COVID-19 Clinical Trials and Expanded Access

This study uses the AirGo band to monitor changes in tidal ventilation in spontaneously breathing patients with COVID-19 associated respiratory failure. It aims to recognize patterns of ventilation associated with worsening respiratory failure in this patient population. If successful, this study will lead to the development of new robust methods for real-time, continuous monitoring of respiratory function in patients with respiratory failure. In turn, such monitoring methods may enable improvements in the medical management of respiratory failure and timing of interventions.

This is a prospective multicenter cohort study. The question arises as to whether treatment with protease inhibitors (PIs) could have a preventive role for COVID-19 infection, especially since patients living with HIV (PLWHIV) have not been described as more at risk of developing COVID-19 infection. The aim of our study will therefore be to assess the impact of long-term protease inhibitors in PLWHIV on the incidence of COVID-19.

Study the impact of containment related to COVID-19 pandemic on psychotic experiences in the general population in France.

The aim of this research is to collect dietary intake, physical activity, mood and stress data during and after the Illinois shelter-in-place and social distancing orders for the COVID-19 pandemic. The study's intent is to capture data during this unprecedented time to understand the non-infection consequences of social distancing and shelter-in-place, including duration of affect after orders are lifted.

In late December 2019, an emerging disease due to a novel coronavirus (named SARS-CoV-2) rapidly spread in China and outside. France is currently facing the COVID-19 wave with more than 131 863 confirmed cases and almost 25 201 deaths. Systems of care have been reorganized in an effort to preserve hospital bed capacity, resources, and avoid exposure of patients to the hospital environment where COVID-19 may be more prevalent. Therefore, elective procedures of catheterization and programmed hospitalizations have been delayed. However, a significant proportion of procedures within the catheterization laboratory such as ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI), non ST elevation myocardial infarction or unstable angina are mandatory and cannot be postponed. Surprisingly, invasive cardiologist noticed a drop in STEMI volume without reliable data to confirm this impression. Furthermore, a recent single center report in Hong Kong pointed out longer delays of taking care when compared to patients with STEMI treated with percutaneous intervention the previous year. These data are at major concern because delay in seeking care or not seeking care could have detrimental impact on outcomes.

Inflammation and abnormalities in laboratory coagulation tests are inseparably tied. For example, coagulation abnormalities are nearly universal in septic patients. Coagulation disorders have also been reported in many patients with severe courses of Coronavirus disease 2019 (Covid-19). But it is difficult to assess these changes. Global coagulation tests have been shown to incorrectly assess in vivo coagulation in patients admitted to intensive care units. But other tests are available. Thrombin generation assay (TGA) is a laboratory test which allows the assessment of an individual's potential to generate thrombin. But also in conventional TGA the protein C system is hardly activated because of the absence of endothelial cells (containing natural thrombomodulin) in the plasma sample. Therefore the investigators add recombinant human thrombomodulin to a conventional TGA. Thereby the investigators hope to be able to depict in vivo coagulation more closely than global coagulation tests do.

Study of the cellular immune response during the SARS-CoV-2 infection and identify cytokinic profiles in caregivers exposed to the virus with asymptomatic forms of COVID19, patients with an asymptomatic form followed in ambulatory care and patients hospitalized in the infectious disease department or in resuscitation at the CHU de Nice COVID-19 according to their clinical symptomatology and the kinetics of clinical aggravation using functional tests evaluating the Th1 type immune response. The project is divided into a clinical component comprising the study of the immune response in different populations and a cellular component focusing on the in vitro study of different immunomodulating treatments on their ability to induce an anti-viral Th1

Captopril being an effective drug available in liquid preparation, administration by nebulization could be of interest for maximizing lung action and minimizing systemic side effects. Such a treatment might be used for "Covid-19" patients with pneumonia in order to avoid ARDS.

Context: On March 11, the World Health Organization (WHO) announced the current corona virus disease 2019 (COVID-19) outbreak as a pandemic. The first laboratory-confirmed case of COVID-19 in Austria was announced on February 27, 2020. Since then, the incidence of infection follows a gradual increase. Measurements taken by the Austrian government include travel restrictions, closing of national borders, social distancing, a mandatory use of facemasks in public, and closing of stores and restaurants. The underlying aim of those imposed restrictions is to contain the viral transmission and to slow spreading of the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). Objectives: The aims of this study are to determine i) how many employees in Austrian trauma hospitals and rehabilitation facilities have virus specific IgG and IgM antibodies against SARS-CoV-2, ii) how many are active virus carriers (symptomatic and asymptomatic), iii) how many employees are in their incubation period during the study period, and iv) to calculate the SARS-CoV-2 prevalence together with a specific occupation associated infection risk within the different specifications of health care workers. Study Design: Open uncontrolled observational cross-sectional study. Setting/Participants: A total of 4000 employees in 11 Austrian trauma hospitals and rehabilitation facilities of the Austrian Social Insurance for Occupational Risks (AUVA) will be invited to participate in the study. Study Interventions and Measures: An antibody test for SARS-CoV-2 specific IgG and IgM antibodies, and a RT-PCR test based on oropharyngeal swab samples, as well as laboratory-based antibody tests using ELISA, will be implemented to ensure protection and preservation of health in hospital staff and are not part of the study. The tests will be conducted twice, with approximately two weeks in between testing. The results of the tests will be used for statistical analysis in this study together with a questionnaire including questions related to personal health, traveling activities, living situation, as well as inquiries of symptoms and comorbidities.

The main purpose of this study is to evaluate the activity, safety and reduction in mortality of two regimens of low dose selinexor (KPT-330) in patients with moderate or severe COVID-19.
