Filter by:This is a phase 1/2a study including 2 parts, phase 1 and phase 2a. The phase 1 part is an open-label, single-arm, dose-escalating study to evaluate the safety and explore the dose limiting toxicity and maximum tolerated dose of a human umbilical cord derived mesenchymal stem cell product (BX-U001) in severe COVID-19 pneumonia patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). Qualified subjects after the screening will be divided into low, medium, or high dose groups to receive a single intravenous infusion of BX-U001 at the dose of 0.5×10^6, 1.0×10^6, or 1.5×10^6 cells/kg of body weight, respectively. The Phase 2a part is a randomized, placebo-controlled, double-blind clinical trial examining the safety and biological effects of BX-U001 at the appropriate dose selected from phase 1 for severe COVID-19 pneumonia patients with the same inclusion/exclusion criteria as the phase 1 part.
This is a research study to see how safe and effective decidual stromal cells are in treating patients with respiratory failure (breathing problem where not enough oxygen is passed from the lungs into the blood) caused by COVID-19.
Coronavirus disease 2019 (abbreviated "COVID- 19") is a pandemic respiratory disease that is caused by a novel coronavirus and was first detected in December 2019 in Wuhan, China. The disease is highly infectious, and its main clinical symptoms include fever, dry cough, fatigue, myalgia, and dyspnoea.1 In China, 18.5% of the patients with COVID-19 developed to the severe stage, which is characterized by acute respiratory distress syndrome, septic shock, difficult-to-tackle metabolic acidosis, and bleeding and coagulation dysfunction. After China, COVID-19 spread across the world and many governments implemented unprecedented measures like suspension of public transportation, the closing of public spaces, close management of communities, and isolation and care for infected people and suspected cases. The Malaysian government had enforced Movement Control Order (MCO) from 18th March to 4th May 2020 and henceforth Conditional Movement Control Order (CMCO) until 9th June 2020. The battle against COVID-19 is still continuing in Malaysia and all over the world. Due to the CMO and CMCO in the country, public and private universities have activated the e-learning mode for classes and as the government ordered, universities are closed and no face-to-face activities allowed. This has forced students of all disciplines including dentistry to stay at home which are wide-spread across Malaysia and shift to e- learning mode. To guarantee the final success for fight against COVID-19, regardless of their education status, students' adherence to these control measures are essential, which is largely affected by their knowledge, attitudes, and practices (KAP) towards COVID-19 in accordance with KAP theory. Once the restrictions are eased students have to come back and resume their clinical work in the campus. Hence, in this study we assessed the Knowledge, Attitude, and Practice (KAP) towards COVID-19 and the students preference for online learning.
This is an open label, dose escalating safety study of the advanced therapy investigational medicinal product (ATIMP) KI-MSC-PL-205, where patients diagnosed with SARS-CoV-2-induced severe acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), according to the Berlin Definition, and who are on respirator/ventilator (used synonymously in this protocol) support due to respiratory insufficiency with or without concomitant circulatory problems, will be included and treated with a single dose of KI-MSC-PL-205.
Central venous pressure (CVP) is characterized by a low-frequency pleural-dependent as well as a high-frequency cardiac pulsatile component. The aim of the study is to compare the low-frequency component of CVP with the esophageal pressure (Pes), as surrogate of pleural pressure, to estimate trans-pulmonary pressure (PL).
The aim of the study is to evaluate the safety, improvement of clinical symptoms and laboratory parameters of convalescent immune plasma treatment in severe Covid-19 patients with ARDS.
Positive expiratory pressure (PEP) breathing is common for treatment of different lung diseases and can increase lung volume and increase elimination of secretion from the airways. Today there is no evidence whether the treatment is effective or not for patients in the intensive care unit. The purpose of this study is to evaluate if PEP breathing can increase oxygenation for patients in the intensive care unit during weaning from the ventilator after acute respiratory distress syndrome. PEP breathing will be applied on the tracheal cannula for 15 minutes. Measure of the PEP effect will be done before, during and for 20 minutes after PEP breathing.
The primary aim of this study is to evaluate the effect of physical rehabilitation performed in intensive care unit on the range of joint motions and muscle strength of survivors following discharge from intensive care unit in patients with COVID-19. Secondary outcome is to assess the duration of mechanical ventilation, length of stay in intensive care unit and in hospital, and mortality rates during intensive care unit stay and health related quality of life following discharge in survivors. Until April 14 patients were provided all the intensive care managements except for rehabilitation and patients discharged before this time constituted the 'non-rehabilitation' group (n=17). Patients discharged after April 14 were provided rehabilitation in addition to usual intensive care unit care and constituted the study 'rehabilitation' group (n=18). Passive range of motion exercises to each joint and neuromuscular electrical stimulation to bilateral quadriceps and tibialis anterior muscles were applied 6 days/week in the 'rehabilitation' group during intensive care unit stay.
In pediatric patients (newborns and infants weighing less than 10 kg) undergoing cardiac surgery with extracorporeal circulation postoperative bleeding represents a known complication with a significant impact on outcome. Fresh frozen plasma (FFP) for bleeding management is associated, particularly in this kind of patients, to volume overload and a significative increase of Transfusion Related Acute Lung Injury (TRALI), further worsening the postoperative outcome. In the adult patient FFP employment could be almost completely canceled by administration of concentrated hemostatic components - the fibrinogen concentrate and prothrombin complex concentrate (PCC). We designed this phase II pilot study to establish whether an analogous strategy, modified accordingly to pediatric physiology, could be safely and successfully applied in newborns and infants.
This is a multicenter, randomized, double-blind, parallel group study to investigate the efficacy of pemziviptadil (PB1046) by improving the clinical outcomes in hospitalized COVID-19 patients at high risk for rapid clinical deterioration, acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) and death. The study will enroll approximately 210 hospitalized COVID-19 patients who require urgent decision-making and treatment at approximately 20 centers in the United States.
