Around the world, researchers are working extremely hard to develop new treatments and interventions for COVID-19 with new clinical trials opening nearly every day. This directory provides you with information, including enrollment detail, about these trials. In some cases, researchers are able to offer expanded access (sometimes called compassionate use) to an investigational drug when a patient cannot participate in a clinical trial.
The information provided here is drawn from ClinicalTrials.gov. If you do not find a satisfactory expanded access program here, please search in our COVID Company Directory. Some companies consider expanded access requests for single patients, even if they do not show an active expanded access listing in this database. Please contact the company directly to explore the possibility of expanded access.
Emergency INDs
To learn how to apply for expanded access, please visit our Guides designed to walk healthcare providers, patients and/or caregivers through the process of applying for expanded access. Please note that given the situation with COVID-19 and the need to move as fast as possible, many physicians are requesting expanded access for emergency use. In these cases, FDA will authorize treatment by telephone and treatment can start immediately. For more details, consult FDA guidance. Emergency IND is the common route that patients are receiving convalescent plasma.

Viral pandemics, such as HIV and SARS-Cov-V1, have shown that they can lead to acute and / or delayed neurological complications. At the actual context of the pandemic Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), neurological manifestations seem to be confirmed since in 85% of COVID-19 patients, present neurological symptoms, including anosmia, ageusia, periorbital pain, dizziness, fatigue, even moderate headache, moderate memory and/or behavioral disorders. However, these neurological manifestations are not well studied and their radiological features are not well described. It is therefore important to assess these potential neurological complications in COVID-19 patients. To the investigator knowledge, there is no previous study in the literature describing spectral brain changes in COVID + patients. Thus, the goal of this work is to describe the radiological semiology using MRI and particularly Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopic (MRS) biomarkers in the evaluation of acute and / or delayed brain damage in COVID + patients presenting a neurological manifestations that are initially related to the cranial nerves damage.

Background: COVID-19 virus infection differs among people. Some people have no or mild symptoms. For others, COVID-19 is life threatening and causes damage to the body s organs. Researchers want to better understand the virus to learn how to kill it. Objective: To understand how the COVID-19 virus causes wide differences in how sick one can become from the infection. Eligibility: People ages 18-80 with COVID-19 infection Design: Participants will be screened with a review of their medical records. Participants who enter the study at the beginning of their COVID-19 infection will stay in the hospital until they are healthy enough to go home. Those who enter after they have recovered may need to stay in the hospital 1-2 nights to perform the study tests. Participants will have MRI and CT scans of the brain, heart, and lungs. They will lie in a machine that takes pictures of the body. For the MRI, soft padding or a coil will be placed around their head and chest. They may receive a dye injected into a vein. Participants will have an ultrasound of the kidneys and heart. Participants will provide blood and urine samples. They will provide nasal swabs. Participants will have a bronchoscopy. A thin tube will be placed through the nose or mouth into the airway. Saltwater will be squirted into the lungs and removed by suction. Participants may provide a spinal fluid sample. A needle injected into the spinal canal will obtain fluid. Participants will have lung and heart function tests. At various points after recovery, participants will repeat many of these tests.

The study hypothesis is that low-dose computed tomography (LDCT) coupled with artificial intelligence by deep learning would generate imaging biomarkers linked to the patient's short- and medium-term prognosis. The purpose of this study is to rapidly make available an early decision-making tool (from the first hospital consultation of the patient with symptoms related to SARS-CoV-2) based on the integration of several biomarkers (clinical, biological, imaging by thoracic scanner) allowing both personalized medicine and better anticipation of the patient's evolution in terms of care organization.

Until now there is no vaccine or reliable treatment for the COVID-19 pandemic. The fundamental mechanisms of non-invasive low-level laser in photobiomodulation (PBM) and photodynamic therapy is to stimulate the mitochondrial respiratory chain where a transient release of non-cytotoxic levels of reactive oxygen species (ROS) will lead to positive modulation of the immune response. As previous studies mentioned that the most important strategy for COVID-19 management is oxygenation and faster rehabilitation of the damaged tissue, antiviral effects, and, finally, reduction or controlling the cytokine storm by reducing inflammatory agents. PBM may be used as adjuvant therapy or even an alternative therapy in all these mechanisms without side effects and drug interactions. Objectives The objective of this clinical trial is to use the photobiomodulation therapy (PBMT), and photodynamic therapy as adjuvant therapy or even an alternative therapy for Covide-19. Patients and methods A randomized controlled study will be conducted on 60 patients of positive COVID 19. The patients will be divided into 3 equal groups. Group, I will receive a low-level laser (diode laser 980nm) from laser watch for 30 minutes, 20 J for 3 to 5 days, and laser acupuncture. Group 2 will be treated with photodynamic therapy by injecting the methylene blue as a photosensitizer and irradiated with laser watch (diode laser 670 nm). Group 3 will serve as a control. Evaluation methods will include laboratory investigations and CT chest.

