Filter by:The aim of this study is to compare the impact of using the aerosol box and transparent sheet as an adjunct to conventional personal protective equipment on endotracheal intubation of COVID-19 patients. The effect of the head of the bed elevation will also be evaluated during the mentioned simulated scenarios.
The study is a prospective, randomized, placebo-controlled, double-blind phase 2 clinical study of the efficacy and safety of CERC-002, a potent inhibitor of LIGHT (Lymphotoxin-like, exhibits Inducible expression, and competes with Herpes Virus Glycoprotein D for Herpesvirus Entry Mediator, a receptor expressed by T lymphocytes), for the treatment of patients with 2019 novel coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pneumonia who have mild to moderate Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome (ARDS). LIGHT is a cytokine in the tumor necrosis factor super family (TNFSF14) which drives inflammation and induces many other cytokines including IL-1, IL-6 and GM-CSF. LIGHT levels have been shown to be elevated in COVID-19 infected patients and inhibiting LIGHT is hypothesized to ameliorate the cytokine storm which has shown to be a major factor in progression of ARDS. The study will assess the efficacy and safety of CERC-002 in patients with severe COVID-19 over a 28 day period as single dose on top of standard of care.
The project is a part of the "Protocol for a multicentre study of nosocomial SARS-CoV2 transmission: The NOSO-COR Project" registered in ClinicalTrials (NCT04290780). In the current pandemic context, medical resources have often been exceeded. Developing, using artificial intelligence techniques, an algorithm capable of detecting patients at risk of acute respiratory distress following Sars-Cov2 infection could help physicians to optimize the treatment of patients and health decision-makers to optimize resources. Thus, the goal of this project is to create a prediction model using artificial intelligence to predict an unfavorable evolution of Covid-19 at the hospital admission of patients
This is a 14-day long prospective, multi-site, two-armed, randomized, open-label study that will enroll approximately 100 adult outpatients in Canada who have received a positive SARS-CoV-2 test result within the preceding 72 hours. Participants will be randomized (1:1) to receive either icosapent ethyl (4 g BID for 3 days, then 2 g BID for the subsequent 11 days) or usual care. Blood samples will be collected to determine if icosapent ethyl use lowers circulating pro-inflammatory biomarkers.
Whether the perceived changes in management of Acute Severe Ulcerative Colitis during the COVID pandemic are widespread, and whether they have any impact on patient outcomes
The purpose of this research is to find out if a drug (sargramostim) also known as Leukine® could help patient recover faster from COVID-19. Sargramostim may help the lungs recover from the effects of COVID-19, and this research study will help to find this out.
The purpose of this study is to test the safety and tolerability of LY3819253 when it is given by injection into a vein to participants hospitalized with COVID-19. Blood tests will be done to check how much LY3819253 is in the bloodstream and how long the body takes to eliminate it. Participation could last about 8 weeks and may include up to 15 visits in the hospital or the home.
Beyond supportive care, there are currently no proven therapeutic options for pneumonia due to coronavirus disease (COVID-19), the infection caused by Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). Human convalescent plasma is an option for treatment of COVID-19 and will be available when sufficient numbers of people have recovered. Such persons should have high titer neutralizing immunoglobulin-containing plasma.
The SARS-CoV-2 pandemic and resulting COVID-19 disease causes a substantial burden on healthcare systems. Little is known about how the infection spreads within healthcare. In order to design control strategies, knowledge of the presence of viral nucleic acid and whether an immune response to the virus has been mounted is needed. The purpose of this study is to determine whether personnel and patients/clients in healthcare in Region Stockholm have a currrent SARS-CoV-2 infection or have had an infection. This information will be used to understand how the infection spreads in healthcare, to explore the association with sick-leave among personnel, and to plan high-quality and safe care. Healthcare providers and organizations participating in the study from the greater Stockholm region include the following: Karolinska University Laboratory, Karolinska University Hospital; Intensive Care Unit, Karolinska University Hospital; SciLifeLab; KTH Royal Institute of Technology; Roo Home Healthcare Services (Roo Hemtjänst och Vård); Health Care Services Stockholm County (SLSO); Region Stockholm; Southern Hospital (Södersjukhuset); Danderyd Hospital; Capio St Göran Hospital; Södertälje Hospital; Tiohundra AB; Ersta Hospital, Sweden; and St Eriks Eye Hospital (St Eriks Ögonsjukhus).
This study aims to evaluate the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and its measures on lifestyle in Dutch children between 4 - 18 years.
