COVID19 Clinical Trials in Houston, TX

Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2-mediated coronavirus disease (COVID-19) is an evolutionarily unprecedented natural experiment that causes major changes to the host immune system. We propose to develop a test that accurately predicts short- and long-term (within one-year) outcomes in hospitalized COVID-19 patients broadly reflecting US demographics who are at increased risk of adverse outcomes from COVID-19 using both clinical and molecular data. We will enroll patients from a hospitalized civilian population in one of the country's largest metropolitan areas and a representative National Veteran's population. Read Less

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of external evacuation units and mouth rinses during aerosol generating procedures in a dental clinic and to determine the risk level to the dental practitioners during aerosol generating procedures. Read Less

The purpose of the pilot study is to examine acceptability and proof of concept effectiveness of a wireless TENS technology to address PACS associated FM. Sample size (n=40) is convenient and designed to explore acceptability and feasibility. Eligible participants will be screened at the BCM Post-COVID-19 Clinic for inclusion criteria. Participants, who satisfy the inclusion and exclusion criteria and sign the informed consent form will be randomly assigned with ratio of 1:1 into two groups. One group will utilize TENS functional devices (Active group, AG); the other group will utilize TENS non-functional devices (Placebo group, PG). The baseline measurements will be performed, and the patients will take the programmed device home for a duration of 4 weeks. Then, the patients will come back after four weeks (4W). At this 4th week visit, both groups will be unblinded and the AG will keep their functional device and the PG group will receive a functional device. Both groups will continue to deliver 3-5 hour of stimulation daily, until their final 8th week follow up visit (8W). The primary outcomes will be pain symptoms, sleep and fatigue. Secondary outcomes include limb strength and perfusion, gait assessment (gait speed, stride length, double stance, and gait steadiness), balance, pulse oximetry, and quality of life. The coordinator will utilize a weekly spreadsheet showing utilization (therapy sessions/day, logged in the Quell health Cloud) so compliance can be monitored and those that are not using the device can be encouraged.

This clinical pharmacology study will evaluate the relative bioavailability, safety, and tolerability of two different concentrations of sotrovimab injections administered at different injection sites in male or female healthy participants aged 18 to 65 years. The study will be conducted in three parts (Part A, an optional Part B and Part C). Read Less
