There are 197 clinical trials
Non tuberculous mycobacteria (NTM), Burkholdria spp, Aspergillus in the lung are almost impossible to eradicate with conventional antibiotics. In addition COVID-19 has know current treatment. These patients have few options to treat their lung infection. Nitric oxide has broad bactericidal and virucidal properties. It has been shown that nitric oxide was safe to be inhaled for similar cystic fibrosis patients and reduced drug resistant bacteria in the lungs. Further, research indicates that clinical isolates of NTM, Burkholderia spp, Aspergillus spp and Corona-like viruses can be eradicated by 160ppm NO exposure in the laboratory petri dish. This is not the first time inhaled NO treatment has been used in patients with difficult lung infections. This study will provide more data to see if NO therapy can reduce the bacterial load in the lungs, help the patients breath better; and in the case of COVID-19 act as a anti-viral agent resulting in the reduction of incidence of oxygen therapy, mechanical assistance of BIPAP, CPAP, intubation and mechanical ventilation during the study period.

Description: Removal of all oxygen support (with stable SpO2)
Measure: Percent of subjects who Return to Room Air (RTRA) (main study) Time: by Day 28This will be a multistate, multicenter clinical study to determine the efficacy and safety of medical cannabis for a wide variety of chronic medical conditions.
Description: Covid-19 infection rates in cannabis users will be compared to rates in the general population. Our online questionnaire responses will compare infection rates of cannabis users in this study against the Johns Hopkins University Coronavirus Research Center data (https://coronavirus.jhu.edu).
Measure: Prevention of COVID-19 Time: Five yearsDescription: Severity of persistent symptoms in cannabis users testing positive for active infection and/or antibodies will also be compared to the general population. Patients will answer the widely used FLU-PRO questionnaire, which asks about flu symptoms and severity, to capture diagnoses, symptoms, and medical interventions related to COVID-19. The data from cannabis user patients will be compared with national and international data surveys, such as the Covid Symptom Study (https://covid.joinzoe.com/us-2).
Measure: Treatment of COVID-19 Time: Five yearsDescription: The primary objective is to assess the efficacy and safety of medical cannabis as medicine for treatment of chronic pain and other chronic debilitating diseases. Pain will be measured by Brief Pain Inventory (BPI) numeric scale. Change from baseline in BPI will be assessed at 3-month intervals. For prospective associations between cannabis use and outcomes, use of a lagged mixed-effects models will examine temporal associations between cannabis use and pain severity, opioid sparing, and patient satisfaction. Data will be analyzed from baseline and the annual follow-up waves.
Measure: Treatment of Symptoms Time: Five yearsDescription: Secondary objectives include evaluating increases or decreases in quality of life, and increases or decreases in concomitant opioid use. Satisfaction with treatment will be measured by a Visual Analog Score (VAS). Change From baseline in Satisfaction with treatment measured by (VAS) be assessed at 3-month intervals.
Measure: Cannabis Impact on Quality of Life Time: Five yearsDescription: Tertiary objectives will examine preferences for routes of administration, and preferences for THC / CBD ratios. Categorical factors will be summarized using frequencies and percentages, while continuous measure distributions will be described using means, standard deviations, and quartiles of interest.
Measure: Cannabis Route and Dosing Time: Five yearsDescription: Incidence of Treatment-Related Adverse Events will be measured by Physician Global Assessment (PGA) numeric scale. Number of participants with Treatment-Related Adverse Events will be assessed by CTCAE v4.0.
Measure: Monitoring Adverse Events Time: Five yearsLower Respiratory Tract infections are a common cause of admission to the intensive care unit. Children routinely receive antibiotics until the tests confirm whether the infection is bacterial or viral. The exclusion of bacterial infection may take 48 hours or longer for culture tests on biological samples to be completed. In many cases, the results may be inconclusive or negative if the patient has already received antibiotics prior to the sample being taken. A rapid assay to detect the most likely cause of infection could improve the speed with which antibiotic therapy is rationalised or curtailed. This study aims to assess whether a new genetic testing kit which can identify the presence of bacteria and viruses within hours rather than days is a feasible tool in improving antibiotic prescribing and rationalisation of therapy in critically ill children with suspected lower respiratory tract infection.
Description: Performance of novel pathogen detection assays compared to standard microbiology, in regard to sensitivity, specificity and likelihood ratios
Measure: Performance of the novel pathogen detection assay Time: 3 yearsDescription: Time to reportable test results

Since December 2019, there has been an outbreak of novel coronavirus pneumonia in China. As of February 18, 2020, 72,530 cases confirmed with 2019 coronavirus disease(COVID-19) have been reported and 1,870 deaths were declared. Until now, cases of COVID-19 have been reported in 26 countries. This observational study aims to analysis the clinical features of neonates with COVID-19 and the neonates born to mother with COVID-19.
Description: Neonates born to mothers with COVID-19 will be tested for SARS-CoV-2 after birth.Confirmed cases will meet the diagnosed criterion provided by National Health and Health Commission and the Chinese perinatal-neonatal SARS-CoV-2 Committee.

In the present study, three trained professionals examined the children. The results of the DDST could be normal (no delays), suspect (2 or more caution items and/or 1 or more delays), abnormal (2 or more delays) or untestable (refusal of one or more items completely to the left of the age line or more than one item intersected by the age line in the 75-90% area). The children with suspect or abnormal results were retested 2 or 3 weeks later.

Measure: The disease severity of neonates with COVID-19 Time: through study completion, estimated an average of 2 weeksSince Dec 2019, over 70000 novel coronavirus infection pneumonia (NCIP) patients were confirmed. 2019 novel coronavirus (2019 nCoV) is a RNA virus, which spread mainly from person-to-person contact. Most of the symptoms are non-specific, including fever, fatigue, dry cough. Sever NCIP patients may have shortness of breath and dyspnea, and progress to acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) and multiple organ dysfunction syndrome (MODS). The mortality is reported to be around 2.3%. Thus, early detection and early treatment is very important to the improvement of NCIP patients' prognosis. At present, NCIP RNA detection of pharyngeal swab specimen by RT-PCR is recommended. However, due to the universal susceptibility to 2019 nCoV in general population and limited number of NCIP RNA detection kits available, to identify an efficient screening strategy is urgently needed. This study aim to develop and validate the diagnostic accuracy and screening efficiency of a new NCIP screening strategy, which can benefit the disease prevention and control.

Measure: Screening accuracy Time: 1 monthDescription: The costs of the two screening strategies were recorded. Cost-effectiveness analysis were performed and compared.
Measure: Cost-effectiveness analysis Time: 1 monthThe novel coronavirus infectious disease ( COVID-19") induced by novel coronavirus(SARS-CoV-2) in December 2019 has outbreaked in Wuhan. It may lead to epidemic risk in global. As the COVID-19 is an emerging infectious disease, it has not scientifically recognized and has no effective drugs for treatment currently. Therefore, we will launch a scientific project "The efficacy and safety of carrimycin treatment in 520 patients with COVID-19 stratificated clinically: A multicenter, randomized (1:1), open-controlled (one of lopinavir/ritonavir tablets or Arbidol or chloroquine phosphate) study" . We try to establish the criteria for clinical cure and the early predictive model of COVID-19 progression. The primary efficiency outcomes were:(1) Fever to normal time (day); (2) Pulmonary inflammation resolution time (HRCT) (day); and (3)Negative conversion (%) of SARS-CoV-2 RNA at the end of treatment. The secondary efficiency outcomes and adverse events were observed.

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.

Data from China but also systematic samples taken from the passengers of the Diamond Princess boat also report almost 50% of asymptomatic forms of Covid-19. The medical and paramedical staff of the front-line services for the care of patients infected with Covid-19 are in fact potentially exposed to the risk of occupational contamination due to the large number of patients treated, including in the pre-epidemic phase. Therefore, and despite the application of standard protective measures, it is possible that a certain number of these personnel already have or will contract Covid-19 disease, including in its asymptomatic form.

The "Pandemic Research Network (PRN): Duke Community Health Watch" study leverages technology, clinical research, epidemiology, telemedicine, and population health management capabilities to understand how to safely COVID-19. The target population is individuals in the Duke Health region as well as individuals beyond the Duke Health region who have flu-like symptoms, a viral test order for COVID-19, confirmed COVID-19, or concern for exposure to COVID-19. A subgroup of particular interest within the target population is health care workers (HCW) and families of HCW. Community members will enroll in the study electronically and for 28 days will be reminded via email or SMS to submit signs and symptoms related to COVID-19. Participants who report symptoms will be provided information about COVID-19 testing (if needed) and established mechanisms to seek care within Duke Health. Instructions for telemedicine and in-person visits, which is available publicly at https://www.dukehealth.org/covid-19-update, will be presented to participants. Participants who are unable to report symptoms independently may be contacted via telephone by Population Health Management Office (PHMO) or Clinical Events Classification (CEC) team members. Data collected through the "Pandemic Response Network (PRN): Duke Community Health Watch" study will be used for three objectives. - First, to characterize the epidemiological features of COVID-19. Specifically, we will have a high-risk subgroup of HCW and families of HCW that we enroll. - Second, to develop models that predict deterioration and the need for inpatient care, intensive care, and mechanical ventilation. - Third, to develop forecast models to estimate the volume of inpatient and outpatient resources needed to manage a COVID-19 population. The primary risk to study participants is loss of protected health information. To address this concern, all data will be stored in Duke's REDCap instance and the Duke Protected Analytics Compute Environment (PACE).
The COVID-19 outbreak and spread throughout the world now constitutes a global public health emergency. Direct contact between doctors and patients in daily practice bears potential risk of Covid-19 infection, and telemedicine, or non-contact medicine, in this circumstance, offers an ideal solution. Remote controlling capsule endoscopy system for gastric examination was recently developed and applicated in clinical practice.

