3 Washed Microbiota Transplantation for Patients With 2019-nCoV Infection: a Randomized, Double-blind, Placebo-controlled Study

Gut dysbiosis co-exists in patients with coronavirus pneumonia. Some of these patients would develop secondary bacterial infections and antibiotic-associated diarrhea (AAD). The recent study on using washed microbiota transplantation (WMT) as rescue therapy in critically ill patients with AAD demonstrated the important clinical benefits and safety of WMT. This clinical trial aims to evaluate the outcome of WMT combining with standard therapy for patients with 2019-novel coronavirus pneumonia, especially for those patients with dysbiosis-related conditions.

4 The Efficacy and Safety of Thalidomide in the Adjuvant Treatment of Moderate New Coronavirus (COVID-19) Pneumonia: a Prospective, Multicenter, Randomized, Double-blind, Placebo, Parallel Controlled Clinical Study

In December 2019, Wuhan, in Hubei province, China, became the center of an outbreak of pneumonia of unknown cause. In a short time, Chinese scientists had shared the genome information of a novel coronavirus (2019-nCoV) from these pneumonia patients and developed a real-time reverse transcription PCR (real time RT-PCR) diagnostic assay. In view of the fact that there is currently no effective antiviral therapy, the prevention or treatment of lung injury caused by COVID-19 can be an alternative target for current treatment. Thalidomide has anti-inflammatory, anti-fibrotic, anti-angiogenesis, and immune regulation effects. This study is the first Prospective, Multicenter, Randomized, Double-blind, Placebo, Parallel Controlled Clinical Study at home and abroad to use immunomodulators to treat patients with COVID-19 infection.

5 The Efficacy and Safety of Thalidomide Combined With Low-dose Hormones in the Treatment of Severe New Coronavirus (COVID-19) Pneumonia: a Prospective, Multicenter, Randomized, Double-blind, Placebo, Parallel Controlled Clinical Study

In view of the fact that there is currently no effective antiviral therapy, the prevention or treatment of lung injury caused by COVID-19 can be an alternative target for current treatment. Patients with severe COVID-19 have rapid disease progression and high mortality. There is currently no effective treatment method, which may be related to the excessive immune response caused by cytokine storm. This study will evaluate thalidomide combined with low-dose hormone adjuvant therapy for severe COVID-19 Patient effectiveness and safety.

6 Dexamethasone and Oxygen Support Strategies in ICU Patients With Covid-19 pneumonia_COVIDICUS

The main manifestation of COVID-19 is acute hypoxemic respiratory failure (AHRF). In patients with AHRF, the need for invasive mechanical ventilation is associated with high mortality. Two hypotheses will be tested in this study. The first hypothesis is the benefit of corticosteroid therapy on severe COVID-19 infection admitted in ICU in terms of survival. The second hypothesis is that, in the subset of patients free of mechanical ventilation at admission, either Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (CPAP) or High-Flow Nasal Oxygen (HFNO) allows to reduce intubation rate safely during COVID-19 related acute hypoxemic respiratory failure.

8 Interferon Lambda for Immediate Antiviral Therapy at Diagnosis (ILIAD): A Phase II Randomized, Double-blind, Placebo-controlled, Multicenter Trial to Evaluate the Effect of Peginterferon Lambda for the Treatment of COVID-19

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.

9 Evaluating the Efficacy of Artesunate in Adults With Mild Symptoms of COVID-19

Coronavirus disease (COVID-19) is an infectious disease caused by a newly discovered coronavirus. At this time, there are no specific vaccines or treatments for COVID-19. However, there are many ongoing clinical trials evaluating potential treatments Drugs used to treat malaria infection has shown to be beneficial for many other diseases, including viral infections. In this Clinical trial, Investigators will evaluate the effect of Artemisinin / Artesunate on morbidity of COVID-19 patients in decreasing the course of the disease and viral load in symptomatic stable positive swab COVID-19 patients.
