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.

COVID-19 is an infectious disease caused by a newly discovered Coronavirus which was first identified in Wuhan, China in December 2019. Then the novel coronavirus outbreak was described and announced as a pandemic by World Health Organization (WHO) on March 11, 2020. Reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) is currently the gold standard test for diagnosis of COVID-19. Nevertheless, due to its high false-negative rates (%10-50), diagnosis and treatment decisions do not depend on RT-PCR alone. Clinical presentation of patient and radiological findings are also important. However, neither clinical presentation nor computed tomography (CT) findings are specific for COVID-19. As a consequence of these challenges, the diagnosis of the disease and the protection of the community health become more difficult. The investigators of this study hypothesized that deep learning-based decision support system may help for definitive diagnosis of COVID-19. The aim is to develop a deep learning-based decision support system algorithm based on clinical presentation of patient, laboratory and CT findings and RT-PCR data. Previously, deep learning algorithms with the use of widely known deep neural network architectures such as Inception, UNet, ResNet were developed. However all of these studies were based on CT findings. There are not any deep learning study in literature combining the clinical, radiological, and laboratory findings of patients. The project is based on the available data of COVID-19 patients that will be obtained from the Ministry of Health. Then the data will be evaluated for relevance and reliability and labeled for the training of machine. Following the anonymization of data, data will be processed according to the predetermined inclusion-exclusion criteria. Thorax CT data will be labeled as typical / indeterminate / atypical / negative for COVID-19 pneumonia. Also, CT images of patients with known non-COVID-19 diseases will be labeled for the training of machine. Then, fever, lymphocyte count, neutrophil to lymphocyte ratio, contact information, RT-PCR findings will be labeled. Subsequently, the patients will be labeled and the machine will be trained with deep learning method with the help of this grouped and labeled data. Following the training phase, the algorithm will be tested and if the machine reaches the target specificity and sensitivity, the prototype will be tested. And then, the prototype will be embedded into the hospital software system. This software and algorithm will serve as an early warning system for clinicians and provide a better diagnostic rate especially with decreasing false-negative results. The effects of a pandemic cannot be measured by only the number of people diagnosed and isolated, or treatment provided. A pandemic affects not only community health but also individuals' psychological status, education, teaching methods, working models, daily lifestyles, producer/consumer behaviors, supply/demand balance; in other words every single area of life. On top of that, a pandemic causes long-term damages hard to reverse. The software will increase the diagnostic success rates, help to control the pandemic and minimize the collateral damages mentioned above. The investigators believe that, the product that will be produced at the end of this project will be of great benefit in controlling the secondary wave of COVID-19 expected to occur.

During the COVID-19 pandemic, the French Agency of Biomedicine has recommended maintaining fertility preservation for patients requiring immediate oncological treatments exhibiting gonadotoxic effects. However, no study has examined the presence of SARS-CoV-2 in sperm from cancer patients. This study aims therefore to detect the presence of SARS-CoV-2, specifically in the seminal fluid and the spermatozoa fractions of cancer patient semen. The investigators will determine if the virus presence in sperm is associated with its presence in the nasal swabs, COVID symptoms, specific serological profiles and particular oncological pathologies/treatments.

As of 27th May 2020, approximately 5.7 million people worldwide are known to have been infected with COVID-19 coronavirus and more than 350,000 have died (1). The severity of this viral disease for an individual is associated with a widespread perturbation of immune, physiological and metabolic parameters (2, 3). These whole body changes could be considered characteristic of a systemic inflammatory response to tissue injury and it has been long recognised that a large and ongoing systemic inflammatory response is associated with the development of multiple organ failure and infective disease (4, 5). One of the cardinal signs of severe COVID-19 infection is a marked systemic inflammatory response (2). This response bears striking similarity to the systemic inflammatory response experienced by patients undergoing major elective surgical resections for cancer (6, 7). Indeed, the systemic inflammatory response and the associated metabolic stress has been most well characterised in major elective surgery, where the relationship between the magnitude of the post-operative systemic inflammatory response and the development of post-operative complications is now well recognised, as is the effect of patient comorbidity on this relationship (8, 9). Such work has informed therapeutic manoeuvres including minimally invasive surgery, pre-operative optimisation (e.g. anaesthesia, nutrition and steroids) and enhanced recovery protocols. The aim of the present study was to examine whether routinely collected clinicopathological characteristics of patients with COVID-19 on admission were informative on the immune and metabolic stress experienced by patients with COVID-19 and whether such characteristics were informative on subsequent outcome.
University Hospital, Toulouse
There is a pandemic in the world by COVID-19. Currently, the pharmacological curative or prophylactic treatments for this infection are not known. Recent studies have suggested that Hydroxy-Chloroquine could be effective in vitro and in vivo against COVID-19. The main objective of this study is to assess in patients with autoimmune disease treated with long course Hydroxy-Chloroquine initiated before the pandemic COVID-19 had an independent protective effect on the risk or the severity of infection with COVID-19.

Novel coronavirus disease 19 (COVID-19) is caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), this pneumonia was first emerged in December 2019 in Wuhan, China and rapidly spread around the world . Coagulopathy is one of the most significant prognostic factors in patients with COVID-19 and is associated with increased mortality and admission to critical care. Most observed coagulopathy in patients hospitalized with COVID-19 (COVID-19-associated coagulopathy) is characterized by increased D-dimer and fibrinogen levels. 71% of patients who did not survive hospitalization reported to have developed disseminated intravascular coagulation
