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.

Mindfulness education will be provided via a virtual platform to see if staff stress can be decreased during this time of pandemic.
University of Nottingham
We have developed an online learning resource designed to support healthcare staff during and after the COVID-19 pandemic. This resource has been produced in anticipation of the psychological effect of working during this time. This is an open access, free, online resource available here: https://www.nottingham.ac.uk/toolkits/play_22794 It is designed to be relevant for healthcare staff, and we are evaluating it now with healthcare students as our next generation of healthcare staff. We are interested in knowing more about your views of healthcare students towards this package. This will help us to determine its value as a learning resource to support psychological wellbeing in healthcare students, alongside other welfare supports. The aim is to describe the views of healthcare students towards an e-learning package developed in response to COVID-19 on Psychological Wellbeing for Healthcare Workers.

The emergence and rapid spread of the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) since December 2019 across 188 countries globally has become a major public health crisis. COVID-19 was declared a pandemic by the World Health Organisation (WHO) on the 11th March 2020. To date, more than 14,000,000 cases and 600,000 deaths have been reported. COVID-19 is an acute respiratory disease caused by the novel SARS-CoV-2 virus from the Betacoronavirus genus, just like SARS-CoV and MERS-CoV. SARS-CoV-2 is primarily transmitted person-to-person through respiratory droplets or close contact. Fomite transmission has also been implicated as a transmission route. Common respiratory symptoms such as fever, sore throat, cough and shortness of breath, may appear 2 - 14 days after exposure. About 20% of infected cases progress to severe disease resulting in an estimated 2 - 5% mortality reported. With the unrelenting increase in cases being reported worldwide, there is thus an urgent need for therapeutics to be developed and used to disrupt the ongoing pandemic. To date, there is no specific proven antiviral treatment for COVID-19. Supportive care is recommended for symptom relief and for severe cases, organ support is critical for optimal outcome. Numerous vaccine candidates against SARS-CoV-2 are under development and a couple have entered Phase 1 clinical trials. Remdesivir, a nucleotide analog, developed by Gilead Sciences as a treatment for Ebola virus disease is currently being repurposed and undergoing multiple clinical trials to evaluate safety and efficacy in COVID-19 patients. In a preliminary study, convalescent plasma containing neutralizing antibodies against SARS-CoV-2 has also been experimentally administered in critically ill COVID-19 patients with promising results. Donor plasma used was rich in virus specific IgG and IgM antibodies as determined by ELISA. Within days of convalescent plasma treatment, patients showed decrease in viral load (via qRT-PCR), as well as improved clinical status being observed. Tychan's TY027 will be the first biologics in the world, specifically targeting SARS-CoV-2, to enter human clinical trials. It is anticipated that a SARS-COV-2 specific monoclonal antibody therapeutic administered to acutely infected patients could reduce disease severity as well as prevent transmission by reducing viral load and viral shedding. It could also be used as prophylaxis against COVID-19 amongst high risk contacts.

This is a prospective monocentric observational study with the aim of investigating the demographic and clinical factors related to the smell and taste disorders in patients with Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome - Coronavirus - 2 (Sars-Cov-2) infection.
Montefiore Medical Center
The central hypothesis motivating this study is that remote patient monitoring (RPM) of infectious disease patients can efficiently facilitate self-isolation. Additionally, RPM can assist in more rapid identification of patients at risk, facilitate detection of patient deterioration, and enable early interventions, all of which play a vital role in resource utilization and outcomes.

Currently, no effective treatments are available for the COVID-19. Scientists and Researchers are working on many aspects of treatment options for the development of vaccination and medication to combat this life-threatening problem. Convalescent plasma from recovered COVID-19 patients contains antibodies against COVID-19 which may be beneficial to severely sick COVID-19 patients. Investigator have recently concluded a pilot phase II open-label RCT on the efficacy of convalescent plasma in severe COVID 19 patients in which encouraging results were seen. Investigator plan to further study the efficacy and safety of convalescent plasma in COVID-19 severely sick patients through an RCT. Investigator will collect up to 500 ml Convalescent Plasma from the COVID-19 recovered persons after 14 days of clinical recovery with two consecutive SARS CoV-2 negative tests by PCR at least 24 hours apart. This plasma will be tested and frozen and stored. On requisition it will be thawed and sent to the treating center. Two doses of 250 ml convalescent plasma each will be transfused on two consecutive days to patients who fit the eligibility criteria (Severely sick COVID-19 patients) and are randomized to the convalescent plasma group along with the standard of care and the other group will receive standard of care alone. Data will be collected to study the benefits and adverse events related to convalescent plasma transfusion.

To date no specific treatment has been proven to be effective for Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 (SARS-Cov-2) infection. It is possible that convalescent plasma that contains antibodies to SARS-Cov-2 might be effective against the progression of infection. Promising results have been shown by preliminary data from China cases. The investigators planned to compare effectiveness of adding COVID-19 convalescent plasma to standard therapy protocol (STP) versus adding plasma donated in pre-COVID era versus STP alone in patient with COVID-19 within 5 days from the onset of respiratory distress. STP at enrolment is the best evidence based therapy approved for treatment of COVID patients by regional Health system emergency committee.
