Filter by:IL-6 is an inflammatory marker, secrete by the cells in many pathological conditions like COVID-19 pneumonia. Interleukin 6 bind with its receptors (IL-6R) on cells surface and recruited a protein for its activation known as gp-130. Activated receptors send signals to nucleus through secondary messenger system and up regulate the expression of IL-6/GP130 domain. Total of two hundred (n=200) participants were included in the current study and divided equally in four groups. Group B is given Tocilizumab and Group C is treated with Remdesivir along with the approved standard treatment. Group D is only Given standard therapy and Group A constituted normal healthy age and sexed matched participants. Levels of gp-130 were estimated by commercially available ELISA kit. To estimate the relationship of severity of disease with gp-130 and IL-6 Pearson's correlations was used. Sensitivity and specificity for what purpose
Prospective, multi-center, observational, blinded study, enrolling pediatric and adult subjects. Eligible ED\Urgent care and hospital admitted patients with symptoms consistent with acute bacterial or viral infection and healthy subjects will be recruited according to the eligibility criteria. Each participant will undergo a thorough investigation upon recruitment that includes documenting clinical, radiological, laboratory and microbiological information for determining their health status. Follow-up data will be collected via a phone call. Diagnostic performance of the MeMed BV™ Test for differentiating bacterial from viral infection will be assessed using an expert adjudication comparator method. The study will be run in a blinded fashion: site personnel will be blinded to the comparator method outcomes, and the expert panel will be blinded to the results of the index test. Results of the index test will not be revealed to the attending clinician and so will not influence patient management.
Phase 1, first-in-human, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, multiple-dose-escalation study to evaluate the safety, tolerability and immunogenicity of PRV-101, a coxsackie virus B vaccine, in healthy volunteers.
This randomized, single blind clinical study was conducted to investigate the clinical efficacy and safety of the drug Amizon (enisamium iodide), in comparison with placebo for the treatment of patients with acute respiratory viral infections (ARVI), including influenza. Enisamium iodide is an antiviral small molecule. Adult patients were enrolled and randomised into 2 groups. On the first day of the onset of symptoms of ARVI, one group of patients took Amizon tablets (active ingredient enisamium iodide) for 7 days; the other group of patients took matching placebo tablets for 7 days. Examination and observation of all participants was done for up to 14 days after the first intake of the study drug. The effect of treatment was assessed by subjective reporting of the symptoms of ARVI and influenza, using a predefined symptom scale score system. Objective assessment was performed by measuring vitals signs, laboratory tests (including blood and urine assessment), as well as evaluating the immune status (including measuring the relative concentration of interferon and immunoglobulins).
This is a prospective, randomized placebo-controlled double blinded clinical trial in frontline healthcare workers managing COVID-19 patients. Participants will be weekly tested for SARS-CoV-2 and a panel of respiratory viruses. Treatment will be 3times a day for 84 days one puff into each nostirl and 3 puffs into mouth. Daily a symptom score will be recorded. The primary objective of the trial is to demonstrate that prophylactic treatment of health care workers managing COVID-19 patients with iota-carrageenan reduces symptoms of SARS-CoV-2 infections as well as infections with other respiratory viruses when compared to a placebo-treated control group.
A multicenter, 3-arm randomized dose finding study in the UK to evaluate safety, tolerability and immunogenicity of a vaccine candidate against Covid-19. 150 healthy volunteers will be enrolled and receive two shots of the vaccine candidate. All participants who receive two doses of the vaccine candidate will be invited to participate in the Booster phase.
Hepatitis E Virus (HEV) infections are emerging in the Western world with a predominance of HEV genotype (gt) 3. Except for age older than 50 years, male gender, chronic liver disease and immunosuppressed status, no correlators with clinical outcomes have been identified so far. With this study, we want to examine viral factors associated with the morbidity and mortality of HEV infections in Belgium as well as find correlators with clinical outcomes.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy in terms of hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) levels of the study intervention (that is, JNJ-73763989 + JNJ-56136379 + nucleos[t]ide analog [NA] and pegylated interferon alpha-2a [PegIFN-alpha2a]).
Unlike other respiratory viruses such as influenza and Respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV) where the child is the essential reservoir and central vector of intrafamilial contamination, the child is likely to be a small player in the transmission of Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome CoronaVirus 2 (SRAS-CoV2) infection. This study aims to describe the age category of the first contact, within 14 days before the appearance of the first symptoms of the index case in order to describe the age categories of this first contaminant, globally, in the group of children and finally in the group of adults. This work is intended to provide food for discussion and to justify the distancing and containment measures imposed on children when their isolation has a deleterious impact that has now been established for some children.
To evaluate host-immune biomarkers including TRAIL, IP-10, CRP and their computational integration for predicting COVID-19 and disease severity in patients with PCR-confirmed COVID-19.
