Filter by:There is currently no clinically proven specific antiviral agent available for SARS-CoV-2 infection. Supportive treatment, including oxygen therapy, remains the most important management strategy. Since its discovery, lactoferrin and its related peptides are mainly considered to be important non-specific host defense molecules against a broad range of viruses including SARS-CoV, which is closely related to SARS-CoV-2 that causes COVID-19. Lactoferrin has been found to experimentally inhibit viral entry in murine coronavirus, and human coronaviruses hCOV-NL63 and pseudotyped SARS-CoV. Besides reducing viral entry, lactoferrin can also suppress virus replication after the viral entry. Another major aspect of lactoferrin bioactivity relates to its immunomodulatory and anti-inflammatory functions. Current thinking suggests that mortality from COVID-19 is not simply due to viral infection but is a result of a cytokine storm associated with hyper-inflammation leading to acute respiratory distress and subsequent mortality. A cytokine profile in severe COVID-19 cases is characterized by increases in cytokines and acute phase reactants and ferritin. In this regard, lactoferrin was demonstrated to reduce IL-6, TNF a, and downregulate ferritin in experimental settings simulating sepsis. In this study, we aim to study the potential application of lactoferrin against SARS-CoV-2 and propose the possibility of using different doses of supplemental lactoferrin as a potential adjunct treatment for COVID-19.
A randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study to assess the efficacy and safety of pulsed inhaled iNO compared to placebo in subjects with COVID-19.
The purpose of this study assess the efficacy and safety of anti-SARS-CoV-2 convalescent plasma in hospitalized patients with acute respiratory symptoms up to 14 days after the onset of initial symptoms.
QuadraMune(TM) is a nutritional supplement which has previously been demonstrated to possess antiinflammatory and immune modulatory activity based on in vitro and pilot in vivo studies. The current clinical trial aims to assess in a 500 volunteer trial the efficacy of QuadraMune(TM) in reducing infection in individuals at high risk of COVID-19.
The reason for this study is to see if the study drug baricitinib is effective in hospitalized participants with COVID-19.
This is an expanded access program providing COVID-19 convalescent plasma to patients hospitalized with severely or life-threateningly ill COVID-19.
The purpose of this trial is to investigate the efficacy and safety of continuous intravenous administration of low dose iloprost versus placebo for 72-hours, in 80 patients with COVID-19 suffering from respiratory failure. The study hypothesis is that iloprost may be beneficial as an endothelial rescue treatment as it is anticipated to deactivate the endothelium and restore vascular integrity in COVID-19 patients suffering from respiratory failure caused by endothelial breakdown, ultimately improving survival. Given that the pulmonary system, apart from the brain, is the most highly vascularized vital organ in the body, extensive endothelial damage is a central feature of acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) with respiratory failure being the rationale for the current study COMBAT-COVID-19.
We hypothesize that the intake of Omni-Biotic® 10 AAD can reduce intestinal inflammation and improves dysbiosis in Covid-19 disease. We further hypothesize that Omni-Biotic® 10 AAD can reduce the duration of diarrhea, stool frequency, improve stool consistency, improve other gastrointestinal symptoms of Covid-19, reduce disease duration and severity. The investigators aim to perform a randomized, double blind, placebo-controlled study using telemedicine in patients with Covid-19 disease.
This study aims primarily 1. to assess the frequency, nature and outcome of liver disease caused or associated with COVD-19 Furthermore, the study also aims 2. to assess the impact of COVID-19 on patients with chronic liver disease or after liver transplantation (frequency of infections, course of disease, outcome) 3. to assess, whether quarantine measures impact on the rate of decompensation of liver cirrhosis 4. to assess whether the intake of antiviral drugs protects against SARS-CoV-2 infection or COVID disease.
The study objectives are to descript clinical, biological and echocardiographic features of an acute myocarditis in children in the context of COVID-19 and to identify the underlying mechanism : direct viral damage and/or inadequate host response risk.
