Filter by:The world is currently facing a pandemic with the coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2) which leads to the disease of COVID-19. Risk factors for a poor outcome of COVID-19 have so far been identified as older age and co-morbidity including chronic respiratory conditions such as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and current smoking status. Previous studies found, that vitamin D deficiency is more prevalent among patients with these risk factors. There are observational studies reporting independent associations between low serum concentrations of 25-hydroxyvitamin D (the major circulating vitamin D metabolite) and susceptibility to acute respiratory tract infection. Vitamin D substitution in patients with COVID-19 who show a vitamin D deficiency should therefore be investigated for efficacy and safety. The study is designed as a randomized, placebo-controlled, double blind study. The objective of the study is to test the hypothesis that patients with vitamin D deficiency suffering from COVID-19 treated under standardized conditions in hospital will recover faster when additionally treated with a single high dose of vitamin D compared to standard treatment only.
Pandemic period could affect the disabled children's rehabilitation and follow-up negatively because of preventive measures and this could create adverse results on their parents. In this research, it is aimed to determine the positive and negative effects of pandemic on parents and disabled children and to provide an insight for future solutions.
This project covers several research aims. In a cohort study, the investigators aim to compare confirmed COVID-19 patients with non-COVID-19 patients who undergo surgical treatment and study factors associated with good or bad outcomes.
The present study aims to investigate the endothelial vasodilator function in patients with COVID-19
The study objectives were to assess 1/the immune status of healthcare professionals with suggestive symptomatology of Covid-19 infection and 2/the sensitivity and specificity of AAZ rapid test by comparing it with a serological ELISA test. An open-label, monocentric, prospective, non-randomized study, is conducted, including 50 hospital healthcare professionals and 50 private health professionals. Knowledge of serostatus will achieve the implementation of a strategy of management of patients according to specific immunity of health professionals
While many people with COVID-19 suffer from respiratory disease, there is growing evidence that the virus also affects other organs. The purpose of this study is to better understand the effects of COVID-19 on the lungs and other organs. The study investigators have developed new techniques in Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) to scan the lungs, heart, brain and liver. The study investigators hope to learn more about how the virus causes inflammation in these organs and how this inflammation changes over time as people recover from COVID-19 illness. The study aims to enroll 228 people in Alberta. Participants will undergo one or more MRI scans and have blood testing at one or more time points to assess for inflammation, kidney function, liver function and possible heart injury. Participants will also undergo testing to assess sense of smell, cognition (thinking and memory), spirometry (breathing test for lung function) and and exercise tolerance (walk test). The study investigators hope this study will help us learn more about the long-term risks of COVID-19 disease.
Considering the potential of mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs) in the treatment of lung injuries by COVID-19, this pilot clinical trial evaluates the safety and potential efficacy of the cell therapy, administered intravenously, in patients with pneumonia associated with COVID-19-associated acute respiratory distress syndrome.
Clinical observation has found that COVID-19 patients often present inconsistency of clinical features, nucleic acid of the SARS-CoV-2 and imaging findings, which brings challenges to the management of patients.The quantitative assessment of patients' pulmonary lesions of chest CT, combined with the basic information, epidemiological history, clinical symptoms, basic diseases and other information of patients, will quickly establish a reliable prediction model for the severe COVID-19. This model will greatly contribute to the effective diagnosis and treatment of COVID-19.
This is a prospective observational study using a mobile study platform (app) that is designed for use on Android phones. Study participants will provide baseline demographic and medical information and report symptoms of respiratory infection on a weekly basis using the app. Participants will also report use of prevention techniques on the weekly survey. Mobility data will be collected passively using the sensors on the participant's smartphone, if the participant has granted the proper device permissions. The overall goals of the study are to track spread of coronavirus-like illness (CLI), influenza-like illness (ILI) and non-specific respiratory illness (NSRI) on a near-real time basis and identify specific behaviors associated with an increased or decreased risk of developing these conditions.
This is a Phase I study that randomized, double-blind, Placebo-controlled, Parallel Group, Single Ascending Dose Study to evaluate Safety, Tolerability and Pharmacokinetics of CT-P59 in Healthy Subjects.
