COVID-19 Clinical Trials and Expanded Access

Preliminary reports have been received from several sources that the periodic inhaling of the nebulized mist from water that has a heightened level of kinetic activity has quickly (less than 2 days) lessened the severity of symptoms in Covid-19 infected patients. On at least several occasions, a repeat PCR test performed several after inhaling a particular water-based product was negative. There are no perceived adverse effects from inhaling the water mist by using a nebulizer or humidifier. It is important, however, to validate these preliminary findings and to include the inhaling of the mist from water, which does not have an elevated level of kinetic activity. This will be by performed in a patient-blinded manner by sequentially inhaling the two types of water over consecutive 2-day periods with Covid-19 testing at the end of each of the two day periods. Participants will be randomized as to whether they are to inhale the mist from the test or the control water.

A Respiratory infection with the SARS-CoV2 virus is associated with a major risk of viral pneumonia that can lead to respiratory distress requiring resuscitation. In the most severe forms, it may require mechanical ventilation or even lead to an acute respiratory distress syndrome with a particularly poor prognosis. The SARS-CoV2 is a single-stranded RNA virus of positive polarity and belongs to the beta genus of Coronaviruses. SARS-CoV2 is responsible for the third epidemic in less than twenty years secondary to a Coronavirus (SARS-CoV then MERS-CoV) and if the mortality associated with it is lower than that of previous strains, notably MERS-CoV, its spread is considerably big. As a result, the number of patients developing respiratory distress requiring invasive mechanical ventilation is high, with prolonged ventilation duration in these situations

ULSC-CV-01 is a clinical trial that comprises both Phase 1 and Phase 2a, which will be conducted sequentially. This trial will evaluate the safety and potential efficacy of allogeneic Umbilical Cord Lining Stem Cells (ULSC), which are a type of umbilical cord tissue derived mesenchymal stem cells (MSC), with intravenous (IV) administration in hospitalized patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) due to COVID-19.

Collect in an observational study the outcomes of COVID19 infection in MM patients across Europe.

This study is being conducted to look at the safety and immune response (how the immune system of the human body reacts) to a vaccine for SARS-CoV-2 (the virus responsible for COVID-19 infection) when administered as an intramuscular injection (an injection directly into the muscle) to the upper arm of healthy participants, on two occasions at least 28 days apart.

This research aims to investigate the incidence, clinical condition, mode of transmission and laboratory data of women and their babies, who were exposed to COVID-19 infection during pregnancy. This project will consist of 4 subprojects, being that Subprojects 1 and 2, will be of the observational, longitudinal type of prospective Cohort; Subproject 3 will be of prevalence; Subproject 4 will be case-control. Subproject 1- This study aims to assess periodontal condition and quality of life before and after delivery of women with excess weight gain or not, with exposure to coronavirus-sars-cov2. Subproject 2- Identify the proteins differentially expressed in saliva associated with COVID-19 infection during the 3rd trimester of pregnancy in obese and eutrophic patients. Subproject 3- Assess the prevalence of congenital syndrome in babies associated with the presumed maternal infection with SARS-CoV-2. Subproject 4- Case-control study in which newborns are submitted to clinical examination, being a group with congenital malformations and their respective controls and an interview with the mother was carried out.

An International Multi-Centre Randomised Adaptive Platform Clinical Trial to Assess the Clinical, Virological and Immunological Outcomes in Patients with SARS-CoV-2 Infection (COVID-19).

This is a a randomized double blind placebo controlled Phase 2 trial with a 12 patient lead-in to evaluate safety, prior to full enrollment to an additional 28 patients (for a total of 40 patients) to assess efficacy of decitabine in the treatment of critically ill patients with COVID-ARDS. The patients will be randomized in a 1:1 ratio to receive standard of care plus Decitabine or standard of care plus saline based placebo. The primary objective is to determine safety and efficacy of decitabine for COVID-19 ARDS based on clinical improvement on a 6-point clinical scale.

Tocilizumab is an effective treatment for severe coronavirus disease 2019 (Covid-19) pneumonia and related inflammation. Given limited global supplies, clarification of the optimal tocilizumab dose is critical. We conducted an open-label, randomized, controlled trial evaluating two different dose levels of tocilizumab in Covid-19 (40mg and 120mg). Randomization was stratified on remdesivir and corticosteroid at enrollment. The primary outcome was the time to recovery. The key secondary outcome was 28-day mortality.

In this trial patients will be treated with either a combination of therapies to treat COVID-19 or a placebo. Treatment will last 10 days, and patients will be followed for 6 months.
