Filter by:An open experimental design was used in this study, and 240 subjects were planned to be enrolled. To evaluate the immunogenicity and safety of recombinant Novel Coronavirus vaccine (CHO cells) after sequential intensification in populations vaccinated with two doses of marketed Novel Coronavirus inactivated vaccine.
Throughout the Coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic, rates of COVID-19 have been persistently high in San Diego County's central and southern communities near the United States/Mexico border. These regions predominantly house Latino residents, the ethnic minority community most impacted by COVID-19 in San Diego. In the Phase I project, University of California, San Diego (UCSD) partnered with San Ysidro Health (SYH) and the Global Action Research Center, to co-create and demonstrate the impact of a COVID-19 testing program in San Ysidro, one of the most impacted areas from COVID-19 in San Diego County. To date, the project tested >10,000 community members (92% Latino) and received requests to scale-out the testing program to additional primary care clinic sites. In this Phase III project, Community-engaged Optimization of COVID-19 Rapid Evaluation And TEsting Experiences (CO-CREATE-Ex) will extend work with the Phase I community and clinical partners to refine, specify, implement, and evaluate an implementation strategy bundle that optimizes COVID-19 testing, expanding beyond current polymerase chain reaction (PCR) testing to FDA-authorized COVID-19 rapid antigen testing.
Justification: among the sequelae of Covid-19 in clinical practice we frequently find persistent neuromusculoskeletal pain. Prevalence data and the underlying mechanisms of such pain are very limited in the scientific literature. Therefore, with this research we will try to answer these questions. Main objective: to determine and characterize persistent musculoskeletal pain in Covid-19 patients. Method: two phases. First, a descriptive cross-sectional study will be carried out to estimate the prevalence of Long Covid Pain (LCP). Second phase, a case-control study will be carried out using the sample obtained in the first phase as the population. The sample will be divided into two groups: post-Covid-19 patients with LCP and post-Covid-19 patients without persistent pain (control group). The two groups will be matched according to sex, age and level of severity of the pathology. An assessment and comparison between groups will be made of the following variables: central sensitization, healthy physical condition and blood test values, which will be evaluated by means of physical examination, questionnaires and laboratory tests. Applicability of the results: this is a pioneering project at the national level, which would determine more reliably the prevalence of LCP in postcovid and could be a first step in the search for the best therapeutic strategies for these patients. This would help to improve the quality of life of these patients and to better manage the social and healthcare resources used in their treatment.
Justification: among the sequelae of Covid-19 in clinical practice we frequently find persistent neuromusculoskeletal pain. Previous studies carried out by this research group and in the scientific literature have shown that "Pain Neuroscience Education" (PNE) and Therapeutic Exercise (TE) constitute an effective care strategy in the treatment of persistent pain. Therefore, with this research we will try to respond with a treatment proposal from Primary Care (PC). Objective: to determine whether an PNE and TE program is effective in patients presenting Long Covid Pain (LCP). Method: Randomized clinical trial. A sample of 80 subjects will be recruited. The intervention group will receive a program of TE and PNE, of 12 weeks duration: 5 weeks of PNE, of 1 weekly session of 90 minutes, and 7 weeks of TE, with a total of 19 sessions of 60 minutes duration. The control group will receive the usual treatment. An assessment will be made at the beginning and after the end of the intervention, where the following variables will be measured: quality of life, intensity, distribution and expansion of pain, healthy physical condition and blood test values. These will be evaluated by means of physical examination, questionnaires and laboratory tests. Applicability of the expected results: The proposed intervention is simple and reproducible. It requires few resources, and can produce changes in pain perception, functionality and quality of life in patients with LCP.
Post-acute COVID syndrome (PACS) /post-acute sequale of COVID-19 (PASC) / post-COVID is a novel clinical syndrome with unknown biological mechanisms, and to date no standard-of-care, routines for follow-up, or evidence-based treatments have been established. In this project, we will employ a systems medicine approach to identify pathways and networks of genes, proteins and metabolites that are critical in disease onset and progression, towards the goal of understanding specific mechanisms in the etiology of PASC. The objective of the project is to perform clinical and molecular characterization and sub-phenotyping of patients with PASC, (a.k.a. PACS, or post-COVID), into mechanistically relevant groups, with focus on sex differences in patients with lung involvement. Molecular pathways involved in disease etiology will be identified by correlating rigorous clinical phenotyping and longitudinal eHealth data (home-monitoring via App, home spirometer etc), with multi-molecular level omics profiling of samples collected from the lung, integrated with our systems medicine framework. Aim I involves longitudinal home-monitoring at baseline to investigate fluctuations in general wellbeing, and causes thereof, in PASC patients with lung involvement compared to healthy controls. In Aim II, a set of omics technologies will be employed to provide in-depth molecular characterization of samples from the lung, exhaled particles (PExA), blood and urine. In depth clinical characterizations including photon-counting CT will be performed. In Aim III, integrative statistical- and network modeling approaches will be utilized to: i) identify molecularly distinct sub-groups of obstructive lung diseases based on multi-molecular level network-integration, and ii) identify individual mediators and molecular pathways related to clinical phenotype including longitudinal home-monitoring data, prognosis, diagnosis, and disease etiology of the identified sub-groups.
There is an increased lack of short- and long-term real-life effectiveness and safety data on new oral antivirals authorised and commercialised to treat COVID-19. To date, only two clinical trials have been published with data on the efficacy and safety of the use of the Paxlovid® and Lagevrio®. Since there is a public health, political, social and economic pressure to prevent severity, hospitalisation and death from COVID-19, monitoring the effectiveness and safety of commercialised oral antiviral therapies against COVID-19 has become emergent pharmacovigilance and public health task. The objective of the study is to monitor the post-marketing safety and effectiveness of the new oral antivirals indicated for the treatment of COVID-19, namely Nirmatrelvir/Ritonavir (Paxlovid®) and Molnupiravir (Lagevrio®), having as holders of the Authorization of Market introduction to Pfizer Europe MA EEIG and Merck Sharp & Dohme B.V., respectively.
The goal of this study is to assess serious adverse events associated with hospitalizations in the non-acute phase after vaccination with the mRNA-1273 vaccine in persons with underlying diseases who are considered to have a high risk of severe exacerbation of COVID-19.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of repurposed medications (study drug(s) in reducing symptoms of non-hospitalized participants with mild to moderate COVID-19. Participants will receive either study drug or placebo. They will self-report any new or worsening symptoms or medical events they may experience while taking study drug or placebo. This study is intended to be all remote with no in person visits, unless the study team feels it is in the best interest of a participant to see them in person. Prior and current drug arms are listed on clinicaltrials.gov and will be updated with the activation of any new drug arms. Each study arm will also have its own clinicaltrials.gov entry and will include "Pro00107921" in the Unique Protocol ID.
