This study will repurpose medications that have already been approved for use by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for other indications to treat non-hospitalized patients that are at least 30 years old with mild to moderate COVID-19. The effectiveness of reducing COVID-19 symptoms will be evaluated by comparing the medication to a placebo or fake treatment with no therapeutic value. Participation will last about 180-days and all study visits are designed to be performed over the phone or remotely. Participants will be compensated for their time and participation in this research study.

Underserved, racial and ethnic minority communities are experiencing higher rates of COVID-19 cases and associated mortality compared to whites due to long standing social and structural inequities that also drive disparities in chronic diseases such as stroke, cardiovascular disease, diabetes, and hypertension. Patients with underlying chronic diseases who are recovering from COVID-19 depend on the support of family and friends (informal caregivers/care partners) who are being exposed to the same pandemic and racial stressors, exposure that can affect the health and quality of life of both partners. The primary goal of this study is to test the efficacy of an adapted, telehealth-enhanced intervention that targets barriers impacting family illness management behaviors of Black/African American (AA) adult COVID-19 survivors and carepartner dyads for improved quality of life and COVID/chronic illness health related outcomes.
The CRISIS2 trial will study out-patients (non-hospitalized patients) who have a
positive SARS-CoV-2 test and are symptomatic. Subjects will be randomized to
receive standard of care (SOC) + 5 days of brequinar or SOC + 5 days of placebo.
The purpose of this study is to determine if the in vitro antiviral activity of
brequinar can be duplicated in patients infected with SARS-CoV-2 by measuring
the effect of brequinar on viral shedding. Importantly, the safety and tolerability of
brequinar will also be determined in these patients. The results of this proof-of concept study will inform future studies that will help determine if brequinar is a
safe and effective drug for the treatment of SARS-CoV-2 infection.
The Overcoming Cohort study is a studies looking for variations in DNA,for populations less than or 25 years of age, that either protect people from COVID-19 disease or make them more susceptible. The study will sequence patients' entire genome or the smaller group of genes that code for proteins (exome). The study would gain a better understanding of COVID-19 that would improve diagnostic, prevention, and treatment measures.
