Developing and Testing a COVID-19 Vaccination Acceptance Intervention
open to eligible people ages 18 years and up
The COVID-19 pandemic has resulted in significant loss of life and suffering with total case and death counts increasing daily, particularly with the emergence of the delta variant. COVID-19 vaccines have proven highly effective in preventing severe illness, hospitalization, and death. Nevertheless, according to VA data sources, only 56% of all U.S. Veterans have been vaccinated to date, largely owing to vaccine hesitancy and lack of access to vaccination. Thus, there is a critical need for evidence-based interventions to increase COVID-19 vaccine acceptance and access among Veterans, many of whom are vulnerable to poor outcomes of COVID-19. The overall goal of this study is to increase COVID-19 vaccination in Veterans of VISNs 16 and 21 who remain unvaccinated either because of vaccine hesitancy or lack of access to COVID-19 vaccine. Specifically, the investigators will test a COVID-19 Vaccine Acceptance Intervention (Motivational Interviewing) plus Implementation Facilitation.

Evaluation of Immunologic Response Following COVID-19 Vaccination in Children, Adolescents, and Young Adults With Cancer
open to eligible people ages 6 months to 37 years
This study evaluates immunologic response following COVID-19 vaccination in children, adolescents, and young adults with cancer. Vaccines work by stimulating the body's immune cells to respond against a specific disease. The immune response produces protection from that disease. Effects from cancer and from treatments for cancer can reduce the body's natural disease fighting ability (called immunity). Factors such as vaccine type, timing of vaccine dosing related to treatment for cancer and number of vaccine doses or "boosts" (extra vaccine shots) may strengthen or diminish the body's protective immune response. This study may help researchers learn more about how the body's immune system responds to the COVID-19 vaccine when the vaccination is given during or after cancer treatment.

A Study to Learn About the Study Medicines (Nirmatrelvir Plus Ritonavir) in People Aged 12 Years or Older With COVID-19 and a Compromised Immune System
Sorry, not currently recruiting here
The purpose of this clinical trial is to learn about the safety and effects of the study medicine (called Nirmatrelvir/Ritonavir) for the possible treatment of COVID-19. Patients with COVID-19 who have more difficulty in fighting against infections have a higher chance of severe illness. Such patients may benefit from longer treatment durations compared to the standard treatment regimen. The study is seeking participants who: - Have a confirmed COVID-19 infection - Are Immunocompromised - Experience onset of signs/symptoms attributable to the current COVID-19 infection within 5 days prior to screening and ≥1 signs/symptoms attributable to COVID-19 present on the day of randomization. In addition, this study will also evaluate the efficacy and safety of a second treatment course of nirmatrelvir/ritonavir in people who experience that their COVID-19 is flaring up within 14 days of having taken a 5-day treatment course of nirmatrelvir/ritonavir. For this group, the study is seeking participants who: - Have a confirmed COVID-19 infection - Experience a worsening of signs/symptoms after completing an initial 5-day course of nirmatrelvir/ritonavir - The worsening of COVID-19 symptoms must occur within 14 days after completion of the initial 5-day course of nirmatrelvir/ritonavir - Are Immunocompromised - Experience onset of signs/symptoms attributable to the current COVID-19 infection within 48 hours prior to screening and ≥1 signs/symptoms attributable to COVID-19 present on the day of randomization. All participants will be taking the study medicine for either 5, 10, or 15 days. The study medication will be taken by mouth 2 times a day. Participants will take part in this study for about 24 weeks. The first dose of study medication is taken at the study site and the rest at home.

ACTIV-2: A Study for Outpatients With COVID-19
Sorry, in progress, not accepting new patients
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.
