Filter by:It is Phase 1b, 2-part, double-blind, placebo-controlled study to evaluate safety, tolerability, and pharmacokinetics of PF-07304814, in patients hospitalized with SARS-CoV-2 virus infection.
A multi-centre Australian trial with four arms aims to evaluate several different immune modulating drugs for prevention and treatment of COVID-19 specifically in the cancer population. ARM 1 is evaluating the effect of interferon-alpha (vs placebo) on the incidence of COVID-19 infection in cancer patients with no COVID-19 infection or no known COVID-19 positive contacts. ARM 2 is evaluating the effect of interferon-alpha (vs placebo) on the incidence of COVID-19 infection in cancer patients with confirmed exposure to COVID-19 virus. ARM 3 is evaluating the effect of Selinexor (vs placebo) on the incidence of COVID-19 infection in cancer patients with moderate COVID-19 infection. ARM 4 is evaluating the effect of Lenzilumab (vs placebo) on the treatment of COVID-19 infection in cancer patients with severe COVID-19 infection. Participants may become eligible and transition to different arms and treatments if they become exposed to COVID-19 or are hospitalised with an active moderate/severe COVID-19 infection. It is hoped this research will provide insight into the best practice for prevention and treatment of COVID-19 in cancer patients as emerging standard of care measures are not always suitable to this especially vulnerable population.
Coldamaris lozenges are a medical device containing 10 mg carrageenan/lozenge. The goal of the study is to determine whether the iota-carrageenan content in the saliva of subjects who sucked Coldamaris® lozenges is sufficient to inhibit the replication of 4 of the most common respiratory viruses causing common cold. At least 29 subjects will be screened, in order to get 24 subjects included.
This QI project seeks to evaluate the relative test sample acquisition throughput, personal protective equipment utilization, and relative operational costs of provider-administered COVID-19 (SARS-CoV-2) nasal samples with and with the use of HEPA-filtered, positive pressure isolation booths.
Reduxium is a dietary supplement that provides immune support. This natural compound is orally-ingested in the form of droplets in water to boost the immune system and control inflammation. There is not enough data on the mechanism associated with the action of Reduxium or the extent of the immune response increase it produces. In this study, the investigators propose treating a group of healthy volunteers with Reduxium and investigate the utility of this approach in boosting the native and adaptive immune responses that correlate with immune protection. This may form the basis for a future study employing the product in infectious disease patients.
The purpose of this study is to measure the effect of the Shingrix vaccine on your immune system and whether that has any effect on the body's ability to fight off other infections such as COVID-19. We hypothesize that: H1: Shingrix vaccination will elevate acute and trained immunity H2: For 6 months following the first injection, increased levels of acute and trained immunity is associated with less disease, including fewer hospitalizations and deaths associated with flu, pneumonia, and COVID-19.
Parallel group, Wait-list design, with treatment delayed for 3 months. Participants will be randomized on a 1:1 ratio with 500 participants per group in Australia. Group 1: Wait-list control. One capsule OM85 (7.0 mg) will be given daily for 3 months, commencing in Month 3, with 3 months follow-up off treatment. Group 2: Initial treatment. One capsule OM85 (7.0 mg) will be given daily for 3 months, commencing on day 0, with 3 months follow-up off treatment.
While novel drug discovery and vaccine studies are time taking process, re-purposing old drugs against the COVID-2019 epidemic can help identify treatments, with known pre-clinical, pharmacokinetic, pharmacodynamic, and toxicity profiles, which can rapidly enter Phase 3 or 4 or can be used directly in clinical settings. Immunofree has many of the herbs which have been evaluated by other trials published for Covid-19 treatment. The Immunofree tablet of the test product is an Ayurvedic proprietary medicine and is a combination of polyherbal mixture. The components of this formulation are known for their anti-viral and immunomodulatory effects. Also, Reginmune, owing to its immunomodulatory effect might help in easing the symptoms and decrease the viral load.
This cross-sectional study will screen out hepatitis D virus-infected patients in HBsAg-positive people. Observe and describe the prevalence of hepatitis D infection among HBsAg positive people. The provinces of China are divided into 5 geographical areas (North, South, East, West and Central) to recruit patients according to the population density of each area. After statistical calculation, the total number of population needed is 3808.
The overall objective of the study is to determine the therapeutic effect and tolerance of Tocilizumab combined with Dexamethasone in patients with moderate, severe pneumonia or critical pneumonia associated with Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). Tocilizumab (TCZ) is an anti-human IL-6 receptor monoclonal antibody that inhibits signal transduction by binding sIL-6R and mIL-6R. The study has a cohort multiple Randomized Controlled Trials (cmRCT) design. Randomization will occur prior to offering Dexamethasone alone or Dexamethasone +Tocilizumab administration to patients enrolled in the CORIMUNO-19 cohort. Tocilizumab will be administered to consenting adult patients hospitalized with COVID-19 either diagnosed with moderate or severe pneumonia requiring no mechanical ventilation or critical pneumonia requiring mechanical ventilation. Patients who will chose not to receive Tocilizumab will receive standard of cares. Outcomes of Tocilizumab-treated patients will be compared with outcomes of standard of care (including Dexamethasone) treated patients
