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.

The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) initially developed at the beginning of December 2019 in Whuan, Hubei province of China has spread all over the world. Beside the most common symptoms at onset of illness including fever, fatigue, dry cough, myalgia and dyspnoea, there are less common symptoms such as headache abdominal pain, diarrhoea, nausea and vomiting. The proportion of patients complaining gastrointestinal symptoms is variable between 3,4% and 17,0%. Interestingly, the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV2) RNA has been reported to be detectable in 50% of patients' stool samples and in these patients around the 50% had diarrhoea. SARS-CoV2 transmission has been reported to be through droplets. However, mounting evidence indicates that SARS-CoV2 has a tropism for the gastrointestinal tract and is excreted with faeces. Accordingly, a faecal-oral route of transmission of the virus has been recently postulated. Indeed, SARS-CoV2 binds to host ACE 2 receptors (ACE2) to entry into cells which are abundantly expressed by intestinal epithelial cells and regulate intestinal inflammation. Taken together, this evidence could provide a rational basis for the development of gastrointestinal symptoms reported by COVID19 infected patients. Primary aim: to evaluate the prevalence and prognosis of gastrointestinal symptoms in patients admitted to hospital for COVID19 disease Secondary aims 1. to evaluate long term consequences of COVID-19 on gastrointestinal symptoms 2. to evaluate long term consequences of COVID-19 on the development of post-infection irritable bowel syndrome (PI-IBS) 3. to evaluate long term consequences of COVID-19 on the development of post-infection dyspepsia 4. to assess the clinical and laboratory predictors (risk factors) of post-infection gastrointestinal symptom development

The purpose of this study was to conduct an epidemiological survey of the pediatric population via SARS CoV-2 IgG antibody testing in order to evaluate the incidence of asymptomatic infection and seropositivity among children and establish risk factors of infection and characterization of asymptomatic carriers. Additionally, among seropositive children, antibody titers will be explored in order to reach a better understanding of the relationship between immunity over time after different types of initial exposures. Methods Study Design and Population A prospective epidemiological survey was conducted in the Pediatric Emergency Department (ED) of the Shaare Zedek Medical Center, a tertiary medical center in Jerusalem, Israel, between October 2020 and January 2021. All patients presenting to the pediatric ED during the study period and requiring blood tests or and IV insertion for any clinical reason were considered eligible to participate in the study. The parents and/or legal guardians of these patients gave oral consent for an additional 1-3 ml of blood to be sent for Sars-CoV-2 antibody testing. In addition, all consenting parent/guardians filled out a comprehensive questionnaire regarding demographic background, past medical history, and specific Covid-19 details such as exposures to carriers, past PCR testing, symptoms etc. All patients with positive serology results were contacted by phone and updated of the test results. Laboratory testing All blood samples were collected in a clot-activator test tube. Initial testing was conducted using the Abbott SARS-CoV-2 IgG assay. A positive result was considered a value above 1.5 with 0.8 - 1.4 cosidered grayzone results. All positive and grayzone results were then retested in the DiaSoren LIAISON® SARS-CoV-2 S1/S2 IgG assay. Statistical Analysis Statistical analysis was conducted using SPSS Statistics for Windows, Version 25.0. Armonk, NY: IBM Corp. Clinical variables were analyzed using the Chi-squared test for categorical variables and the t-test for continuous variables. All statistical tests were two-way tests and P value of 5% or less was considered statistically significant.
IRCCS San Raffaele
This retrospective-prospective longitudinal observational study was designed to evaluate the role of bedside lung ultrasound per se and in association with hemogasanalysis parameters in predicting the severity of COVID-19 patients in the Emergency Departement (ED). Retrospective data regarding patients who presented at the ED of IRCCS San Raffaele Hospital from 10/11/2020, together with those acquired by the observation of patients who will access to the ED until 10/05/2021 will be collected, configuring a total enrollment period of 6 months. Clinical informations about patients' medical history will be recorded, with particular focus on the type and date of onset of the symptoms. The diagnostic and therapeutic strategy will be chosen according to the current standard of care. Results of bedside lung ultrasound, together with vital parameters, blood gas analysis, laboratory and other findings will be recorded. The primary outcome will be defined as patients' outcome at time of discharge from the ED, in terms of intensity of required care (home discharge, low or high-intensity care hospitalization, death). Secondary outcomes will be patients' prognosis 30 days after access to ED and the required intensity of care (eg need for non-invasive ventilation, oro-tracheal intubation).The follow-up 30 days after access to the ED will be evaluated by telephone survey or by consulting medical records.
University Hospital, Antwerp
In this monocentric, prospective and descriptive trial we want to evaluate the long-term consequences for patients treated for Covid-19. Covid patients who were hospitalized for min. 5 days either in a Covid-19 department or in intensive care unit will be followed-up for 8 weeks after hospital discharge. This is done via an innovative electronic platform in the home environment (UZA@home). On the one hand the quality of life, rehabilitation and reintegration of the patient will be evaluated and on the other hand the patient will be screened for various psychosocial aspects such as anxiety, depression and post-traumatic stress syndrome.

It is speculated that in adult patients with COVID-19 blood type A is associated with the worst outcome, while blood type O is associated with mild symptoms.To our knowledge, there has been no such a study investigated ABO and Rhesus (Rh) blood group types in children with COVID-19 infection yet. Therefore, the study aimed to examine if such a correlation exists in children infected with COVID-19.

The pandemic caused by SARS-CoV-2 is a global emergency present in 6 continents including 66 countries, incurring a shortage of effective and safe therapeutic alternatives that can contribute to reducing the risk of contamination, as well as helping to reduce the viral load of the positive patient. This requires a coordinated, effective and immediate action on the part of governments, companies, academic entities and even at the individual level. In the search for new therapeutic and prevention alternatives, the application of hypochlorous acid (HClO) to the nasal mucosa is proposed, a broad-spectrum and fast-acting antimicrobial solution, whose safety has been proven in preclinical trials. The efficacy of HClO has been tested against enveloped and non-enveloped viruses, reducing virus particles without affecting human cells. This solution could contribute to reducing the viral load and the risk of contamination of patients and professionals. This could have an impact on controlling the COVID-19 pandemic.
