Filter by:The primary objective of this study is to demonstrate (at the time of admission) biomarkers of interest (Human Plasma BAK125 panel + interferon panel) for dexamethasone responders versus non-responders in SARS-CoV-2 hypoxemic pneumonia. The secondary objectives are to describe and compare between groups: - The number of days without mechanical ventilation - The need for mechanical ventilation - 28-day mortality - Progression towards acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) - Change in the qSOFA score - Length of hospitalization - The change in the extent of lesions on thoracic computed tomography scan between inclusion and D7 (or the day of discharge from hospital if <D7) - Change in biomarkers on D0, D2, D4, D7 (NFS, liver tests (ASAT, ALAT), Creatinine, Albumin, CRP, D-dimers, Ferritin, LDH, lymphocyte phenotyping) - Demonstrate other biomarkers of interest from the usual management (NFS, liver function tests (ASAT, ALAT), Creatinine, Albumin, CRP, D-dimers, Ferritin, LDH, lymphocyte phenotyping) - Change in biomarkers evaluated by mass spectrometry (on a blood sample) on D0 and D7 +/- 2 days - The initial viral load (within 48 hours preceding D0) and at D7 of inclusion estimated from the nasopharyngeal SARS-CoV-2 RT-PCR - Initial SARS-CoV-2 serology and on D7 from inclusion - The A38G polymorphism of the gene coding for Club Cell Secretory Protein (CCSP) for each patient - Short-term complications related to corticosteroid therapy - The quantitative and qualitative impact of corticosteroid therapy on lymphocytes from patients with COVID-19.
This study will evaluate the efficacy and safety of siltuximab compared with normal saline in combination with standard of care (SOC) in selected hospitalized patients with COVID-19 previously treated with corticosteroids or another respiratory virus infection associated with acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) and elevated C-reactive protein (CRP) levels.
This is a randomized-controlled prospective study to be conducted at Danbury Hospital and Norwalk Hospital to evaluate oscillatory positive expiratory pressure (OPEP) devices for "airway clearance" (helping to clear out phlegm or mucous from your lungs and bronchial tubes) in the treatment of patients admitted to the hospital with pneumonia. Approximately 200 subjects are expected to participate in this study.
Respiratory infection with the SARS-CoV2 virus is associated with a major risk of viral pneumonia that can lead to respiratory distress requiring resuscitation. In the most severe forms, it may require a mechanical ventilation or even lead to an acute respiratory distress syndrome with a particularly poor prognosis. The SARS-CoV2 is a single-stranded RNA virus of positive polarity and belongs to the beta genus of Coronaviruses. SARS-CoV2 is responsible for the third epidemic in less than twenty years secondary to a Coronavirus (SARS-CoV then MERS-CoV) and if the mortality associated with it is lower than that of previous strains, particularly MERS-CoV (Middle East Respiratory Syndrome), its spread is considerably bigger. As a result, the number of patients developing respiratory distress that require an invasive mechanical ventilation is high, with prolonged ventilation duration in these situations.
Steroids has shown benefits in COVID19 patients in observational studies. We hypothesized that early use of corticosteroids, low dose, in mild disease, can decrease progression to respiratory failure and death.
This multi-center, open, randomized study will evaluate the efficacy and safety of BDB-001 injection in severe COVID-19 with severe pneumonia, or acute lung injury/acute respiratory distress syndrome. Patients will be randomized to two treatment arms (Arm A: Conventional treatment + BDB-001; Arm B: Conventional treatment alone).
This study will explore whether a daily supplement of glycine, a substance that has antiinflammatory, cytoprotective, and endothelium-protecting effects, can improve mortality, as well as clinical and biochemical parameters, in patients with severe COVID-19 who initiate mechanical ventilatory support.
This is a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, multicenter, 28-day study of adult participants hospitalized with COVID-19, with a safety follow-up telephone call at Day 60.
This phase II trial studies how well infliximab and intravenous immunoglobulin therapy work in treating patients with pneumonitis that does not respond to steroid treatment. Immunotherapy with monoclonal antibodies such as, infliximab, may induce changes in body's immune system and may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Intravenous immunoglobulin therapy may improve pneumonitis. It is not yet known whether giving infliximab and intravenous immunoglobulin therapy will work better in treating patients with pneumonitis.
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.
