NCT05101213
This phase I trial tests the feasibility and safety of genetically modified cytotoxic T-lymphocytes in controlling infections caused by adenovirus (ADV), BK virus (BKV), cytomegalovirus (CMV), JC virus (JCV), or COVID-19 in immunocompromised patients with cancer. Viral infections are a leading cause of morbidity and mortality after hematopoietic stem cell transplantation, and therapeutic options for these infections are often complicated by associated toxicities. Genetically modified cytotoxic T-lymphocytes (CTLs) are designed to kill a specific virus that can cause infections. Depending on which virus a patient is infected with (ADV, BKV, CMV, JCV, or COVID-19), the CTLs will be designed to specifically attack that virus. Giving genetically modified CTLs may help to control the infection.
NCT04565665
This is a phase I trial followed by a phase II randomized trial. The purpose of phase I study is the feasibility of treating patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) related to COVID-19 infection (COVID-19) with cord blood-derived mesenchymal stem cells (MSC). The purpose of the phase II trial is to compare the effect of MSC with standard of care in these patients. MSCs are a type of stem cells that can be taken from umbilical cord blood and grown into many different cell types that can be used to treat cancer and other diseases. The MSCs being used for infusion in this trial are collected from healthy, unrelated donors and are stored and grown in a laboratory. Giving MSC infusions may help control the symptoms of COVID-19 related ARDS.

Information gathered from this study may help guide pulmonary programs on a wider scale and improve their practice. The study may also help researchers understand where they should focus research efforts to better respond to a pandemic in the future.
NCT04491292
This study investigates the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the psychosocial health of employees of MD Anderson Cancer Center. Epidemics have been shown to promote psychological stress among medical staff in high risk areas, which may lead to mental health problems. Assessing how the pandemic is affecting employees may allow for more comprehensive actions to be taken to protect the mental health of employees.
NCT06381739
The goal of this clinical trial is to study the safety of a new inhaled vaccine to prevent COVID infection and learn about the immune responses that are made in the lungs and the blood after vaccination. Participants will be randomized (like the toss of a coin) to receive the experimental vaccine or a placebo (a look-alike solution that contains no vaccine). To be in the study participants will have to have already had three doses of a messenger ribonucleic acid (mRNA) COVID vaccine and be generally healthy. Participants are given a single dose of the vaccine by breathing in a fine mist that goes directly into the lungs. During follow-up participants will: * visit the clinic for checkups and blood tests at 2, 4 and 8 weeks after vaccination * report their symptoms for 24 weeks after getting the vaccine. In some participants, the researchers will collect cells from the lung 4 weeks after vaccination (a test known as a bronchoscopy).
NCT04582903
Background: Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) causes coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). The global outbreak of COVID-19 is a major public health problem. COVID-19 causes a wide range of symptoms. These symptoms range from mild breathing problems to life-threatening problems or death. Some people have no symptoms. This study aims to learn how acute and late immune responses to COVID-19 lead to different outcomes. The immune system is the body s defense against germs, including viruses, that invade the body. Objective: To characterize the immune responses during and after SARS-CoV-2 infection and determine if there is any relationship to clinical course and outcome. Eligibility: People ages 0 99 who have confirmed or suspected SARS-CoV-2 infection, people who are not infected despite heavy exposure, and relatives of enrolled participants. Design: This is a sample collection protocol to receive send-in biological specimens for exploratory studies, including gene testing. Participants will not be seen at the NIH for study visits. Study staff will talk with participants health care providers to screen them for the study. Participants enrolled into the protocol will send samples and clinical information at least once and more often if the participant has COVID-19. All participants will provide blood samples and possibly stool. We may also ask for left over specimens from any medical procedures completed as part of medical care. The study staff will also request participants health care providers to complete a survey to collect demographic and medical data. Some of this information may need to be provided directly by the participant. Pregnant individuals are invited to participate and may be asked to give cord blood samples after delivery. Study findings that affect participants health may be shared with their health care provider. Depending on findings, participants may be contacted to take part in other NIH studies.
NCT04379518
This phase I/IIa trial studies the best dose and side effects of rintatolimod and interferon (IFN) alpha-2b in treating cancer patients with COVID-19 infection. Interferon alpha is a protein important for defense against viruses. It activates immune responses that help to clear viral infection. Rintatolimod is double stranded ribonucleic acid (RNA) designed to mimic viral infection by stimulating immune pathways that are normally activated during viral infection. Giving rintatolimod and interferon alpha-2b may activate the immune system to limit the replication and spread of the virus.