During the current pandemic, in Italy the majority of asymptomatic or pauci-symptomatic COVID-19 cases were not identified nor diagnosed and this fact caused a decrease in the effectiveness of the various containment measures implemented. Therefore, in a future scenario where a new viral swarm is expected, the early identification of all infected cases becomes essential to plan and activate a containment strategy for the spread of the virus, given the current absence of vaccines. The typical radiological finding of COVID-19 is an interstitial pneumonia, which can be responsible, in a significant portion of patients, of an acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). Low-dose chest CT and simple blood tests could identify sub-solid pulmonary nodules (SSNs) indicative of COVID-19 infection in asymptomatic subjects. Objectives of this observational study are the early detection of COVID-19 markers indicative of prior exposure or persisting viral infection in asymptomatic subjects and the assessment of the frequency and outcome of COVID-19-related SSNs in asymptomatic subjects by time, domicile, and other individual risk factors. SMILE lung CT screening program cohort has been considered, based on 960 subjects at high lung cancer risk for tobacco smoking (≥20 pack/year) and age (50-75 years), together with inflammatory and respiratory profile. SMILE utilizes a top technology dual-source CT scanner (Somatom Force) with the lowest radiation dose ever applied to lung screening. All chest CT images from screening subjects will be re-evaluated by two additional CAD programs, specifically designed for the analysis of SSNs and quantification of the total volume of lung parenchyma showing an increased density. This re-evaluation will improve the sensitivity and specificity of radiomic assessment. This study cohort, enriched by the already established longitudinal biobank of frozen plasma samples, represent an ideal opportunity to assess the frequency of SSNs in asymptomatic subjects, due to the effect of COVID-19, particularly among subjects living in areas at high risk of viral exposure. It will also be possible to evaluate if COVID-19-related SSNs are associated with chronic co-morbidity, other individual risk factors, inflammatory (CRP) / immunomodulatory (25(OH)D) blood profile, and/or can be traced by immune markers such as IgM/IgG and other cytokines. Clinical data will be integrated with an analysis of the IgG-IgM profile specific for covid-19, on the plasma samples taken at the time of the CT scan, or subsequently, in collaboration with University of Milan, Luigi Devoto Work Clinic. The lasting collaboration with the Radiological Science Department of the University of Parma in lung screening also offers the opportunity to validate the results obtained in this cohort on chest CT performed at the University Parma Hospital during the last two months in symptomatic subjects for suspected covid-19 pneumonia. In collaboration with University of Milano Bicocca, Machine Learning (ML) tools will be applied to predict the clinical relevance, severity and ultimate outcome of SSNs, based on radiomic CT features, epidemiologic risk, co-morbidity and inflammatory/immune blood biomarkers. ML analysis will generate a predictive algorithm for clinical outcome of SSNs, and specifically the risk of COV-I9 infection and unfavorable disease prognosis.

This phase Ib/II trial studies the side effects and best dose of ibrutinib and how well it works in treating patients with COVID-19 requiring hospitalization. Ibrutinib may help improve COVID-19 symptoms by lessening the inflammatory response in the lungs, while preserving overall immune function. This may reduce the need to be on a ventilator to help with breathing.

A population-based COVID19 surveillance in a household cohort will be set-up using an existing Household demographic surveillance system (HDSS). From any individual in this population with any respiratory symptom or loss of smell or taste, with or without fever, investigators will collect a respiratory specimen and test these for SARS-CoV-2 virus, during 12 months. Demographic, epidemiological and clinical data of possible cases and of the source population will be recorded at baseline. An age-stratified serial sero-survey will be conducted at baseline in a subset of the population in the population-based COVID19 surveillance, and at 3, 6 and 12 months, after confirmation of community transmission.
