SARS-COV-2 INFECTION

This study is testing two experimental COVID-19 booster vaccines in 80 healthy volunteers aged 40-64. One vaccine includes an extra component called 's3' designed to improve the body's immune response. Participants will receive a single dose of either vaccine or a placebo and be …

This study tests whether baricitinib, a drug used for arthritis, can improve thinking, physical function, and quality of life in people with Long COVID. About 550 adults who had COVID-19 at least 6 months ago will receive either baricitinib or a placebo for 6 months. The main goa…

This phase 2 trial tests whether a drug called 2-HOBA can reduce immune system overactivity in people with Long COVID who also have POTS (a condition causing rapid heart rate upon standing). The study will enroll 50 participants and randomly assign them to receive either 2-HOBA o…

This study tests whether giving the antiviral drug remdesivir for 10 days can prevent severe COVID-19 in kidney transplant recipients who have mild or no symptoms. About 15 adults will receive the drug starting just before their transplant. The goal is to see if this approach all…

This study is testing a new, portable breath test called eBAM-CoV to see if it can detect COVID-19 as accurately as the standard nasal swab test (RT-PCR). The breath test is less invasive and gives immediate results. Researchers will compare the two tests in 250 adults who have s…

This early-stage study tests whether giving specially grown immune cells (called coronavirus-specific T cells) from a donor can safely prevent COVID-19 infection in people who recently had a stem cell transplant and have weak immune systems. About 24 adults and children will rece…

This study looks at heart health in children five years after they had MIS-C, a rare but serious condition linked to COVID-19. Researchers will compare 90 children who had MIS-C with healthy children of the same age and sex. They will use heart imaging, blood vessel checks, exerc…

This study in Malawi aims to understand why COVID-19 was much less severe there than in Europe and the Americas. Researchers will follow 1500 people, including those infected and their household contacts, to see how factors like prior infections, nutrition, and immune responses a…

This study is working to create better exercise tests for children with cystic fibrosis, sickle cell disease, or long COVID. Current tests are designed for healthy athletes and may not be safe or useful for these kids. Researchers will track 240 children over 3-4 years, measuring…

This study looks at why some people develop a fast heart rate and dizziness months after COVID-19, a condition called post-COVID tachycardia syndrome. Researchers will measure immune markers and nerve activity in 60 participants to see if ongoing inflammation and reduced vagal ne…

This study follows 10,000 pregnant women in Nagpur, India, from early pregnancy through 42 days after birth. Researchers want to learn if catching flu or COVID-19 raises the risk of problems like preterm labor or severe pre-eclampsia. The goal is to provide clear evidence to help…
