Disease research snapshot

CureCurrent currently links 3 distinct registered clinical trials to severe acute respiratory syndrome through its MONDO disease mappings. 0 of those studies have the registry status “recruiting” (0%). These are registry statuses, not availability guarantees, study results or evidence of effectiveness.

The leading sponsor shown in this linked dataset is American Dental Association, associated with 1 distinct linked trials. This is a count of records, not a ranking of the sponsor's scientific quality.

The highest-count mapped research city in the current result is Chicago, United States. Only site locations available in the published registry projection are counted; some trial sites may be missing or outdated.

Numbers are derived from CureCurrent's current ClinicalTrials.gov projection and conservative MONDO/RxNorm mappings. See sources, counting rules and limitations and verify eligibility or clinical findings with the original study record.

Background context

SARS

Severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) is a viral respiratory disease of zoonotic origin caused by the virus SARS-CoV-1, the first identified strain of the SARS-related coronavirus. The first known cases occurred in November 2002, and the syndrome caused the 2002–2004 SARS outbreak. In the 2010s, Chinese scientists traced the virus through the intermediary of Asian palm civets to cave-dwelling horseshoe bats in Xiyang Yi Ethnic Township, Yunnan. SARS was a relatively rare disease; at the end of the epidemic in June 2003, the incidence was 8,422 cases with a case fatality rate (CFR) of 11%. No cases of SARS-CoV-1 have been reported worldwide since 2004. In December 2019, a second strain of SARS-CoV was identified: SARS-CoV-2. This strain causes coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), the disease behind the COVID-19 pandemic.
