Filter by:As part of the internal quality management (QM project), this retrospective cohort study examines the adherence to Standard Operating Procedures (SOP) of the COVID-19 patients treated since January 1st, 2020 to February 28th, 2021 in intensive care units of the Clinic for Anesthesiology m.S. operative intensive care medicine CCM / CVK.
The study aims to investigate the efficacy of favipiravir in high-risk COVID-19 patients. The study population includes symptomatic mild-to-moderate COVID-19 inpatients, within first 7 days of illness, who are 50 years old and above, and have 1 or more comorbidities. The study is designed as a randomised, open-label, multicenter clinical trial where the patients are randomised 1:1 to groups receiving favipiravir (5 days) versus no favipiravir.
This is a VLP SARS-CoV-2 vaccine study of a vaccine developed in Turkey and manufactured according to Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP) requirements. Preclinical toxicology studies on experimental animals are to be concluded. The purpose of this Phase I study is to examine the safety, tolerability, and immunogenicity of the protective VLP vaccine against SARS-CoV-2, which will be administered by a double-blind, randomized method, in two different doses (low dose and high dose).
An interventional clinical trial using oral nicotinamide riboside (NR) in hospitalized patients with COVID-19 infection and acute kidney injury to determine the effect of NR on whole blood nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD+) levels and to evaluate safety of the use of NR.
Since December 2019, coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), caused by the severe respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), has affected more than 124 million people worldwide as of 23/3/2021. While studies on the outcomes of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) (an important gastroenterological disease requiring immunosuppressive therapies for treatment) patients with COVID-19 have been published recently, little is known about the impact of COVID-19 on the clinical outcomes and management of IgG4 related disease patients with pancreatobiliary involvement. Because the number of IgG4 patients with pancreatobiliary involvement cared by individual centers and the prevalence of COVID-19 infection in different geographical regions vary, we propose to conduct a multicenter retrospective study to further evaluate the impact of COVID-19 on the clinical outcomes and management of IgG4 related disease patients with pancreatobiliary involvement.
1. ry outcome includes the correlation between lymphocyre /neurtophll ratio (LNR) and mortality rate during hospital stay in the ICU admitted COVID 19 patients. 2. ry outcome(s) include the LNR and its correlation with ICU stay, the need for mechanical ventilation, renal impairment.
In the context of the actual pandemia of the Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) which requires a better diagnostic strategy for the management of patients. The study of volatile organic compounds (VOC) detected in exhaled air or in sweat, is an innovative research area for respiratory diseases. The analysis of VOC can be done either by the technique of the mass spectrometry which allows the identification of each VOC in the exhaled air or by the technique of electronic nose, simpler and faster, which provides an idea of the general profile of the VOC without identifying them. The VOC have shown their interest in some situations, such as diagnostic or prognostic tool in patients followed for thoracic tumorous pathology or bronchial or pulmonary vascular diseases. Moreover, it has recently been shown that properly trained dogs would be able to detect an olfactory signature of SARS-CoV-2 infection with a specificity greater than 90%; this olfactory signature corresponds to VOCs detectable by the flair of dogs (Nosaïs-Covid19 study). Validation of the diagnostic value of VOC analyzes by non-invasive and rapid methods (electronic nose analysis or mass spectrometry; detection by the scent of dogs) for the rapid detection and early diagnosis of a SARS-CoV-2 infection warrants the performance of this clinical study.
