Filter by:Our goal is to assess the effects of Tadalafil in the setting of confirmed COVID-19 pneumonia. In particular we plan to assess its effects on oxygen saturation, P:F ratio, and mixed central venous oxygen We plan to recruit all hospitalized patients at Santa Barbara Cottage Hospital with a confirmed COVID19 pneumonia (positive PCR + clinical signs/symptoms of lower respiratory disease) who meet the Berlin definition of ARDS and have access to measure a mixed venous oxygen saturation. For the purposes of obtaining mixed central venous oxygen, all participating patients will already have an internal jugular central venous catheter in place for inclusion in this study. Since all patients will be intubated, their Legally Authorized Representative (LAR) will be approached to discuss the study and asked to participate in the study by an ICU physician, either the attending physician or a medical resident. Informed consent will be obtained from the LAR by an ICU attending physician or resident involved in the study prior to participation. Patients who meet the above eligibility criteria will have baseline levels of mixed central venous oxygen, oxygen saturation, P:F ratio, blood pressure and PaO2 recorded. Each patient will then receive Tadalafil 40mg once. The above listed parameters will be monitored again 30 minutes after drug administration and 4 hours after drug administration. No other medication or ventilator changes will be made during this time period outside of emergent changes in the setting of patient deterioration. We will continue to analyze the data in the event of emergent ventilator changes.
Multicenter, double blind, randomized clinical trial for high-risk patients over 18 years of age, symptomatic for COVID-19 infection, without any severity criteria
Patients with COVID-19 have special demographic characteristics including thromboembolic risk factors . The pharmacokinetics of enoxaparin administered subcutaneously in the intensive care unit patient are not described. Finally, given the lack of knowledge on the pharmacokinetic/pharmacodynamic properties of enoxaparin in intensive care unit patients infected with SARS-CoV-2, we propose to conduct a prospective multicenter cohort study to collect the biological data necessary for its study.
This study assesses the clinical effectiveness of mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) inhibition with rapamycin in minimizing or decreasing the severity of acute lung injury/acute respiratory distress syndrome (ALI/ARDS) in participants infected with mild to moderate COVID-19 virus.
The study was not opened.
This is a Phase I open-label interventional study which will test the efficacy of ResCure™ in the treatment of patients with COVID-19 infection.
This study is being done to see if hydroxychloroquine is an effective treatment for COVID-19.
No optimal antiviral intervention has been yet validated to treat COVID-19 disease. Comorbidities, such as older age, obesity, diabetes, history of cardiovascular diseases are associated with poor prognosis. This study aims to evaluate the efficacy of two experimental antiviral treatments, compared to standard of care (SOC), to prevent clinical worsening, hospitalization or death at day 14 in adults with documented SARS-CoV-2 infection, asymptomatic or with symptoms lasting less than 8 days, and associated comorbidities without any severity criteria of the disease at inclusion. Participants will be randomized to receive SOC alone or SOC + hydroxychloroquine 200 mg three times a day during 10 days or SOC + association of niclosamide 2 g at J1 then 500 mg two times a day with diltiazem 60 mg three times a day during 10 days. Efficacy and tolerance of each treatments will be compared across the three treatment groups during the 28 days of follow-up.
Assessment of the Efficacy and Safety of Hydroxychloroquine (HCQ) Administered as a Prophylaxis for Health Professionals Exposed to COVID19 and Working in Medical Intensive Care Units, in Tunisia. Multicentric, Randomized Comparative Study
Background: Aim: To demonstrate the efficacy of low-dose hydroxychloroquine as primary prevention in healthcare workers Design, participants and interventions: Prospective, randomized, parallel group, double-blinded, placebo controlled, study. including 440 participants who will be randomised to 2 treatment arms: hydroxychloroquine or placebo. Outcome variables: symptomatic or asymptomatic SARS-CoV-2 infection confirmed by PCR, viral load during SARS-CoV-2 infection, seroconversion during the study period, incidence of any acute respiratory infection, days of sick leave. Statistical considerations: No trials have been published investigating the efficacy of HCQ as primary prophylaxis of SARS-CoV-2 infection in health care workers. Thus, sample size calculations in the proposed trial are based on the investigators' best estimates for several parameters. In accordance to the effect of oseltamivir against symptomatic influenza, we assumed an approximate effectiveness of approximately 60% (HR of 0.4) (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6464969/) as realistic. As a prophylactic intervention with HCQ, which may have side effects and for which supply shortage can be expected, was judged justifiable only if its effectiveness is high, we based our sample size consideration on a HR of 0.3. To estimate the probability of an event in both the experimental and the control group, very little data is available. In a Dutch point-prevalence study 0-10% of health-care workers were infected depending on the healthcare institution, depending on the hospital. This point-prevalence study was performed between 6 and 9 March, when the reported number of cases in the Netherlands was 33 and 77, respectively, according to the RIVM (https://www.rivm.nl/nieuws/resultaat-steekproef-4-ziekenhuismedewerkers-heeft-coronavirus). Additionally, in an a report published in the Lancet, 20% of responding healthcare workers in Italy were found to be infected with SARS-CoV2 within less than one month (https://www.thelancet.com/journals/lancet/article/PIIS0140-6736(20)30627-9/fulltext). Several media reports indicate that this proportion is similar across various healthcare institutions and countries (https://www.nytimes.com/2020/03/24/world/europe/coronavirus-europe-covid-19.html) and (https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2020/03/spain-tightens-restrictions-week-lockdown-begins-2003 30191539568.html). As the proposed study will be performed in a high-risk setting, we assumed an event (i.e. PCR positivity) probability of 10% in the control group and 3% in the experimental arm after the maximum study period. In summary, a sample size of 210 participants per arm is necessary to detect a HR of 0.3 with a power of 80.3% with an alpha-error of 0.05. To account for drop-outs and asymptomatic, undetected infection at inclusion or past infection with existing immunity, an additional 10 participants will randomized per treatment arm. The overall study population is therefore 440 participants. Statistical analysis will be based on two populations: A Modified Intention to Treat population excluding those who withdrew consent after randomization and those with a positive serology at baseline. And a per protocol population including all randomized subjects who completed at least 3 out of 4 follow-up visits and took at least 80% of all doses of study medication.
