This study seeks to determine how COVID-19 affects the clinical outcome of patients with chronic liver disease, and whether the clinical course of COVID-19 is influenced by underlying chronic liver disease.
This is a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, multicenter, 28-day study of adult participants hospitalized with COVID-19, with a safety follow-up telephone call at Day 60.
Bacille Calmette-Guerin (BCG) is a live attenuated vaccine administered for prevention of tuberculosis. Recently, several groups have hypothesized that BCG may "train" the immune system to respond to a variety of unrelated infections, including viruses and in particular the coronavirus responsible for COVID-19. Trials are currently being conducted in Australia, Netherlands, Germany and the United Kingdom to evaluate its effectiveness. Front line workers includes members of municipal and provincial police services, emergency medical personnel, firefighters, public transport employees, health service workers and food manufacturing employees. They are at high risk of infection from COVID-19, with potentially high infection rate. The investigators propose an interventional trial to evaluate the effectiveness of BCG vaccination to prevent COVID-19 infection and reduce its severity in front-line employees in Ontario.
This phase Ib/II trial studies the side effects and best dose of ibrutinib and how well it works in treating patients with COVID-19 requiring hospitalization. Ibrutinib may help improve COVID-19 symptoms by lessening the inflammatory response in the lungs, while preserving overall immune function. This may reduce the need to be on a ventilator to help with breathing.
An observational study of consecutive patients testing positive for COVID-19 who require admission to hospital to determine the degree of myocardial injury through biomarkers and echocardiography and the impact of this on cardiovascular outcomes. The COVID-19 disease and CARdiac Events study (COVICARE).
Around 30% of admitted patients with COVID-19 pneumonia develop a hyper-inflammatory state whose progression to an acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARSD) could be prevented by the early initiation of immune-modulatory agents. The role of glucocorticoids (GC) in this setting remains controversial. This study aims to assess the safety and effectiveness of GC pulses to improve the clinical outcomes of patients with COVID-19 pneumonia with risen inflammatory biomarkers.
Hundreds of thousands of confirmed cases have been reported worldwide, just 3 months after the first patients were identified in Wuhan, China. Just like other members of the community, MS patients are uncomfortable with the emotional distress and health anxiety caused by the COVID-19 outbreak. Most MS patients receive immunosuppressive or immunomodulatory therapies. Patients taking immunosuppressive agents are theoretically at increased risk of being affected by viral pandemics, and a higher health concern is expected in this group of patients. Moreover, MS patients lose social support. Patients with increased duration of stay can no longer access physical and cognitive rehabilitation therapies. We also know that increased anxiety and sleep disorders can cause MS patients to have an attack. When literature is examined, it is known that MS patients' physical activity levels decrease, fatigue, sleep quality and anxiety levels increase, so their quality of life and participation in daily life activities decrease. MS patients lose social support during the COVID-19 outbreak. For all these reasons, we think that the fatigue, physical activity level, anxiety level and sleep disturbances affected before the COVID-19 outbreak will be further affected for these reasons.
The aim of this preliminary study is to describe the potential decline in forced expiratory volume in 1 second (FEV1) or forced vital capacity (FVC) as measured by home spirometry in high-risk subjects infected with COVID-19. We hypothesize that the magnitude of such a decline in FEV1 and/or FVC may be associated with clinical deterioration and hospitalization. The study will ultimately inform a larger subsequent RCT that will evaluate the efficacy of home spirometry in the early detection (pre respiratory symptoms) of respiratory complications and therefore prompt early medical attention which is a key for improving outcome.
Prospective, multi-centre, randomized, double-blind trial to assess efficacy and safety of ivermectin for the treatment of initial infection with SARS-CoV2 infection. Study arms: A) placebo B) ivermectin 600 μg/kg daily for 5 consecutive days (I_600) + placebo. C) ivermectin 1200 μg/kg daily at empty stomach with water for 5 consecutive days (I_1200). Patients will be randomized at emergency room of hospitals as well as at outpatient ambulatory care as well as at home, according to routine procedures of recruiting centres. In arm A and B, the number of placebo tablets to be administered will be calculated by the study dedicated pharmacist considering the number of tablets that should be taken in case a patient with the same weight is assigned to arm C.
