Filter by:Background - A novel coronavirus, severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), was first identified in December 2019 as the cause of a respiratory illness COVID-19 in Wuhan City, China. WHO declared a public health emergency outbreak of this virus on 30 January 2020 and declared COVID-19 a global pandemic on 11 March, 2020. Bangladesh reported its first case on March 8, 2020 and first fatality on April 1, 2020. Bangladesh had shown a staggered course of COVID-19 transmission initially but a surge in cases was observed from April, 2020. Remdesivir remains as the only potential therapy for the treatment of COVID-19 till date. Based on several pre-clinical studies in SARS-CoV and MERS-CoV infections, Animal trials in COVID-19 and data from human trials, this randomized, controlled, open label trial will evaluate the antiviral activity and safety of Remdesivir in Bangladeshi hospitalized patients with severe COVID-19. This study finding will provide knowledge if Remdesivir is effective enough to treat Bangladeshi COVID-19 hospitalized patients with adequate safety and tolerability. The result of this study will help the key opinion leaders regarding the matter, to take appropriate decision regarding usage of Remdesivir for the treatment of COVID-19 in Bangladesh. Study Procedure - All patients will receive the standard medical care for COVID-19+ve at the respective hospitals. Vital signs will be recorded every 24 hrs for 1st 5 days then once in 2 days till discharge or as per the discretion of the attending physicians. After screening the COVID-19 confirmed patients will be randomized into 2 treatment arms. Patient's safety assessment e. g. blood parameters (CBC, Creatinine, SGPT, RBS, Creatinine, Creatinine Clearance) will be done on screening, day 5 and day 14 or discharge; Chest X-ray and ECG on screening and day 14 or discharge. SARS-CoV-2 (viral load) will be looked in on day 5, day 10 and day 14 or at the time of discharge. In case any study patient deteriorates during the study period will be managed as per the guideline of that particular hospital and if needed will be shifted to ICU. Patients who will recover will be discharged as per the national guideline for the COVID-19 hospitalized patients. Patients will be contacted at 28 days either over phone or in person to get their health status since discharge.
The overall goal of this study is to understand the immune response (IgG) to SARS-CoV-2 to fill critical knowledge gaps in the natural history of this virus and to inform the development of future infection mitigation efforts. The study team aims to assess the prevalence of circulating IgG antibodies to SARS-CoV-2 and the factors associated with sero-prevalence. These data will be used to estimate the total population that has been exposed to the virus (asymptomatic and symptomatic), the proportion of the population that may be protected by natural immunity, and the proportion that is susceptible. Data obtained from this research will be shared with the Florida Department of Health.
This is a double blind randomized placebo controlled study will be conducted on 124 subjects, 50 years and older with mild or asymptomatic COVID-19. If symptomatic, symptoms are mild (cough, weakness, sore throat, low grade fever 38.50С, respiratory rate should not be more than 22 / min, resting SpO2 >95%, normal highly sensitive C-reactive protein (HS-CRP) (<10mg/L). There are no signs of dehydration, sepsis or shortness of breath. The study will be conducted at two centers. There will be a screening visit at Day -4 followed by three visits at the center at Days 1, 7 and 15 and a follow-up visit on Day 28. All participants will be randomized to receive either ViraCide (investigational product) or matching placebo. All subjects will receive SOC therapy. Note: If subject is discharged before Day 15 PI's discretion as per patients health condition, then assessments scheduled for Day 15 will be carried out on the discharge day (as far as possible and those not performed will be noted on appropriate CRF page) and Day 15 visit will be done telephonically.
The purpose of this Phase 2a, randomized, blinded, placebo-controlled, multi-center study is to evaluate the safety, tolerability and immunogenicity of INO-4700 administered by intradermal (ID) injection followed by electroporation (EP) using the CELLECTRA™ 2000 device in healthy adult volunteers for Middle East Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus (MERS-CoV) infection. This study is divided into 2 parts: Part 1- dose finding stage and Part 2- dose expansion stage.
The primary objectives of this study are: - To determine the proportion of children with Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) related death, rehospitalization or major complications after infection with SARS-CoV-2 and/or Multisystem Inflammatory Syndrome in Children (MIS-C), and - To determine immunologic mechanisms and immune signatures associated with disease spectrum and subsequent clinical course during the year of follow-up.
Coronavirus disease is of an urgent global priority. The purpose of ImmuneSense™ COVID-19 study is to evaluate the clinical performance and to provide data for clinical validation for the T-Detect™ SARS-CoV-2 (previously referred to as immunoSEQ Dx SARS-CoV-2) Assay in support of Adaptive's Emergency Use Authorization (EUA) request for T-Detect™ SARS-CoV-2 and secondary aims. This assay is intended to detect immune response to the virus that causes coronavirus disease (COVID-19), SARS-CoV-2. This is critically important because the immune system may be able to tell us important information about how our own bodies detect and respond to the disease that current tests cannot.
This is a phase I/II clinical trial using adoptive cell therapy with NK cells or memory T cells in patients affected by COVID-19. Severe cases with COVID-19 present a dysregulated immune system with T cell lymphopenia, specially NK cells and memory T cells, and a hyper-inflammatory state. This clinical trial proposes the use of cell therapy for the treatment of patients with worse prognosis due to SARS-CoV-2 infection (those with pneumonia and/or lymphopenia). This is an innovative and a non-pharmacological intervention.
This pilot study will assess the safety and effectiveness of UV light treatment in hospitalized patients with COVID-19.
Testing use of predictive analytics to predict which COVID-19+ patients are at low risk for an adverse event (ICU transfer, intubation, mortality, hospice discharge, re-presentation to the ED, oxygen requirements exceeding nasal cannula at 6L/Min) in the next 96 hours
There is an urgent need to evaluate effective treatments for COVID-19 patients. Melatonin has significant anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties and it lacks of side-effects. This randomized controlled trial seeks to evaluate the efficacy of intravenous melatonin in reducing mortality in Covid-19 patients in the ICUs.