Measure: Clinical success Time: During the procedureDescription: Adverse events during and after the procedure
Measure: Adverse events Time: During and within 2 weeks after the procedureSARS-CoV-2, one of a family of human coronaviruses, was initially identified in December 2019 in Wuhan city. This new coronavirus causes a disease presentation which has now been named COVID-19. The virus has subsequently spread throughout the world and was declared a pandemic by the World Health Organisation on 11th March 2020. As of 18 March 2020, there are 198,193 number of confirmed cases with an estimated case-fatality of 3%. There is no approved therapy for COVID-19 and the current standard of care is supportive treatment. SARS-CoV-2 exploits the cell entry receptor protein angiotensin converting enzyme II (ACE-2) to access and infect human cells. The interaction between ACE2 and the spike protein is not in the active site. This process requires the serine protease TMPRSS2. Camostat Mesilate is a potent serine protease inhibitor. Utilizing research on severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus (SARS-CoV) and the closely related SARS-CoV-2 cell entry mechanism, it has been demonstrated that SARS-CoV-2 cellular entry can be blocked by camostat mesilate. In mice, camostat mesilate dosed at concentrations similar to the clinically achievable concentration in humans reduced mortality following SARS-CoV infection from 100% to 30-35%.

COVID-19 Viral Global Pandemic resulting in post-infection pulmonary damage, including Fibrotic Lung Disease due to inflammatory and reactive protein secretions damaging pulmonary alveolar structure and functionality. A short review includes: - Early December, 2019 - A pneumonia of unknown cause was detected in Wuhan, China, and was reported to the World Health Organization (WHO) Country Office. - January 30th, 2020 - The outbreak was declared a Public Health Emergency of International Concern. - February 7th, 2020 - 34-year-old Ophthalmologist who first identified a SARS-like coronavirus) dies from the same virus. - February 11th, 2020 - WHO announces a name for the new coronavirus disease: COVID-19. - February 19th, 2020 - The U.S. has its first outbreak in a Seattle nursing home which were complicated with loss of lives.. - March 11th, 2020 - WHO declares the virus a pandemic and in less than three months, from the time when this virus was first detected, the virus has spread across the entire planet with cases identified in every country including Greenland. - March 21st, 2020 - Emerging Infectious Disease estimates the risk for death in Wuhan reached values as high as 12% in the epicenter of the epidemic and ≈1% in other, more mildly affected areas. The elevated death risk estimates are probably associated with a breakdown of the healthcare system, indicating that enhanced public health interventions, including social distancing and movement restrictions, should be implemented to bring the COVID-19 epidemic under control." March 21st 2020 -Much of the United States is currently under some form of self- or mandatory quarantine as testing abilities ramp up.. March 24th, 2020 - Hot spots are evolving and identified, particularly in the areas of New York-New Jersey, Washington, and California. Immediate attention is turned to testing, diagnosis, epidemiological containment, clinical trials for drug testing started, and work on a long-term vaccine started. The recovering patients are presenting with mild to severe lung impairment as a result of the viral attack on the alveolar and lung tissues. Clinically significant impairment of pulmonary function appears to be a permanent finding as a direct result of the interstitial lung damage and inflammatory changes that accompanied. This Phase 0, first-in-kind for humans, is use of autologous, cellular stromal vascular fraction (cSVF) deployed intravenously to examine the anti-inflammatory and structural potential to improve the residual, permanent damaged alveolar tissues of the lungs.

Coronavirus 2019 (COVID-19) is a respiratory tropism virus transmitted through droplets emitted into the environment of infected persons. The symptoms can be extremely varied and the course can range from spontaneous healing without sequelae to death. Currently, the diagnosis of certainty for resuscitation patients (by definition "severe") is based on searching for a fragment of virus genetic material within the epithelial cells of the respiratory tree, up and/or down, by PCR. It is to be expected that the epidemic peak will make it difficult (if not impossible) to respect the stereotypical path that is currently in place, due to the lack of space in the specific unit. This will require optimization of care pathways and use of the specific sectors. It is therefore necessary to define the simple criteria, available from the moment patients are admitted, to predict the result of the COVID-19 PCR.

The clinical presentations are variable widely, ranging from simple rhinitis to major lung damage that can lead to death. In many countries involved in the ongoing health disaster due to SARS-CoV-2 infection, hospital are overloaded. In this context, the decision to hospitalize or to manage COVID-19 patients at home is crucial and defining reliable and consensual criteria is a major issue. HOME-CoV study is a multicentre quasi-experimental interventional study, before and after implementation of a help-decision making rule (HOME-CoV rule), developed via the Delphi method. Our main hypothesis is that a strategy based on the consensual HOME-CoV rule compared to current practice is at least as safe as regards the 7-day-rate of adverse events (safety criterion) and more effective as regards the rate of patients eventually managed as outpatients (efficacy criterion).

Measure: The rate of hospitalization Time: 24 hoursSince December 2019, a new agent, the SARS-Cov-2 coronavirus has been rapidly spreading from China to other countries causing an international outbreak of respiratory illnesses named COVID-19. In France, the first cases have been reported at the end of January with more than 60000 cases reported since then. A significant proportion (20-30%) of hospitalized COVID-19 patients will be admitted to intensive care unit. However, few data are available for this special population in France. We conduct a large observational cohort of ICU suspected or proven COVID-19 patients that will enable to describe the initial management of COVID 19 patients admitted to ICU and to identify factors correlated to clinical outcome.

SARS-CoV-2 causes an acute and potentially lethal respiratory illness, known as COVID-19, that is threatening to overwhelm health care systems due to a dramatic surge in hospitalized and critically ill patients. Patients hospitalized with COVID-19 typically have been symptomatic for 5-7 days prior to admission, indicating that there is a window during which an effective intervention could significantly alter the course of illness, lessen disease spread, and alleviate the stress on hospital resources. There is no known treatment for COVID-19, though in vitro and one poorly controlled study have identified a potential antiviral activity for HCQ. The rationale for this clinical trial is to measure the efficacy and safety of hydroxychloroquine for reducing viral load and shedding in adult outpatients with confirmed COVID-19.
Blood samples from participants who have recovered from COVID-19 infection will be obtained and studied. The goal of the research is to identify antibodies that have been generated by the patient to fight the COVID-19 infection. By identifying the most effective antibodies, scientists can make specific antibodies to use to prevent future coronavirus outbreaks or to treat patients with severe disease.
Description: The blood specimen will be proceeded into peripheral blood mononuclear cells and plasma to be stored for testing. In brief, CD27+ memory B cells that can bind to a SARS-CoV-2 S protein bait will be sorted by flow cytometry and RNA will be extracted to obtain heavy and light chain sequences. Antibody sequences will be annotated using bioinformatics approaches, and candidate sequences will be cloned. Purified antibodies will be characterized and neutralization breadth and potency against SARS-CoV-2 and other related coronaviruses will be assessed using neutralization assays.
Measure: Number of antibodies against coronaviruses isolated and identified from patient samples Time: Up to 12 months after collection visitThis is a multi-centre population-based follow-up study for all 504 patients with laboratory-confirmed COVID-19. This study establishes a standardized and structured clinical database to provide complete and multidimensional clinical diagnosis and treatment data of novel coronavirus pneumonia, which also support future epidemiological, infectious disease study and patients' prognosis, by collecting clinical data and the related data of patients with novel coronavirus pneumonia in Southern Zhejiang province.

If certain biological factors like troponin, BNP (Brain Natriuretic Peptid), or clinical factors like cardiovascular history or oncological history are associated with a worse prognosis, available data comes from studies in Asia for the majority, or including a limited number of patients. Patient stratification remains a major issue for patient sorting and early referral of patients.

Measure: Construction of a predictive score for COVID-19 severe form Time: Through study completion, an average of 4 weeksIntensive action has been taken around the globe to fight the corona virus SARS-COV-2 (COVID-19) pandemia. Clinical symptoms of the infection appear to be variable, from basically asymptomatic infections and mild, flu-like symptoms up to severe respiratory insufficiency, requiring mechanical ventilation at the intensive care unit, and death. Broad testing for COVID-19 infection has been proven difficult in clinical practice and hampered by limited resources. Urgently needed epidemiological data on the rate of silent, asymptomatic infections in the population and the percentage of individuals that have already developed immunity are still missing. Within this study we therefore plan to (i) determine the proportion of asymptomatic COVID-19 virus carriers in (a) German Cancer Research Center (DKFZ) employees, who work and are present at the center during the time of extended minimum operation and (b) in all DKFZ employees before onboarding when extended minimum operation has been terminated. We plan to (ii) develop a high-throughput assay for COVID-19 testing as well as (iii) a serum-based COVID-19 antibody assay. Finally, we will (iv) analyze for a possible correlation between oral microbiome and COVID-19 infection status.
This study aims to evaluate the experience of Alberta patients with inflammatory arthritis who participate in the the RAPPORT-ONTRAAC registry during the COVID-19 pandemic, specifically comparing the experience of those taking anti-malarial medications compared to those who do not. This registry includes approximately 2500 northern Alberta patients with inflammatory arthritis who receive highly complex therapies which may be associated with side effects. This program of data collection and research has been evaluating the effectiveness and safety as well as associated health care costs of rheumatoid and psoriatic arthritis patients since 2004. The principle investigators are based at the University of Alberta while the co-investigators are academic rheumatologists at the University of Alberta. The registry has approximately 900 patients taking anti-malarials combined with their complex therapies and ~ 1500 not on anti-malarials in combination with their complex therapies. We aim to perform a case control study evaluating the impact of anti-malarial drugs (eg. hydroxychloroquine and chloroquine) on the development of COVID-19 compared to those patients who are not on anti-malarial drugs over the next 6-12 months. In addition to frequent e-mail surveys screening for the clinical symptoms of COVID-19 and understanding their concomitant arthritis medication use, we will compare the healthcare outcomes of both groups of arthritis patients with and without COVID-19 for the duration of the pandemic. This information will provide critical information beyond an anecdotal level on whether or not anti-malarials truly provide a protective benefit against COVID-19 or reduce the severity of infection. A blood sample from all participants (Covid-19 positive and negative) will be drawn approximately six months into the study for measurement of antibodies to Covid-19 and possible blood types and HLA alleles. Additionally, this study will be linked to another study "Persistence of SARS-Cov2 in immunocompromised patients" which will specifically evaluate COVID-19 serology and nasopharyngeal swab findings in the subset of patients who develop COVID-19.

