Filter by:The researchers wanted to learn how to help sick patients who are in the hospital because of COVID-19. They are trying to find out the best way that is safe to stop blood clots that could be dangerous from forming in patients with COVID-19. This research study happened at 34 hospitals. All patients in the study took medicines that help prevent blood clots. These medicines are called blood thinners or anticoagulants. Patients got different amounts of blood thinners to see what works better and is safer. Researchers randomly chose some patients to get more and some to get less. The researchers also wanted to know if another medicine called clopidogrel can safely help stop blood clots from forming. This kind of medicine helps keep parts of the blood, called platelets, from sticking together. In some patients who did not have other reasons to take a platelet-blocker the researchers randomly chose the patient to take clopidogrel or not. This type of medicine is also called an antiplatelet.
The experience of a loved one's stay in a COVID-19 intensive care unit (ICU), either intubated or on respiratory support, forces family caregivers (hereafter 'caregivers') to face core existential fears, such as uncertainty and death. It also poses a serious threat to basic human needs for autonomy, competence, and relatedness, as family caregivers have no control over the illness, and limited prior competence in dealing with critical illness. COVID-19 likely aggravates this experience, as social distancing cuts caregivers off from visiting patients in the ICU, from using their usual social supportive network and the threat of infection extends to caregivers themselves, their children and family. Combined, these extreme circumstances put caregivers in emotional turmoil and in need of psychological support and assistance in managing difficult emotions. ICU caregivers are at risk of developing clinically relevant symptoms of anxiety or posttraumatic stress. During the patient's ICU stay, caregivers experience peri-traumatic distress, such as helplessness, grief, frustration and anger, that may predict later posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Symptoms of anxiety and PTSD may last for months to years after the patient's discharge. Further, caregivers of patients who die in an ICU may be at greater risk of prolonged grief disorder. Supportive interventions may reduce psychological late effects in ICU caregivers, but the primary focus of the majority of interventions has been on communication or surrogate decision making. The CO-CarES study aims to develop and test the feasibility of a tele-delivered psychological intervention to enable caregivers of ICU patients with COVID-19 to better endure the overwhelming uncertainty and emotional strain and reduce the risk of posttraumatic stress and prolonged grief. The study hypothesizes that providing psychological intervention during and after the patients' hospitalization, can decrease peri-traumatic distress during ICU hospitalization and decrease risk of post-traumatic stress, anxiety, depression and perceived stress following discharge, as well as prolonged grief in bereavement. A secondary hypothesis is that changes in emotion regulation mediate effects of the intervention on long-term psychological outcomes.
The purpose of this study is to investigate whether an empirically validated treatment for insomnia (CBT-I) administered early in the course of sleep disturbance can prevent insomnia disorder or lessen negative mental health outcomes in the wake of the COVID-19 crisis in adults.
The leading cause of death in patients with COVID19 is a severe inflammatory response caused by a cytokine storm that results in acute respiratory distress syndrome and acute pulmonary insufficiency, as well as dysfunction of several vital organs. Therefore, preventing the occurrence of uncontrolled inflammation is the main goal of the ongoing clinical trials. Chloroquine and tocilizumab, which have the best results, are also prescribed to control inflammation. But it can be said that treatments are the main source of inflammation. Inflammasome NLRP3 is one of the mechanisms involved in many severe inflammatory disorders. Inflammatory activation has already been demonstrated by many viruses. Melatonin, on the other hand, is a hormone in the body that can inhibit Inflammation NLRP3 in addition to various anti-inflammatory effects, especially after severe inflammation. Older adults with lower levels of melatonin and children with maximum levels of melatonin are the risk groups and low-risk groups for the disease, respectively. In the present study, while measuring melatonin in patients with COVID19, its effectiveness as a treatment method along with the common antiviral drug regimen in patients with severe disease will be evaluated.
This is a prospective, phase 2, multicenter, randomized, double blind, placebo controlled, parallel group study to assess the safety and efficacy of CSL312 administered intravenously, in combination with standard of care (SOC) treatment, in patients with Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID 19)
The purpose of this study is to assess whether lopinavir/ritonavir (or eventually other antiviral drugs) is effective at reducing the rate of hospitalization among confirmed COVID-19 cases treated as outpatients.
The purpose of this study is to determine if prophylaxis with RTB101 decreases the severity of laboratory-confirmed COVID-19 among adults ≥ 65 years who reside in a nursing homes in which one or more residents or staff have laboratory-confirmed COVID-19
This study will evaluate the efficacy and safety of combination therapy with remdesivir plus tocilizumab compared with remdesivir plus placebo in hospitalized patients with COVID-19 pneumonia.
COVID-19 is a disease whose development, prognosis mechanism and immune status are still unknown. The aim of the study is to determine the relationship between clinical and laboratory data and the severity of the disease by evaluating the hematological and radiological features of the patients. The secondary aim is to determine the predictive values of clinical and laboratory data for the severity of COVID-19.
The study was not opened.
