Filter by:Ideal new treatments for Novel Coronavirus-19 (COVID-19) would help halt the progression disease in patients with mild disease prior to the need for artificial respiration (ventilators), and also provide a rescue treatment for patients with severe disease, while also being affordable and available in quantities sufficient to treat large numbers of infected people. Low doses of Naltrexone, a drug approved for treating alcoholism and opiate addiction, as well as Ketamine, a drug approved as an anesthetic, may be able to interrupt the inflammation that causes the worst COVID-19 symptoms and prove an effective new treatment. This study will investigate their effectiveness in a randomized, blinded trial versus standard treatment plus placebo.
It is a multicenter, national, randomized 1:1 ratio, controlled, parallel, open study. Patients with severe ARDS-CoVid19 will be included in the trial within the first 24 hours. Patients will be randomized to one of the treatment groups: - SEV group: 25 patients with Sevoflurane sedation by inhalation, starting at 6 ml/h and changing every 15 minutes until an adequate level of sedation is achieved (BIS 40-50) - PRO group: 25 patients standard sedation with intravenous propofol, starting with 2 mg/kg/h and changing every 15 minutes until an adequate level of sedation is achieved ( BIS 40-50)
The purpose of this pilot study is to evaluate the effects of Atomoxetine, a selective noradrenaline reuptake inhibitor, on impulsivity in patients with Tourette's syndrome.
Single blind randomized clinical trial designed to evaluate the efficacy of the combination of hydroxychloroquine and dexamethasone as treatment for severe Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome (ARDS) related to coronavirus disease 19 (COVID-19). We hypothesize that dexamethasone (20 mg for 5 days followed by 10 mg for 5 days) combined with 600 mg per day dose of hydroxychloroquine for 10 days will reduce the 28-day mortality compared to hydroxychloroquine alone in patients with severe ARDS related COVID-19.
The aim of this double blind placebo-controlled study is to evaluate the effect of BIOintestil on fecal microbiota, inflammatory chemokines and symptoms in patients affected by Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS).
Rationale: The current SARS-CoV-2 pandemic has a high burden of morbidity and mortality due to development of the so-called acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). The renin-angiotensin-system (RAS) plays an important role in the development of ARDS. ACE2 is one of the enzymes involved in the RAS cascade. Virus spike protein binds to ACE2 to form a complex suitable for cellular internalization. The downregulation of ACE2 results in the excessive accumulation of angiotensin II, and it has been demonstrated that the stimulation of the angiotensin II type 1a receptor (AT1R) increases pulmonary vascular permeability, explaining the increased lung pathology when activity of ACE2 is decreased. Currently available AT1R blockers (ARBs) such as valsartan, have the potential to block this pathological process mediated by angiotensin II. There are presently two complementary mechanisms suggested: 1) ARBs block the excessive angiotensin-mediated AT1R activation, and 2) they upregulate ACE2, which reduces angiotensin II concentrations and increases the production of the protective vasodilator angiotensin 1-7. In light of the above, ARBs may prevent the development of ARDS and avert morbidity (admission to intensive care unit (ICU) and mechanical ventilation) and mortality. Objective: To investigate the effect of the ARB valsartan in comparison to placebo on the occurrence of one of the following items, within 14 days of randomization:1) ICU admission; 2) Mechanical ventilation; 3) Death. Study design: A double-blind, placebo-controlled 1:1 randomized clinical trial Study population: Adult hospitalized SARS-CoV-2-infected patients (n=651). Intervention: The active-treatment arm will receive valsartan in a dosage titrated to blood pressure up to a maximum of 160mg b.i.d. and the placebo arm will receive a matching placebo also titrated to blood pressure. Treatment duration will be 14 days or up to hospital discharge < 14 days or occurrence of the primary endpoint if < 14 days. Main study endpoint: The primary study endpoint is the occurrence within 14 days of randomization of either: 1) ICU admission; 2) Mechanical ventilation; 3) Death.
Women with androgen excess polycystic ovary syndrome (AE-PCOS) leads to hypertension.
This randomized study evaluates the effectiveness of the a probiotic formula, compared with the antibiotic rifaximin, in the treatment of Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth (SIBO) in Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) patients.
The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of magrolimab in combination with azacitidine compared to that of azacitidine plus placebo in previously untreated participants with intermediate/high/very high risk myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) by Revised International Prognostic Scoring System (IPSS-R) as measured by complete remission (CR) and overall survival (OS).
The investigators wish to compare the brain distribution of GABA(A) receptors and GABA levels in young adult males with Fragile X Syndrome compared to idiopathic intellectual developmental disorder. The radiopharmaceutical [18F]flumazenil has been used to study GABA(A) receptor distribution in other genetic syndromes with autistic features; however, despite overwhelming evidence supporting the importance of the GABAergic system in FXS, no clinical investigation of this system in human FXS has been reported in the literature. Therefore, this study will provide the first in vivo comprehensive examination of the GABAergic system in FXS using hybrid positron emission tomography/ magnetic resonance imaging (PET/MRI).
