Filter by:This protocol tests the safety and efficacy of a novel universal vaccine concept called "allo-priming" which is designed to protect elderly adults from progression of any type of viral infection, including possible protection against progression of the current outbreak of COVID-19 infection, and any future variants, strains, mutations of the causative SARS-CoV-2 virus as well as protection from any future currently unknown newly emergent novel viruses.
Vibroacoustic pulmonary therapy in patients with COVID19 is believed to have a positive effect on oxygen status and a decrease in the duration of respiratory failure
The study aims to evaluate MN-166 (ibudilast) in patients with COVID-19 who are at risk of developing acute respiratory distress syndrome. Subjects will be screened, randomly assigned to MN-166 or placebo groups, receive study drug on Days 1-7, and followed up on Day 14 and Day 28.
The study is composed of two parts. In part A of the study two active doses of inhaled pegylated adrenomedullin (PEG-ADM) will be compared regarding safety and efficacy to a substance that has no therapeutic effect (placebo) in order to find an optimal and safe of the study drug. In part B of the study the highest dose that is considered safe and has demonstrated efficacy will be taken forward to collect information how well patients suffering from Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome (ARDS) respond to treatment with inhaled pegylated adrenomedullin (PEG-ADM) compared to treatment with placebo. ARDS is a type of lung failure that cause fluid to build up in the lungs making breathing difficult or impossible.
Prospective observational study of patients treated due to Covid-19 disease. Observation and analysis of echocardiographic studies performed in the intensive care setting.
The aim of the study is to clinically use bovine Lf as a safe antiviral adjuvant for treatment and to assess the potential in reducing mortality and morbidity rates in COVID-19 patients. The study was approved by the ethical committee of the Egyptian Center for Research and Regenerative Medicine in 11-5-2020.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and impact of intravenous ketamine or sublingual 30% glucose as sedation drugs used in preterm premature babies during the LISA procedure. The second goal is to compare the frequency of complications during LISA with both premedication regimens.
Surfactant administration via thin catheter using a specially adapted video laryngoscope - a prospective, multicenter trial, assessing the feasibility of the VISUAL method (Video Surfactant Administration Laryngoscopy). The study will search for the number of attempts until surfactant is administrated, assessment of the infants' stability during the procedure, duration of the entire procedure, form laryngoscope insertion to surfactant administration.
The use of a mixture of helium with oxygen (heliox) as a breathing gas may be beneficial due to its unique physical properties, such as low density and high carbon dioxide (CO2) diffusion coefficient. In previous studies in neonates with respiratory failure, conventional ventilation with heliox was associated with improved oxygenation and selected respiratory parameters. The use of heliox may increase the effectiveness of intermittent nasal positive pressure ventilation (NIPPV), but knowledge about the effects of such therapy on newborns is limited.The use of non- invasive neurally adjusted ventilatory assist (NIV-NAVA) allows synchronization and assessment of electrical activity of the diaphragm (EaDI) during heliox administration in premature babies with respiratory failure.
The primary objective of the study aims to compare the effect of high-dose intravenous vitamin C vs. placebo on a composite of death or persistent organ dysfunction - defined as continued dependency on mechanical ventilation, new renal replacement therapy, or vasopressors - assessed at 28 days on intensive care unit (ICU) patients. As secondary objectives, the study aims: - To compare the effect of high-dose intravenous vitamin C vs. placebo on: 1. 6-month mortality; 2. 6-month HRQoL; 3. organ function (days 1, 2, 3, 4, 7, 10, 14, and 28 if in ICU); 4. global tissue dysoxia (at baseline); 5. oxygenation Index (FiO2 x Mean Airway Pressure/PaO2) (days 1, 2, 3, 4, 7, 10, 14, and 28 if in ICU, and if still intubated); 6. occurrence of stage 3 acute kidney injury as defined by KDIGO (Kidney Disease: Improving Global Outcomes) criteria20; 7. acute hemolysis as defined by: - clinician judgment of hemolysis, as recorded in the chart, or - hemoglobin drop of at least 25 g/L within 24 hours of a dose of investigational product PLUS 2 of the following: - reticulocyte count >2 times upper limit of normal at clinical site lab; - haptoglobin < lower limit of normal at clinical site lab; - indirect (unconjugated) bilirubin >2 times upper limit of normal at clinical site lab; - lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) >2 times upper limit of normal at clinical site lab. Severe hemolysis: - hemoglobin < 75 g/L AND at least 2 of the above criteria AND requires 2 units of packed red blood cells; 8. hypoglycemia as defined as core lab-validated glucose levels of less than < 3.8 mmol/L. - To assess baseline vitamin C levels in study participants (before the first dose of investigational product).
