The overall objective of this project is to develop an emergent treatment protocol usingadoptive T-cell therapy for the treatment of severe COVID-19. The central hypothesis isthat SARS-CoV-2 specific T cells from convalescent donors who have recovered fromCOVID-19 can be manufactured expeditiously for the treatment of severe SARS-CoV-2infections.

The study aims to investigate the efficacy of extracorporeal CO2 removal for correctionof hypercapnia in coronavirus disease 19 (COVID-19)-associated acute respiratory distresssyndrome

The goal of the research is to assess candidate COVID-19 rapid diagnostic tests (e.g.immunodiagnostic antibody tests, like Cellex qSARS-CoV-2 IgG/IgM Rapid Test, or antigentests, like Turklab Test-It COVID-19 Home Test, AllBio Science Inc. and ArtronLaboratories Inc. rapid COVID-19 antigen tests in order to judge their clinical accuracycompared to Centers for Disease Control (CDC)-recommended molecular genetic testing andclinical diagnosis. Second, it is our goal to determine if self-testing assisted byCOVIDscanDX mobile device camera acquisition software platform and telemedicineclinical/technical support (virtual point-of-care) improves the ease of use and immediateinterpretation of the tests, thus making self-testing comparable in accuracy and safetyto testing in a clinical setting. Third, we are testing antibodies to SARS-CoV-2 afterdiagnosis with COVID-19 or following vaccination to measure the onset and time course ofdetectable antibodies from finger-stick blood drops and rapid antibody lateral flowtests. The overall purpose of the study is to dramatically increase the capacity ofCOVID-19 testing by establishing the safety, ease-of-use and validity of self-testingassisted by mobile device imaging and telemedicine remote support and provide evidence ofantibody time-course response to vaccination.

The project is an observational, prospective study. Its aim is to deepen ourunderstanding of COVID-19 in older patients hospitalized and diagnosed with COVID-19.In particular, socioeconomic, diagnostic, biological, functional, therapy data will becollected at the patients' admission, during hospital stay, at the discharge and 1, 3, 6,12 months after discharge.Results and findings will help support changes in clinical practice and decision making,with the aim to reduce the use of healthcare services and the healthcare expenditure.

In absence of vaccine and medications specifically designed to treat SARS-CoV-2 disease,identifying treatment options is critical at this time to control the disease outbreak.For this, we have designed a phase II trial of efficacy and safety with 3 branches ofdifferent combinations of treatment to identify which is the best early treatment optionfor patients with pneumonia due to SARS-CoV-2 (Covid-19) Identifying treatment options asearly as possible is critical to the SARS-CoV-2 outbreak response. Currently, there is noapproved vaccine for the disease and the treatments being used are not specificallydesigned for the SARS-CoV-2 virus, but are different groups of drugs used for otherpathologies with mechanisms of action that justify their use because they inhibit entryof the virus into virus cells or proteases.The study aims to compare Imatinib 400mg, Baricitinib 4mg or supportive treatment,administered for 7 days in the setting of SARS-CoV-2 pneumonia treatment.Patients who meet inclusion criteria and do not have any exclusion criteria will berandomized to receive open treatment 1:1:1

The infection caused by COVID19 worldwide makes it necessary to monitor drugsadministered for the treatment of patients hospitalized with SARS-CoV-2. In order to knowmore about the efficacy and safety of the treatments used, researchers from theCantabrian health service have developed an observational study, in the form of anambispective registry, in which clinical data from patients treated with the differentdrugs currently recommended by the Spanish Agency of Medicines and Health Products(SAMHP) and the Ministry of Health, or others that may arise, are collected and analyzed.Although the conduct of clinical trials is a priority at this time, we cannot lose theclinical experience that is currently being generated, which may allow us to improve thetherapeutic strategies for future patients.

The purpose of this study is to assess the safety and efficacy of leronlimab (PRO 140)administered as weekly subcutaneous injection in subjects with severe or criticalCOVID-19 disease.

The aim of the project is to better understand the Covid-19 inpatient course of thedisease and to quickly identify the positive experiences in the treatment in order toupdate guidelines for the treatment and use of medication.

ACEIs as treatment for COVID19

Several patients with hypoxaemic SARS-CoV2 pneumonia were able to benefit from hyperbaricoxygen treatment (HBOT) in China. In a clinical case published in the Chinese journal ofhyperbaric medicine, treatment with repeated HBO sessions prevented admission tointensive care unit with mechanical ventilation in a patient aged 69 who presented withsigns of respiratory decompensation. HBOT is the most powerful oxygenation modality inthe body today. HBOT can dramatically increase the amount of dissolved oxygen in theblood. HBOT not only promotes blood transport but also its tissue delivery. Furthermore,HBOT has specific immunomodulatory properties, both humoral and cellular, making itpossible, for example, to reduce the intensity of the inflammatory response and tostimulate antioxidant defenses by repeating sessions. A virucidal capacity of HBOT mightalso be involved. HBOT is generally regarded as safe with very few adverse events.Following this feedback, it is proposed in the context of crisis management related toSARS-CoV2 to assess the value of HBO treatment of patients with CoV2 pneumonia. Indeed,it seems essential to propose therapeutic strategies to limit the risk of respiratorydecompensation requiring admission to intensive care unit for patients with SARS-CoV2pneumonia.
