Filter by: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.
Convalescent plasma (CP) has been used in recent years as an empirical treatment strategy when there is no vaccine or treatment available for infectious diseases. In the latest viral epidemics, such as the Ebola outbreak in West Africa in 2014, the World Health Organization issued a document outlining a protocol for the use of whole blood or plasma collected from patients who have recovered from the Ebola virus disease by transfusion to empirically treat local infectious outbreaks

This study aims to 1) observe the course of pain, 2) mental status, and 3) possible effect of a behavioral intervention delivered via an automated mobile phone messaging robot in patients were indicated and/or scheduled to undergo joint replacement but have been cancelled or delayed due to the COVID-19 crisis.
Coronavirus 2019 (COVID-19) is a respiratory tropism virus transmitted through droplets emitted into the environment of infected persons. The symptoms can be extremely varied and the course can range from spontaneous healing without sequelae to death. Currently, the diagnosis of certainty for resuscitation patients (by definition "severe") is based on searching for a fragment of virus genetic material within the epithelial cells of the respiratory tree, up and/or down, by PCR. It is to be expected that the epidemic peak will make it difficult (if not impossible) to respect the stereotypical path that is currently in place, due to the lack of space in the specific unit. This will require optimization of care pathways and use of the specific sectors. It is therefore necessary to define the simple criteria, available from the moment patients are admitted, to predict the result of the COVID-19 PCR.
COVID-19 (Coronavirus Disease-2019) is a life-threatening infectious disease caused by the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) that appeared in December 2019 in the Wuhan district. COVID-19 has since affected more than 150 countries across the world and especially France. The first epidemiological data, mostly from Chinese studies, indicate that diabetes is one of the most common comorbidities, with high blood pressure, in patients with COVID-19. Moreover, the presence of diabetes at admission would be a risk factor for both ICU hospitalization and death. Nevertheless, specific data on people with diabetes and COVID-19 are fragmentary, justifying the achievement of a dedicated prospective observational study. The French nationwide CORONADO study aims to specifically describe the phenotypic characteristics of patients with diabetes admitted to hospital with COVID-19 infection. Particular attention will be devoted to glycemic control at admission (i.e. the level of HbA1c), the diabetic complications, as well as anti-diabetic and antihypertensive therapies. This study will provide answers to caregivers and patients with diabetes regarding the risk factors related to diabetes for COVID-19 prognosis. This pilot study will be used for the development of new studies and for the establishment of recommendations for the cost of care in patients with diabetes and COVID-19.
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).
ACT is a randomized clinical trial to assess therapies to reduce the clinical progression of COVID-19.
PRIORITY (Pregnancy CoRonavIrus Outcomes RegIsTrY) is a prospective cohort study of pregnant and recently pregnant women who are: either patients under investigation for COVID-19 or a confirmed case of COVID-19. Data from PRIORITY will be used to evaluate the impact of COVID-19 on the clinical course and pregnancy outcomes of pregnant women and women within 6 weeks of pregnancy.
