Filter by:Ibuprofen is one of several common medications implicated in coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) severity. On March 11, the Lancet Respiratory Medicine published a letter stating ibuprofen can increase angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE2) expression. On March 14, the French Minister of Health tweeted that ibuprofen should be avoided because it will aggravate COVID-19. This concern was echoed by scientists and senior doctors in the British Medical Journal news on March 17. In response, the World Health Organization (WHO) issued a recommendation on March 18 to avoid ibuprofen in people with symptoms of COVID-19. However, the WHO reversed this recommendation the next day because of insufficient evidence. Health Canada issued a safety alert on March 20 stating there was no evidence that ibuprofen worsens COVID-19 symptoms. There is some evidence suggesting NSAID use (primarily ibuprofen) can increase severity of community acquired bacterial pneumonia in hospitalized children and adults. However, we do not know if ibuprofen use alters the course of COVID-19. Ibuprofen is an effective analgesic and antipyretic medication. People often use over-the-counter cough and cold products containing ibuprofen to manage symptoms of a respiratory tract infection before they seek medical attention. Therefore, exposure to ibuprofen is highly probable in people with COVID-19 symptoms. Patients, clinicians, and policy makers need to know if ibuprofen is safe to use in management of COVID-19 symptoms. This case-control study will explore the association between common medications and COVID-19 severity in a cohort of people tested for SARS-CoV-2 infection.
This is a multi-center, prospective registry study of subjects undergoing hemodialysis for treatment of end-stage renal disease in a DaVita center. The objective of this study is to understand whether and to what degree anti-SARS-CoV-2 antibodies mitigate the risk of subsequent SARS-CoV-2 infection and COVID disease within the ESKD population.
COVID-19 is the pandemic disease caused by the SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus. It is a highly contagious viral disease, the condition of which main clinical symptoms are characterized by fever and respiratory symptoms. Evidence indicates to worse outcomes in patients with pre-existing diseases, such as diabetes, arterial hypertension, heart disease, pneumopathies, chronic kidney disease, and immunodeficiencies. Recipients of kidney transplants make prolonged use of immunosuppressive drugs to inhibit the acquired immune response, notably the activity of lymphocytes. Due to this potential to modulate the immune and inflammatory response, it is speculated that the clinical and laboratory condition of COVID-19 in these patients is atypical. Preliminary evidence suggests worse outcomes of COVID-19 in immunosuppressed patients, as carriers of cancer. However, information on kidney transplant recipients is insufficient. So far, only reports of the case are available in the literature with different clinical presentations and outcomes. The aim of this study is, therefore, to characterize the demographics, clinical and laboratory conditions, and the outcomes of COVID-19 in kidney transplant recipients in a national multicenter cohort.
Non-commercial depersonalized multi-centered registry study on analysis of chronic non-infectious diseases dynamics after SARS-CoV-2 infection in adults.
The innovative drug XC221 100 mg tablet is designed for the treatment of COVID-19 (SARS-CoV-2 infection). A multicenter, adaptive, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled Phase III clinical study is aimed to assess the efficacy and safety of XC221 100 mg tablet, in COVID-19 patients during a 14-day treatment. The primary objective of the study is to demonstrate the efficacy of XC221 100 mg tablet (200 mg daily dose) in achieving clinical improvement of COVID-19 symptoms. The secondary objective of the study is to evaluate the safety of XC221 100 mg tablet (200 mg daily dose) in COVID-19 patients.
Double blind, Multi-Centre study to evaluate the safety, reactogenicity, tolerability, and immunogenicity of three investigational vaccine groups and one placebo group in healthy volunteers who receive two intramuscular doses of BBV152 vaccine formulations and placebo. A total sample size of 755 healthy volunteers, with 375 and 380 volunteers in phase 1 and 2 studies, respectively. A protocol amendment was made to evaluate a boosting regimen at the 6-month interval in the Phase 2 trial. At 6 months post-dose 2, participants who received the 6ug Algel-IMDG allocation were randomized equally to receive a third dose of BBV152 (6ug Algel-IMDG) or placebo.
The objective of the study is to determine the percentage of past SARS-CoV-2 infections in hospital health personnel involved in the care of people with COVID-19 in HUGTiP and in Badalona Serveis Assistencials de Badalona.
SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), has negatively impacted global health and requires more research to develop better tests and to improve disease treatment. The purpose of this research is to aid in the testing effort by collecting samples from people who have been diagnosed with COVID-19 or are suspected of having COVID-19. Samples you provide will be used investigationally by INanoBio to develop a test to determine when antibodies against various SARS-CoV-2 proteins are detectable. Up to approximately 80 subjects of all ages with either a suspected or lab-confirmed diagnosis of COVID-19 will take part in this research.
Bacille Calmette-Guerin (BCG) is a live attenuated vaccine administered for prevention of tuberculosis. Recently, several groups have hypothesized that BCG may "train" the immune system to respond to a variety of unrelated infections, including viruses and in particular the coronavirus responsible for COVID-19. Trials are currently being conducted in Australia, Netherlands, Germany and the United Kingdom to evaluate its effectiveness. Front line workers includes members of municipal and provincial police services, emergency medical personnel, firefighters, public transport employees, health service workers and food manufacturing employees. They are at high risk of infection from COVID-19, with potentially high infection rate. The investigators propose an interventional trial to evaluate the effectiveness of BCG vaccination to prevent COVID-19 infection and reduce its severity in front-line employees in Ontario.
Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is a respiratory tract infection caused by a newly emergent coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2) that can progress to severe disease requiring hospitalization and oxygen support in around14% of the cases and 5% require admission in intensive care unit. The medium and long-term impact in survivors of severe COVID-19 on lung function, exercise capacity and health-related quality of life remains to be determined.
