About this study

Official title: Methodological Design for Evaluating the Immune Capacity of Bivalve Fluids From Anodonta Cygnea in SARS and COVID-19 Human Infection: Intelligent Medicine Integration.

The present work proposes to find if a bio-active composite in the hemolymph or plasma of the freshwater bivalve Anodonta cygnea is able to offer immunity and specificity for meliorating the major symptoms in human SARS and COVID-19 lineage infection. The Methodology concerns in silico procedures using organic fluids from 54 bivalves (in very specific conditions) to evaluate their therapeutic effects in 6 voluntary SARS and COVID-19 infected persons with an integrative diagnosis by a computational Mora®Nova apparatus to access the basal and experimental human physiological parameters.

Read the detailed description

A deep and consistent study will be developed with an increase in the human sampling for better understanding the intervention efficacy of this intelligence medicine integrator, the Mora® Nova method. These in silico experiments when associated with the bioresonance frequencies from stimulated hemolymph compounds of the freshwater bivalve A. cygnea, may lead us to expect high plasticity and immunological potential.

Obviously, additional in vitro studies in future, with adequate culture cell lineages in different conditions and with bioresonance treatment by Mora® Nova method, should also be accomplished with hemolymph/plasma interference to confirm the pertinence, and the real efficacy on SARS / COVID-19 infection as well as to clarify the respective biological mechanisms.

In addition, to analyze and evaluate any specific bioactive compound from the induced hemolymph condition needs molecular experiments which can give deep structural information concerning any efficient molecule against the SARS / COVID-19 virus lineage and respective mutants. Effectively, according to current scientific opinion, the virus mutation phenomenon leads to great and problematic difficulty for maintaining the collective and human global immunization. In this case, the present Mora methodology offers a very functional, dynamic, and efficient process when combined with a biological model, as the bivalve A. cygnea, with high plasticity and eventual molecular reconstructive adaptation. This Mora procedure can extend to other immune-depressive diseases namely cancer, rheumatoid arthritis, and neurodegenerative diseases combining with respective stimulated bivalve fluids. It suggests opening a promising future perspective when applied to large human sampling as well as with in vitro cellular assays.

In addition, to explore this research with in vitro cell cultures and to do the characterization and the effects from bio-compounds on similar diseases is our close objective.

A Phase 2 study testing Marine liquid and fluids, Impregnation and Incubation in people with Coronavirus Infections and Coronavirus Sars-Associated, run by Universidade do Porto at 2 sites in Portugal.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 1 inclusion and 1 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 15 Apr 2022. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 2 sites in Portugal. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Pulmonary system (time frame: T0 - Day 1 - Baseline). The study lists 15 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT05054075, which also lists 6 linked publications.

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 15 Apr 2022.
