Filter by:The purpose of this research study is to see if participants who have SARS-CoV-2 and low levels of AT3 in the blood will benefit by being given AT3.
Zinc and green tea supplementation have both been independently studied for supporting immune health during cold and flu-like illness in non-hospitalized patients with clinical trials demonstrating promising but inconsistent results. Combination therapy may offer an improved effect as the antioxidant compounds found in green tea have been shown to increase cellular zinc concentrations thereby inhibiting viral replication. This study seeks to evaluate the effect of combination supplementation using established doses of zinc and green tea extract on symptom duration and severity from cold and flu-like illness, including COVID-19, in adult community patients enrolled in a randomized placebo-controlled trial.
The primary objective of the study is to evaluate the safety and effect on clinical course of oral apabetalone in hospitalized subjects with Covid-19 infection
EU SolidAct is a randomized, multifactorial, adaptive platform trial for COVID-19 and emerging infectious diseases and pandemics. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effect of a range of interventions to improve outcome of patients admitted to hospital with COVID-19. The platform is designed for running phase 2 and phase 3 trials, and with modular data capture (end point/safety data, biobanking, add-on studies) depending on the capacity of participating sites. The study consists of two parts with different primary end points depending on disease stage: EU SolidAct part A includes hospitalized patients with moderate disease, whereas EU SolidAct part B includes hospitalized patients with severe and critical disease.
The Sona Saliva C-19 Rapid Test is a bioassay intended for rapid point-of-care detection of the SARS-CoV-2 virus. Performance of the Sona Saliva C-19 Rapid Test assay will be assessed by comparison to a RT-PCR reference method
Enterobacterales resistant to carbapenem are cause of severe concern in hospital-acquired infections since therapeutic options are limited. Recently approved drugs, such as bela-lactam/beta-lactamase inhibitor, have been the drug of choice. However, its use is limited in low- and middle-income countries. Thus, therapy of these infections mostly relies on polymyxins and other old drugs. The role of adjuvant carbapenem therapy in combination with polymyxins, aminoglycosides and other drugs is under investigation. From a pharmacokinetic/pharmacodynamic (PK/PD), there is an elevated probability that high-dose, extended infusion administered meropenem reach the PK/PD target of 40% above the minimal inhibitory concentration (MIC) of the pathogen when the MIC is 32mg/L or lower (non-susceptible isolates have MICs of 4mg/L or higher). However, the MIC is not routinely determined in clinical laboratories. In addition, high-level (above 32mg/L) resistance to carbapenems have been reported in many studies. This open-label, randomized clinical trial aim to assess if the addition of meropenem to the best available therapy can increase the number of days alive and free of hospitalization in patients with bloodstream infections by Enterobacterales with MIC of meropenem above 32mg/L.
The Investigators aim to study the outcomes of serious infections due to vancomycin susceptible infections in gram-positive organisms susceptible to vancomycin in people who use drugs (PWUD). The Investigators hypothesize, that a simplified 2-dose dalbavancin regimen, will improve compliance with antimicrobial therapy and that it may facilitate engagement in the treatment of the underlying substance use disorder, and particularly injection drug use - often the true etiology behind these severe infections.
The primary objective is to determine if polymerase chain reaction (PCR) (UTIP™) is more sensitive in identifying urinary tract infections (UTI's) than standard urine cultures.
This is a longitudinal, prospective observational study focusing on health-related outcomes relative to potential changes in the respiratory microbiome seen with weekly SARS-CoV-2 testing in nursing home residents.