Measure: Documentation of natural course and the therapeutic landscape of patients with COVID-19. Time: 2 yearsCoronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2) poses a significant threat to global health. As the disease progresses, a series of acute complications tend to develop in multiple organs. Beyond the supportive care, no specific treatment has been established for COVID-19. The effectiveness, both short-term and long-term, of some promising antivirals, such as the hydroxychloroquine combination with azithromycin, needs to be evaluated. This study aims to investigate the predictive role of cardiac biomarkers and pulmonary symptoms for late complications of COVID-19 coronavirus infection on the heart and lung in patients treated with the hydroxychloroquine / azithromycin combination therapy. Thus, COVID-19 coronavirus patients undergoing hydroxychloroquine / azithromycin combination therapy will be compared to patients not undergoing this therapy. The comparison will be made by the analysis of the relationships between (1) levels of ultrasensitive cardiac troponins collected at the beginning of the infection and cardiac magnetic resonance data in the 3rd and 12th months of troponin collection and (2) findings CT scans and the results of the ergospirometers tests performed in those same periods. It is expected to demonstrate that: (1) cardiac troponin and lung tomographic findings can predict late complications of COVID-19 coronavirus infection in the heart and lung, assessed by cardiac magnetic resonance and ergospirometers one year after the beginning of the infection, and (2) hydroxychloroquine / azithromycin combined therapy can abolish the onset of these complications late. Furthermore, the results may point to the need for more rigorous monitoring of cardiologists and pulmonologists of these patients, due to the risk of hemodynamic complications, arrhythmogenic and respiratory.

In the past three months, the virus has spread rapidly worldwide to reach the pandemic threshold. Research has since been carried out and is intensifying in order to describe the clinical characteristics of infected patients, to identify the prognostic factors of acute respiratory distress syndrome [ARDS] and the death; and to assess the effectiveness of new antivirals and therapeutic strategies to treat COVID-19. Treatments currently being investigated include: - Potentially effective treatments: (hydroxy)chloroquine, Remdesivir, Lopinavir, Ritonavir +/- IFN-ß-1a (currently evaluated in the European discovery trial), methylprednisolone in patients with ARDS; - Potentially harmful treatments: antihypertensives such as converting enzyme inhibitors and angiotensin receptor antagonists. We made the hypothesis that (1) patients receiving ARBs or ACEi's have a higher risk to present a serious COVID-19 infection disease and (2) patients receiving synthetic AMD (e.g. HCQ and CQ) have a lower risk to present a serious covid19 infection disease. Using data from the French insurance health database (SNDS) and hospital discharge database (PMSI), our objectives are - Main objective: To assess the risk of moderate to serious COVID-19 infections in patients using synthetic anti-malarial drugs (AMD) or anti-hypertensive drugs (Angiotensin receptor-blocking/Angiotensin-converting-enzyme inhibitors). - Secondary objective : To examine the risk of moderate to serious COVID-19 infections according of age, sex, co-morbidities, level of exposure of AMD, geographical locations and underlying comorbidities. This in order to: - To prevent moderate to serious COVID-19 infections in at-risk population (diabetes, elderly, respiratory failure population) using synthetic AMD. - To prevent moderate to serious COVID-19 infections in at-risk population stopping angiotensin receptor-blocking and angiotensin-converting-enzyme inhibitors.

Patient are being asked to provide respiratory and blood samples for a clinical research study because the patients have a virus called the novel coronavirus, or SARS-CoV-2, that causes the disease known as Covid-19. Investigators do not know a lot about this virus, including all the ways it travels from person to person. Investigators also do not know if a person will get sick or not from the virus after being in close contact with someone who has the virus. Because of this, investigators are performing research on the virus found in respiratory secretions to get more information on how investigators can best detect and treat this new virus in the future.

In adults, several evolutionary patterns are observed: i) a/pauci-symptomatic forms; ii) severe forms immediately linked to rare extensive viral pneumonia; and iii) forms of moderate severity, some of which progress to secondary aggravation (Day 7-Day 10). Children can be affected, but are more rarely symptomatic and severe pediatric forms are exceptional. Like some other coronaviruses (SARS-CoV and Middle East respiratory syndrome coronavirus (MERS-CoV)), these differences in clinical expression could be based on a variability in the immunological response, notably either via inhibition of the type I interferon (IFN-I) response, or on the contrary an immunological dysregulation responsible for a "cytokine storm" associated with the aggravation. Little is known about the impact of these innate immune response abnormalities on the adaptive response. In addition, certain genetic factors predisposing to a state of "hyper-fragility" and certain viral virulence factors could also be predictive of the clinical response. In this context, the main hypothesis is that the virological analysis and the initial biological and immunological profiles are correlated with the initial clinical presentation of COVID-19 infection. In particular, children forms and pauci-symptomatic disease in adults may be linked to a more robust innate immune response, including better production of IFN-I.

Interferon alpha is a protein important for defense against viruses. It activates immune responses that help to clear viral infection. Rintatolimod is double stranded ribonucleic acid (RNA) designed to mimic viral infection by stimulating immune pathways that are normally activated during viral infection. Giving rintatolimod and interferon alpha-2b may activate the immune system to limit the replication and spread of the virus.

During this time, patients will be monitored for adverse events. Additional time will be required for follow up (until hospital discharge) in order to check side effects and study drug efficacy. Placebo, composed of the same solvent but without active ingredients, will be given in the placebo group as add-on therapy, 2 times a day, on Days 1 and 2. Overall rationale A preparation of ArtemiC, comprising Artemisinin, Curcumin, Boswellia, and Vitamin C in a nanoparticular formulation, is proposed as a treatment for the disease associated with the novel corona virus SARS-CoV-2. It is readily available in light of its status as a food supplement. This initiative is presented under the urgent circumstances of the fulminant pandemic caused by this lethal disease, which is known as COVID-19 and has spread across the globe causing death and disrupting the normal function of modern society. The grounds for the proposal are rooted in existing knowledge on the components and pharmacological features of this formulation and their relevance to the current understanding of the disease process being addressed. Leading among these considerations are well established immuno-modulatory activities of the active ingredients as established in vitro and in vivo and published over the years. These activities as apparent, for example, in diminishing activity of TNF alpha and IL-6 levels are acknowledged to be relevant to the pathophysiology processes involved in the progressive form of COVID-19. The active agents have in addition prominent anti-oxidant, anti-inflammatory as well as anti-aggregant and anti-microbial activities. Based on these activities and observations in animal models, together with clinical experience of the separate ingredients and in various combinations in other contexts it is proposed to evaluate their effect in the context of COVID-19. Study Purpose This study is designed to evaluate the safety and efficacy of ArtemiC on patients diagnosed with COVID-19. Methodology 50 adult patients who suffer from COVID-19 infection studied in parallel groups treated with active agent or placebo as add on to standard care. Safety will be assessed through collection and analysis of adverse events, blood and urine laboratory assessments and vital signs.

It is recommended that elective endoscopies should be deferred during the COVID-19 outbreak for the potential transmission between patients and medical staff in the statements of Asian Pacific Society for Digestive Endoscopy (APSDE-COVID statements). Therefore, exploring an alternative for patients with the requirements of endoscopy during the outbreak is of great importance. Herein,the investigators developed an novel non-contact magnetically-controlled capsule endoscopy (Nc-MCE) system (Figure 1) adds a remote control workstation and a audio-visual exchange system to the original well-established MCE system. This study was a open-label, prospective, randomized controlled study approved by the institutional review board of Shanghai Changhai Hospital. It was designed to evaluate the diagnostic utility, safety, feasibility and patients acceptability of Nc-MCE in patients with an indication of endoscopy, and comparing it with the result of MCE.

This task is difficult and nearly impossible for several reasons: respiratory and hemodynamic unstable patient, prone position and due to the high contagious nature of the disease. The lung ultrasound is an easy tool, fast (between 5 and 10 minutes) and as a limited training. In the context of the Sars-Cov2 epidemic, Buonsenso and al case report depict the first lung ultrasound for a Covid 19 patient. Peng and al in Intensive Care Medicine accentuate the usefulness of this particular technic. In the American Journal of Respiratory and Critical Care Medicine, a study has been published as a point-of-care, in which the doctors reported using the lung ultrasound with intensive and critical care patient. In Critical Care 2016, it has been showed that ultrasound allowed with neat precisions, to predict severe ARDS patient response to the prone position, all-cause. Another researchers team found a good correlation between lung ultrasound, the SOFA, APACHE II, CPIS score, and patient mortality. And a new applicability in the pulmonary recruitment by PEEP titration has been presented. The aim of this study is to evaluate the lung ultrasound in Covid19 ARDS.

