A single center, randomized, doubled-blind, placebo-control and single ascending dose study to evaluate the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics (PK), and immunogenicity of LY-CovMab Injection in Chinese healthy subjects.
Therapeutic plasma exchange (TPE) has been proposed as a rescue therapy in critically ill COVID-19 patients. The aim of this study is to determine whether combining TPE with convalescent plasma (CVP) transfusion early during the intensive care unit (ICU) stay, improves survival among this heterogeneous population.

The aim of the study is to assess the safety, and immunogenicity of AZD2816 for the prevention of COVID-19
The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) outbreak first appeared in Wuhan, China's Hubei Province in December 2019 and has quickly turned into a worldwide pandemic. As of 28 July 2020, 16,465,707 cases of COVID-19 have been reported. COVID-19 is a highly contagious respiratory disease that causes respiratory, physical and psychological dysfunction in patients. Severe respiratory symptoms have been observed in COVID-19 patients. Fever (88.7%), cough (57.6%) and shortness of breath (45.6%) were observed in an average of 81% of the patients. However, patients with comorbidities such as hypertension and diabetes, usually over 65 years of age, may have very serious pulmonary sequelae of the infection. Due to lung fibrosis as a result of pneumonia in COVID-19, some patients experience severe respiratory failure requiring pulmonary rehabilitation. In the study of Complaints such as peripheral and respiratory muscle weakness, shortness of breath on exertion, and decreased exercise capacity may be seen in patients who have had COVID-19. In addition, while anxiety and depression increase, quality of life may decrease. In a study conducted with geriatric patients who had COVID-19 and were discharged; Peripheral and respiratory muscle strengthening exercises were given to the patient after discharge, and as a result of the study, it was found that the patient's walking distance and cough strength increased, while the complaints of shortness of breath, anxiety and depression decreased significantly. As a result of this; We can say that while shortness of breath, anxiety-depression and complications are reduced with the pulmonary rehabilitation program in patients with pulmonary involvement who have had COVID-19, participation in daily life activities and quality of life increase. Telerehabilitation is an emerging method that aims to provide rehabilitation to patients and clinicians by reducing barriers such as distance, time and cost by using information and communication technologies. Telerehabilitation enables patients who cannot access rehabilitation due to geographic, economic or physical disabilities to benefit from rehabilitation services. At the same time, the importance of social distance is emphasized for the continuation of the pandemic process and protection from the highly contagious COVID-19 infection.
BIPGEN is a cross-sectional study on the genetics of bipolar disorder. As a subproject of BIPGEN, BIP-COVID is a cross-sectional genetics study about risks & resilience in the COVID-19 (Coronavirus disease) pandemic in bipolar disorder (BD) and healthy controls at the Medical University of Graz. Study participants with BD and controls from the well-established BIPLONG and BIPGEN studies will undergo a special BIP-COVID visit, which will include a COVID-19 specific online Lime survey about the psychological burden in the COVID-19 crisis, a COVID-19 antibody test (IgM and IgG), inflammation markers and isolation of DNA from fasting blood. Genotyping of DNA will be done with the GSA V.3 array. Genetic analyses (Polygenic Risk Scores of I. Stress or Major Depression and II. COVID-19 infection established with the programs PLINK, PRSice and R) will be used to analyze the genetic mechanisms of COVID-19 pandemic associated psychological symptoms and COVID-19 infection risk. Systems biology methods will be used to depict protective pathways against COVID-19 infection (e.g. Lithium pathways) and against COVID-19 associated psychiatric symptoms.
Cerebral Palsy (CP), is the most common cause of physical disability that begins in childhood and lasts throughout life, affecting 1 in 500 newborns, with an estimated prevalence of 17 million worldwide. Social isolation, economic conditions, interruption of treatments, etc. may cause physical, mental, behavioral and psychosocial changes in children with cerebral palsy. Discontinuing regular physiotherapy can worsen functional skills and cause complications in children with cerebral palsy. Our aim in this study is to investigate the sustainability of the treatments of children with cerebral palsy during the pandemic period, their physical and psychosocial effects, and the relationship between their parents' fear of covid-19.
To date, some of the most promising drugs used in the treatment of COVID pneumonia are systemic corticosteroids, remdesivir and baricitinib. Dexamethasone has been found efficacious in reducing mortality in patients requiring supplemental oxygen and mechanical ventilation. There is a trend towards reduced mortality in patients who receive remdesivir and dexamethasone combination, supporting the hypothesis that an antiviral drug combined with an anti-inflammatory agent improve outcomes in COVID-19. Baricitinib plus remdesivir is superior to remdesivir alone in reducing recovery time and accelerating improvement in clinical status among patients with COVID-19, notably among those receiving high-flow oxygen non-invasive ventilation. Diabetes mellitus increases the risk for COVID-19 morbidity and mortality. Patients with diabetes have coexisting morbidities and already immune-compromised. Steroids cause further immunosuppression and may contribute to uncontrolled blood glucose in this group of patients, resulting in worse outcomes. Baricitinib can be an alternative to corticosteroids in diabetic patients. This open-label multi-centre non-inferiority randomized controlled trial will be conducted in seven hospitals in Bangladesh. The primary objective is to evaluate the clinical efficacy of baricitinib plus remdesivir compared to dexamethasone plus remdesivir in hospitalized COVID-19 patients with diabetes mellitus, as assessed by the proportion of patients, need "rescue treatment" between two groups by day 29. Hospitalized adult (≥18 years) diabetic patients with confirmed SARS-CoV-2 infection have ordinal scale category 5 will be included in the study. Subjects will be randomized in a 1:1 (by tossing a coin) ratio in two groups. The total sample size is 362. Group 1 subjects will receive 200 mg of remdesivir administered intravenously on Day 1, followed by a 100 mg once-daily dose of remdesivir while hospitalized for up to 5 days and 4 mg of baricitinib administered as 2 tablets taken orally daily while hospitalized for up to 14 days. Group 2 will receive the same dose of remdesivir plus 6 mg of dexamethasone administered as an intravenous injection daily while hospitalized for up to 10 days. Subjects will be assessed daily while hospitalized. Discharged subjects will be evaluated on days 15, 22 and 29 (in person; if not possible, over the telephone). Assessment will be done clinically using an 8-point Ordinal Scale and National Early Warning Score.
The spread of the new SARS-CoV-2 virus has led to a pandemic. Described for the first time in China at the end of 2019, it causes Covid-19 disease. Its characteristics in terms of contagiousness and lethality have led countries to adapt their screening and care strategies. Early and accurate identification of people infected with SARs-CoV-2 is an essential measure to confront Covid-19 pandemic. A key aspect of Covid-19 is that diagnostic tests must be able to detect the virus in asymptomatic, pre-symptomatic and symptomatic patients. Changes in human odor, as symptoms of specific diseases, have been observed. Dogs have already been used to detect breast or lung cancer, diabetes, epilepsy or kidney disease with some success There is currently a growing body of research and previous work, though preliminary, indicating the possibility that dogs identify persons infected with Sars-Cov-2 compared to healthy persons. The purpose of this study is to determine whether trained detection dogs are able to identify asymptomatic patients infected by Sars-Cov-2. The investigators aim to validate the possibility to identify / discriminate patients with Covid-19 according to their odor by a proof of concept (with specificity and sensitivity of the detection test), i.e. new non-invasive screening method using dogs odor detection capabilities.
