Filter by:Novel Corona Virus (SARS-CoV-2) is known to cause Respiratory Failure, which is the hallmark of Acute COVID-19, as defined by the new NIH/FDA classification. Approximately 50% of those who develop Critical COVID-19 die, despite intensive care and mechanical ventilation. Patients with Critical COVID-19 and respiratory failure, currently treated with high flow nasal oxygen, non-invasive ventilation or mechanical ventilation will be treated with ZYESAMI (aviptadil), a synthetic form of Human Vasoactive Intestinal Polypeptide (VIP) plus maximal intensive care vs. placebo + maximal intensive care. Patients will be randomized to intravenous Aviptadil will receive escalating doses from 50 -150 pmol/kg/hr over 12 hours.
This is a multi-center, double-blinded study of COVID-19 infected patients randomized 1:1 to daily losartan or placebo for 10 days or treatment failure (hospital admission).
Study Objective: 1. To test if post-exposure prophylaxis with hydroxychloroquine can prevent symptomatic COVID-19 disease after known exposure to the SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus. 2. To test if early preemptive hydroxychloroquine therapy can prevent disease progression in persons with known symptomatic COVID-19 disease, decreasing hospitalizations and symptom severity.
The scientific community is in search for novel therapies that can help to face the ongoing epidemics of novel Coronavirus (SARS-Cov-2) originated in China in December 2019. At present, there are no proven interventions to prevent progression of the disease. Some preliminary data on SARS pneumonia suggest that inhaled Nitric Oxide (NO) could have beneficial effects on SARS-CoV-2 due to the genomic similarities between this two coronaviruses. In this study we will test whether inhaled NO therapy prevents progression in patients with mild to moderate COVID-19 disease.
This project aims to develop software models describing how critically ill patients respond to changes in their treatment whilst admitted to an Intensive Care Unit (ICU). We will use high performance computers to fit software models to the physiological and treatment data of patients receiving mechanical ventilation.
Acute lung injury (ALI) following cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) is a serious complication, often prolonging the length of stay in ICU and potentially dealing to mortality. The objective of this study is to assess the mechanism of CPB-mediated acute lung injury in pediatric patients.
Prospective multi-center phase 2b randomized placebo-controlled double-blinded interventional platform trial of two different pharmacologic therapies (intravenous Vitamin C or intravenous Acetaminophen) for patients with sepsis-induced hypotension or respiratory failure.
To assess whether stepwise oxygenation-guided lung recruitment at regular intervals reduces the oxygen saturation index (OSI = Mean Airway Pressure × Fraction of inspired Oxygen × 100 / peripheral Oxygen Saturation, OSI = MAPxFiO2x100/SpO2) averaged over high frequency oscillation ventilation (HFOV) time in extremely preterm infants.
The main objective of the study is to assess the feasibility, safety, and tolerability of the administration of HCR040, a drug whose active substance is HC016, allogeneic adipose-derived adult mesenchymal stem cells expanded and pulsed with H2O2, in patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome.
Patients suffering from Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome (ARDS) with a prone position (PP) indication will benefit from measurements of radiological and biological kidney injury markers, intra-abdominal pressure (IAP) and ventilatory mechanics in supine position (baseline IAP), after 2 hours in PP at the current IAP value, thirty minutes after patients' abdomen suspension in order to resume baseline IAP and after patients' are turned back to supine position.
