COVID19 Paid Clinical Trials in Virginia

COVID-19 can trigger a dysregulated immune response, and previous studies have shown that immune modulation can improve outcomes in hospitalized patients. This trial is designed to determine whether intensification of immune modulation early in the course of the disease (while patients are on low flow oxygen) with abatacept (active arm) combined with standard of care (SOC) improves recovery as compared with placebo + SOC (placebo arm). For both groups, intensification of immunomodulation will be provided as part of SOC in case of signs of disease progression (patient requires high flow nasal oxygen (HFNO) or more support) and/or if the patient has rapidly increasing oxygen requirement.

This study evaluates immunologic response following COVID-19 vaccination in children, adolescents, and young adults with cancer. Vaccines work by stimulating the body's immune cells to respond against a specific disease. The immune response produces protection from that disease. Effects from cancer and from treatments for cancer can reduce the body's natural disease fighting ability (called immunity). Factors such as vaccine type, timing of vaccine dosing related to treatment for cancer and number of vaccine doses or "boosts" (extra vaccine shots) may strengthen or diminish the body's protective immune response. This study may help researchers learn more about how the body's immune system responds to the COVID-19 vaccine when the vaccination is given during or after cancer treatment. Read Less

Treatments are needed to improve outcomes among patients hospitalized for COVID-19, including direct-acting antiviral (DAA) agents to mitigate the pathology driven by ongoing viral replication. This trial will evaluate S-217622 (ensitrelvir), an anti-SARS-CoV2 3C-like protease inhibitor (PI) developed by Shionogi &; Co. Ltd. The study design is a randomized, placebo-controlled, multi-center international clinical trial that will evaluate the clinical efficacy of ensitrelvir when given in addition to standard of care (SOC) for inpatients with COVID-19. The SOC will be determined by local established guidelines and may include additional DAA (e.g., remdesivir) and immunomodulatory treatment strategies. Certain SOC treatments will be pre-specified prior to randomization. Read Less

The purpose of this study is to understand the safety and effects of a combined influenza and COVID-19 vaccine. This combined vaccine is compared to separate vaccines for the protection against influenza and SARS-CoV-2. Influenza and COVID-19 are diseases that can spread easily from one person to another and cause body aches, fever, cough, and other symptoms. Giving both influenza and COVID-19 vaccines together against influenza and SARS-CoV-2 could provide great benefits to both patients and caregivers in terms of simple and easy care. Around 9000 participants will be assigned into 1 of 4 vaccination groups (Group A, B, C or D) by chance. Cohort 1: Around 4500 participants will be assigned by chance to one of the following: Group A:Influenza and COVID-19 combination A vaccine, given at the same time in the right arm and placebo (an injection consisting of just salt water and no medicines in it) in the left arm. Group B: COVID-19 vaccine, given at the same time to the right arm and licensed influenza vaccine in the left arm. Cohort 2: Around 4500 participants will be assigned by chance to one of the following: Group C: Influenza and COVID-19 combination B vaccine, given at the same time in the right arm and placebo in the left arm. Group D: COVID-19 vaccine, given at the same time in the right arm and licenced influenza vaccine in the left arm. All participants will receive 2 injections as per their assigned study group at Visit 1. The participants will be followed for about 6 months. During this time, the study will compare participant experiences when they receive a combined vaccination to when they receive separate vaccinations. This will help understand if the study medicine is safe. Read Less

Secondary objectives: - To determine the effect of reparixin on several disease severity/progression measures including recovery, ventilatory free days and mortality. Safety objectives: - To evaluate the safety of oral reparixin versus placebo in the specific clinical setting. Read Less

