COVID-19 Clinical Trials and Expanded Access

This is a Phase 2, proof of concept, randomized, placebo-controlled, multicenter study to evaluate the ability of LB1148 to attenuate pulmonary dysfunction associated with COVID-19 pneumonia. The primary objective of this study is to determine if enteral administration of LB1148 will effect disease progression in hospitalized patients with moderate to severe COVID-19 via measurement of the proportion of subjects alive and free of respiratory failure at Day 28.

the retrospective observation study, the first line to care CAVID-19

This study collects blood samples, medical information, and medical images from patients who are being treated for cancer and have a positive test for SARS CoV-2, the new coronavirus that causes the disease called COVID-19. Collecting blood samples, medical information, and medical images may help researchers determine how COVID-19 affects the outcomes of patients undergoing cancer treatment and how having cancer affects COVID-19.

This is a longitudinal, multi-center, observational study collecting diverse biological measurements and clinical and epidemiological data for the purpose of enabling a greater understanding of the onset of severe outcomes, primarily acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) and/or mortality, in patients presenting to the hospital with suspicion or diagnosis of COVID-19. We seek to understand whether there are early signatures that predict progression to ARDS, mortality, and/or other comorbid conditions. The duration of the study participation is approximately 3 months.

Cases of chilblains have been reported with an unusual frequency in France in the context of the COronaVirus Infectious Disease 2019 (COVID-19) epidemic. Some of these cases have been linked to a virological status in favour of a recent Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome CoronaVirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection. Chilblains are acral inflammatory lesion typically reactive to cold (primary form). There are secondary forms acquired during autoimmune connectivitis such as lupus chilblain or hereditary forms related to type I Interferonopathy. An interferon type I signature has been described in these secondary forms of frostbite but also during the cytokine storm of severe forms of CoV-2 SARS infection. If cases of frostbite are indeed secondary to an SARS-CoV-2 infection, comparative analysis of their immunopathological profiles could provide a better understanding of the inflammatory mechanisms during COVID-19.

Mechanically ventilated patients with coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) have a mortality of 24-53%, in part due to distal mucopurulent secretions interfering with ventilation. Dornase alfa is recombinant human DNase 1 and digests DNA in mucoid sputum. Nebulized dornase alfa is FDA-approved for cystic fibrosis treatment. DNA from neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs) contributes to the viscosity of mucopurulent secretions. NETs are found in the serum of patients with severe COVID-19, and targeting NETs reduces mortality in animal models of acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). Thus, dornase alfa may be beneficial to patients with severe COVID-19-acting as a mucolytic and targeting NETs.

Objective of this observational multicentric retrospective-prospective study is to describe the number and the characteristics of patients with Reverse Transcription Polymerase Chain Reaction (RT-PCR) for SARS-CoV2 positivity admitted to Intensive Care Units during the first 6 months of epidemic.

Hydroxychloroquine is widely used to treat autoimmune diseases. Clinical investigation has found that a high concentration of cytokines were detected in the plasma of critically ill patients infected with SARS-CoV-2, therefore, hydroxychloroquine as anti-inflammatory agents may reduce this response in accord with their use in autoimmune disease where the cytokine response can be reduced. Favipiravir is an antiviral drug developed in Japan that the data sheet notes that it is a pyrazinecarboxamide derivative with activity against influenza viruses, west nile virus, yellow fever virus, foot and mouth disease virus as well as against flaviviruses, arenaviruses, bunyaviruses and alphaviruses. In February the drug was used for COVID-19 disease in China and was declared effective in treatment, and a report published (in press) comparing Favipiravir with Lopinavir /ritonavir suggested that Favipiravir was superior for prevention of disease progression and viral clearance. The objective of this pilot study is to compare three arms: hydroxychloroquine; favipiravir; standard care (no specific SARS-CoV-2 treatment) only, in symptomatic patients infected by SARS-CoV-2 in an open label randomized clinical trial. The difference between groups will allow an effect size to be determined for a definitive clinical trial.

Anorexia nervosa is a severe psychiatric condition. On the nutritional level, one of the objectives recommended by the High Authority of Health is to "achieve and maintain an appropriate weight and nutritional status". It is recommended that, in the event of hospitalisation, this should be "as long as necessary" and be based on a weight contract as a condition for discharge. Within the Pôle Universitaire de Psychiatrie de l'Enfant et de l'Adolescent of the Centre Psychothérapique de Nancy, an inpatient unit takes care of children and adolescents with a specific valence in the management of patients suffering from eating disorders. Since the first quarter of 2020, France has been progressively affected by the pandemic of the coronavirus 2019, Covid-19. This pandemic has led to unprecedented containment measures in France and around the world. At the time of the announcement of the implementation of containment, the investigators proposed to the parents of patients hospitalized in the Child and Adolescent Psychiatry Department of the Nancy Psychotherapy Center who were approaching their discharge weight to be able to end their hospitalization prematurely. As a follow-up to this hospitalisation, intensive outpatient care was offered to the families, in accordance with State recommendations in connection with the pandemic. In this hospitalized unit, weekly outpatient consultations were maintained and coupled with telephone interviews, teleconsultation interviews and a telephone hotline for the healthcare team. The objective of the study is to explore, in a qualitative way, the experiences of patients hospitalized in the child psychiatry department for anorexia nervosa at the time of the coronavirus epidemic in France and those of their parents, in relation to the reorganization of care.

Study rationale and aim: Resolving the COVID-19 pandemic quickly hinges on a crucial factor: how well a person's immune system remembers SARS-CoV-2, the virus behind the disease, after an infection has resolved and the patient is back in good health. This phenomenon, called immune memory, helps our bodies avoid reinfection by a bug persons have had before and influences the potency of life-saving treatments and vaccines. Also, the new coronavirus causes cardiac and pulmonary inflammation. So, our study planned to measure the cardiopulmonary and immunological changes in treated COVID-19 patients. Specific objectives: Measurement the duration of existence of COVID-19 IgM and IgG antibody in patient's plasma, detection of cardiac changes, pulmonary radiological and functional changes after COVID-19 infection. This could help detection of functional impairment in COVID-19 survivors which may have economic and social impact. Also, investigator will assess possible protective immune response following infection which may affect vaccination schedule. Methods: One hundred RT- PCR positive COVID-19 patients will be enrolled. HRCT chest, lateral flow immunoassay, spirometry, DLCO and Echo will be done on after 3, 6 and 12 months of discharge.
