Filter by:This study will evaluate the safety of a 96-hour intravenous vitamin C infusion protocol (50 mg/kg every 6 hours) in patients with hypoxemia and suspected COVID-19.
Background: In the Covid-19 pandemic context, all healthcare teams face clinical, organizational and technical challenges given the contagion, severity and mortality characteristics of the disease. A study reported the negative psychological impact on healthcare workers of this new situation, in terms of depression, anxiety and distress. Working in frontline constitutes an independent risk factor for worse mental health outcomes. Methods: This is a cross-sectional study aiming to compare levels of burnout, emotional distress and needs between frontline Covid-19 and non-Covid-19 healthcare workers. Any physician, nurse and physiotherapist will be recruited from emergency care units and Covid-19 care units (target group) and from non-Covid-19 care units (control group) from different hospitals in Belgium. The participation will occur on a voluntary basis. Participants will be recruited from April 15th 2020 to May 15th 2020. Participants will complete self-reported questionnaires and scales. A mixed-mode data collection will be carried out, either in paper or web-based form. This mixed-mode survey will ensure the highest range of participants, considering the hygiene and organizational requirements for target care units. Assessment will provide socio-demographic characteristics and professional information. It will also measure professional fulfillment and burnout with the Stanford Professional Fulfillment Index (PFI), emotional distress with the Depression, Anxiety and Distress Scale-Short Form (DASS-21), sleep disturbance with the Insomnia Severity Index (ISI) and needs with the Needs and Difficulties Inventory (developed for the study). Hypothesis: This study is based on the hypothesis that higher levels of burnout, depression, anxiety and stress will be found in frontline Covid-19 healthcare workers than in non-Covid-19 healthcare workers. Considering the unprecedented challenges for healthcare workers and organizations, and considering the exploratory nature of the study, no hypothesis is made for the needs of the healthcare workers. Statistical Analysis: Means and standard deviation will be calculated for the PFI, the DASS-21, the ISI and the NDI. Multivariate Analysis of Variance (MANOVA) will be performed including the PFI, the DASS-21 and the ISI scores to test the effect of group (work position), occupation and the two-way group × occupation interaction effect. Age, gender, profession, sector of activity, job status and job experience will be entered as covariate. Odds ratio will be also provided. All tests are two-tailed and alpha is set at .05. All analyzes will be performed using IBM SPSS®, version 26.
This prospective randomized single Center study investigates to what extent the physical elimination of the inflammatory mediators using the CytoSorb adsorber reduces the morbidity of severely and critically ill patients with Covid-19.
Patients who are severely ill with COVID-19 may benefit from receiving plasma infusions from donors who have recovered from the disease and are proven to no longer be infected. Efforts to initiate the collection and infusion of these products to high risk patients have been initiated around the world and the FDA has recently provided information about how this could be accomplished. As the Jefferson Blood Donor Center already has processes to collect, test and process blood, investigators are planning to make efforts to collect plasma for this use should it be necessary. The purpose of this study is to describe the process for identifying and collecting convalescent plasma from donors previously infected with the virus. The research portion on top of this standard blood product collection will the process of identification of subjects and processes by which blood products are processed in this special population. This protocol does not involve the administration of blood products to patients with COVID-19 infection.
This is a multi-centre study on lung cancer patients which experienced COVID-19. Information on clinical features, clinical course, management and outcomes will be collected for both, thoracic cancers and COVID-19 infection. Firstly, investigators will be registered in an online secure registry. After that, a protocol will be developed in order to collect clinical data for the research. It will also include I on the care organization or the perception of the patient and their family members. The final stage will consist on retrospective data collection from patients. So, it is a retrospective study data collection, preceded by prospective data registry.
In this study invetigators propose to administer clazakizumab to patients with life-threatening COVID-19 infection manifest by pulmonary failure and a clinical picture consistent with a cytokine storm syndrome. This is a double-blinded randomized multi-center trial designed as a phase II dose-finding three arm trial with seamless adaptive transition to a phase III efficacy trial. For phase II, patients were randomized 1:1:1 ratio to three study arms and received clazakizumab at a dose of 12.5 mg, 25 mg or placebo. Based on interim analysis, the low dose arm was dropped and the phase III portion of the study continued to enroll patients randomized 1:1 to high dose clazakizumab or placebo. Based on interim analysis, the remaining 10 subjects at NYU will be randomly assigned to a 1:1 ratio to two arms that will receive clazakizumab at a dose of 25 mg or placebo. The NYU site will serve as the central data management site for other centers who undertake this protocol. Other sites will enroll patients based on the two arm 1:1 randomization. 60 patients at outside sites are expected to enroll.
Cross-sectional study based on a French national survey aimed to described and identify the most frequent symptoms of COVID-19 older patients.
The present study is a randomized clinical trial, with the approval of the ethics committee will be conducted on patients who have a positive test confirming COVID-19 in Loghman Hakim Medical Education Center in Tehran. Patients will be randomly assigned to the three arms of the study and after completing the course of treatment and collecting and analyzing the necessary information from each patient, the results of the study will be published both on this site and in the form of an article in a reputable international journal.
This is a Phase 2, two-arm, randomized, double blind, placebo controlled multicenter study to evaluate the safety and efficacy of leronlimab (PRO 140) in patients with mild-to-moderate symptoms of respiratory illness caused by coronavirus 2019 infection.
The current containment linked to COVID-19 will have consequences for people suffering from addiction and there is a risk of overdoses when the containment ends. So the investigators hypothesize that this health crisis is an opportunity to develop risk reduction and access to care for vulnerable people who lives with an addiction. The main objective of this study is to describe the changes in the psychoactive substances consumption during the containment in people suffering from addiction. The secondary objectives are to describe the evolution at 1 month from the end of the containment of problematic consumption and the level of access to care of these users