The purpose of this clinical trial is to learn about the safety, extent of the side effects, and immune responses of the study vaccine (called variant-adapted BNT162b2 RNA-based vaccine) in healthy children. The trial is divided into 5 individual studies or substudies based on age group and prior history of COVID-19 vaccinations. All participants in each of the 5 sub-studies will receive study vaccine as a shot depending on what group they are in. Substudy A design: Phase 1 includes participants 6 months through less than 4 years 3 months of age who have not received a previous coronavirus vaccination (COVID-19 vaccine naïve) and will receive 3 doses of study vaccine as their initial series, followed by a fourth dose of study vaccine. Phase 2/3 includes participants 6 months through less than 5 years of age who have not received a previous coronavirus vaccination (COVID-19 vaccine naive) and will receive 1, 2, or 3 doses of study vaccine, depending on what group they are in. Substudy B design: includes participants 6 months through less than 5 years of age who have either received 2 or 3 prior doses of BNT162b2 and will receive study vaccine as their third or fourth dose. Substudy C design: Phase 1 includes participants 6 months through less than 5 years of age who have received 3 prior doses of BNT162b2 and will receive study vaccine as their fourth dose. Substudy D design: includes participants 5 through less than12 years of age who have received 2 or 3 prior doses of BNT162b2 and will receive study vaccine as their third or fourth dose. Substudy E design: includes participants 2 through less than 12 years of age who have not received a previous coronavirus vaccination (COVID-19 vaccine naive) and will receive a single dose of study vaccine.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of repurposed medications (study drug(s) in reducing symptoms of non-hospitalized participants with mild to moderate COVID-19. Participants will receive either study drug or placebo. Participants will self-report any new or worsening symptoms or medical events experienced while taking study drug or placebo. This study is intended to be all remote with no in person visits, unless the study team feels it is in the best interest of a participant to be seen in person. Prior and current drug arms are listed on clinicaltrials.gov and will be updated with the activation of any new drug arms. Each study arm will also have its own clinicaltrials.gov entry and will include "Pro00107921" in the Unique Protocol ID. Read Less

The COVID-19 pandemic severely impacted the medical system both directly but also through incomplete recovery from the virus in the form of post-acute sequelae of COVID-19 (PASC). PASC affects at least 9.6 million individuals as of May 2022 and continues to affect many more. PASC is a multisystem disorder often presenting with mental fog, dyspnea on exertion, and fatigue among other symptoms. The etiology of PASC is uncertain but theories include direct cytotoxicity, dysregulated immune responses, endotheliitis associated with microthrombi, eNOS uncoupling, and myocardial fibrosis with impaired ventricular compliance. To date, there are no established treatments. Exercise has the potential as a therapeutic option to improve VO2peak and improve each of the aforementioned underlying etiologies. The investigators plan to examine the effect of High-Intensity Interval Training (HIIT) and Moderate intensity exercise training (MOD) on the symptoms and exercise tolerance of patients with PASC. The investigators approach will consist of a randomized, blinded, 2-arm, parallel-group design. Enrolled subjects will be randomly assigned to one of two groups in a 1:1 allocation ratio. All groups will undergo a 4-week intervention of 3 days of HIIT per week and 2 days of MOD per week or control of light stretching and controlled breathing. Subjects will be assessed before and after the 4-week intervention to examine the extent to which 4 weeks of the HIIT and MOD combination improves VO2peak and left ventricular diastolic function, global longitudinal strain (GLS), and global circumferential strain (GCS). Further, the investigators will explore changes in markers such as heart rate, heart rhythm, blood pressure, quality of life, exercise tolerance, and PASC symptoms as well as blood/serum markers.

Background: The COVID-19 pandemic has challenged the health systems worldwide. Many tools have been developed in response to the pandemic, but there is no current way to quickly screen multiple people for the disease. Research has shown that people with COVID-19 have higher levels of some proteins involved in the immune response and inflammation. These proteins can be detected in sweat using a special camera. Researchers want to see if analysis of sweat from fingerprints could be used to detect COVID-19 infection in people. Objective: To test a new technology to detect COVID-19 infection based on an analysis of sweat from fingerprints. Eligibility: Adults ages 18 and older who tested positive or negative for COVID-19 within the last 7 days. Design: Participants will visit the NIH Clinical Center for one day within 7 days from COVID-19 testing. The visit will last for 3 to 4 hours. Participants who show symptoms for COVID-19 with a positive test will give blood samples to correlate with the sweat markers. About 1/2 tablespoon of blood will be drawn. For sweat markers, 10 fingers will be imaged by a camera using a touchless system. This will be repeated 3 times. It will take about 15 minutes. Participants will use the device. They will get instructions and watch a short video on how to use the device. Read Less
