Clinical Trials


1 The Impact of Respiratory Pathogen PCR Assay on Treatment of Adult Patients: A Randomized Controlled Trial

Viral respiratory infections are common and often require use of health care resources. Patients receive inappropriate bacterial antibiotics, which has many problems including side-effects, development of resistance and costs. A small portion of the infections leads to severe clinical manifestations including hospitalisations and deaths. The significance of influenza virus is well known and it is actively detected in all age groups. However, the benefits of detecting other respiratory viruses have mainly been studied among children but not among adults. The development of multiplex PCR technique has provided a new and sensitive method for diagnosing a large panel of viruses. To convince the economical benefits of the rapid viral diagnostic in adult infectious patient, more evidence is needed. In our randomized study, nasal and pharyngeal samples from the patients evaluated at the emergency clinic of internal medicine in the University Hospital of Oulu because of any respiratory symptom, chest pain or fever, will be collected. The samples will be tested for 16 different respiratory viruses by using Anyplex TMII RV16 Detection. The adult participants will be randomized in two groups. In one group the results of the testing will be reported for the attending physician as soon as possible, and in the other group 7 days after sampling. The effect of this delay to patient care is monitored. Also the results of children and adults are compared as well as results of men and women. The hypothesis is that rapid viral diagnostics shortens the length of admission and diminishes the use of bacterial antibiotics. New information on the viral epidemiology among children and adults is provided and clinical manifestations of specific viral infections in adults are described. The estimated 1500 samples are also tested for 5 different respiratory bacteria by Anyplex TM II RB5 Detection. These results will be examined after completion of the study period. The benefits of rapid bacterial detection are evaluated in respect to the clinical course of the disease and considering the infection control aspects as well.

2 Nitric Oxide Gas Inhalation Therapy in Spontaneous Breathing Patients With Mild/Moderate COVID19 Infection: a Randomized Clinical Trial

The scientific community is in search for novel therapies that can help to face the ongoing epidemics of novel Coronavirus (COVID-19) originated in China in December 2019. At present, there are no proven interventions to prevent progression of the disease. Some preliminary data on SARS pneumonia suggest that inhaled Nitric Oxide (NO) could have beneficial effects on COVID-19 due to the genomic similarities between this two coronaviruses. In this study we will test whether inhaled NO therapy prevents progression in patients with mild to moderate COVID-19 disease.

3 Inhaled Aviptadil for the Treatment of Non-Acute Lung Injury in COVID-19

Brief Summary: SARS-CoV-2 virus infection is known to cause Lung Injury that begins as dyspnea and exercise intolerance, but may rapidly progress to Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome and the need for mechanical ventilation. Mortality rates as high as 80% have been reported among those who develop ARDS, despite intensive care and mechanical ventilation. Patients with COVID-19 induced non-Acute Lung Injury who have demonstrated reduction in blood oxygenation, dyspnea, and exercise intolerance but do not require endotracheal intubation and mechanical ventilation will be treated with Aviptadil, a synthetic version of Vasoactive Intestinal Polypeptide (VIP) plus Standard of Care vs. placebo + Standard of Care. Patients will be randomized to intravenous Aviptadil will receive inhaled Aviptadil, 100 μg 3x daily vs. placebo 3x daily. The primary outcome will be progression to ARDS over 28 days. Secondary outcomes will include blood oxygenation as measured by pulse oximetry, dyspnea, exercise tolerance, and levels of TNFα IL-6 and other cytokines.

4 Effects of Hydrogen/Oxygen Mixed Gas Inhalation for Patients With Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) Who Had Dyspnea: A Multicenter, Open-label Clinical Trial

This was a randomized, multi-center, open-label clinical trial. Eligible patients were recruited from seven hospitals in China. On the basis of standard-of-care, patients in treatment group inhaled H2-O2 (66% hydrogen; 33% oxygen) at 3 L/min via nasal cannula by using the Hydrogen/Oxygen Generator (model AMS-H-03, Shanghai Asclepius Meditech Co., Ltd., China) until discharge. Patients in control group received standard-of-care (consisting of oxygen therapy) alone until discharge.

5 An International Observational Study of Outpatients With SARS-CoV-2 Infection

The general aim of this study is to estimate the rate of disease progression for adults who seek testing and test positive for SARS-CoV-2. The primary endpoint for this study and the basis for sample size is hospitalization or death during the 28 day follow-up period. In some locations, special facilities are being built/utilized for quarantine/public health reasons for those who are SARS-Cov-2 positive. Hospitalization is defined as a stay for at least 18 hours, irrespective of reason, at a hospital or one of these special facilities after study enrollment. Secondary outcomes include participant-reported health status and change in severity of dyspnoea.