COVID-19 is a respiratory disease caused by a novel coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2) and causes substantial morbidity and mortality. There is currently no vaccine to prevent infection with SARS-CoV-2 and no therapeutic agent to treat COVID-19. This clinical trial is designed to evaluate the potential of Brensocatib (INS1007) as a novel host directed therapy for the treatment of adult patients hospitalized with COVID-19. The investigators hypothesise that Brensocatib, by blocking damaging neutrophil proteases, will reduce the incidence of acute lung injury and acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) in patients with COVID-19, thereby resulting in improved clinical outcomes at day 15 and day 29, fewer days dependent on oxygen or mechanical ventilation, and shorter length of hospital stay. High rates of patients requiring mechanical ventilation and overwhelming intensive care unit capacity has been the major issue contributing to excess deaths in Italy and Spain during the pandemic and is likely to be a major issue in other countries such as the United Kingdom in the coming weeks. Treatments that could prevent the requirement for mechanical ventilation or shorten the duration of ICU stay by reducing the severity of ARDS are therefore the number 1 target for COVID19 therapy. The investigators recently conducted a large phase 2 study of Brensocatib in patients with bronchiectasis designed to test if treatment with Brensocatib could reduce infective exacerbations and reduce neutrophil elastase activity in the lung in bronchiectasis patients. The study met its primary endpoint of time to first exacerbation and key secondary endpoint of the frequency of exacerbations as well as showing marked reductions in neutrophil elastase concentrations in sputum. Participants will be randomised to receive Brensocatib or placebo 25mg orally once daily for 28 days.
The sudden Covid-19 pandemic has led all healthcare workers to adapt to an unprecedented situation by continuing to provide care while protecting themselves and their patients. Medical care with aerosolization systems is particularly of risk because of the strong propagation of the droplets they generate, especially during oral care. Considering the high risk of transmission of the SARS-CoV-2 virus in dental structures remain essential and still very challenging. The need to put in place care procedures to protect the nursing staff and patients is definitely more than necessary. Dental protection equipments against this emergent virus have progressively integrated daily practice, but, to the knowledge of the investigators, no study has precisely evaluated their efficiency. The main objective of this study is to estimate the risk of dental practitioners to be contaminated by SARS-CoV-2 during dental procedures with or without aerosolization procedures. For this, after their informed consent, vaccinated dental practitioners or practitioners with a positive covid serological tests of the dental department of Charles Foix hospital will receive individually forty to fifty COVID+ patients. COVID + patients will be included a maximum of one week after the diagnosis of the pathology. Patient care will be determined and performed according to standard practice as part of their standard management and without interference with the study. The usual measures to protect caregivers. The included patients will undergo an oral dental procedure either with aerosolisation or not. Then, SARS-CoV 2 samples will be collected using viral swabs on different spots, followed by detection and quantification by PCR. Swabbing will be achieved on: - The facial skin, nasal, ocular and oral mucosa of the practitioners. - The protection equipment of the practitioners (FFP2 masks, visors,surgical calot,gloves) . - The environment (dental Chair, surgical light, turbine, contra-angle, on the ground..) The presence of viral loads in areas used by COVID + patients will be evaluated by PCR after swabbing. The study will provide insight into the risk of SARS-CoV 2 contamination for practitioners performing dental procedures in COVID + patients. This risk will be assessed at the level of the facial skin and oral mucous membranes, which are the doors of entry of the virus. This study will thus make it possible to assess the protective capacity of the protection protocol implemented in investigators' department in this epidemic situation. This will be assessed depending on whether or not aerosolization is used, its type and the nature of the ventilation in the operating room.
Several publications document the occurrence of prolonged or late-onset symptoms beyond 3 weeks after the first clinical manifestations of SARS-COV2 infection. These manifestations may be related to thromboembolic or inflammatory events or other mechanisms that are not yet well understood. The psychosomatic origin secondary to psychiatric disorders prior to the infection or in reaction to it is also to be evoked. The identification of the clinical manifestations observed, and their clinical and paraclinical evolution are essential to better understand the natural evolution of COVID-19, to specify the physiopathological mechanisms and to identify potential avenues of management for the patients. In addition, the impact of COVID-19 infection on primary care visits is not known. In general practice, these patients benefit from explorations and even diagnoses that may explain the persistence of symptoms (autoimmune diseases, thrombosis, somatoform disorders, hyperventilation syndrome, etc.). The objective of the COCO_Vi_LATE project is to carry out a cross-sectional study of patients presenting persistent and/or recurrent symptoms after an infection with SARS-COV-2 who will be compared to individuals with a short form of infection with COVID-19
