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.
Search Tips
To search this directory, simply type a drug name, condition, company name, location, or other term of your choice into the search bar and click SEARCH. For broadest results, type the terms without quotation marks; to narrow your search to an exact match, put your terms in quotation marks (e.g., “acute respiratory distress syndrome” or “ARDS”). You may opt to further streamline your search by using the Status of the study and Intervention Type options. Simply click one or more of those boxes to refine your search.

In this study, the investigators will explore the reasons for the apparently lower proportion of severe COVID-19 cases in many sub-Sahara African countries. Indeed, despite fragile health care systems, the burden of COVID-19 on the African continent seems substantially lower than initially feared. Many potential reasons for this discrepancy have been formulated: the different population age structure, experience of African nations with previous pandemics, warmer climate, and genetic preposition. However, another compelling hypothesis is that of trained immunity by endemic pathogens, such as plasmodia. According to this hypothesis, innate immune activation by endemic pathogens would prime a more robust initial innate immune response to SARS-CoV-2 and could therefore protect against severe COVID-19. To explore this, the investigators propose conducting a case-control study in Kinshasa, in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC). Kinshasa is an area with mixed prevalence of malaria and the area in DRC most affected by COVID-19. In this setting, the investigators will compare cases of severe COVID-19 with controls that have non-severe COVID-19 and that are matched for age, sex, and health zone. The aim is to compare pre-existing immunity against malaria, both cellular and humoral between the two groups.

The COVID-19 pandemic is causing unprecedented morbidity and mortality.The safe and effective Novel coronavirus vaccine is an effective means to block the transmission of the virus by building up the immune barrier of the population.Clinical studies have shown that elderly people are at high risk of severe COVID-19 infection and have poor clinical prognosis.Considering the current situation of aging population in China, the elderly people should be given priority to vaccinate to obtain protection and reduce the risk of novel coronavirus infection.However, the current data on vaccines are mostly from young and middle-aged healthy people, while there is little research data on COVID-19 vaccination in the elderly.This study mainly studied the safety and effectiveness of COVID-19 vaccine in the elderly population and explored its potential immune mechanism.

The primary hypothesis to be tested is whether or not there is a difference in time to sustained alleviation of all targeted COVID-19 signs and symptoms through Day 28 between PF-07321332/ritonavir and placebo.

Wilson's disease is a rare genetic disorder that causes copper to build up in the body. This overload is initially localized in the liver and the brain, but can spread throughout the body and cause systemic damage if copper chelation or zinc salt therapy is not implemented quickly. Treatment should be taken daily and continued all the lifelong. Patients usually have a follow-up (clinical examination, ultrasound of the liver, blood and urine samples) every six months in the maintenance phase of the disease and more frequently in the event of destabilization of the disease which requires adaptation of the doses of treatment or when initiating treatment. Some patients also benefit from regular psychological follow-up and patients with a disabling neurological form may have physiotherapy, and speech therapy. The Covid 19 pandemic has imposed the lockdown of the entire population, including patients with Wilson's disease. The non-urgent care of these patients was therefore suspended. Medical consultations and paramedical care (physiotherapy, speech therapy, psychologist, etc.) have been postponed. Only very urgent hospitalizations in the event of imbalance of their illness with life-threatening risk were maintained. Wilson's disease patients could in this situation be particularly anxious and present disturbances of their quality of life. The psychiatric consequences could not be limited to the current period but also concern long-term patients, in particular if there is a worsening of the disease. The consequences of inactivity and the end of specific treatments (physiotherapy and speech therapy) could also be sources of aggravation. The behavioral and cognitive characteristics of the disease and the major difficulties in adherence to treatment already observed in this chronic disease, may suggest a repercussion of the pandemic in this population. The consequences of the COVID pandemic in these fragile patients with a rare disease must be assessed. It will be important to look at the consequences of the lockdown on the adherence to treatment and on the course of the disease.

Airway securing through the placement of an endotracheal tube continues to be the definitive and the global standard management. The successful first attempt is aimed to avoid the consequences of multiple intubation trials as bleeding, tissue swelling, and airway contamination from gastric content that led to considerable morbidity and mortality. Visualization of the larynx and the glottic opening is the key to first-pass success requiring long-term training and availability of specific equipment concerned to that. For confirmation of the position endotracheal tube or its displacement, various clinical and equipment aids to that which are not valid or limited in different scenarios. Video laryngoscopes (VL) have been proposed to improve laryngeal visualization, hence a higher first-pass success rate accomplished. Despite that, there are limitations of video laryngoscope use in different circumstances that requiring adding of other aids to facilitate endotracheal intubation. x

SARS-CoV-2 (Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus type 2) is a new coronavirus and identified causative agent of COVID-19 disease. They predominantly cause mild colds but can sometimes cause severe pneumonia. The long-term consequences are still largely unexplained and misunderstood, especially in children and adolescents. The aim of this study is to assess the frequency of pulmonary skeletal changes in pediatric and adolescent patients using low-field magnetic resonance imaging (LF-MRI) in the setting of proven past SARS-CoV-2 infection.

The purpose of this study is to take advantage of cohorts of patients followed for Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID19) expected to present poor physical fitness as the consequence of COVID19 to explore the relationship between physical fitness and low back pain (LBP). Level of physical fitness will be measured at baseline and incidence and intensity of LBP will be recoreded over 1 year.
