COVID-19 Infection

This is a Phase 3, randomized, actively controlled, double-blinded, double-dummy, superiority study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of ibuzatrelvir alone and in combination with remdesivir IV compared to remdesivir IV alone for the treatment of symptomatic COVID-19 in severely immunocompromised adult participants who are non-hospitalized or are hospitalized for observation or study intervention administration but do not require supplemental oxygen for COVID-19.

The study investigates how the COVID-19 pandemic has impacted the psychological, financial, physical, and social well-being of adolescent and young adult (AYA) cancer patients and survivors. AYA cancer survivors have inferior long-term survival compared to the general population, and the negative impact of the global COVID-19 pandemic may be even higher in this vulnerable group. The information gained from this study may provide an opportunity to determine the self-reported COVID-19 specific psychological distress in AYA cancer survivors, and may lead to the development of a targeted intervention to improve physical and psychosocial health for AYA cancer patients and survivors.

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.

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.

This study investigates the changes in practice by pulmonary procedural programs across the United States as they faced the coronavirus pandemic. 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.

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.

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).

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.

The purpose of the UCSD Human Milk Biorepository is to establish and maintain a repository of breast milk samples that can be used to learn more about how breast milk influences infant and child health.

COVID-19-related depression, anxiety, and stigma are expected to have short-term and long-term adverse impacts on mental health, help seeking and preventive behaviours in affected individuals, including care providers and the general population. Health qigong (HQ), a form of traditional Chinese martial arts with emphasis placed on the body movement and status of mind, has been demonstrated to enhance both physical and mental health. Mindfulness-based interventions (MBIs), another mind-body treatment, have become increasingly popular for treating a number of health problems. This study proposes an integrated intervention that combines the effects of HQ and MBIs (iMBHQ) to improve the mental wellbeing of COVID-19 survivors, caregivers including healthcare providers and family members as well as the general public in the community.

The goal of this observational study is to evaluate the protective effect of immune barrier on secondary infection after COVID-19 (coronavirus disease 2019) vaccination or COVID-19 virus Omicron B A. 5.2 strain infection by dynamically monitoring the COVID-19 antibody titer, cellular immune function and the occurrence of secondary infection of healthy participants, mainly medical staff in our hospital, to understand the cross protective effect of COVID-19 antibody on different variants of Omicron, and explore the best time to use COVID-19 vaccine to strengthen immunity after Omicron mutant infection.