This is a clinical trial aiming to prove that addition of oral clarithromycin to treatment regimen of COVID-19 is associated with early clinical improvement and attenuation of the high inflammatory burden of the host. The study will not comprise a placebo-comparator group since this is considered inappropriate in an era of a pandemic with substantial global mortality.

Measure: Change of the IL-10/TNFα ratio between days 1 and 8 Time: Day 1 to Day 8In December 2019, Coronavirus infection (COVID-19) was identified as causing serious respiratory infection in humans. Initially COVID-19 was propagated by infected symptomatic individuals; currently the disease is disseminated by asymptomatic COVID-19 positive subjects. The prevalence of asymptomatic COVID-19 individuals is unknown. Due its physiologic immune suppression, pregnancy is a vulnerable time for severe respiratory infections including COVID-19. Limited information is available regarding the impact of COVID-19 in pregnancy and the prevalence and demographic profile of asymptomatic pregnant women. Despite reports of 15-20% positive COVID-19 tests in women admitted to Labor and Delivery, professional obstetric medical societies still recommend not prioritizing testing of patients who are asymptomatic. In the USA, COVID-19 symptomatic patients come predominantly from lower income, Black and Latino communities. No data are available on the rate and demographic distribution of asymptomatic positive COVID-19 pregnant women. To minimize the risk of inadvertent exposure asymptomatic individuals, recently our institution started COVID-19 testing in all admitted pregnant women. The investigators expect to gain knowledge on the impact of COVID-19 in pregnant women especially if asymptomatic and compare to other respiratory infections.

Ozone therapy has become o promising tool for both prevention and treatment of COVID-19 infection by various possible mechanisms. The oxidative stress created by ozone in the body to stimulate the peripheral phagocytic cells, activate the antioxidant system, and restore the immune system is thought to be effective for the prevention of COVID-19 infection. In recent years, ozone therapy has become a popular alternative method for chronic pain management of various diseases such as fibromyalgia, knee osteoarthritis, and rheumatic diseases. As a result of this, there were many individuals who had received ozone therapy before the outbreak of COVID-19. This study aimed to investigate the preventive effect of ozone therapy against COVID-19 infection in these individuals.
Description: It involved questions about age, gender, height, weight, occupation, comorbidities, and concurrent medications, in addition to a detailed query for COVID-19 infection
Measure: The survey that was taken by telephone calls Time: Day 0Professionals and residents of nursing homes are one of the most vulnerable groups in this public health crisis of COVID-19, since they have the highest rate of positives for COVID-19, despite the restriction measures carried out, such as prohibition of family visits to these centers, the infection occurs by cross transmission with the care staff of the centers, or with other residents. At the moment, there are no clinical trials to test the hypothesis that hydroxychloroquine is effective in coronavirus treatment. Although what has been observed is a better prognosis in infected patients, since this drug inhibits the replication of the virus and its expansion to other tissues. This study is a clinical trial to test the effectiveness of hydroxychloroquine as a preventive drug for SARS-CoV-2 infection. This drug will be applied to 1050 people residing in nursing home care and 880 professionals who work in close contact with these people and who have not yet contracted the infection. This project will be carried out in the territories of Madrid, Navarra, Aragon and Andalusia (Spain). Hydroxychloroquine is a widely known drug that is used in two scenarios, against autoimmune diseases, such as lupus or rheumatoid arthritis, and as an antimalarial drug. It is also intended to demonstrate that the presumed reduction in viral load that would be obtained with hydroxychloroquine prophylaxis, would have no effect in development of immunity against the virus. This fact can create a new paradigm for the de-escalation of the confinement to which the population has been subjected to stop the virus spread, allowing the development of general immunity in controlled populations until reaching total immunity. In addition to testing the effect of this drug, a non-pharmacological intervention based on a safety record will be tested in the management of infection on nursing home, to assess its effectiveness in detecting risk areas or bad practices carried out in this vulnerable environment. The study is led by researchers of the Institute of Biomedicine of Malaga (Spain), and has obtained a financing of 1,024,199 euros from Carlos III Health Institute (Spain). The period of execution of the clinical trial is one year, and with this intervention, the intention is to reduce cross-infection in residents by a minimum threshold of 15%, as well as to decrease infection in the professionals.

To date, no treatment has been shown to be effective in controlling this disease in hospitalized patients with moderate and / or severe cases of this disease. Hydroxychloroquine and lopinavir / ritonavir have been shown to inhibit SARS-CoV viral replication in experimental severe acute respiratory symptoms models and have similar activity against SARS-CoV2.

Under normal circumstances, staff may acquire and transmit infections, but the health impact of within hospital infection is greatest in vulnerable patients. For the novel coronavirus that causes COVID-19, like recent outbreaks such as the SARS and Ebola virus, the risk of within hospital spread of infection presents an additional, significant health risk to healthcare workers. Infection Prevention and Control (IPC) teams within hospitals engage in practices that minimise the number of infections acquired within hospital. This includes surveillance of infection spread, and proactively leading on training to clinical and other hospital teams. There is now good evidence that genome sequencing of epidemic viruses such as that which causes COVID-19, together with standard IPC, more effectively reduces within hospital infection rates and may help identify the routes of transmission, than just existing IPC practice. It is proposed to evaluate the benefit of genome sequencing in this context, and whether rapid (24-48h) turnaround on the data to IPC teams has an impact on that level of benefit. The study team will ask participating NHS hospitals to collect IPC information as per usual practice for a short time to establish data for comparison. Where patients are confirmed to have a COVID-19 infection thought to have been transmitted within hospital, their samples will be sequenced with data fed back to hospital teams during the intervention phase. A final phase without the intervention may take place for additional information on standard IPC practice when the COVID-19 outbreak is at a low level nationwide.

Measure: Association of LUS to clinical parameters Time: 3 weeksDescription: Description of quality and distribution pattern of LUS-findings in patients with different severities of Covid-19
Measure: Description of findings on LUS Time: 3 weeksAlthough SARS-CoV-2 (Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome-associated coronavirus) due to COVID-19 evolves poorly towards ARDS (Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome) and death, there is to date no validated drug available for severe forms of COVID-19. Patients with COVID-19 undergo a drastic decrease of T lymphocytes (LT) count, while the remaining ones display an "exhausted" phenotype, due to immunosuppressive pathway activation among which the Programed cell Death 1 (PD1) receptor pathways. LT exhaustion is responsible for host anergy towards viral infection and leads to increased risk of severe forms of COVID-19. Moreover, while the number of systemic LT PD1+ correlates with poor prognosis clinical stages of COVID-19 infection, healing from COVID-19 associates with LT PD1 expression normalization. Chinese epidemiologic data identified clinical risk factors of poor clinical evolution (i.e. ARDS or death), among which is found obesity, similarly to observation previously obtained during H1N1 infection (flu virus). Obese persons display meta-inflammation and immune dysfunction, a condition similar to ageing, thus termed "Inflamm-aging", thus also used during obesity. Inflamm-aging, characterized by cytotoxic LT exhaustion and reduced NK cell (Natural Killer cell) cytotoxic function secondary to PD1 pathway activation, could contribute to the poor prognosis observed during cancer and infection in obese individuals. We hypothesize that the immunocompromised profile observed during obesity contribute to their vulnerability towards COVID-19. In cancer or certain infection diseases, NIVOLUMAB, an anti-PD1 monoclonal antibody, restores exhausted LT immunity. We thus hypothesize that NIVOLUMAB-induced immunity normalization could (i) stimulate anti-viral response also during COVID-19 infection and (ii) prevent ARDS development, which has previously been associated with low LT count concomitant with increased inflammatory cytokine production. This randomized controlled therapeutic trial, using an add-on strategy to usual standard of care, aims at demonstrating the efficacy and safety of NIVOLUMAB-induced cytotoxic LT normalization, to improve clinical outcomes in hospitalized COVID-19+ adult obese individuals with low LT, since they are at risk of poor prognosis. We postulate that NIVOLUMAB will increase the number of individuals able to stop oxygen therapy at D15

Description: The QT interval measurement will be performed on the available 12-lead ECG from the medical record. The QT interval will be measured according to the recommendations of the scientific societies of cardiology: it is considered from the beginning of the activation of the ventricular myocardium and the end of its repolarization, which are represented in the ECG respectively by the beginning of the QRS and the end of the T wave. Ideally, the QT interval should be measured in Q-wave leads in DII and V5. An average value of 3 heart cycles (beats) should be recorded. Two researchers to control inter-observer variability will perform the measurement.

Time: 56 daysThis is a prospective observational cohort study that will define the prevalence and incidence of CA-SARS-Cov2 infection using serological and PCR tests in a group of subjects during deconfinement. The team wishes to include approximately 1000 subjects in this study. The health crisis through containment has also created unprecedented environmental conditions with the very clear decrease in economic activities and a consequent decrease in exposure to the main air pollutants. The aim is therefore to carry out a case-control study in which each subject will be his or her own control in unexposed condition (to PM2.5, PM10, NO...) then exposed (after the recovery of economic activity and the usual levels of air pollutants) and to measure the impact of these pollutants on the immune system and epigenetic markers taking into account seasonality. The occurrence of infectious, cardiovascular, allergic and autoimmune events will then be measured according to the immunological profiles measured at inclusion.
Description: number of positive serologies
Measure: positive serologies Time: 12 monthsThe aim of this study is to investigate whether vaccination of elderly with VPM1002 could reduce hospital admissions and/or severe respiratory infectious diseases in the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic . VPM1002 is a vaccine that is a further development of the old Bacillus Calmette-Guérin (BCG) vaccine, which has been used successfully as a vaccine against tuberculosis for about 100 years, especially in developing countries. VPM1002 has been shown in various clinical studies to be significantly safer than the BCG vaccine. VPM1002 strengthens the body's immune defence and vaccination with BCG reduces the frequency of respiratory diseases. It is therefore assumed that a VPM1002 vaccination could also provide (partial) protection against COVID-19 disease caused by the "new corona virus" SARS-CoV 2.
This is an open label randomised controlled study of oral ivermectin (600 mcg/kg/d* 3 day) versus combined of hydroxychloroquine plus darunavir/ ritonavir for 5 days treatment among asymptomatic carrier of SAR-CoV2 adult Thai population. Outcomes include safety and duration of detectable of SAR-CoV2 in nasopharyngeal/ throat (NP) swab by polymerase chain reaction amplification (PCR) after treatment. 40-50 patients in each treatment arm is planned, with an interim analysis when approximately 50% of cases is enrolled.

