Filter by:Primary objective: To demonstrate non-inferiority in sustained virologic response (SVR, undetectable HCV RNA at Follow up week 12) between PEG-Intron 1.5 µg per kg SC Q1W + Ribavirin 800-1400 mg PO daily and P1101 400 µg SC Q2W + Ribavirin 800-1400 mg PO daily for the treatment of chronic HCV genotype 2 infection
This study is to analyse risk factors for wound complications or surgical site infections and to analyse whether risk factors for wound complications or surgical site infections are also factors for other complications. Based on the data from this study it will be investigated whether a risk score can be build up to predict individual risk for a complication after surgery.
The new Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2) named coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is currently responsible for a pandemic spread of febrile respiratory infections, responsible for a veritable global health crisis. In adults, several evolutionary patterns are observed: i) a/pauci-symptomatic forms; ii) severe forms immediately linked to rare extensive viral pneumonia; and iii) forms of moderate severity, some of which progress to secondary aggravation (Day 7-Day 10). Children can be affected, but are more rarely symptomatic and severe pediatric forms are exceptional. Like some other coronaviruses (SARS-CoV and Middle East respiratory syndrome coronavirus (MERS-CoV)), these differences in clinical expression could be based on a variability in the immunological response, notably either via inhibition of the type I interferon (IFN-I) response, or on the contrary an immunological dysregulation responsible for a "cytokine storm" associated with the aggravation. Little is known about the impact of these innate immune response abnormalities on the adaptive response. In addition, certain genetic factors predisposing to a state of "hyper-fragility" and certain viral virulence factors could also be predictive of the clinical response. In this context, the main hypothesis is that the virological analysis and the initial biological and immunological profiles are correlated with the initial clinical presentation of COVID-19 infection. In particular, children forms and pauci-symptomatic disease in adults may be linked to a more robust innate immune response, including better production of IFN-I.
This is a single arm phase II trial to assess efficacy and confirm safety of infusions of anti-SARS-CoV-2 convalescent plasma in hospitalized patients with acute respiratory symptoms,with or without confirmed interstitial COVID-19 pneumonia by chest Xray or CT. A total of 29 eligible subjects will be enrolled to receive anti-SARS-CoV-2 plasma.Outcomes will be compared to hospitalized controls with confirmed COVID-19 disease through retrospective chart review.
Mandibular osteitis after flap reconstruction is rare but is a serious infection with significant sequelae. The aim of this study is to describe this type of infection
COHIVE is an observational cohort nested in four antiretroviral therapy research studies (ADVANCE - NCT03122262; D²EFT - NCT03017872; DolPHIN2 - NCT03249181 and NAMSAL-ANRS12313 - NCT02777229). COHIVE will include participants who are possible COVID-19 cases with symptoms or confirmed COVID-19 cases, and participants who agree to have a serology testing for SARS-CoV-2 regardless of COVID-19 history.
Purpose: To determine the number of asymptomatic individuals who have antibodies to SARS-CoV-2, the virus which causes COVID-19
While pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) is widely recommended and a number of pilot studies are on-going worldwide, progress of its implementation in the real world setting has been slow, especially in Asia. This study aims to develop a service model for PrEP delivery and test its operability in the real world setting. In this implementation study, 400 individuals with high sexual risk of HIV infection who fulfil eligibility criteria would be recruited. Eligible participants would receive one year of daily tenofovir disoproxil fumarate 300mg / emtricitabine 200mg (TDF/FTC) for free. A client-initiated approach would be adopted, requiring participants to self-arrange for regular HIV/sexually transmitted infections (STI) testing. An online system would be developed to facilitate participants to plan for testing and consultation for accessing PrEP. Questionnaire at baseline and subsequent monthly follow-up would be administered to assess behaviour, monitor adverse effects and drug adherence, the latter coupled with the completion of an online diary. Testing of HIV and creatinine would be performed using point-of-care test or by phlebotomy during clinical visits. Blood samples would be collected for archiving. Around 40 participants would be invited to join an in-depth interview in the later part of the study to evaluate the service model. The main outcome measures are: PrEP service adherence, PrEP drug adherence, prevalence of drug intolerance, prevalence of unprotected sex in the study period, incidence of HIV and STI
Background Rapid European COVID-19 Emergency Research response (RECoVER), is a project involving 10 international partners that has been selected for funding by the European Union under the Horizon 2020 research framework responding to call topic SC1-PHE-CORONAVIRUS-2020: Advancing knowledge for the clinical and public health response to the SARS-CoV-2 epidemic. MERMAIDS 2.0 is the hospital care study within RECOVER. Rationale Detailed patient-oriented studies are needed to determine the spectrum of SARS-CoV-2 disease and the combined influences of age, comorbidities and pathogen co-infections on the development of severe disease, together with virological and immunological profiles. This research is key to understanding the pathophysiology and epidemiology of this new disease, as well as to identifying potential targets for therapeutic or preventive interventions. Objective To establish the prevalence, disease spectrum and severity, clinical features, risk factors, spread and outcomes of novel 2019 coronavirus infection (SARS-CoV-2) in Hospital Care. Study design Prospective observational cohort study in selected European countries. Study population Children and adults with 1) acute respiratory illness (ARI) presenting to hospital care during the SARS-CoV-2 epidemic (including both COVID-19 and non-COVID-19 patients) and 2) patients with confirmed COVID-19 infection, but with atypical presentation (non-ARI) or with nosocomial acquisition. Sites can optionally participate in the following tiers: Tier 1 (Clinical data and biological sampling) - Clinical samples and data will be collected on enrolment day and then at scheduled time points. Tier 2 (Clinical data an extended biological sampling). - incl. PBMC collection Optional add-on study In a subset of sites and patients, COVID-19 positive patients will be followed post-discharge for 6 months to study clinical recovery and long-term sequelae Main study parameters/endpoints: Prevalence of COVID-19 among patients with acute respiratory illness. COVID-19 disease spectrum and host and pathogen risk factors for severity. Long-term sequelae of COVID-19 requiring hospital care. Proportion hospital-acquired COVID-19 infections and characteristics of nosocomial transmission. Study Duration Scheduled 2 years and based on COVID-19 dynamics. Nature and extent of the burden associated with participation, benefit and group relatedness This study is observational in nature. There will be no direct benefit to research participants. The study may include biological sampling in addition to sampling required for medical management. The results of the tests done on these samples may not contribute to improving the participant's health. Minimal inconvenience and discomfort to the participant may arise from study visits and biological sampling.
ACCESS enables individuals to contribute to critical research, via an iOS and Android smartphone mobile application. ACCESS combines patient reported outcomes, data from wearable devices and real-world data (such as claims, EHRs, etc), with an opt-in to participate in current and future studies for diagnostics, treatments and vaccines. The data that people share can be quickly and anonymously matched to research studies, providing researchers with a foundational framework for dynamic research at scale and participants a way to be personally matched and prescreened for future research.
