Filter by:There is no predictive tool for patients admitted to the emergency department with a suspicion of Covid-19 that will worsen secondarily and require a heavy lifting. In a context of saturation of the healthcare system by the pandemic at Covid-19,it is essential to identify specific, accessible prognostic markers via minimally invasive sampling with low risk of infection for personnel caregiver, for optimal allocation of resuscitation resources. This study proposes to evaluate the biological markers of routine care known to be associated with resuscitation admission in relation to hospitalization on conventional service for the prediction of worsening of patients admitted to the emergencies for Covid-19.
To evaluate the efficacy and safety of Anluohuaxian in blocking the progression of pulmonary fibrosis and improving lung function in patients with COVID-19.
To investigate the mechanism, clinical outcome and therapeutic efficacy with favipiravir of Corona Virus Disease 2019 patients whose nucleic acids changed from negative to positive.
A randomized 4 cohort study that is comparing the data collected during the earlier phase study and to determine if immunogenicity can be retained with a 1 mg dose of Hantaan DNA vaccine.
The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) outbreak is now considered as a public health emergency of international concern by the World Health Organization. In the context of the health emergency, research on the pathogen (the SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus), the disease and the therapeutic care is being organized. Research projects require the use of biological samples. This study aims at setting up a collection of biological samples intended for application projects in any discipline. The main objective of the study is to collect, process and store biological samples from patients and caregivers infected with SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19) at the biological ressources center of the Bordeaux University Hospital.
COVID-19 (also known as Coronavirus) originated in the Wuhan China and has since spread to at least 159 countries around the world. It was declared a pandemic by the World health organisation on the 11th of March 2020. The cases in the United Kingdom continue to increase exponentially with up to 5 683 people diagnosed as on the 22nd of March 2020. It is estimated that 1 in 5 people diagnosed will require hospital admission and 1 in 20 intensive care treatment. By developing and improving diagnostic testing, we can accurately diagnose infected cases to triage appropriate treatments, identify individuals for quarantine in order to prevent transmission and obtain information regarding patient's immune systems. At present, the diagnostic test is a highly specific method of genetic amplification called 'Reverse Transcription - Polymerase Chain Reaction' or RT-PCR, which allows detection of very small amounts of genetic mutations caused by the COVID-19 virus. However, this method must be completed in highly specialised facilities, which are few and far between, increasing time to diagnosis (currently 48-72 hours), increasing exposure to non-infected individuals, and overburdening the analysing facilities. The ideal solution is a point of care (POC) test that can give results immediately. This study aims to harness the point of care technology of the SAMBA II device (Diagnostics for the Real World Ltd.), which is a CE-marked device that has been used with success in the identification of Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV), by amplifying genetic material without the need to increase and decrease temperatures during the amplification process. In the COVIDx study, 200 patients meeting the Public Health England's (PHE) inpatient definition of having suspected COVID-19 will be approached, consented and a sample from throat and nasal swab (combined) or tracheal fluid taken and tested using the SAMBA II method. A combination of the standard PHE RT-PCR and an additional validated laboratory PCR technique will be used as a control in line with standard clinical practice. Patients will undergo an additional serum tests on existing samples as made available after routine clinical assessments to monitor antibody response. Patients will be followed for clinical outcomes at 28 days post-admission.
The overall objective of the study is to determine which treatments (e.g. immune modulator drugs) have the most favorable benefit-risk in adult patients hospitalized with COVID-19 either diagnosed with moderate or severe pneumonia requiring no mechanical ventilation or critical pneumonia requiring mechanical ventilation. The specific aims of this Covid19 cohort are to collect observational data at regular intervals on an ongoing basis in order to embed a series of randomized controlled trials evaluating a various set of interventions for patients with COVID-19 pneumonia. The study has a cohort multiple Randomized Controlled Trials (cmRCT) design.
Researchers are creating a real time COVID-19 registry of current ICU/hospital care patterns to allow evaluations of safety and observational effectiveness of COVID-19 practices and to determine the variations in practice across hospitals.
The Novel Coronavirus (2019-nCoV), also known as Wuhan coronavirus, causes the 2019-nCoV acute respiratory disease.
The purpose of this study is to test the hypothesis that post-exposure prophylaxis with hydroxychloroquine will reduce the symptomatic secondary attack rate among household contacts of known or suspected COVID-19 patients.