Measure: Antibody detection rates Time: weekly after treatment until 4th weekBacille Calmette-Guerin (BCG) is a live attenuated vaccine administered for prevention of tuberculosis. Recently, several groups have hypothesized that BCG may "train" the immune system to respond to a variety of unrelated infections, including viruses and in particular the coronavirus responsible for COVID-19. Trials are currently being conducted in Australia, Netherlands, Germany and the United Kingdom to evaluate its effectiveness. Front line workers includes members of municipal and provincial police services, emergency medical personnel, firefighters, public transport employees, health service workers and food manufacturing employees. They are at high risk of infection from COVID-19, with potentially high infection rate. The investigators propose an interventional trial to evaluate the effectiveness of BCG vaccination to prevent COVID-19 infection and reduce its severity in front-line employees in Ontario.

The COVID-19 pandemic has altered the manner in which emergency department triage is completed. Attempts at cohorting individuals with potential COVID-19 disease in order to prevent disease transmission to healthcare workers and minimize the use of personal protective equipment (PPE) have renewed interest in telemedical solutions as a method to triage and manage individuals with COVID-19. This investigation deploys a legged robotic platform to facilitate agile, highly mobile telemedicine to manage COVID-19 patients in the emergency department. The primary objective is to measure the patient response to interacting with these systems.

During the SARS-CoV-2 outbreak, the diagnosis of pneumonia has become considerably more complex as the biological, radiological and clinical criteria of covid-19 interfere with the standard criteria for the diagnosis of severe respiratory diseases. Moreover, patients with COVID-19 are at higher risk of developing other associated infections and thus, patients have therefore often been treated with antibiotics, adequately or not, due to difficulty to quickly identify the etiology of their symptoms with conventional methods. In order to improve their treatment, both diagnostic and therapeutic, we set up a new syndromic molecular test in our laboratories to accelerate and improve the pneumonia management and antibiotic stewardship. This research will include 100 to 150 adult patients hospitalized in ICU during the first half of 2020. It will take place within the Nancy University Hospital and the Reims University Hospital, France.

Coronaviruses (CoV) belong to a family of viruses that predominately infect mammals and birds, affecting their lungs, intestinal tract, liver and nervous systems. Prior to the discovery of the current novel coronavirus strain (SARS-CoV-2), there were six different strains that are known to infect humans, which includes the virus that caused the severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) pandemic in 2002. In humans, the majority of severe illness from SARs and COVID-19 is due to inflammation of the lungs and pneumonia. Pregnancy poses a significantly increased risk of viral pneumonia and during SARS more pregnant women required intensive care and breathing support, and the proportion of deaths was higher when compared to non-pregnant adults. Furthermore, kidney failure and development of abnormal blood clotting disorders, which occurs during severe infection, is more common in pregnancy and the associated changes in blood vessels extend to the placentas of infected pregnant women, thus potentially affecting the fetus. This makes pregnant women affected by the virus at high risk of developing severe complications. Fortunately, there have been a number of biomarkers identified that are associated with illness severity. These include, specialised white blood cells, blood clotting cells and constituents, as well as other measures of heart and kidney function. We propose that these biomarkers are important correlates of clinical disease severity and prognosis in pregnant and postnatal women. This knowledge has the potential to help clinicians during this pandemic to better manage and care for their patients.

It is a highly contagious viral disease, the condition of which main clinical symptoms are characterized by fever and respiratory symptoms. Evidence indicates to worse outcomes in patients with pre-existing diseases, such as diabetes, arterial hypertension, heart disease, pneumopathies, chronic kidney disease, and immunodeficiencies. Recipients of kidney transplants make prolonged use of immunosuppressive drugs to inhibit the acquired immune response, notably the activity of lymphocytes. Due to this potential to modulate the immune and inflammatory response, it is speculated that the clinical and laboratory condition of COVID-19 in these patients is atypical. Preliminary evidence suggests worse outcomes of COVID-19 in immunosuppressed patients, as carriers of cancer. However, information on kidney transplant recipients is insufficient. So far, only reports of the case are available in the literature with different clinical presentations and outcomes. The aim of this study is, therefore, to characterize the demographics, clinical and laboratory conditions, and the outcomes of COVID-19 in kidney transplant recipients in a national multicenter cohort.

The objective of this study is to understand whether and to what degree anti-SARS-CoV-2 antibodies mitigate the risk of subsequent SARS-CoV-2 infection and COVID disease within the ESKD population.
The purpose of this study is to collect genomic and clinical data among a cohort of hemodialysis patients and analyze the association between genetic markers and the development and severity of illness in response to SARS-CoV-2.
Plasma from patients who have recovered from coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is referred to as COVID-19 convalescent plasma (CCP), and may contain antibodies against SARS-CoV-2, the virus responsible for COVID-19. CCP infusion is being evaluated as a therapeutic or prophylactic approach in COVID-19 patients. The goal of this study is to help develop a bank of convalescent plasma in California, especially in medically underserved communities particularly affected by the disease. In parallel, CCP administered to COVID-19 patients will be collected and analyzed to determine whether the antibody profile correlates with clinical outcome.

The prevalence of seropositivity following SARS-CoV 2 infection might have its own potential benefits in terms of predicting the end of pandemic and the validity of herd immunity. It is not clear if SARS-CoV 2 infection would have a long-lasting antibody-mediated immunity, and if the antibodies' persistence is dependent on disease severity.depends on the severity of illness. If evidence is provided about the persistence of antibodies that is reflective of the protective immune response, serodiagnosis will be an important tool to identify individuals with various risk for infection, and those who are in need of receiving the forthcoming vaccines. The here proposed prospective clinical study will test the prevalence of seropositivity following SARS-CoV 2 infection in critically ill patients compared to those who do not require intensive care unit (ICU) admission or invasive ventilation with respect to the IgM and IgG levels.

The purpose of this study is to better understand the effects of COVID-19 on the lungs and other organs. The study investigators have developed new techniques in Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) to scan the lungs, heart, brain and liver. The study investigators hope to learn more about how the virus causes inflammation in these organs and how this inflammation changes over time as people recover from COVID-19 illness. The study aims to enroll 228 people in Alberta. Participants will undergo one or more MRI scans and have blood testing at one or more time points to assess for inflammation, kidney function, liver function and possible heart injury. Participants will also undergo testing to assess sense of smell, cognition (thinking and memory), spirometry (breathing test for lung function) and and exercise tolerance (walk test). The study investigators hope this study will help us learn more about the long-term risks of COVID-19 disease.

Risk factors for a poor outcome of COVID-19 have so far been identified as older age and co-morbidity including chronic respiratory conditions such as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and current smoking status. Previous studies found, that vitamin D deficiency is more prevalent among patients with these risk factors. There are observational studies reporting independent associations between low serum concentrations of 25-hydroxyvitamin D (the major circulating vitamin D metabolite) and susceptibility to acute respiratory tract infection. Vitamin D substitution in patients with COVID-19 who show a vitamin D deficiency should therefore be investigated for efficacy and safety. The study is designed as a randomized, placebo-controlled, double blind study. The objective of the study is to test the hypothesis that patients with vitamin D deficiency suffering from COVID-19 treated under standardized conditions in hospital will recover faster when additionally treated with a single high dose of vitamin D compared to standard treatment only.

