COVID-19 Clinical Trials and Expanded Access

Different studies have demonstrated that the absence of companionship during labor and childbirth may be responsible for a negative birth experience, an increased risk of postnatal depression and/or post traumatic stress disorders. These situation may also have a negative impact on mother-child interaction, on marital and family relationship and on the rate of maternal suicide in postpartum. However, these previous results cannot be extrapolated in the current context where the absence of the companionship is imposed by the confinement framework. The objective of the CONFINE study is to assess, for the first time, the birth experience of women in the context of limited social support in the immediate post-partum period due to confinement, as well as the associated over-risk of mental disorders, compared to a post-partum without social restriction.

The study aims to investigate the efficacy of extracorporeal CO2 removal for correction of hypercapnia in coronavirus disease 19 (COVID-19)-associated acute respiratory distress syndrome

This study is to gain critical knowledge to understand the factors influencing the outcome of a pandemic virus within the city of Basel.

The overall objective of this project is to develop an emergent treatment protocol using adoptive T-cell therapy for the treatment of severe COVID-19. The central hypothesis is that SARS-CoV-2 specific T cells from convalescent donors who have recovered from COVID-19 can be manufactured expeditiously for the treatment of severe SARS-CoV-2 infections.

Efficacy of Ivermectin in larger doses in COVID-19 treatment

The study investigators are interested in learning more about how drugs, that are given to children by their health care provider, act in the bodies of children and young adults in hopes to find the most safe and effective dose for children. The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the PK of understudied drugs currently being administered to children per SOC as prescribed by their treating provider.

The objective of the study is to estimate the frequency of cardiac arrhythmias and characterize the mode of death in patients with coronavirus disease (SARS-CoV-2; COVID-19). The study will also evaluate the long term cardiac outcomes in patients previously diagnosed with COVID-19. This is a single-center, retrospective/ prospective registry enrolling all COVID-19 positive patients at Mount Sinai Hospital. Cohort 1: Retrospective chart review: 1. Patients who have been diagnosed with COVID-19 infection at Mount Sinai Hospital will be included. 2. A cohort of 1000 influenza patients will also be evaluated for purpose of comparison. Cohort 2: Prospective data collection of 100 patients who: 1. Were hospitalized for COVID-19 and who had an abnormal echocardiogram during hospitalization. 2. A matched cohort (for age, gender, troponin level, and days since hospital discharge) who did not have abnormalities on their echocardiograms (or who did not undergo echocardiogram) to ascertain that in this unusual disease, subjects did not develop echo abnormalities following hospital discharge.

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

Interferon lambda is one of the main arms of the innate antiviral immune response and is critical for controlling respiratory viral infections in mice. Interferon lambda has a better side effect profile than other interferons because of the limited tissue distribution of its receptor. Peginterferon lambda is a long-acting form that has been studied extensively in human trials in viral hepatitis, confirming its safety. We propose to evaluate peginterferon-lambda in ambulatory and hospitalized patients with mild to moderate COVID-19.

To provide ruxolitinib through an expanded access program for the treatment of cytokine storm due to COVID-19 in the United States to patients who are eligible but not able to be hospitalized or who are hospitalized with a clinical diagnosis and/or positive test for SARD-CoV-2 infection.
