Filter by:To verify that the efficacy of favipiravir exceeds that of the actual supportive care (symptomatic therapy) in SARS-CoV-2 infected patients (COVID-19 patients) with mild pneumonia, using the time required to improve clinical symptoms as the primary endpoint.
Double-blinded, placebo control, randomized, phase-3 clinical trial to evaluate clinical efficacy of Favipiravir in patients with mild to moderate symptoms related to COVID-19 infection
One hundred patients hospitalized and in need of oxygen treatment due to Covid-19 should be randomized and 50% treated with 200 ml convalescent plasma x 3 and 50% given ordinary treatment. Primary outcome is number of days the patients need oxygen within 28 days from inclusion. Secondary outcome is number of days in hospital, number of days in respirator and mortality. Side effects of treatment is monitored.
The COVID-19 infection primarily manifests itself as a respiratory tract infection, although new evidence indicates that this disease has systemic involvement involving multiple systems including the cardiovascular, respiratory, gastrointestinal, neurological, hematopoietic and immune systems. Recent studies have shown that in its pathophysiology, inflammation and thrombogenesis predominate, especially in the severe forms of COVID-19. Thus, the investigators hypothesized that the use of heparin and tocilizumab could potencially reduce inflammation and thrombogenesis in patients with severe COVID-19 infection, improving patients outcomes and survival.
Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is a respiratory tract infection caused by a newly emergent coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2) that can progress to severe multiorgan disease requiring hospitalization. The medium and long-term impact in survivors of COVID-19 on lung function, imaging by thoracic CT, exercise capacity, and health-related quality of life and the relation of these parameters remains to be determined.
The main objective of the tests is to establish saliva collection with Salivette® Cortisol.
The main objective of this study is to assess if analysis of exhaled breath condensate (EBC) can provide useful prognostic markers for admission to the intensive care unit (ICU) due to acute respiratory insufficiency among patients with Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). Additionally, to give a characterization of the lung damage caused by COVID-19 by analysis of daily blood samples. The hypothesis is that the protein content of the EBC from COVID-19 patients who require admission to the ICU differs from the EBC from COVID-19 patients with uncomplicated hospitalization, potentially providing diagnostic markers of COVID-19 related pulmonary damage.
There is currently no known treatment for COVID19. Active smokers are infrequent among patients with COVID-19 which has led our team to hypothesize that nicotine is responsible for this protective effect via the nicotinic acetylcholine receptor (nAChR). In fact, nAChR possess the ability to modulate ACE2 expression, the cellular doorway for SARS-CoV2. nAChR modulation by the virus would be responsible for the numerous clinical signs observed in COVID-19, including the cytokine storm manifested in intensive care hyperinflammatory patients. Based on epidemiological data and experimental data from scientific literature, our team hypothesize that nicotine could inhibit the penetration and propagation of SARS-CoV2. Our team also claim that nicotine could attenuate the hyperinflammatory response and cytokine storm leading to acute respiratory failure and a probable multi-organ failure associated with COVID19.
Longitudinal prospective study in pregnant women withpositive serology or PCR for SARS-CoV-2 and indicationinvasive technique (amniocentesis or chorionic biopsy) that has the objective to evaluate the possible vertical transmission of SARS-CoV-2in the amniotic fluid or chorionic villi of pregnant women affected by coronavirus in the different periods of gestation.
COVID -19, first reported in Wuhan, China, strikes the world hard as a pandemic by spreading up to 213 countries. Bangladesh is also facing its havoc with the death of 3000 among 229,185 cases at its 141st day. Most are mild cases presenting with influenza-like illness with expected recovery. According to World Health Organization, the overall global case fatality rate is currently estimated to be 2.9%. However, patients having severe or critical illness presenting with severe respiratory distress, ARDS or shock suffer most with mortality rates of 49.0-61.5%. Studies suggest that there are mild or severe cytokine storms in severe patients, which is an important cause of death. An exaggerated and uncontrolled release of pro-inflammatory mediators by an overly activated immune system is known as cytokine storms (CS) or cytokine release syndrome (CRS) which has an important role in the hemodynamic insults seen in very ill COVID-19 patients. This aberrant release of pro-inflammatory cytokines causes lung damage, myocarditis, acute kidney injury, etc. In this study, the investigators aim to estimate the burden of cytokines and their correlation with the magnitude of the severity of COVID-19 illness in Bangladeshi adults.
