COVID-19 Clinical Trials and Expanded Access

Background: Fatigue is among the most common symptoms of the long-term effects ofcoronavirus (long COVID). This study aims to compare the effectiveness of osteopathicmanipulative treatment (OMT) combined with physiotherapy treatment (PT) compared to PTalone on fatigue and functional limitations after two months post randomization in adultswith long COVID.Methods: This is a study protocol for a two-arm, assessor-blinded, pragmatic randomizedcontrolled superiority trial. Seventy-six participants will be randomly allocated toOMT+PT or PT. The PT includes usual care interventions including motor and respiratoryexercises targeting cardiorespiratory and skeletal muscle functions. The OMT entailsdirect, indirect, visceral, and cranial techniques. Patients will be evaluated before andafter a 2-month intervention program, and at 3-month follow-up session. Primaryobjectives comprise fatigue and functional limitations at 2-month post randomization asassessed by the fatigue severity scale and the Post-COVID Functional State scale.Secondary objectives comprise fatigue and functional limitations at 3 months, and theperceived change post-treatment as assessed by the Perceived Change Scale (PCS-patient).

This is a phase Ⅰ/Ⅱ, single-center, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study,to evaluate the safety, tolerability and immunogenicity of the recombinant COVID-19vaccine (Sf9 cells) in the subjects from healthy aged 6-17 years with immunizationprocedures 0, 21, 42 days and doses (10μg/20μg/40μg).

In March 2020, the World Health Organization (WHO) declared the novel coronavirus(COVID-19) a global pandemic. Ontario has confirmed more than 547,000 cases of COVID-19since testing began. For many of these patients, symptoms resolve within 4 weeks ofonset. However, it is becoming apparent that a significant number of individuals areexperiencing symptoms that persist long after the acute infection, known as Long COVID.These individuals have a wide constellation of presenting symptoms, often varying frominitial presentation. For this study, we will be enrolling individuals receiving care atThe Ottawa Hospital for Long COVID. This study aims to determine the following fourthings: 1) will adding electronic case management improve quality of life three monthsafter coming to hospital with Long COVID; 2) is the electronic case management platformcost effective; 3) is there any factors that predict outcomes at 3 months; 4) todetermine how a personalized rehabilitation program supported by a digital platform couldbe implemented for individuals with Long COVID. We will enroll individuals from TheOttawa Hospital who will then be randomly assigned to receive either usual care or usualcare plus electronic case management, through a platform called NexJ Connected Wellness.Participants will also complete questionnaires every 4 weeks for 3 months. We will belooking at quality of life, mental and physical health, cognitive symptoms, fatigue andpain.

Wider research context: Since the recognition of SARS-CoV-2 outbreak in 2019, there arenow over 126 million COVID-19 cases worldwide with more than 2.7 million deaths. Reportson neurological manifestations vary in prevalence rates (6-84%) and range from mild(headache, hyposmia, myalgia) to severe (encephalopathy, strokes, seizures). Little isknown about long-term neurological outcomes of COVID-19 patients. The investigatorspropose a structured protocol to capture persistent and delayed neurologicalmanifestations, neurocognitive deficits and quality of life (QoL) 3 and 12 months afterCOVID-19. Objectives: The investigators hypothesize that neurological manifestations andneuropsychological/cognitive deficits can be detected after COVID-19, substantiallyimpact on patients' QoL and can be correlated with structural neuroimaging findings. Mainobjectives are to assess firstly long-term prevalence rates and natural history ofneurological manifestations, secondly neuropsychological/cognitive deficits afterCOVID-19, thirdly the impact of COVID-19 on measures of mental health, QoL and functionaloutcome, fourthly to correlate neurological manifestations and distinct neurocognitivedeficits with structural MRI abnormalities, and Fifthly to compare these results to age-and sex matched controls hospitalized with pneumonia (Cpneum) and to healthy controls forMRI-data (Chealthy). Approach: The investigators aim to enrol at least 225 patients withCOVID-19, in addition to 50 Cpneum and 80 Chealthy. COVID-19 patients will include (groupOóne) outpatients presenting to the hospital, (group two) in-patients not requiring ICUadmission, and (group three) patients admitted to the ICU. The investigators will notinclude asymptomatic patients, patients not presenting to the hospital, and those who donot consent to participate. The standardized protocol includes a firstly a structuredneurological examination, secondly olfactory testing, thirdly assessment of QoL, mentalhealth and functional outcome at 3 and 12 months, and fourthly screening for cognitivedeficits (at 3 months) and a structured neuropsychological testing (at 12 months) inCOVID-19 patients and controls. In a subset of at least 120 COVID-19 patients and 50controls (Cpneum) high field MRI will be performed at 3 and 12 months. Innovation: Theinvestigators aim to quantify COVID-19 related and specific neurological manifestationsand their impact on the individual health condition. The novelty lies in the prospectivedesign, the longitudinal follow-up including and the inclusion of a control group whichallows us to explore the natural history of COVID-19 related neurological manifestations.Preliminary analysis of our ongoing 3-month follow-up suggests persistent neurologicalmanifestations and a significant impact of COVID-19 on mental health, cognition and QoL.The investigators believe that our study results likely influence the long-term care ofCOVID-19 patients and help to identify those, who need further neuro-rehabilitativesupport

Administration of systemic corticosteroids for patients with severe forms of severe acuterespiratory syndrome(SARS-Co-2) infection are recommended by several guidelines. In thevery beginning of SARS-Co-2 pandemic the early recommendation by professionalorganization was against routine use of corticosteroids for patients with coronavirusdisease 2019 (COVID-19) acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), despite previous dataand clinical practice for patients with refractory or severe form of ARDS.

This is a prospective cohort study of pregnant patients at an urban academic centerdiagnosed with perinatal COVID-19 infection, followed up to 6 weeks postpartum.

COVID-19 is a novel disease caused by SARS-CoV-2 that primarily affects the lungs butalso various other organs of the body already in early stages of the disease. Due to themultiple organ involvements in the acute phase, it is conceivable that - in a significantproportion of patients - longterm sequels in various organ systems might occur, therebyimpacting the individual's health status and quality of life; and posing a relevantburden to the resources of the health care systemAssessment of SARS-CoV-2-longterm morbidity and sequels on the population level:In order to identify and treat these sequels in a timely fashion and to get a sense ofthe prevalence of such SARS-CoV-2 sequels on the population level, it is important tocollect follow-up data and to comprehensively re-examine a population-representativesample of SARS-CoV-2 infected individuals.Within the COVIDOM study we will conduct deep clinical and biochemical phenotyping inpopulation-representative samples in Germany. This will allow novel insights into diseasepathogenesis and chronicity of virus infections.

The purpose of this study is to collect information that will help the reasearchers learnmore about COVID-19 infections in cancer patients, and to find out about the effects ofthese infections on cancer treatment and outcomes. The research study involves askingpeople to complete a series of online questionnaires that include questions about theirmedical history, lifestyle, and risk factors related to the COVID-19 infection. The studywill enroll both MSK patients and their household family members.

There is an unmet need to evaluate the impact of sub-clinical/mild COVID19 disease in theoutpatient setting on prevalent and incident renal injury, as this data is currentlyunavailable. To capture the diversity of race/ethnic risk and COVID19 related municipalshelter-in-place guidance, the investigators will enroll COVID19-negative andCOVID19-positive samples balanced by race/ethnicity from 3 different states, California,Michigan, and Illinois. Study endpoints will be assayed from urine samples mailed to thestudy team at 2, 6, and 12 months after their date of PCR test, with no requirement forthese individuals to leave their homes to participate.