Especially, the elderly people are more vulnerable to be infected by influenza, but also RSV. The recent COVID-19 pandemic and eventually a next wave, will increase the prevalence of influenza like and respiratory symptoms. Method: A multicentre non-commercial cohort study will be conducted in nursing home staff and residents during the Winter season 2020-2021. Objectives: Primary objective is the difference in incidence of influenza like and respiratory symptoms between cases (cases have evidence of past infection with SARS-CoV-2, referred to as Covid +) and controls (controls have no evidence of previous infection and are referred to as Covid -). The primary outcome analysis as well as the secondary outcome analyses will use two strata: nursing home staff and nursing home residents. The secondary objectives are the difference in incidence of COVID-19, influenza, RSV infections confirmed by PCR between cases and controls, to define a correlate of protection in the covid + group against re-infection with SARS-CoV-2 based on the study of the pre-existing antibody profile (antigen specificity, antibody type and antibody level) at the time of re-exposure. A multiplex assay will be used to assess the antibody profile. Finally, to study the COVID-19 disease severity (7 point WHO ordinal scale, this includes a.o. hospitalisation, mechanical ventilation need and ICU admission, mortality) based on the presence/absence of pre-existing antibodies and the pre-existing antibody profile. For other respiratory infections we will study the need for hospitalization and mortality.
Description: This study will assess the time to the occurrence of influenza-like illness (ILI) or acute respiratory infection (ARI) in subjects previously COVID+ compared to subjects known as COVID- (controls), more specifically subjects will belong to two subgroups: nursing home residents (65+) and nursing home staff (18-65y). COVID+ is defined as a past SARS-CoV-2 infection.
Measure: Time to occurrence of ILI and ARI both in participants previously exposed to SARS-COV-2 and controls Time: up to 8 monthsDescription: Disease severity will be measured by hospitalization and mortality
Measure: Correlation of the pre-existing antibody characteristics for COVID-19 with disease severity. Time: up to 8 monthsSARS-CoV-2 infection seems to induce in most critical cases an excessive and aberrant hyper-inflammatory host immune response that is associated with a so-called "cytokine storm", moreover pro-thrombotic derangements of haemostatic system is another common finding in most severe forms of COVID19 infections, which may be explained by the activation of coagulative cascade primed by inflammatory stimuli, in line with what is observed in many other forms of sepsis. Targeting inflammatory responses exploiting steroids' anti-inflammatory activity along with thrombosis prevention may be a promising therapeutic option to improve patients' outcome. Despite the biological plausibility, no good evidence is available on the efficacy and safety of heparin on sepsis patients, and many issues have to be addressed, regarding the proper timing, dosages and administration schedules of anticoagulant drugs. The primary objective is to assess the hypothesis that an adjunctive therapy with steroids and unfractionated heparin (UFH) or with steroids and low molecular weight heparin (LMWH) are more effective in reducing any-cause mortality in critically-ill patients with pneumonia from COVID- 19 infection compared to low molecular weight heparin (LMWH) alone. Mortality will be measured at 28 days. The study is designed as a multicenter, national, interventional, randomized, investigator sponsored, three arms study. Patients, who satisfy all inclusion criteria and no exclusion criteria, will be randomly assigned in a ratio 1:1:1 to one of the three treatment groups: LMWH group, LMWH+steroids or UFH+steroid group. A possible result showing the efficacy of the composite treatment in reducing the mortality rate among critically ill patients with pneumonia from COVID-19 infection will lead to a revision of the current clinical approach to this disease.

The investigators will assess this by conducting repeated surveys among students at universities and university colleges in Norway, where some instruction is given in-person, and some is provided online (hybrid model). The investigators will ask about the students' COVID-19 status, and how much in-person and online instruction the students are getting. The investigators will estimate the association between in-person instruction and COVID-19-risk using multivariate regression, controlling for likely confounders. The investigators will also assess whether type of instruction is associated with how satisfied the students are with the instruction the students are offered, their quality of life, and learning outcomes.

Worldwide, the number of confirmed cases continues to rise, leading to significant morbidity and mortality. In the Netherlands, although the incidence is currently low due to social distancing measures, recurrence of infections is expected once measures are going to be lifted. Although individuals of any age can acquire SARS-CoV-2, adults of middle and older age are at highest risk for developing severe COVID-19 disease. Moreover, recent reports demonstrate that mortality rates rise significantly among patients 60 years and older. Therefore, strategies to prevent SARS-CoV-2 infection or to reduce its clinical consequences in vulnerable populations are urgently needed. Bacille Calmette-Guérin (BCG) vaccine not only protects against tuberculosis, but also induces protection against various respiratory infections, including those with a viral etiology. We hypothesize that BCG vaccination reduces clinically relevant respiratory tract infections requiring medical intervention, including COVID-19, in vulnerable elderly. The objective of this trial is to determine the impact of BCG vaccination on the incidence of clinically relevant respiratory infections or COVID-19 in vulnerable elderly. The trial is designed as an adaptive multi-center double-blind randomized placebo-controlled trial. The attempt is to include 5,200 to 7,000 vulnerable elderly, defined as ≥60 years of age being discharged from hospital in the last 6 weeks, or visiting a medical outpatient clinic, thrombosis care services, or chronic renal replacement departments. Patients with contraindications to BCG vaccination as stipulated in the Summary of Product Characteristics (SPC) and patients with a history of COVID-19 will be excluded. Participants will be randomized between intracutaneous administration of BCG vaccine (Danish strain 1331) or placebo (0.1ml 0.9% NaCl) in a 1:1 ratio.The trial has an adaptive primary endpoint. Based on accrual of the two endpoints, the primary endpoint will be either (a) COVID-19 or (b) clinically relevant respiratory tract infection requiring medical intervention, potentially including COVID-19 episodes. The other will be declared secondary endpoint. Other secondary endpoints include: all SARS-CoV-2 infections (including asymptomatic infections), influenza infection, acute respiratory infection (ARI; all infections regardless of medical intervention), ARI-related hospital admission, COVID-19 related hospital admission, pneumonia, mental, physical and social functioning, serious adverse events and adverse events, and death.
Description: Clinically relevant relevant respiratory tract infection is composed of clinical symptoms in combination with the need for medical intervention. Exact criteria for clinically relevant respiratory tract infection and COVID-19 are described in the protocol. A blinded adjudication committee will determine the status of the primary endpoints of all participants with a potential primary endpoint, based on information provided in a standardized narrative using data reported by the participant and from GP and hospital medical records when relevant. For detection of ARI, symptoms are checked on a weekly (from week 1-4) or bi-weekly basis (from week 4 onward).

Measure: Activities in daily living Time: 180 daysThis study is a community hospital-based study that will enhance information being obtained in similar studies taking place in France, Denmark, and China. These studies are designed to assess risk of healthcare workers during outbreaks of Coronavirus 2019 (COVID-19) also known as sudden acute respiratory syndrome-coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2). This will be a prospective, single-center observational study involving human subjects. IgG (Immunoglobulin G) antibody will be tested in the serum of physicians working at Advocate Lutheran General Hospital (ALGH). IgG antibodies are the antibodies that form in response to viral or bacterial infections and typically reflect protection against said infection. To date, there have been no studies confirming that IgG antibody formation confers immunity, but studies are ongoing. Furthermore, data is lacking showing conclusive persistence of (possibly protective) antibodies over time. Attending physicians on the medical staff, fellow physicians, and house staff residents who worked at ALGH from March 1st, 2020 and on, will be eligible for the study. Testing will involve a venipuncture to obtain approximately 3mL of blood to be sent to ACL Laboratories for SARS-CoV-2 IgG testing. For physician subjects, this will be performed on four separate occasions, once at the onset of the study, a second test 3 months after the first test, a third test 6 months from the time of the first test, and a fourth and final test 12 months after the initial test. Two household members (defined below), one-time testing will occur within 2 weeks of the physician subject testing positive. All testing will be performed in a two-week window. All physician subjects will be tested at a centralized site that is only serving these subjects, by appointment. We will be offloading testing for household members to one localized commercial ACL site on the ALGH campus at the Center for Advanced Care. The household member testing will be extended to an additional two-week period after the two week window in which physicians are tested for a total of four weeks maximum. One-time testing for IgG antibodies to COVID-19 will be offered to a maximum of two household members, as defined as, any person over the age of 18 years old who has lived at home with the physician, who has tested positive for IgG antibodies, for at least 2 weeks in total duration since March 1st, 2020. The physician will be permitted to choose who gets tested, and the chosen adult subject will provide their independent consent to be tested.

Measure: Antibody Persistence Time: up to 1 yearAs dental practices reopen their practices during a global pandemic, the risk of 2019 novel coronavirus (COVID-19) infection that dental hygienists face in providing dental care remains unknown. Estimating the occupational risk of COVID-19, and producing evidence on the types of infection control practices and dental practices that may affect COVID-19 risk, is therefore imperative. These findings could be used to describe the prevalence and incidence of COVID-19 among dental hygienists, determine what infection control steps dental hygienists take over time, describe dental hygienists' employment during the COVID-19 pandemic, and estimate whether infection control adherence in dental practice is related to COVID-19 incidence.

