Filter by:The COVID-19 pandemic created an urgent need to implement digital health solutions for remote clinical management of infected patients who could be monitored at home. The Gemelli Polyclinic in Rome provided a digital health program (SATCOV) to monitor at home newly diagnosed COVID-19 patient, or after an early discharge from the COVID units. A digital application and a wireless oximeter were provided to patients. Oxygen saturation, heart rate and body temperature were monitored. The aim is to evaluate the feasibility and safety of the oxygen saturation telemonitoring in COVID-19 patients. Clinicians personalized their remote assistance defining specific alerts for each patient and/or required a timely hospitalization in a dedicated COVID unit if necessary.
Cognitive impairment is increasingly recognised as a major component of long Covid, and is estimated to be present in 25-75% of affected individuals. This impairment impacts quality of life and the loss of functional ability has major consequences for affected people, their families and the wider economy given people's difficulty in returning to work. This study will focus on helping people recover from cognitive Covid. This will involve use of rehabilitation strategies aimed at improving function in those cognitive functions identified in Stage 1 as being most affected, and assessing the benefit of rehabilitation on quality of life and people's ability to return to everyday function. These strategies will be co-produced in collaboration with a group of people living with cognitive Covid. At the end of Stage 2 we will produce a freely available "Covid-19 Cognitive Recovery Guide" for affected people, their close contacts and clinicians. In conclusion, cognitive impairment is frequently observed in long Covid but at present little is understood about its nature, or how it can be treated. The sheer scale of the CV19 pandemic makes this a top priority unmet need for healthcare worldwide. The aim of this study is to meet this need and to deliver a treatment plan for affected people which will help them return to normal life and working ability.
Open prospective non-comparative study of safety and tolerability of the drug (GamCoviMab) with the description of the parameters of the therapeutic efficacy in patients with confirmed COVID-19 diagnosis.
Nasal irrigations are thought to reduce the amount of virus from the nasal cavity. The aim of the present study is to evaluate the effect of a hypertonic seawater solution containing algal and herbal natural ingredients (Sinomarin®) on the nasopharyngeal viral load in hospitalized patients with severe COVID-19 pneumonia. The investigators will conducted a prospective, randomized, controlled trial. Patients will be allocated in two groups, the hypertonic seawater group receiving nasal irrigations with a hypertonic seawater solution (Sinomarin®) every 4 hours during a 16-hour interval per day, for two consecutive days, and the control group (no nasal irrigations). Forty-eight hours after the baseline nasopharyngeal swab (and 8 hours after the last wash in the hypertonic seawater group), a second nasopharyngeal swab will be collected for the semiquantitative estimation of the SARS-CoV-2 viral load as determined by cycle threshold (Ct) values.
The SARS-CoV-2 pandemic still represents a global health, social and economic emergency. In Italy, since the beginning of the pandemic, a total of 4,709,753 cases and 131,461 deaths have been recorded. The vaccination campaign against COVID-19, launched on 27 December 2020, has made it possible in Italy to achieve complete vaccination coverage (two doses) of 80.6% of the population aged > 12 years. The latest data on the impact of vaccination in preventing new infections, hospitalizations and deaths report a strong reduction in the risk of SARS-CoV-2 infection in fully vaccinated people compared to unvaccinated people (78% for diagnosis, 92% for hospitalization, 95% for ICU admissions and 94% for deaths); most of the cases notified in the last 30 days in Italy have been diagnosed in unvaccinated people2. Evidence on the immunogenicity and safety of anti-SARS-CoV-2 vaccination in pregnant women, although not deriving from clinical trials, is growing, even if not yet conclusive. On the efficacy of mRNA vaccines in pregnancy, a retrospective Israeli cohort study reported a significantly lower risk of contracting SARS-CoV-2 infection compared to unvaccinated women. Furthermore, a greater maternal and perinatal morbidity from COVID-19, also associated with the circulation of the Delta variant, has been highlighted by the recent analyzes of the English data, updated to 11 July 2021. The Istituto Superiore di Sanità, in the light of the growing evidence on the safety of vaccination during pregnancy for both the fetus and the mother, the new evidence relating to the greater morbidity associated with the Delta variant, the growing circulation of the same variant and the significant lowering of median age at infection in Italy, recommends extending the vaccine offer, with mRNA vaccines, to all pregnant women in the second and third trimester. Objectives of the study: Evaluate the quality in terms of reception of the anti-COVID-19 vaccine offer, the knowledge and attitudes towards the aforementioned vaccination by pregnant women who join the Vaccination Open Day and who access the FPG Covid Vaccination Center for this vaccination. Primary endpoint: Measuring acceptance of the anti-COVID-19 vaccine offer and knowledge about vaccination, by means of a questionnaire to be administered after vaccination.
In the follow-up of partecipants with Covid-19 infection, persistence of cardiovascular symptoms is common. Studies on the acute phase of Covid-19 infection have demonstrated a significant prevalence of acute myocardial damage (15-44%), and imaging studies have confirmed the presence of structural changes in the pericardium and myocardium several months after the acute phase. The aim of the project is to identify the prevalence and characteristics of long-term cardiovascular changes in Covid-19 infection.
This is a prospective multicenter study conducted to evaluate the performance of the LumiraDx SARS-CoV-2 Ag Ultra test in detecting severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) and LumiraDx SARS-CoV-2 & Flu A/B test in differential detection of SARS-CoV-2, Influenza A (Flu A) and Influenza B (Flu B) at point of care sites. Subjects presenting with symptoms suggestive of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) and/or Influenza at the time of the study visit will be enrolled and asked to donate swab sample(s) for testing in the device(s) under evaluation.
The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate immune response and safety of SARS-CoV-2 subunit protein recombinant vaccine (IndoVac) as a heterologous booster dose in healthy children 12-17 years of age. Participants who had received complete primary doses of inactivated (Sinovac®) COVID-19 Vaccine will be given IndoVac as a booster dose.
This is a non-interventional study to perform the clinical performance evaluation of the Starfish Test using prospectively collected matched nasopharyngeal and nasal swab samples from the same donor.
The goal of this clinical trial is to assess the immunogenicity, efficacy and safety of the Convacell vaccine in healthy adult volunteers aged 18 years and older. The main questions it aims to answer are: - To assess the immunogenicity and safety of single and double dose intramuscular administration of the Convacell vaccine; - To assess the epidemiological effectiveness of the Convacell vaccine in the prevention of SARS-CoV-2 infection and development of severe COVID-19 compared with placebo when single or double intramuscular injection.
