Filter by:The protocol, in accordance with the objectives of ORCHESTRA project - Work Package 2, aims at investigating the characteristics and determinants of COVID-19 long-term sequelae. This goal will be reached through the harmonization of follow-up strategies across the participating cohorts to allow a standardized collection of data on COVID-19 long-term sequelae. The result will be a platform including a set of data and biomaterials from large scale international cohorts, that will be uniformly recorded, prospectively tracked and analysed. The ultimate goal will be that of providing evidence to contribute to the optimization and improvement of the management and prevention of COVID-19 sequelae. The follow-up will be organized in multiple levels of tests, according to the capability of each cohort, and will include questionnaires to collect demographic, epidemiological and clinical data, physical examination, radiological exams and biological sampling. The long-term follow-up will also allow the assessment of long-term immunological response to SARS-CoV-2 infection and its association to the vaccination and to different treatment strategies, including monoclonal antibodies.
The aim of the COVAG study (Covid-19 Antigen study) is to assess the diagnostic efficacy of two of the most used rapid antigen tests (Roche & Abbott). The study will be performed at the Corona Test Center Stuttgart Cannstatter Wasen. Approximately 2000 patients will be enrolled after having signed the Informed Consent Form (ICF). Each patient will receive 3 nasopharyngeal swabs. Two for the rapid antigen tests from Roche and Abbott and one for the RT-PCR. Furthermore an anamnesis, short clinical examination and blood draw is done. The blood is examined for SARS-CoV-2 antibodies and basic laboratory tests to be communicated to participants.
This trial consists of three parts, Part A, Part B, and Part C, and will evaluate the safety and immunogenicity of a third booster injection of the multivalent vaccine BNT162b2 (B.1.1.7 + B.1.617.2), and the safety and immunogenicity of a third booster injection of the monovalent vaccine BNT162b2 (B.1.617.2) or BNT162b2 (B.1.1.7), in participants who have received two doses of the parent vaccine BNT162b2 at 30 µg, at least 6 months after the second dose of BNT162b2. It will also evaluate the safety and immunogenicity of a three-dose regimen of BNT162b2 (B.1.1.7 + B.1.617.2) in participants who have not received prior Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) vaccination. In addition, the safety and immunogenicity of BNT162b2 (B.1.1.529.1) or BNT162b2 given as a third or fourth vaccine dose to RNA COVID-19 vaccine-experienced participants with history of SARS-CoV-2 infection will be evaluated and contrasted with the natural immune response reached after infection with the SARS-CoV-2 Omicron variant.
Recently, a new clinical presentation called "long covid" has been reported, for patients with symptoms lasting for more than 4 weeks from the onset of the disease. Typically, the symptoms comprise dyspnea, cough, headache, arthralgia, fever, abdominal pain, asthenia and skin manifestations This project aims to evaluate the efficacy of Montelukast in improving the quality of life associated with respiratory symptoms in patients with persistent COVID-19 symptoms. The main objective is to compare the efficacy of low-dose Montelukast versus placebo to improve respiratory symptoms in patients with persistent COVID-19 symptoms.
Phase IIa clinical trial in which 75 non-ICU hospital inpatients will be randomized 2:1 to 7 days of an oral formulation of cyclosporine, Neoral (2.5mg/kg PO BID) + standard of care (SOC) or no Neoral + SOC. The primary endpoint is disease severity based on the World Health Organization (WHO) COVID Ordinal Outcomes Scale, on day 14. Secondary endpoints include safety and changes in serum inflammatory markers.
This observational study aims to collect detailed clinical information on confirmed or suspected patients of COVID-19 treated in hospitals from Meta State, Colombia. The objectives are: 1. To establish the characteristics of patients and healthcare workers treated with COVID-19. 2. To assess previous predisposing morbidity. 3. To detail clinical factors associated with complications. 4. To profile clinical indicators for severity and outcomes.
The study aims to evaluate the reduction in severity and progression of lung injury with inhaled ibuprofen in patients with severe acute respiratory syndrome due to SARS-CoV-2 virus.
It has been shown in previous important outbreaks of infectious diseases that they have a huge impact on individuals and communities. The psychological effects of the illness itself and the traumatic experiences of loved ones are experienced by individuals and complete health systems. Added to this, the social ecosystem and family finances are also severely affected. After several months of the outbreak start and several weeks of quarantine and self-isolation, the emotional burden on the community has increased. Added to this, many of the confirmed cases are healthcare workers. In addition to the risk of infection, these front-line staff are exposed to high levels of stress and anxiety. This gets worse as the pressure on the health system increases, forcing them to deal with significant ethical issues. To respond to all these issues, the research group led by Dr. Cris Vilaplana at the Germans Trias i Pujol Research Institute (IGTP), have launched a questionnaire to ask the public, including health professionals, how are they being affected by the pandemic, not only in relation to their health but in terms of their emotional wellbeing and their family finances. The project is an initiative of the SMA-TB consortium (IGTP and Anaxomics) to fight against COVID-19. The Fundació Lluita contra la SIDA is also collaborating in the project. The survey is based on questions related to depression, anxiety, stress, and post-traumatic stress disorder, which have already been used in other epidemic outbreaks and in disaster situations, but it also includes questions adapted to the current situation. The survey (now available in 4 languages) has been designed to be shared using a snowball strategy, making possible for everybody to participate and collaborate. The results obtained will initially help us to better understand the impact of the outbreak of COVID-19 on the general wellbeing of the population and health workers so that we can go on to develop strategies in coordination those in charge of administrations in order to adapt policies to people's real needs. The results of the study will be published in a scientific article and will be publicly available.
