This trial platform aims to support the repurposing of promising therapeutic assets with prior use in humans but without prior information on use in COVID-19, to determine the PK-PD profile of the agent, compared to standard of care supportive therapy, in small cohorts of COVID-19 patients. The
Research Background and Rationale At the end of December 2019, pneumonia of unknown origin was detected in the hospitals of Wuhan city, China, and reported to the WHO country office for the first time [1-3]. After a few days, the Chinese government has confirmed the human-to-human transmission of
Coronavirus-induced disease 2019 (COVID-19) caused by SARS-CoV-2 infection is a highly contagious disease with a high and unpredictable morbidity and mortality, for which there is currently no specific treatment. Progression from a mild fatigue, fever and cough, to severe respiratory failure
In December, 2019, an outbreak of pneumonia with unknown cause occurred in Wuhan city, the capital of Hubei province in China. On January 7th, the scientists succeeded to isolate a novel coronavirus, severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). WHO nominated it as coronavirus
This is a Phase 2, , randomized (1:1:1), placebo-controlled, 2-weeks, proof-of-concept study to evaluate the safety and tolerability as well as the mechanistic effect of oral administration of potent inhibitor of neutrophil elastase(Inhaled All trans retinoic acid and inhaled isotretinoin in
BACKGROUND
Since the first case of Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome - Coronavirus - 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection and its subsequent clinical manifestation (COronaVIrus Disease 19, COVID-19) in the city of Wuhan (Hubei, China) in December 2019, contagion abruptly spread to different regions of China
According to previous studies, IFN-β, amongst IFN-1s, has strong antiviral activity and also has an acceptable safety profile. Based on possible therapeutic effects, We decided to lead An Investigation into Beneficial Effects of Interferon Beta 1a, Compared to Interferon Beta 1b And The Base
Umifenovir is a component derived from indole, which has showed positive efficacy in inhibition of virus-to-host cell attachment in different groups of influenza, and type C hepatitis virus. Another study in 2008 also corroborated the anti-viral effect of Arbidol on SARS-CoV in the cell cultures.
Interleukin 6 (IL-6), a proinflammatory cytokine, is a key driver of a cytokine storm that plays a significant role in clinical complications and acute lung injury. Emerging data indicate that serum levels of IL-6 are elevated in COVID-19 patients and are predictive of respiratory failure and
Background:
The 2019 discovered new coronavirus, SARS-CoV-2, is an enveloped positive strand single strand RNA virus. The number of SARS-CoV-2 infected people has increased rapidly and WHO has warned that the pandemic spread of Covid-19 is imminent and would have disastrous outcomes. Covid-19 could
Background: The 2019 discovered new coronavirus, Covid-19, is an enveloped positive strand single strand RNA virus. The number of Covid-19 infected people has increased rapidly and WHO has warned that the spread of Covid-19 may soon become pandemic and have disastrous outcomes. Covid-19 could pose a
Mucopolysaccharidosis (MPS) are a group of inherited, metabolic diseases caused by a deficiency of lysosomal enzymes that degrade glycosaminoglycans (GAGs). Loss of their activity results in cellular accumulation of GAGs fragments leading to progressive multi-system manifestations (central nervous
The investigators will assess the ALSFR-s in ALS patients at start, 1, 3, 6 and 12 months and correlate the score to the neurological outcome of the patients with and without tamoxifen treatment at dose of 40mg daily for one year.
The study will be able to prove the investigators hypothesis:
Summary
We will perform a 2 year double blind, placebo controlled trial of doxycycline in 40 patients with LAM. The main endpoints will be change in FEV1, other measures of efficacy, safety and dose required to suppress MMP activity. After clinical evaluation, lung function, shuttle walk, QoL
