Filter by:this study evaluates the use of Kagocel for the prevention of acute respiratory viral infections (ARVI) and influenza during the epidemic rise in morbidity in Russia in the 2017-2018 season (epidemiology: number of cases during the period of taking Kagocel and follow-up, severity of the disease, bacterial exacerbations, number of repeated episodes (reinfection); patients demography; safety) in health care workers who are at risk.
A multi-centre Australian trial with four arms aims to evaluate several different immune modulating drugs for prevention and treatment of COVID-19 specifically in the cancer population. ARM 1 is evaluating the effect of interferon-alpha (vs placebo) on the incidence of COVID-19 infection in cancer patients with no COVID-19 infection or no known COVID-19 positive contacts. ARM 2 is evaluating the effect of interferon-alpha (vs placebo) on the incidence of COVID-19 infection in cancer patients with confirmed exposure to COVID-19 virus. ARM 3 is evaluating the effect of Selinexor (vs placebo) on the incidence of COVID-19 infection in cancer patients with moderate COVID-19 infection. ARM 4 is evaluating the effect of Lenzilumab (vs placebo) on the treatment of COVID-19 infection in cancer patients with severe COVID-19 infection. Participants may become eligible and transition to different arms and treatments if they become exposed to COVID-19 or are hospitalised with an active moderate/severe COVID-19 infection. It is hoped this research will provide insight into the best practice for prevention and treatment of COVID-19 in cancer patients as emerging standard of care measures are not always suitable to this especially vulnerable population.
This QI project seeks to evaluate the relative test sample acquisition throughput, personal protective equipment utilization, and relative operational costs of provider-administered COVID-19 (SARS-CoV-2) nasal samples with and with the use of HEPA-filtered, positive pressure isolation booths.
Parallel group, Wait-list design, with treatment delayed for 3 months. Participants will be randomized on a 1:1 ratio with 500 participants per group in Australia. Group 1: Wait-list control. One capsule OM85 (7.0 mg) will be given daily for 3 months, commencing in Month 3, with 3 months follow-up off treatment. Group 2: Initial treatment. One capsule OM85 (7.0 mg) will be given daily for 3 months, commencing on day 0, with 3 months follow-up off treatment.
The main goal of this research study is to use data from activity trackers (such as Fitbits), lab tests, and surveys to see if activity, sleep, and heart rate data can tell the difference between when someone has a respiratory illness (e.g., flu) and when they are feeling healthy. The research will also study an investigational flu@home test and app. If successful, results from the study could be used in the future to better identify people with respiratory illness. In addition, this study will test the accuracy of an at-home flu test kit compared to laboratory test results.
This study will evaluate a home-based approach to influenza infection control, using prepositioned home-based influenza self-test kits, telemedicine services, and rapid delivery of Xofluza (Baloxavir marboxil) for administration within 48 hours of symptom onset.
Respiratory Viral Infections (RVI) are particularly frequent in young children. Old data mention the deleterious role of some viruses such as the Respiratory Syncytial Virus in young children with cystic fibrosis (CF). However, recent epidemiological data on RVI in CF children are rare and the impact of most frequent viruses such as human rhinoviruses is usually not correctly evaluated. The aim of this study is to assess the frequency of lower and upper RVI during a 1 year follow-up in CF infants and to evaluate the impact of RVI at a clinical, microbiological and therapeutic level. Our hypothesis is that frequent and/or clinically severe RVIs have the worst impact in the short term and without any particular link with a specific virus as previously described.
A retrospective cohort of solid organ transplant (SOT) and hematopoietic stem cell transplant (HSCT) recipients will be assembled to determine the incidence of respiratory viral infections diagnosed during an inpatient admission in the first year post-transplant. A sub-cohort of patients that develop a respiratory viral infection within one year of transplantation will be leveraged to investigate factors associated with mortality in the three months after respiratory viral infection.
