Filter by:The proposed phase 2a trial will determine whether MIB-626 treatment in adults with COVID-19 infection and stage 1 acute kidney injury is more efficacious than placebo in preventing worsening of kidney function, as assessed by longitudinal changes in serum creatinine concentration, and in attenuating the inflammatory response to the infection.
There are very few long-term studies that analyze the immune responses in patients recovered from COVID-19 caused by the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). The main aim of this study is to analyze the clinical profile and immune responses of recovered COVID-19 patients in a representative cohort of people in the Umbria region of Italy. The participants had a history of testing positive for SARS-CoV-2 in March 2020 by Reverse Transcriptase- Quantitative Polymerase Chain Reaction (RT-qPCR). The participants were invited for voluntary participation in a seroprevalence study. This study analyzes longitudinally the presence of antibodies against SARS-CoV-2 by sequential serological tests at different time points using two FDA-approved Immunoassays. At the first serum sample collection, the participants were asked to provide information about their COVID-19 clinical history including clinical profile, co-morbidities, and treatment undertaken using a standardized questionnaire. Successive sequential serological assessments were conducted to understand the immune responses in these recovered patients. Moreover, stage two of the study involves, analysis of antibody titers in recovered vaccinated individuals and their follow-up.
This study is designed for single-center, randomized, open label, standard therapy controlled. 60 COVID-19 subjects with a treatment period of 10 days and follow-up until 28 days after enrollment.
In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, several vaccines (Pfizer, Moderna, Astrazeneca, Janssen) have been developed and are being administered to millions of people in France and billions around the world through massive vaccination programs. The Janssen vaccine is the fourth COVID-19 vaccine to be licensed in Europe. It received a European marketing authorization for all adults, without age limit, on March 11, 2021. Janssen's vaccine is a viral non replicating vector (adenovirus) vaccine targeting the Spike protein of the SARS-CoV-2 virus. It differs from currently available vaccines in that it is a single-dose regimen with significant protection at 28 days post-injection. Monitoring of the durability of the immune response is essential to assess the need for a booster vaccination. Insufficient data are available in the adult population regarding the evolution of the immune response. This point seems to be even more important in the elderly. Indeed, their immune system declines with age, leading to a greater susceptibility to infectious diseases and a weaker response to vaccination. This is called immunosenescence. Vaccination in this population is essential to avoid severe COVID-19 cases, since older people are particularly at risk. Two CoviCompare studies with two licensed vaccines messenger RNA vaccines (Pfizer, Moderna) are underway to evaluate the immune response to each vaccine according to age. We propose to conduct a study to evaluate the immunogenicity of the Janssen vaccine in different age groups with long-term follow-up. This will allow determining the need of a booster. A common battery of in vitro and ex vivo immuno-monitoring tests has been set up to systematically assess the acquisition of humoral and cellular immunity over time over a period of 24 months following vaccination in the CoviCompare project. This trial, part of the CoviCompare project will use the same immunomonitoring set. This will also allow comparison of the immune response to different vaccines in subjects of different age in order to determine in this at risk population the better vaccination schedules. The only difference between this trial and the other 2 trials of the CoviCompare project is that adults aged 18-45 will not be concerned here, because the adenovirus vaccine is not recommended for this age group in France
Quercetin is a flavonol, a subclass of flavonoid compounds. Of the flavonol molecules, quercetin is the most abundant in fruit and vegetables. Quercetin flavonol is characterized by 3 crucial properties: antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and immunomodulatory. The combination of these 3 properties makes quercetin an excellent candidate for dealing with situations in which oxidative stress, inflammation and the immune system are involved. The purpose of the study is to evaluate the effectiveness of an oral nutritional supplement based on quercetin in the prevention of Covid-19 infection.
As of December 2019, the global pandemic of COVID-19 has spread rapidly throughout the world, putting healthcare staff at the frontline. In this context, several factors leading to the appearance of psychiatric symptoms have emerged : work overload, fear of being infected or of infecting, exhaustion… (The Lancet, 2020) Indeed, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), depressive symptoms, anxiety symptoms, insomnia and increased stress have been reported (Rossi et al., 2020). Furthermore, the increased anxiety and depression symptoms and stress associated with the COVID-19 pandemic may increase the risk of suicide in this already high-risk population. For example, suicidal ideation has been reported in up to 5% of healthcare workers in the United States (Young et al., 2021). It is therefore essential to evaluate the incidence of psychiatric disorders (e.g. PTSD, depression, suicide) and their associated risk factors among the hospital staff. To do so, Montpellier University Hospital healthcare staff was asked their mental state during the first wave of COVID-19.
The COVID-19 pandemic has caused significant morbidity and mortality across the world. Effective vaccines are now available but underutilized. In July 2021, Ascension Health implemented a mandate requiring all employees to obtain the COVID-19 vaccine by November 12th. In August 2021, the number of COVID-19 cases in the US increased rapidly, specifically in states with lower vaccination rates, many of which are served by Ascension Health facilities. In this study, we will evaluate a rapidly deployed health system initiative to use text messaging to nudge Ascension employees who have not yet been vaccinated to commit to a date and receive vaccination.
A randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, adaptive, seamless phase I / II clinical study of the safety and immunogenicity of a recombinant viral vector AAV5-RBD-S vaccine for the prevention of coronavirus infection (COVID-19)
Multi-center multinational-controlled study in Israel, Brazil, Spain, and South-Africa. 240 adult patients who suffer from moderate COVID-19 infection. Safety will be assessed through collection and analysis of adverse events, blood and urine laboratory assessments and vital signs. After Screening visit, the study drug will be administrated twice a day morning and evening (every 12 hours) during (day 1 and day 2) The patients will be randomized in 1:1:1 ratio to study drug (CimetrA) in two dosages in addition to Standard of Care - Arm 1, 2 or (Placebo) in addition to Standard of Care- Arm 3.
The primary objective of this study is to identify efficient treatments to help those with chemosensory losses due to Coronavirus disease (COVID-19). To do so, 75 participants, men and women, aged 18 years old and above living in Canada will be recruited. Participants will be randomly assigned to one of the following three groups (25 in each group): physical activity, smell training, and control. Here is a quick summary of what participants in each group will have to do remotely during 12 weeks: - Physical activity group: Engage in physical activity for 12 weeks and wear a smart watch daily. Attend a 15-minute virtual meeting with a research professional every two weeks, that is six times during the 12 weeks. - Smell training group: Smell four odors twice a day for 12 weeks and evaluate their sensory perceptions via an online survey sent for each session specifically. Attend a 15-minute virtual meeting with a research professional every two weeks, that is six times during the 12 weeks. - Control group: Not change their usual routine for 12 weeks. Complete an online 15-minute follow-up questionnaire every two weeks, that is six times over the 12 weeks. In addition, within each group, 10 individuals from Montreal, Quebec will be randomly selected to complete additional assessments in the laboratory. To distinguish this subgroup, it is called the "in-person subgroup." Participants will be assessed at the beginning of the intervention period, immediately after the intervention period, and 12 weeks after the end of the intervention period. The assessments include various questionnaires on sociodemographic data, physical and mental health, lifestyle habits, sensory dysfunction, nutritional preferences, as well as self-administered smell and taste tests sent by mail. The in-person subgroup only will have to do the following additional assessments: smell and taste tests using special equipment (olfactometer, gustometer, electroencephalogram) and online questionnaires on food intake for the day.