Measure: Description of immunological phenotypes Time: through study completion, an average of 4 weeksThe Paris Fire Brigade staff have been particularly exposed to COVID-19 due to rescue and care activities for victims at risk in Paris area (where the virus was actively circulating). In addition, when the pandemic began in France, they had to take care of patients before procedures to protect caregivers were implemented. The contamination of young military personnel, whose physical capacity was put into strain at work, raises the question of the consequences of COVID-19 on their physical fitness. At the time, the medium- and long-term evolution of this disease and its possible repercussions on physical fitness are unknown. Moreover, like any soldiers who have been confined, they may present at least a cardio-respiratory deconditioning (sometimes independent of the disease making it difficult to distinguish between a sequelae of the infection or rehabilitation). Based on previous coronavirus epidemics (Sars-Cov 1 and Mers-Cov), it appears that long-term sequelae are possible even in mild forms and can result in an alteration of exertion ability. In the current context and in the absence of national or international recommendations on the return to physical activity, the French Armed Forces Health Service has proposed a simple management plan aiming at: i) allowing mass screening for possible exercise intolerance and targeting at-risk personnel, ii) allowing individualized re-training and iii) guaranteeing that military personnel can carry out their mission without jeopardizing their health.
Description: Aerobic performance will be assessed through a test called VAMEVAL. VAMEVAL consists of running around a track marked out every 50 meters to the rhythm of a soundtrack that accelerates at a rate of 0.5 km/h in 2-minute increments until exhaustion or inability to maintain the pace of the race. The result of the test made on return to work will be compared to the last result on the same test performed before COVID-19 infection.
Measure: Magnitude of the decrease in aerobic performance on return to work Time: Up to 18 monthsA new strain of coronavirus that caused severe respiratory disease in infected individuals was initially identified in China's Wuhan City in December 2019. Severe acute respiratory distress syndrome coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2), which was responsible for the corona virus infectious disease-2019 (COVID-19).The World Health Organization declared that COVID-19 was a Public Health Emergency of International Concern on January 30,2020. The impact of COVID-19 in liver recipients remains largely unknown but accumulating experience is going on. Liver transplant recipients should have been classified as a risk group and should have received regular surveillance for COVID-19 throughout the pandemic. Some reports suggest decreasing immunosuppression for infected recipients, if no recent rejection episodes. Paradoxically, others suggest that a reactive immune response might be the cause for severe tissue damage, and that immunosuppression might be protective from the postulated cytokine storm. Some studies stated that the LT patients who are permanently on immunosuppressants could be particularly susceptible to SARS-CoV-2, and their prognosis could be worse in comparison to the normal population. They recommended that LT recipients should be closely monitored for SARS-CoV-2. The LT society of India (LTSI) highlighted the potential of LT recipients as asymptomatic carriers and source of viral spread, and that SARS-CoV-2 can be transmitted to LT recipients. There are insufficient data on the relationship between immunosuppressive therapy and COVID-19 in LT recipients during this pandemic. However, the Beijing working party for liver transplantation suggested that LT recipients who were infected with SARS-CoV-2 should be treated with steroids for a short period to reduce the severity of pneumonia. They also suggested that immunosuppressive therapies should be continued for both patients with mild COVID-19 and those who were not infected by the virus, and calcineurin inhibitor treatment dosage should be reduced in moderate to severe cases. Neutralizing antibodies (NAbs) play an important role in virus clearance and have been considered as a key immune product for protection or treatment against viral diseases. Virus-specific NAbs, induced through either infection or vaccination, have the ability to block viral infection. SARS-CoV -2 specific NAbs reached their peak in patients from day 10-15 after the onset of the disease and remained stable thereafter in the patients. Antibodies targeting on different domains of S protein, including S1, RBD, and S2, may all contribute to the neutralization. Al-Rajhi Liver Center is the only liver transplantation center in Upper Egypt that performed only 51 living donor liver transplantation (LDLT) cases since 2014, but it was used as isolation Hospital for COVID-19 cases from March to July, 2020. Communication with liver transplant cases during that period was via Telemedicine. Resuming usual Hospital activity as Tertiary Liver Center occurred in 15 August 2020. Similarly, other Hospitals in Egypt were designated as COVID-19 isolation Hospitals.
The goal of this project is to help the state of Minnesota understand why individuals are not getting tested and potentially identify trusted individuals or organizations that could be used in follow-up work to send messages. Investigators focus on the first two issues of unit and item nonresponse, which is not random across the population and thus could lead to nonresponse bias. To do so, investigators are deploying flyers through 10 Twin City area food shelves and potentially through public housing units with information on how to answer an online questionnaire.

Risk and protective factors for SARS-CoV-2 infection and COVID-19 disease severity will be identified. The proportion of patients who develop antibodies after infection will be revealed. In this way the presence of these antibodies can be evaluated as a test for prior infection. Our study additionally will demonstrate how long these antibodies remain present and whether they are protective against a new infection.

Since 2000, various emerging infectious diseases have repeatedly caused serious impact on the health of the global population and the healthcare systems. With the growing international transportation and improving accessibility of the healthcare systems, hospitals have been inevitably the first sentinels dealing with emerging infectious diseases. The biological disasters, such as the Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS) in 2003, the Middle East Respiratory Syndrome (MERS) outbreak in South Korean in 2015, and the Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) outbreak this year, challenged our vulnerable healthcare systems and caused great loss of lives. Regarding the ongoing global epidemics and possible community outbreaks of the COVID-19, the management of biological disasters for an overcrowded emergency department should be planned. In the early 2020, the emergency department used a double-triage and telemedicine method to treat non-critical patient with suspected COVID-19. This application reduced the exposure time of the first responders and reserve adequate interview quality. However, for the critical patients treated in the isolated resuscitation rooms, the unique environment limited the teamwork and communication for the resuscitation team. These factors might led to poorer quality of critical care. The investigators designed a telemedicine-teamwork model, which connected the isolation room, prepare room and nursing station by an video-conferencing system in the emergency department. This model try to break the barriers of space between the rooms and facilitate the teamwork communications between each unit. Besides, by providing a more efficient workflow, this model could lower the total exposure time for all workers in the contaminated area. This study was conducted to evaluate the benefits of the telemedicine-teamwork model and provide a practical, safe and effective alternative to critical care of the patients with suspected highly infectious diseases.

Measure: Respiratory tract infection Time: 9 monthsThe aim is to deliver an intervention to promote nurse leadership and decision-making in the hospital setting, by providing them with training for maintaining minimum service delivery standards for hospital infection control with respect to COVID-19; but also other infectious disease burden management.
Description: It will consist of 44 questions for core competencies of infection control and prevention, including 10 constructs of: (1) Identification of infectious disease processes, (2) Surveillance and epidemiologic investigations, (3) Preventing/controlling the transmission of infectious agents, (4) Employee/occupational health, (5) Management and communication planning, (6) Quality/performance improvement and patient safety, and (7) Education and research education, (8) Confidence with training and awareness for identification and implementation for COVID-19 prevention and control strategies, (9) confidence in training and awareness, and (10) satisfaction with workplace support. It is a five-point Likert-type scale (strongly agree - agree - neutral - disagree - strongly disagree). The highest value of the scale is 6 and the lowest value is 1; with 6 points showing strong agreement with the item statement (E.g. Q1. Can you differentiate between other infections and COVID-19).
Measure: Core competencies in nurses for infection control and prevention (Min and Sil 2014) Time: 3 monthsSARS-CoV-2 is a member of a class of viruses: angiotensin converting enzyme 2 (ACE2)-binding viruses that we call "ABVs". The World Health Organization (WHO) and others are performing randomized controlled trials (RCTs) of vaccines and novel antivirals to address SARS-CoV-2 directly. However, the critical illness complications of COVID-19 are caused in part by SARS-CoV-2's binding and inhibiting ACE2 and the consequent host response. ACE 2 is the receptor for H1N1, H5N1, and SARS-CoV-2. After binding ACE2, SARS-CoV-2 is endocytosed, and surface ACE2 is down-regulated, increasing angiotensin II (ATII a potent vasoconstrictor) in COVID-19. The original ARB, losartan, limits lung injury in murine influenza H7N9 and decreases viral titre and RNA. We have a unique opportunity to complement vaccine and anti-viral RCTs with an RCT modulating the host response using an angiotensin II type 1 receptor blocker (ARB, losartan) to decrease the mortality of hospitalized COVID-19 patient.

Time: Through study completion, an average of 7 monthsThis study is to establish an accurate, robust and easily scalable COVID-19 viral nucleic acid analysis platform from, but not limited to, saliva to help enable and support contact tracing in the canton of Baselland/ Switzerland. To achieve this, crude ribonucleotide acid (RNA) extraction from saliva is validated in combination with next-generation sequencing (NGS) diagnostics and loop mediated amplification (LAMP) assays as well as point of care test (POCT) for rapid detection of viral antigens on patients' samples.
Description: For all qualitative method validation, the qualitative and quantitative result of the Foederatio Analyticorum Medicinalium Helveticorum (FAMH) performed RT-PCR (patient does / does not have SARS-Cov-2 and if yes, how many "ct" values for detection) is considered as the gold standard against which the crude extraction in combination with the LAMP or the NGS method using univariate measures is compared.
Measure: qualitative method validation of the crude extraction in combination with the LAMP or the NGS (count values for detection) Time: single point assessment at baselineCurrently, SARS-CoV-2 the novel member of the corona virus family, affecting the world leading to COVID-19 disease. It can result life-threatening condition by developing severe acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). Based on previous evidence a group of patients with severe COVID-19 develop a cytokine storm syndrome which leads to hyper-inflammation lung tissue damage. Supportive care is the current management of COVID-19 is and management of ARDS as a main cause of mortality has been remained challenging. Therefore, an urgent effective treatment of COVID-19 regarding hyper-inflammation mechanism is required. Currently, development of novel anti-viral agents and vaccines are the main issues. However, it needs long time, from months to years, until suitable new medications and vaccines have been developed. An immune-modulatory tetra deca peptide (14-mer peptide) named Human Ezrin Peptide 1 (HEP-1) (trade name Gepon) was introduced by the group of Ataullakhanov in Russia. Regarding its proved anti-viral and anti-inflammatory effect, Russian authorities approved Gepon for treatment of ulcerative colitis treatment and Hepatitis -C. In this regard, it seems that Hep-1 is a very safe immune-modulatory agent which can be effective in the management of COVID-19 infection without any adverse effect for the patient.

