COVID-19 Clinical Trials and Expanded Access

This is a randomized, double blind, placebo controlled, first-in-human (FIH) study to assess safety, reactogenicity, and immunogenicity of SCB-2019 at multiple dose levels, administered as 2 injections IM in healthy subjects. Each study vaccine dose level will be evaluated with and without adjuvant.

The SARS-CoV-2 infection was detected in December 2019 in Wuhan City, China. The infection affects all age groups, although childhood is the lowest proportion of those affected. The main clinical manifestations that require hospitalization of infected patients are SARS pneumonia, which may require treatment in the intensive care unit (27%) and its progression into acute respiratory distress syndrome (67%) with life-threatening conditions in almost 25% of patients diagnosed with "SARS-CoV-2 infection". Nervous system damage with SARS-CoV-2 infection has been practically not investigated, but neurological disorders have been reported in 36% of these patients. Finally, the mortality rate associated with the new virus is high in patients who require treatment in intensive care units (62% of cases). Therefore, we are conducting a prospective study to identify acute encephalopathy predictors in patients with COVID-19.

About 5% of COVID-19 patients may present symptoms related to acute ischemic stroke (AIS). Treatment-management and outcomes related to mechanical thrombectomy (MT) for COVID-19 infected patients harboring large vessel occlusion is largely unknown. This multicentric study aims to investigate morbidity, mortality and neurological outcomes after MT performed in patients with COVID-19 infection.

This study examines the use of disinfectants by Egyptian women during the coronavirus lockdown. Data will be collected via an online self-administered questionnaire that will be distributed to Egyptian women via social media channels. Questions in the questionnaire will assess types of disinfectants frequently used and how often they have been used for household disinfection during the 2020 coronavirus pandemic. The investigators hypothesized that the frequent use of disinfectants in deep household cleaning during the lockdown has been associated with increased incidents of toxicity by bleach and similar products. At the same time, people were advised to stay home and refrain from seeking in-person medical care to avoid catching the coronavirus. Therefore, many people used social media to receive medical advice not necessarily from the right sources nor qualified experts.

The prognosis of patients with severe COVID-19 disease, whose lungs are so severely diseased that they need to be supported by veno-venous ECMO (extracorporeal membrane oxygenation), is difficult to assess so far. Previously published data from studies, case reports and case series describe a very high mortality in this patient collective. The significance of established clinical prognostic cores in this patient population has not been systematically investigated. This is aggravated by the fact that even at very specialized centers only very few patients from this collective are (can be) treated, so that valid investigations are only possible in a multicenter patient collective. In this registry study, all patients diagnosed with COVID-19 and treated with vv-ECMO in the centers participating in the study should be retrospectively examined. The primary aim of the study is to investigate 30-day survival, secondary objectives include the analysis of different clinical scores at the time of ECMO implantation.

The two biomarkers determined in urine, "Tissue Inhibitor of Metalloproteinases 2 (TIMP-2)" and "Insulin-like Growth Factor-Binding Protein 7 (IGFBP7)", can indicate the occurrence of Acute kidney injury (AKI) in cardiac surgery and critically ill patients at an early stage. However, no data are available whether these parameters can also predict the occurrence of AKI in the context of COVID-19 infection. An early prediction of AKI can be helpful for the optimisation of therapeutic management to improve patient outcome and for the triage of patients. The aim of this observational study is to evaluate whether the biomarker [TIMP- 2]*[IGFBP7] can predict the occurrence of AKI in critically ill patients suffering from SARS-CoV2 associated acute respiratory distress syndrome.

The lockdown of the French population is a health measure put in place in response to the pandemic linked to a new coronavirus, SARS-CoV-2 (Covid-19). After a health campaign to recommend hygienic "barrier gestures" and social distancing, the decision to confine the population at the national level was decided by the executive from Monday 16 March to Monday 11 May 2020. The national confinement implies the restriction of movement to the strict necessary, outings near the home and the closure of schools and communities. These decisions have led to an unprecedented state of stress for the entire French population, the consequences of which are unknown in the short, medium or long term. The objectives of this study are to evaluate the psychological impact of the confinement on adolescents with or without chronic disease and also the difficulties and fears engendered by deconfinement .

A single dose of Reference product containing 200 mg favipiravir and a single dose of Test product containing 200 mg favipiravir or vice versa; administered with 240 mL of water at room temperature, in each period under fasting conditions with current pandemic precautions.

To evaluate the proportion of subjects alive and free of respiratory failure (e.g. need for non-invasive or invasive mechanical ventilation, high flow oxygen, or ECMO) and free of the need for continued renal replacement therapy (RRT) on Day 28. The need for continued RRT at Day 28 will be defined as either dialysis in the past 3 days (Day 26, 27, or 28) or an eGFR on Day 28

The study evaluates the distribution of immunological and virological profiles of newborns patients. Mothers of these children have a proven infection to SARS Cov-2 during pregnancy.