NCT04497779
Plasma from patients who have recovered from coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is referred to as COVID-19 convalescent plasma (CCP), and may contain antibodies against SARS-CoV-2, the virus responsible for COVID-19. CCP infusion is being evaluated as a therapeutic or prophylactic approach in COVID-19 patients. The goal of this study is to help develop a bank of convalescent plasma in California, especially in medically underserved communities particularly affected by the disease. In parallel, CCP administered to COVID-19 patients will be collected and analyzed to determine whether the antibody profile correlates with clinical outcome. The purpose of this non-therapeutic study is to learn more about the CCP antibody profile and the effect it may have in treating COVID-19 infection.
NCT04474301
The primary purpose of this study is to gain an understanding of how experiences during the COVID-19 pandemic, regardless of COVID-19 status, may have impacted multiple domains of health-related quality of life and other areas such as COVID-19 specific psychological distress, and disruptions to health care, finances and social interactions. We will also evaluate the extent to which resiliency factors such as social support, perceived benefits under times of stress, and ability to manage stress may buffer associations between COVID-19 experiences and HRQoL. To meet these objectives, we have developed a 10-minute questionnaire that taps into these areas and is based on prior work addressing concerns of other pandemics or national crises. Participants will have previously consented to protocol PA15-0336 and have provided prior lifestyle data. This will allow us to connect the COVID-19 survey data with prior existing data.
NCT04169542
This study investigates the impact of COVID-19 pandemic on out-of-pocket costs, lost wages, and unemployment in patients with breast cancer undergoing breast surgery. Post-mastectomy reconstructive patients are at high risk for financial toxicity (adverse effects of escalating health care cost on well-being). The goal of this study is to collect information about financial costs patients may have as a result of surgical treatment for cancer with or without breast reconstruction and to learn if COVID-19 affects patient costs of breast reconstruction. This may help researchers demonstrate the financial consequences of undergoing breast surgery.
NCT04650178
This study investigates the experiences of cancer patients with neuropathy during the COVID-19 pandemic to learn how the COVID-19 pandemic affects their quality of life and clinical outcomes. This study will also explore whether there are differences between patients who received neurofeedback (NFB, a type of therapy that is thought to help normalize brain activity) and those who did not. Learning about quality of life in cancer patients with neuropathy during the COVID-19 pandemic may help guide development of programs and policies to improve chronic pain patient care and outcomes during a major global healthcare crisis.
NCT06528145
Persistent Covid-19 symptoms, known as long Covid, can impact healthcare provision. This study aimed to assess how symptoms persisting six months after Covid-19 affect quality of life and functional capacity.

NCT05175768
A Randomized, Double Blind, Placebo-Controlled Study to Evaluate the Effect of Nicotinamide Mononucleotide (NMN) As an Adjuvant to Standard of Care (SOC) On Fatigue Associated with COVID-19 Infection
NCT05501418
This study is to explore the safety and efficacy of using UCMSC01 in patients with COVID-19 infection via IV stem cell administration. The novelty of the current UMSC01 treatment is the single IV infusion of UMSC01 to the worldwide emergency outbreaks of COVID-19. We hypothesize that sufficient UMSC01 retention in lung may modulate the systemic inflammatory responses.
NCT05873348
A total of 30 hospitalized patients with COVID-19 over 60 years old were enrolled in this study and were divided into the experimental group (n=15) and the control group (n=15) at a ratio of 1:1. Both groups were treated according to the 2022 Shanghai guidelines for Diagnosis and Treatment of COVID-19 infection and the hierarchical diagnosis and treatment process. The experimental group was treated with fecal microbiota transplantation (FMT) capsules for 1 week, and the control group was treated with empty capsules. Patients in both groups were followed up for 1 month after discharge. To observe the effect of combined FMT capsule treatment on the regulation of inflammatory factors in peripheral blood and the remodeling of intestinal flora, and to verify its safety.
NCT04439006
This phase Ib/II trial studies the side effects and best dose of ibrutinib and how well it works in treating patients with COVID-19 requiring hospitalization. Ibrutinib may help improve COVID-19 symptoms by lessening the inflammatory response in the lungs, while preserving overall immune function. This may reduce the need to be on a ventilator to help with breathing.
