Filter by:This study aims to collect convalescent plasma and use it as experimental treatment in critically ill Covid-19 patients in order to reduce mortality and length of stay in intensive care unit.
The Malaysian COVID-19 Anosmia Study is a nationwide multicentre observational study to investigate the prevalence and characteristics of olfactory and gustatory/taste disturbances in COVID-19 infection in Malaysia, and to evaluate the predictive value of screening for these symptoms in COVID-19 infection. This study consists of two phases: the first phase is a cross-sectional study and the second phase is a case-control study. The cross-sectional study is described here (the case-control study is described in a separate ClinicalTrials.gov record).
Severe COVID-19 patients at a high risk of venous thromboembolism. We studied patients in 2 intensive care units of university hospitals in Barcelona and Badalona, Spain. We performed a cut-off screening of deep venous thrombosis (DVT) with bilateral duplex ultrasound to 230 patients.
This is a double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled, phase IIb clinical trial to assess the efficacy of injectable methylprednisolone sodium succinate (MP) in patients with severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) in COVID-19 infection. A total of 416 individuals of both sexes, aged over 18 years old, with symptoms suggestive or confirmed diagnosis of severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS), hospitalized at the Hospital and Pronto-Socorro Delphina Rinaldi Abdel Aziz (HPSDRAA), with clinical and radiological findings suggestive of SARS-CoV2 infection, will be randomized at a 1:1 ration to receive either MP (0.5mg/kg of weight, twice daily, for 5 days) or placebo (saline solution, twice daily, for 5 days).
This is a double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled clinical trial. A total of 210 individuals aged over 18 years old, without a diagnosis of severe respiratory disease, who came to the study site with clinical and radiological suspicion of SARS-CoV2, will be randomized into two treatment groups at a 1:1 ratio to receive a 5-day CQ diphosphate tablets or placebo (tablet without active ingredient produced with the same physical characteristics).
The purpose of this research is to identify whether or not Angiotensin Receptor Blockers (ARB) can halt the progression to respiratory failure requiring transfer into the intensive care unit (ICU), as well as halt mechanical ventilation in subjects with mild to moderate hypoxia due to the corona virus that causes COVID-19. Based on previous animal studies, the researchers hypothesize that the addition of an ARB is beneficial in abating acute lung injury in subjects in early stages of SARS-CoV-2 viral induced hypoxia.
ORCHID is a multicenter, blinded, placebo-controlled, randomized clinical trial evaluating hydroxychloroquine for the treatment of adults hospitalized with COVID-19. Patients, treating clinicians, and study personnel will all be blinded to study group assignment.
This study is a interventional study that present minimal risks and constraints to evaluate the presence of novel coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2) or antibodies among individuals living in households where there is a confirmed coronavirus case in order to provide useful information on the proportion of symptomatic forms and the extent of the virus transmission in tropical regions such as French Guiana, Guadeloupe and New-Caledonia.
Minimal risk research study: 1. Comparing polyester nasal swabs and foam nasal swabs to detect SARS-CoV-2 virus; 2. Quantifying the development and trajectory of the disease through clinic visits and blood values.
In December 2019 in the city of Wuhan in China, a series of patients with unclear pneumonia was noticed, some of whom have died of it. In virological analyses of samples from the patients' deep respiratory tract, a novel coronavirus was isolated (SARS-CoV-2). The disease spread rapidly in the city of Wuhan at the beginning of 2020 and soon beyond in China and, in the coming weeks, around the world. Initial studies described numerous severe courses, particularly those associated with increased patient age and previous cardiovascular, metabolic and respiratory diseases. A small number of the particularly severely ill patients required not only highly invasive ventilation therapy but also extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (vv-ECMO) to supply the patient's blood with sufficient oxygen. Even under maximum intensive care treatment, a very high mortality rate of approximately 80-100% was observed in this patient group. In addition, high levels of interleukin-6 (IL-6) could be detected in the blood of these severely ill patients, which in turn were associated with poor outcome. From experience in the therapy of severely ill patients with severe infections and respiratory failure, we know that treatment with a CytoSorb® adsorber can lead to a reduction of the circulating pro- and anti-inflammatory cytokines and thus improve the course of the disease and the outcome of the patients. Our primary goal is to investigate the efficacy of treatment with a CytoSorb® adsorber in patients with severe COVID-19 disease requiring venous ECMO over 72 hours after initiation of ECMO. The primary endpoint is the reduction of plasma interleukin-6 levels 72 hours after initiation of ECMO support. As secondary endpoints we investigate 30-day survival, vasopressor and volume requirements, lactate in terms of lactate and platelet function. As safety variables, we further investigate the levels of the applied antibiotics (usually ampicillin and sulbactam).