Some issues remain to be elucidated about SARS-CoV-2 infection to plan prevention interventions based on scientific evidence, such as the actual prevalence of infection including subclinical and seroconverted cases, the reasons for the different spread and severity of the infection in different subjects and geographical areas as well as the impact of the COVID-19 crisis on the health of healthcare professionals and in the general population. The aims of this project are: (i) to estimate and compare the real prevalence of the SARS-CoV-2 infection and seroconversion in two populations at high or low risk of infection,in Lombardia region and Molise region, respectively; focusing on subgroups at higher risk such as healthcare workers (HCWs); (ii) to estimate the incidence of burnout and post-traumatic stress disorder in HCWs; (iii) to identify factors associated with SARS-CoV-2 infection positivity and to follow up its mid-term effects on health. Methods. Participants will be randomly selected from the general population of both territories and from the HCWs list of the two healthcare facilities involved. SARS-CoV-2 IgG and IgM blood levels will be measured and anamnestic data will be collected through computerized tools. Prevalence of currently or previously infected subjects and their disease status and severity will be estimated and the association with potential risk factors will be analyzed through multivariable regression analyses. Expected results. The study will identify the burden of the infection in the general and HCWs populations. It will also identify the determinants of differences in the spread and severity of the infection, to hypothesize new preventive or therapeutic interventions. This study will provide a basis for monitoring the progress of the infection and its medium-term health consequences, Finally it will allow planning future studies, through analyses in biological samples which will be collected in dedicated biobanks.
Description: To estimate and compare the real prevalence of the SARS-CoV-2 infection and seroconversion in two populations at high or low risk of infection. The knowledge of the real prevalence of currently or previously infected subjects, then the actual immunization in the general population and in HCWs, will allow to estimate the real impact of the condition and to better predict the time-course of potential new outbreaks, considering the estimated impact of the herd immunity in slowing it down

The aim of the study is to answer the following questions: 1. Does BCG vaccination affect the course of COVID-19 (number of cases/deaths/severity of symptoms)? 2. Will the course of COVID-19 be milder among subjects with a negative TB skin test (PPD RT 23 SSI) after an additional dose of BCG than in case of non-vaccinated subjects? 3. Do people with a positive TB skin test have a milder course of COVID-19 infection than people with a negative test result? A multicenter, randomized, partially blinded, placebo-controlled study will be conducted in Rzeszow/Krakow/ Katowice/Warsaw on a group of 1000 volunteers, health care workers according to the following schedule: V 0-1: inclusion/informed consent/interview; V2: administration of TB skin test/anti-SARS-CoV-2 IgG test/serum banking*; V3: TB skin test (TST) interpretation and subjects' division into three groups: (I) positive TST - observation; (II) negative TST- BCG-10 vaccination; (III) negative TST - placebo. Division into groups II and III based on randomisation; V4: serum banking*. Parallel beginning from V3, weekly telephone monitoring participants' health status; In case of COVID-19 symptoms a nasopharyngeal swab to confirm SARS-CoV-2 infection + serum banking*. V5: 3 months after vaccination at the end of the study: history/anti-SARS-CoV-2 IgG test, serum banking*. Statistical analysis - comparison of the course of COVID-19 in groups: (I) with positive TST + observation, (II) with negative TST + BCG, (III) with negative TST + placebo - should demonstrate whether mass BCG vaccination has an impact on the incidence and course of COVID-19. * to measure the level of cytokines involved in cell-mediated immunity process

However, investigators have shown that the surfactant protein polymorphisms are associated with severity of various pulmonary diseases such as respiratory syncytial virus (RSV), tuberculosis, pediatric acute lung injury. COVID-19 virus gains entry through the respiratory system and responsible for death due to acute respiratory failure. There is a considerable heterogeneity in presentation of COVID-19 infection from asymptomatic patients to severe infection requiring intensive care and some may die. Considering reports of COVID-19 related deaths/severe disease in the same family, it is possible that genetics play an important role in severity of COVID-19 infection. Investigators propose to study the association of surfactant proteins in COVID-19 patients. Key Objectives: a) Characterize genetic markers within the surfactant protein genes in COVID-19 positive patients, b) To determine if there is a correlation between certain genetic markers and the severity of COVID-19 infection which may be used as a prognostic marker, c) To correlate genetic markers with immune studies.

Thanks to a consensus of experts using the Delphi method, we previously defined the HOME-CoV rule. The HOME-CoV rule consists of 8 items precluding home treatment for patients consulting in the Emergency Department (ED) with confirmed or highly suspected mild to moderate COVID-19. It has been validated in a prospective study, patients with a negative rule having a very-low rate of invasive ventilation or death within the 7 days following ED presentation (HOME-CoV study, NCT: 02811237). Using logistic regression, we revised the HOME-CoV rule in order to define a score allowing. The revised HOME-CoV score comprises 7 criteria and, retrospectively assessed in the database of the HOME-CoV study, it exhibits promising performances. A revised HOME-CoV score < 2 had a sensitivity of 0.93 (0.84 to 0.98), a specificity of 0.60 (0.58 to 0.61) and negative predictive value of 1.00 (0.99 to 1.00); and a score > 4 had a sensitivity of 0.41 (0.28 to 0.54), a specificity of 0.93 (0.92 to 0.94) and a positive predictive value of 0.11 (0.07 to 0.16). The present study aims to prospectively validate the revised HOME-CoV score, firstly, in identifying a subgroup of COVID-19 patients with a low risk of evolution to severe COVID-19 and who could be safely treated at home. For this purpose, we will perform an interventional multicentric prospective pragmatic cohort study with implementation of the revised HOME-CoV score to triage COVID-19 patients.

Transmission of the virus is primarily through direct and close person-to-person contact. The protection of health care personnel and the limitation of transmission of nosocomial COVID is paramount. Protective measures have already shown their effectiveness in limiting the spread of the virus: the use of masks, the wearing of protective gowns, the wearing of protective eyewear, social and physical distancing. A recent U.S. study (Rhee et al. JAMA 2020) reported a very low incidence of 1.7% of nosocomial COVID, but this was achieved with the application of rigorous infection risk management protocols. In addition to the widespread use of masks and protective measures, dedicated COVID units had been created, with air treatment. The implementation of these dedicated units requires the mobilization of considerable human and material resources, which is not feasible in all hospitals over the long term. In view of the second wave of the epidemic in France, with the rising numbers of new cases of COVDI-19 admitted to intensive care units since the end of the summer 2020, it is essential to organize the intensive care units to ensure the protection of personnel and limit the risk of nosocomial COVID-19, while continuing to care for non-COVID patients. In Intensive Care unit (ICU) at the Nantes University Hospital, a strict protocol for the management of suspected or confirmed COVID patients has been in place since early september 2020. The objective of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of this protocol for managing the infectious risk of SARS-COV-2 on the incidence of nosocomial COVID in patients admitted in ICU. The secondary objectives are to evaluate the incidence of nosocomial-associated COVIDs contracted by caregivers, and the incidence of asymptomatic positive SARS-CoV-2 cases in ICU.

Measure: Disease Prevalence Time: 1-year study periodRespiratory infections such as colds, flu and pneumonia affect millions of people around the world every year. Most cases are mild, but some people become very unwell. Influenza ('flu') is one of the most common causes of lung infection. Seasonal flu affects between 10% and 46% of the population each year and causes around 12 deaths in every 100,000 people infected. In addition, both influenza and coronaviruses have caused pandemics in recent years, leading to severe disease in many people. Although flu vaccines are available, these need to change every year to overcome rapid changes in the virus and are not completely protective. This study aims to find and develop predictive tests to better understand how and when flu-like illness progresses to more severe disease. This may help to decide which people need to be admitted to hospital, and how their treatment needs to be increased or decreased during infection. The aim is to recruit 100 patients admitted to hospital due to a respiratory infection. It is voluntary to take part and participants can choose to withdraw at any time. The study will involve some blood and nose samples. This will be done on Day 0, Day 2 and Discharge from hospital, and an out-patient follow-up visit on Day 28. The data will be used to develop novel diagnostic tools to assist in rational treatment decisions that will benefit both individual patients and resource allocation. It will also establish research preparedness for upcoming pandemics.

Some of these infections are rare: for example, few children in Western Europe are living with HIV, so the studies often have fairly small numbers of participants. This can make it difficult to answer research questions in these cohorts and means that doctors and researchers working with these patients in different countries need to work together. This is particularly important as children are not often included in clinical trials of treatments and other interventions. The European Pregnancy and Paediatric Infections Cohort Collaboration (EPPICC) is an international network of researchers working together in this way. Researchers in the network represent cohort studies of pregnant women and children with, or at risk of, infections from across Europe and Thailand. The research focuses on infections in pregnant women and children, particularly HIV, hepatitis B and C virus, and tuberculosis, and, from 2020, novel coronavirus (COVID-19). By combining data from many cohorts, the researchers aim to answer questions that could not be answered by one study individually (for example, because a large number of pregnant women or children are needed to answer the question). This protocol focuses on the paediatric component of EPPICC's research, which focuses on the treatment of children at risk of and living with infections. For example, what medicines are used most often and how do they affect children's health? EPPICC is an observational study, which means that children do not receive any extra treatment as part of the study. Instead, children are "observed" during their routine medical care. Each cohort keeps records of the children's health collected at routine clinic visits, including information such as date of birth and sex, results of diagnostic tests, treatments received, and any illnesses or other events that the children have had. The EPPICC study combines and analyses data from all of the cohorts that take part, to answer questions about the risks and benefits of different diagnosis or treatment strategies, the long-term effects of infection and treatment during childhood and young adulthood, and regional variations (e.g. between Western and Eastern Europe) in the risk and management of infections. All of the data collected through the EPPICC Paediatric Protocol are stored securely at the Medical Research Council Clinical Trials Unit (MRC CTU) at UCL. Data collection and storage are governed by the General Data Protection Regulation. A Steering Committee guides the research to make sure it is relevant and of high quality. Public and patient involvement (PPI) may be provided by individual cohorts' own groups, as well as by the interlinked Penta organisation, which is a network of paediatricians and researchers working in infections in Europe and globally. The PPI groups help with release of the results of the research. The results are also published on the Penta Foundation's public website (https://penta-id.org/), and presented at conferences and published in Open Access scientific journals.
Alphabetical listing of all HPO terms. Navigate: Correlations Clinical Trials
Data processed on December 13, 2020.
An HTML report was created for each of the unique drugs, MeSH, and HPO terms associated with COVID-19 clinical trials. Each report contains a list of either the drug, the MeSH terms, or the HPO terms. All of the terms in a category are displayed on the left-hand side of the report to enable easy navigation, and the reports contain a list of correlated drugs, MeSH, and HPO terms. Further, all reports contain the details of the clinical trials in which the term is referenced. Every clinical trial report shows the mapped HPO and MeSH terms, which are also hyperlinked. Related HPO terms, with their associated genes, protein mutations, and SNPs are also referenced in the report.
