Filter by:Group 1 (BBV154): In this group, 3000 participants will be recruited, randomized in 1:1:1 ratio receive 3 consecutive lots (Lot 1: 1000, Lot 2: 1000, Lot 3: 1000) of the BBV154 vaccine (0.5 mL each dose) on day 0 and day 28 via intranasal route. Group 2 (COVAXIN®): In this group, 160 participants will be recruited and administered with COVAXIN® vaccine on day 0 and on day 28 via intramuscular route. A total sample size of 3160 healthy volunteer's age's ≥18 years will be recruited in this study. BBV154-Subjects- Part 1 ( Immunogenicity Group)- First 640 Subjects BBV154-Subjects- Part 2 ( Safety Group)- (Remaining 2520 subjects) Visit 1: Baseline (Day 0) Visit 2 (Day 28+2) Visit 3 (Day 42 ± 7 days) Visit 4 (Day 90 ± 7 days) and Visit 5 (Day 180± 7 days)
The purpose of this retrospective study is to evaluate the effectiveness of CPM nasal spray as part of the treatment of COVID-19 and its impact on clinical symptoms. Two cohort groups will be compared (CPM vs. standard care). The hypothesis to be tested is that patients treated with CPM nasal spray showed more rapid clinical improvement than those treated with standard of care alone. Clinical improvement will be evaluated by the total number of days with the manifestation of COVID-19 symptoms, including cough, nasal congestion, ageusia, and anosmia, among others. The rate of hospitalization between the cohorts will also be evaluated.
This study is designed to test whether QBKPN SSI can improve immune function in older adults, including how well it can protect against respiratory and other infections, whether it improves the body's response to COVID-19 vaccines and what effect it has on maintaining or improving quality of life, activity level and health status. QBKPN is a new medication in a class known as Site-Specific Immunomodulators (SSI). SSIs are designed to train and/or improve innate immune function to reduce the risk of infections, improve immune response to cancer, and slow the progression of chronic inflammatory diseases. It is believed that QBKPN SSI can work with the immune system to help protect against respiratory and other infections.
The purpose of this study is to investigate the effects of a training program in patients that have suffered a COVID infection
Purpose of the study: to analyze the interlinks between serum 25(OH)D level and severity of new coronavirus infection (COVID-19) in hospitalized patients, as well as the effect of adding colecaciferol to standard therapy for patients in the acute period of the disease. The study will involve at least 300 hospitalized patients with confirmed COVID-19. All study participants will be twice assessed for serum 25 (OH) D levels: baseline and 8-10 days of hospitalization. Following a baseline examination, patients will be randomized into 2 groups. Group I (No. 1), vitamin D therapy begins with a dosage of 50,000 IU in the first and second weeks. Group II (No. 2), vitamin D therapy is prescribed at a dosage of 2000 IU / day. On 8-10 days of vitamin D supplementation, all participants will be retested for serum 25 (OH) D levels to assess the effectiveness of therapy. On 14-21 days we assessed severity of the course, ICU hospitalization, duration of hospitalization, outcome of the disease, duration of glucocorticoid therapy, the need for specific therapy (inhibitors IL-6), changes in cytokine/chemokine, APPs concentration.
Reducing inappropriate antibiotic use is a key strategy to mitigate antibiotic resistance and adverse health effects associated with antibiotic exposure. The Broad Implementation of Outpatient Stewardship (BIOS) project focuses on broadly implementing an evidence-based intervention to improve antibiotic prescribing for acute respiratory tract infections in pediatric outpatient settings. Primary aims include: (1) examining the acceptability, feasibility and utility of a focused implementation strategy on improving intervention adoption and impact and (2) measuring the effectiveness of the intervention to reduce unnecessary broad-spectrum antibiotic prescription.
Last Mile Health (LMH) has partnered with the Liberian Ministry of Health (MOH) to support the design and implementation of the National Community Health Assistant Program (NCHAP). In collaboration with MOH, LMH is planning to conduct an impact evaluation in Grand Bassa to assess the effect of the National Community Health Assistant Program (NCHAP) on health outcomes, as well as to learn lessons around program operations and implementation. Our central hypothesis is that Community Health Assistants (CHAs) within the NCHAP will reduce under 5 mortality, as a result of expanding access to and uptake of health care utilization in remote communities. We will use a mixed effects discrete survival model, taking advantage of the staggered program implementation in Grand Bassa districts over a period of 4 years to compare the incidence of under-5 child mortality between the pre- and post-CHW program implementation periods.
The coronavirus disease of 2019 (COVID-19) has affected over 2.4 million individuals worldwide and has resulted in >171,000 deaths. Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is an important contributor to death in these patients. Those who develop cardiac injury during infection have a 4-fold increased risk of death. Furthermore, pre-existing CVD or cardiovascular risk factors (e.g. diabetes, hypertension) are associated with worse outcomes. Given the recent emergence of this disease, there is limited understanding of: (i) the risk factors for cardiovascular events, (ii) blood biomarkers for early recognition, and drug targeting, of patients at risk of adverse outcomes, and (iii) the short term subclinical and clinical cardiovascular manifestations in those who survive to discharge.
An observation study evaluating physiologic responses and host biomarker expression patterns in early SARS-CoV-2 and acute respiratory infections (ARI) and among their close contacts.
This is a Phase 1/2 study in patients with a Recurrent Respiratory Papillomatosis (RRP) disease burden that requires repeated surgical procedures for management. RRP is a rare disease caused by the human papillomavirus (HPV). Participants with a pathologically confirmed diagnosis of papilloma and a clinical diagnosis of RRP will be screened for this protocol.
