This clinical imaging study will use the small molecule translocator protein (TSPO) ligand, Fluorodeoxyglucose(18F)-labeled DPA-714, to visualize and quantify neuroinflammation in individuals with post-acute sequelae of SARS-CoV-2 (PASC) . The brain uptake of DPA-714 will be contrasted with healthy subjects.
Researchers are looking for other ways to prevent severe illness from COVID-19. COVID-19 is a virus that most often causes mild flu or cold-like symptoms. However, people with certain health conditions or other factors have a high risk (chance) of getting severely ill from COVID-19, which can require a hospital stay or lead to death. Some people who are high risk for severe illness may be unable to take certain treatments for COVID-19 because they are not available to them, or they take other medicines that may react with a treatment and cause an unwanted effect. Molnupiravir (MK-4482) is a study medicine designed to stop the COVID-19 virus from copying itself in the body (multiplying). The goal of this study is to learn if molnupiravir prevents severe illness from COVID-19 more than placebo in people who are high risk.
Background: People who get COVID-19 have a wide range of symptoms. They also recover from COVID-19 in different ways. In this study, researchers will use survey data to describe the different ways people experience and recover from COVID-19. They will also use the data to help create future studies to understand why some people do not fully recover. Objective: To learn more about the range and timing of symptoms that people have before, during, and after COVID-19 infection. Eligibility: People ages 18 and older who can give documentation of a positive COVID-19 or antibody test. Design: Participants will be screened with a telephone interview. It will take 15 minutes. They will provide their COVID-19 test results and medical records. Participants will complete a second telephone interview. It will take 30 60 minutes. They will also take online surveys every 3 months for 3 years. The interview and surveys will ask participants about their health before they got COVID-19, what happened while they had COVID-19, and what their recovery has been like. Participants will get log-in data to take the online surveys. Completing all of the surveys the first time may take up to 3 hours. Follow-up surveys will take up to 30 minutes. Participants do not have to complete the surveys in one sitting. They will be able to save their progress and finish the surveys later. Participants may be contacted to take part in other research studies.
This is a prospective study, involving contacting potential plasma donors and the use of their plasma to help fight off infections of those suffering from COVID19 in accordance to collection guidelines for plasma and FDA IND requirement. This study will include up to 240 participants potentially receiving convalescent plasma and up to 1000 potential donors. There are 3 basic arms to the study: mild, moderate and severe/critical severity. All 3 severity groups are eligible for enrollment, but mild severity will not be given plasma unless there is progression. Moderate severity will given up to 1 unit of plasma and severe/critical severity up to 2 units. There is no placebo group, however given the excepted issues of shortages of plasma, intention to treat will be used for analysis.
This is a single center, single arm exploratory imaging study involving up to two intravenous microdoses of \[18F\]F-AraG (the second tracer dose is optional) followed by whole-body PET-CT imaging in participants with convalescent COVID-19. Up to 80 participants will be enrolled over an accrual period of approximately 48 months.
The purpose for this study is to determine if the study drug baricitinib is effective and safe in hospitalized pediatric participants with Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID -19) and to confirm the dose.
The human immune system is designed to protect individuals from external sources of infection and internal cell mutation. It works effectively and efficiently until inflammation disturbs its functioning. Once compromised by inflammation, the immune system loses its capacity to recognize antigens and dependably defend the body against disease and illness. When COVID-19 invades humans, it causes an immune-storm (cytokine-storm) that can directly damage the organ(s), leading to death. The virus is an antigen - a trigger - but it is not the actual reason that causes organ failure and death; instead, it is the body's over immune reaction that is the cause. In attempting to protect the body, the immune system overreacts to the antigen, which includes the infected cells, which causes a cytokine-storm, and the subsequent and rapid shut down of the infected individual's organ(s)' structure, leaving the body without sufficient strength or time to fight back. When the medical herbs join the body, it can slow down the immune reaction. Medical herbs benefit the physical body; they protect the cells and organism structure and mediate the immune response, allowing the T cells to kill the virus (mutated or not) internally. Such success has been achieved by the All Natural Medicine Clinic during pre-clinical trials. This clinical study's goal is to demonstrate that the immune system can be rebuilt and retrained, using natural medicine (i.e., medical herbs), to kill the virus without causing the immune storm, and to explore the mechanism by which these medical herbs, which have been used for thousands of years for healing, achieve results.
This Phase 2 Randomized Placebo Controlled Trial will determine if administering nebulized Dornase Alpha (rhDNase) to COVID-19 patients with respiratory failure is safe and will reduce 28-day mortality.

The objective of the COVID-19 International Drug Pregnancy Registry (COVID-PR) is to evaluate obstetric, neonatal, and infant outcomes among women treated with monoclonal antibodies or antiviral drugs indicated for mild, moderate, or severe COVID-19 from the first day of the last menstrual period (LMP) to end of pregnancy. For monoclonal antibodies, the exposure period also includes 90 days prior to the first day of the LMP.
