Filter by:This study is designed as a prospective, multicentric, sample collection study. The collected samples will be used for diagnostic research, product development and validation of the Panbio™ COVID-19/ Flu A&B Rapid Panel for the qualitative detection of COVID-19 antigen, Influenza A antigen (H1N1 and H3N2), and Influenza B antigen in human nasal and nasopharyngeal swabs by the study sponsor, Abbott.
Des vaccins sont désormais disponibles en France, dont le vaccin Moderna COVID-19 qui est basé sur la technologie des ARNm. La séquence génétique qu'il contient code pour la protéine Spike (S) de l'enveloppe virale, protéine clé de la pénétration du virus dans les cellules qu'il infecte. Le vaccin ARNm est injecté par voie intramusculaire et pénètre dans les fibres musculaires, qui sont des cellules produisant des protéines en très grande quantité en continu, notamment pour la production de myofibrilles impliquées dans la contraction musculaire. Une fois à l'intérieur de la fibre musculaire, l'ARNm vaccinal est traduit par la machinerie de la fibre musculaire permettant une grande quantité de protéine Spike (S) qui sera présentée au système immunitaire provoquant la réponse vaccinale et notamment les anticorps neutralisants anti-S (NAb). Ces NAb anti-S agissent en perturbant l'interaction entre la protéine S du virus et le récepteur ACE2 (Angiotensin-Converting Enzyme 2), qui sert généralement de " passerelle " entre le virus et la cellule. Une campagne de vaccination est actuellement en cours au MAS-YDK avec le vaccin Moderna. Cette population est donc relativement homogène en termes d'amyotrophie, de non exposition au SARS-CoV-2 et de protocole vaccinal.
A comparison of clinical characteristics and outcomes of patients on extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) in COVID-19, influenza and ARDS of other ethiologies
A frequent complication of COVID-19 disease is pulmonary embolism (PE). Lung ventilation/perfusion (V/P) scintigraphy is a well-established test for PE diagnosis. The test is interpreted based on the recognition of wedge shaped perfusion mismatched defects. However, the ventilation procedure increases the potential risk of contamination by the aerosol secretion and the expired air. A variety of strategies have been proposed in the nuclear medicine literature regarding performance of lung ventilation scintigraphy in COVID-19 patients with suspected acute PE. However, there is currently no factual data in this specific population to support recommendations to the nuclear medicine community. The aim of this study was to assess the role of ventilation imaging when performing lung scintigraphy for suspected PE in COVID-19 patients.
This is a single blind, placebo-controlled clinical trial designed to determine the safety and tolerability of MTx-COVAB36 after a single administration in a dose escalation, dose limiting toxicity (DLT)-driven approach in healthy volunteers. Additional data to define the recommended phase II dose (RP2D) will also be determined. MTx-COVAB36 is a fully human monoclonal IgG1 antibody derived from the memory B cells of convalescent COVID-19 donors and directed against SARS-CoV-2 spike protein with potent virus neutralising activity. The trial will comprise four dose cohorts, each composed of 6 participants receiving MTx-COVAB36 and 2 participants receiving placebo, with pre-defined dose levels. The pre-defined investigational medicinal product (IMP) doses are: 100 mg, 500 mg, 1,000 mg and 2,000 mg, respectively. Participants will be administered a single dose of either IMP or placebo on Day 1 of the study and will be followed up until 63 days post administration.
This is a first-in-human (FIH), Phase 1b, open-label, dose-escalation, safety trial consisting of 3 dose levels. Subjects will always be treated in cohorts of size 3, with from 3 up to 6 cohorts i.e. 9-18 subjects.
COVID-19 is associated with increased morbidity and mortality in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) on dialysis. CKD requires particular emphasis during the pandemic due to concern for increased susceptibility to infection from greater use of health facilities in people undergoing maintenance hemodialysis. COVID-19 due to SARS-CoV-2 involves multiple organs and lung injury is one of the most clinical manifestations. The binding of SARS-CoV-2 to the ACE2 receptors at target cells ,including type II pneumocytes ,and alveolar macrophages in the lung could arise into acute systemic inflammatory responses and cytokine storm.The consequentially leading to lung-resident dentritic cells (rDCs) activation, T lymphocytes production and release antiviral cytokines into the alveolar septa and interstitial compartments resulting in diffuse alveolar epithelium destruction,hyaline membrane formation, alveolar septal fibrous proliferation and pulmonary fibrosis.Although it has been reported that subgroups of COVID-19 survivors developed persistent lung parenchymal injury that persisted at least after 6 months 5-6 ,the data in CKD patients has not been reported yet.In addition, a study of pulmonary function test after COVID-19 is needed to be investigated.Thus,we plan to assess pulmonary sequalae of COVID-19 in hemodialysis (HD) patients and pulmonary function test after recovered of infection at least 3 months.
Since the emergence of the novel severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) pathogen in late 2019, millions of people around the world have fallen ill and died from coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), with variant-fueled case spikes causing repeated cycles of morbidity and mortality. The rapid development and emergency use authorization of vaccines against SARS-CoV-2 presents an enormous opportunity to protect populations, but bottlenecks in production have led to demand for vaccines that far outpaces supply. This project will investigate the immunogenicity of fractional doses of SARS-CoV-2 vaccines given a minimum of six months following an initial two-dose schedule or following natural immunity via documented infection. The consortium of research partners from the Sabin Vaccine Institute, Aga Khan University, Fundação Oswaldo Cruz (Fiocruz), and Stanford University will recruit volunteers to receive a full or fractional booster dose of BNT162b2, AZD1222 or Sinovac following receipt of their primary vaccination series or PCR-confirmed natural infection in Pakistan. The research team will follow participants for six months from boosting, with blood draws at baseline, 28 days, 3 months and 6 months, and measure sero-response rate (SRR) by anti-Spike immunoglobulin G (IgG) binding enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) with the ultimate aim of identifying whether fractional doses provide a similar immune response compared to full doses of vaccine.
This study is a prospective observational study that compares the anticoagulant therapy decision time among moderate and severe COVID-19 patients whose coagulation profiles were tested with thromboelastography (TEG) to those with a standard coagulation profile laboratory examination.
The objective of the study is to improve glycemic control in inpatient/ICU settings using real- time continuous glucose monitors (CGM) data for insulin titration. It may help reduce Coronavirus disease 2019 patient contact with healthcare workers as well.
