Filter by:This is a Phase 1/2/3, randomized, placebo-controlled, observer-blind study designed to evaluate the safety, immunogenicity and efficacy of ARCT-154 in adult participants to be enrolled in Vietnam. This study consists of four parts: Part 1 (Phase 1) will evaluate the safety of the study vaccines in 100 healthy individuals. Part 2 (Phase 2) will evaluate the safety and immunogenicity of the study vaccines in 300 healthy individuals. Part 3 (Phase 3a) will evaluate the safety, immunogenicity, and efficacy of the study vaccines in 600 individuals with and without underlying medical conditions. Part 4 (Phase 3b) will evaluate the safety and efficacy of the study vaccines in 16,000 individuals with and without underlying medical conditions. Part 5 (Phase 3c) will evaluate the safety and non-inferiority in immunogenicity of ARCT-154 vaccine vs. Astra Zeneca COVID-19 vaccine (ChAdOx1 nCoV-19) in 2400 individuals with and without underlying medical conditions. In Phase 1, healthy individuals 18 to < 60 years of age will be enrolled. In Phase 2, 3a, and 3b, individuals 18 years of age and older will be enrolled including individuals with underlying medical conditions that put them at higher risk of complications of COVID-19 disease. Phase 1, Phase 2, Phase 3a and Phase 3b participants will be randomly assigned to a study group that will receive up to 2 vaccination series. Each vaccination series comprises two vaccinations at 28-day intervals: an initial vaccination series with vaccinations on Day 1 and Day 29 and an additional vaccination series around 2 months after the first series (on Day 92 and 120). Participants of Phase 2, 3a who received 2 doses of ARCT-154 vaccine will be rerandomized to receive either dose 3 of ARCT-154 on Day 92 plus placebo on Day 120 or placebo on Day 92 plus placebo on Day 120. For Phase 1, Phase 3b and participants in Phase 2 and 3a that received placebo in the first vaccination series, the participants will be switched over to the opposite vaccine in the second series. There is no second vaccination series for Phase 3c as all participants receive active vaccine in the initial series.
Background The impact of the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic on medical services is overwhelming due to limited medical resources. During its initial surge in 2020, Taiwan's government rapidly established diverse public actions, which helped maintain the medical supply without travel restrictions. However, whether the fear of being infected with COVID-19 interfered with health-seeking behavior (HSB) remains unclear. Therefore, this study aimed to elucidate whether acute complicated appendicitis (ACA) rates in adults were affected by the COVID-19 pandemic. Methods A retrospective analysis of acute appendicitis in adults was performed between January 1 and June 30, 2020 (COVID-19 period). The control period was collected from the first two quarters for the preceding 3 years. Outcome measures were ACA and length of hospital stays.
Background: Fatigue is among the most common symptoms of the long-term effects of coronavirus (long COVID). This study aims to compare the effectiveness of osteopathic manipulative treatment (OMT) combined with physiotherapy treatment (PT) compared to PT alone on fatigue and functional limitations after two months post randomization in adults with long COVID. Methods: This is a study protocol for a two-arm, assessor-blinded, pragmatic randomized controlled superiority trial. Seventy-six participants will be randomly allocated to OMT+PT or PT. The PT includes usual care interventions including motor and respiratory exercises targeting cardiorespiratory and skeletal muscle functions. The OMT entails direct, indirect, visceral, and cranial techniques. Patients will be evaluated before and after a 2-month intervention program, and at 3-month follow-up session. Primary objectives comprise fatigue and functional limitations at 2-month post randomization as assessed by the fatigue severity scale and the Post-COVID Functional State scale. Secondary objectives comprise fatigue and functional limitations at 3 months, and the perceived change post-treatment as assessed by the Perceived Change Scale (PCS-patient).
The COVID-19 pandemic is causing unprecedented morbidity and mortality.The safe and effective Novel coronavirus vaccine is an effective means to block the transmission of the virus by building up the immune barrier of the population.Clinical studies have shown that elderly people are at high risk of severe COVID-19 infection and have poor clinical prognosis.Considering the current situation of aging population in China, the elderly people should be given priority to vaccinate to obtain protection and reduce the risk of novel coronavirus infection.However, the current data on vaccines are mostly from young and middle-aged healthy people, while there is little research data on COVID-19 vaccination in the elderly.This study mainly studied the safety and effectiveness of COVID-19 vaccine in the elderly population and explored its potential immune mechanism.
The purpose of the study is to evaluate the safety and immunogenicity of the investigational CpG 1018/Alum-adjuvanted recombinant SARS-CoV-2 trimeric spike (S)-protein subunit vaccine (SCB-2019) in adult participants with stable chronic inflammatory immune-mediated diseases (IMDs), compared to control vaccine.
Study Design: This is a double-blind, placebo-controlled, Phase 3 clinical efficacy study evaluating NONS in adult volunteers as a treatment for high-risk asymptomatic and symptomatic individuals with mild COVID-19 infection. thru facility).
In this study, the investigators will explore the reasons for the apparently lower proportion of severe COVID-19 cases in many sub-Sahara African countries. Indeed, despite fragile health care systems, the burden of COVID-19 on the African continent seems substantially lower than initially feared. Many potential reasons for this discrepancy have been formulated: the different population age structure, experience of African nations with previous pandemics, warmer climate, and genetic preposition. However, another compelling hypothesis is that of trained immunity by endemic pathogens, such as plasmodia. According to this hypothesis, innate immune activation by endemic pathogens would prime a more robust initial innate immune response to SARS-CoV-2 and could therefore protect against severe COVID-19. To explore this, the investigators propose conducting a case-control study in Kinshasa, in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC). Kinshasa is an area with mixed prevalence of malaria and the area in DRC most affected by COVID-19. In this setting, the investigators will compare cases of severe COVID-19 with controls that have non-severe COVID-19 and that are matched for age, sex, and health zone. The aim is to compare pre-existing immunity against malaria, both cellular and humoral between the two groups.
This is a phase 1, placebo-controlled, blinded, randomized, dose escalation study of PBI-0451 in healthy subjects. PBI-0451 is a new chemical entity and inhibitor of the main protease of coronaviruses, including the SARS-CoV-2 that causes COVID-19 disease. The study is designed to evaluate the safety, tolerability and pharmacokinetics of PBI-0451 after single and multiple ascending doses and also to explore drug-drug interaction potential of PBI-0451.
The purpose of this study is to assess the immunogenicity and safety of MVC-COV1901 vaccine compared to AZD1222 in heathy adults.
The primary hypothesis to be tested is whether or not there is a difference in time to sustained alleviation of all targeted COVID-19 signs and symptoms through Day 28 between PF-07321332/ritonavir and placebo.
