Drug studies often look at the effect one or two drugs have on a medical condition, and involve one company. There is currently an urgent need for one study to efficiently test multiple drugs from more than one company, in people who have tested positive for COVID-19 but who do not currently need hospitalization. This could help prevent disease progression to more serious symptoms and complications, and spread of COVID-19 in the community. This study looks at the safety and effectiveness of different drugs in treating COVID-19 in outpatients. In Phase II, participants in the study will be treated with either a study drug or with placebo. In protocol version 7.0, participants in Phase III of the study will be treated with either a study drug or active comparator drug. Participants assigned to the bamlanivimab agent/placebo arm and will have 28 days of intensive follow-up following study drug administration, followed by limited follow-up through 24 weeks in phase II and in phase III. All other investigational agents and their corresponding placebo arms will involve 28 days of intensive follow-up, followed by limited follow-up through 72 weeks in phase II and phase III. Additional study visits may be required, depending on the agent.

Background: COVID-19 affected African Americans more than Whites. African Americans, especially women, have had higher rates of COVID-19 infections compared to Whites. They are also more likely to go to the hospital or die of this disease. Many researchers who looked into these issues lacked background data on the people they studied. SELF is a 10-year study of fibroids in African American women aged 23-35. Researchers already have a lot of data on these women. Asking how COVID-19 affected them can add context other studies lack. Objective: To describe the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on young African American women and their families. Eligibility: Participants must be enrolled in SELF (Study of Environment, Lifestyle, and Fibroids). Design: Researchers will invite all women enrolled in SELF to participate in this natural history study. Participants will complete one questionnaire. They will answer the questions online. They may also choose to get a paper copy sent by mail. The survey will take no more than 15-20 minutes. All questions will relate to COVID-19. Participants will be asked if they had COVID-19. They will be asked if family, friends, or members of their community did. They will answer questions about their vaccine status and access to health care services. Participants will also answer questions about how the pandemic affected their lives. They will be asked about their job and if finding childcare was a challenge. They will be asked about money problems and how they coped. They will be asked about sleep problems and emotional distress. Participants will get a $30 gift card after they finish the survey.

Diaphragm is the principal muscle of inspiration. Diaphragmatic dysfunction is seen in many conditions including following intubation, lung disease, prolonged ventilation, neuromuscular disease, phrenic nerve injury. The possible mechanisms of diaphragmatic dysfunction in patients with COVID19 are critical illness myopathy, ventilator-induced diaphragm dysfunction, iatrogenic phrenic nerve injury particularly secondary to line placement, post-infectious inflammatory neuropathy of the phrenic nerve, or possibly direct neuromuscular involvement of the SARS- CoV-2 virus given expression of the angiotensin- converting enzyme 2 (ACE2) receptor in the peripheral nervous system and skeletal muscle. The use of diaphragmatic ultrasound has been widely used to assess diaphragmatic function is well known in patients following prolonged mechanical ventilation. Prolonged mechanical ventilation leads to contractile dysfunction of respiratory muscles, in particular the diaphragm, causing a so-called ventilator-induced diaphragm dysfunction. The latter is defined as a loss of diaphragm force-generating capacity specifically related to the use of mechanical ventilation. However, the use of diaphragmatic Ultrasound to assess its function in Long COVID patients has not been noted and is a gap in the work up of these patients. The purpose of this study is to address Diaphragmatic Dysfunctional (DD) breathing seen in patients with Post-Acute Sequelae of COVID-19 (PASC), which results in shortness of breath/chest tightness and subsequent fatigue. Targeting shortness of breath and subsequent fatigue as a central symptom of PASC will alleviate long term sequelae for the patients with PASC. DD will be addressed by a unique intervention of physical therapy. The goal of this prospective randomized clinical study will be to evaluate the comparative treatment effect of DB on markers, specifically fatigue, dyspnea, 6 min walk test, depression/anxiety, and quality of life (QoL).

This two-year study will evaluate the feasibility and safety of an exercise + cognitive training program to improve neurological symptoms of long-COVID. This is a two-phased trial: 1) an exercise phase and 2) a cognitive training phase. The exercise phase will be an aquatic based exercise program. A combination exercise + memory training programs designed for persons with cognitive impairment have significantly improved memory more than other single intervention groups (exercise only, cognitive training only) and given the success of combination training programs with healthy adults, it is important to adapt these programs for persons with neurological symptoms of long-COVID.

A group of clinicians and researchers developed an 8-session group intervention that integrates education, support, self-reflection, and action-expectation to help people reaffirm or reconstruct self-grounded purpose after significant life events/transitions. The 8 sessions extend over 2-3 months, with 7 weekly sessions and the final session 1 month after Session 7. The intervention, called the Compass Course is structured around the 6 dimensions of flourishing (autonomy, self-acceptance, personal growth, relationships, purpose in life, external mastery), the goal of which is to help people enact behaviors that move them forward in reframing a sense of self and reaffirming or reconstructing a sense of purpose in their daily lives. Participating in this research will involve an introduction session, where informed consent will be obtained, followed by the 8-session intervention for 9 sessions in total. A team composed of researchers from Courage Kenny Rehabilitation Institute (CKRI) propose to recruit a convenience sample of individuals who were hospitalized with COVID-19 to evaluate the efficacy of administering the Compass Course to a novel population, to improve psychological well-being, engagement in everyday activities, and purpose in life. A focus group will be scheduled 2 months after the completion of the Compass Course. This session is composed of brief questionnaires and designed to obtain post-course data to help evaluate the Compass Course intervention.

The purpose of the pilot study is to examine acceptability and proof of concept effectiveness of a wireless TENS technology to address PASC associated FM. Sample size (n=30) is convenient and designed to explore acceptability and feasibility. Participants, who satisfy the inclusion and exclusion criteria and sign the informed consent form will be randomly assigned with ratio of 1:1 into two groups. One group will utilize TENS high-dose devices (Intervention group, IG); the other group will utilize TENS low-dose devices (Placebo group, PG). The baseline measurements will be performed, and the patients will take the programmed device home for a duration of 4 weeks. Then, the patients will come back after four weeks (4W). At this 4th week visit, both groups will be unblinded and the IG will keep their high-dose TENS device and the PG group will switch from a low-dose TENS to a high-dose TENS device. Both groups will continue to deliver 3-5 hour of stimulation daily, until their final 8th week follow up visit (8W). The primary outcome will be pain. Secondary outcomes include fatigue, limb strength and perfusion, gait assessment (cadence, stride time, double support), balance, pulse oximetry, and quality of life. The coordinator will utilize a weekly spreadsheet showing utilization (therapy sessions/day, logged in the Quell health Cloud) so compliance can be monitored and those that are not using the device can be encouraged.
