Filter by:The aim of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of Mefloquine as a prophylaxis against SARS-Cov-2 infection in household contacts of COVID 19 confirmed. This study is an open-label, randomized, placebo controlled trial. A total of 1500 household contacts of COVID-19 confirmed cases who will attend triaging clinic of 5 Egyptian university centers (Helwan university hospital, Ain Shams university hospital, Assiut University Hospital, Fayoum university hospital and Tanta university hospital). The household contacts of COVID-19 confirmed subjects with a decision for home-isolation will be recruited to participate into this study. The recruited subjects from each center will be randomly assigned (locally in that center) into 2 groups (750 volunteer in each group). The 1st group will receive Mefloquine (1100-1650 mg according to body weight), orally, while the other group will receive the same number of placebo tablets (control group). Previous infection will be excluded for all recruited subjects by testing for the presence of anti-bodies against COVID-19 to exclude previous infection. Subjects who are tested negative will be allocated into one of the 2 study groups after randomization, and treatment will be started immediately (either mefloquine or placebo). In addition, a nasopharyngeal swap will be taken from each recruited subject and tested by PCR for COVID-19 to exclude current infection. After having the PCR results, positive cases will be analyzed separately to test for the disease severity. Neurological and cardiac assessment will be done for all volunteers before recruitment to exclude the presence of any contraindication for Mefloquine intake. Both groups will be followed up clinically to detect any symptom or sign of COVID-19 infection for 2 weeks (during the period of home isolation). Nasopharyngeal swap with PCR for COVID-19 will be done for all included subjects at the end of the follow-up period (14 days), or at the appearance of symptoms or signs suggesting COVID-19 infection. Primary end points of the study are either: - End of follow up period (2 weeks) - Confirmed diagnosis of COVID-19 infection during the study time Initial severity assessment of COVID-19 infection will be done in all infected subjects in both groups to compare severity, in addition to following up of the fate of the infected subjects.
This is a multi-centre, multi-country retrospective cohort study. At least 450COVID-19 cases from up to 20 participating study sites who meet all eligibility criteria will be included in the analysis. Deidentified data will be extracted from electronic medical record (EMR) databases, clinical registries, case series or additional sources from participating sites and countries, and then entered into a structured e-CRF system. addition, each site/country will be surveyed to determine the local standard of care therapy for COVID-19 infection and to determine if standard protocols were/are in place for the use of Remdesivir and if/how the protocols changed over time.
This is a single arm, pilot multicenter prospective study in up to 22 participants with relapsing multiple sclerosis. Patients screened for the study can either be scheduled for vaccine, have received a single vaccine with a scheduled second dose, or already completed full course (two dose) vaccination. Fully vaccinated participants must be able to complete immune assay No.1 ≥ 14 days after the second dose of vaccine
This is a Phase 2, open-label, randomized controlled trial to determine the effects of Telacebec (Q203) on inhibition of leukotriene production, clinical change, pharmacokinetics, and safety in participants with moderate COVID-19 disease
A Randomized, Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled, Clinical Trial to Evaluate the Safety, Tolerability, Efficacy, and Pharmacodynamics of ADX-629 Administered Orally for the Treatment of COVID-19
The complexity of COVID-19 suggests a potential need for a range of therapies, including antiviral agents, immunostimulants, immunosuppressants, adaptogens, and anticoagulants. In this context, implementation of polyvalency drugs, which exhibit a wide range of biological activities and multitarget effects that is common for herbal medicines and specifically for Kan Jang, the fixed combination of Andrographis paniculata (Burm. F.) Wall. ex. Nees and Eleutherococcus senticosus (Rupr. & Maxim.) Maxim which are known to exhibit antiviral, immunomodulatory, and anti-inflammatory effects and clinical efficacy in the respiratory tract of patients with infectious diseases. The purpose of this study is to provide scientific evidence on the effectiveness of Kan Jang for the treatment of mild COVID-19. We hypothesize that Kan Jang will have superior efficacy in amelioration COVID symptoms compared to placebo with a comparable safety profile to placebo. We hypothesize that Kan Jang will increase patients' recovery rate and decrease the duration of illness. The objective of the study is to assess the efficacy and tolerability of adjuvant treatment with Kan Jang for alleviating the severity of inflammatory symptoms (headache, loss of smell, gustatory dysfunction, rhinorrhea, nasal congestions, cough, sore throat, asthenia, myalgia, and fever) and shortening of their duration in mild COVID-19 patients.
Widespread testing and contact tracing are critical to controlling the COVID-19 epidemic. Distribution of COVID-19 self-test kits can augment public health contact tracing efforts, as individuals with COVID-19 can distribute self-testing to close contacts. This approach can increase case detection by facilitating testing among exposed individuals, and potentially ameliorate stigma, fear, and medical mistrust associated with COVID-19 among vulnerable populations. The central hypothesis of this study is that distribution of SARS-CoV-2 self-tests to close contacts of among individuals with COVID-19 infection can increase case detection compared with a standard contact referral strategy.
Covid-19 disease is one of the most important health system challenges which is the result of the recent SARS CoV-2 virus outbreak. So far, despite the use of different types of pharmaceuticals, none has been served as a curative treatment and research is continued to find one or more effective drugs; either palliative or curative ones. One of the most important clinical problems in Covid-19 patients is lung involvement, which may causes significant sequels; leading to a main part of morbidity and/or mortality. Surfactant is one of the drugs that can have valuable effects on the lungs, both by reducing the alveolar surface tension and by exerting immunomodulatory effects. In a previous study by the same team, favorable effects were seen in intubated patients; however, the aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of exogenous nebulized surfactant in the pre-intubation stages of the disease.
In the planned study, it was aimed to examine the effect of tele-education offered in the postpartum period in the covid 19 pandemic on the levels of depression, attachment and anxiety of women.
This pilot double-blind randomized controlled trial will test the preliminary efficacy of two doses of a combination of live microbials (probiotics) given to boost the immunity of unvaccinated persons previously infected with SARS-CoV-2.
