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.

This is a Phase 2, randomized, placebo-controlled, double-blind, proof-of-concept study of intranasal foralumab in hospitalized subjects with severe COVID-19 and pulmonary inflammation. Foralumab is a fully human second generation anti-CD3 mAb with a modified Fc unit (two amino acid substitutions) composed of 2 heavy chains with an immunoglobulin (Ig) G1constant region and 2 light chains with a kappa constant region. In a separate Phase 2 randomized, controlled, pilot trial conducted to assess safety, tolerability, and efficacy in 39 patients with mild to moderate COVID-19 in Brazil, showed that intranasal foralumab may be of benefit in modulating immune reactivity and in reducing pulmonary inflammation. Importantly, intranasal administration of foralumab was well tolerated with no clinically significant changes in blood cell counts (including blood lymphocytes), no evidence of hypersensitivity, and no serious adverse events (SAEs) were reported in the study.

Coronavirus-2019 disease (COVID-19) is a highly infectious respiratory disease that causes respiratory, physical and psychological dysfunction in patients. With the increased understanding of the severity of COVID-19 and clinical evidence in accordance with the opinions of first-line clinical experts involved in the treatment of this epidemic, the investigators believe that the participation of patients with sequelae of COVID-19 in a Pulmonary Rehabilitation Program would be of utmost importance. According to recent scientific recommendations for patients with sequelae of COVID-19, respiratory rehabilitation would alleviate symptoms of dyspnea, anxiety and depression and, eventually, improve physical functions and quality of life. Therefore, it is essential to anticipate early rehabilitation after the acute phase of ARDS, in order to limit the severity of the effects of the ICU and promote rapid functional recovery. Physiotherapy will play a role in providing exercise, mobilization and rehabilitation interventions for survivors of critical illnesses associated with COVID-19, in order to enable a functional social return.

According to preexisting data, it has revealed the fundamental role that aerosols play in the transmission of the COVID-19 virus. Esophagogastroduodenoscopy (EGD), producing particle smaller than 5 microns, was regarded as 'aerosol-generating procedures' (AGPs) associated with an increased risk of transmission of respiratory pathogens to healthcare workers. The strategies aim to reduce spreading of aerosol during the procedure should be beneficial. Using an acrylic box to cover the head of a patient undergoing an endoscopy seems to reduce aerosol scatter and reduce the spread of respiratory pathogens. At present, there are no high-quality studies that provide quantitative data on the use of head box to reduce aerosol generation.

Repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) is a FDA-approved treatment for depression and Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD). The goal of the study is to learn how to optimize the treatment to improve symptoms of depression and OCD. This research project will test a new accelerated 5-day accelerated rTMS protocol for treating symptoms of depression and OCD. A second goal of this study is to identify biomarkers of depression and OCD in the brain using functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI). This approach will predict who will benefit from TMS, determine the optimal treatment target, and improve treatment outcomes. Subjects will receive a clinical assessment of symptoms and an fMRI brain scan before and after each treatment course to measure the effect of treatment on symptom severity and on fMRI measures of functional connectivity. Participants will be randomized to receive rTMS targeting either the lateral prefrontal cortex (LPFC) or the dorsomedial prefrontal cortex (DMPFC). Participants will complete a 5-day course of rTMS delivered hourly for 10 hours per day. Participants who show a partial response to treatment but not a full response will then receive a second 5-day course. Treatment non-responders will be crossed over to receive rTMS targeting the opposite brain area. The primary hypothesis is that accelerated rTMS treatment will yield rapid improvement in symptoms for patients with depression and OCD in just 5 days, and that response rates can be further improved by adding a second 5-day treatment course.

Parkinson's disease (PD) is a neurodegenerative disease that occurs with the effect of dopaminergic pathways in the substantia nigra and causes a progressive decrease in motor functions. When the literature is examined; Physiotherapy and rehabilitation programs applied in PD include conventional physiotherapy methods and neurophysiological based activity training. Classical physiotherapy programs; It includes stretching, strengthening, aerobics, posture exercises, balance and coordination training. PH treatment in recent years; Virtual reality is gradually enriched with motor imagery and robot-assisted physiotherapy applications and different exercise methods including dance, music therapy, yoga, pilates and spinal stabilization exercises. Stabilization exercises, which form the basis of spinal stabilization training, use the basic principles of motor learning. The aim of the spinal stabilization exercise program is to support the vertebral column by increasing the strength and endurance of the stabilizer muscles, to improve the spinal posture by increasing kinesthetic awareness and to improve balance control. The COVID-19 pandemic has highlighted the importance of telerehabilitation practices even more. Telerehabilitation can be defined as providing rehabilitation services remotely using information and communication technologies. In order to minimize the risk of transmission in the COVID-19 pandemic, physical activity levels of individuals have been reduced by restricting social life and the access of sick individuals to rehabilitation services is severely restricted. In addition, rehabilitation professionals are at risk in the treatment of these patients due to the serious transmission risk of COVID-19. Considering these situations, it is emphasized by many authorities that telerehabilitation practices should be expanded. Inactivity, which occurs as a result of restrictions in access to social isolation and rehabilitation services, brought about by the COVID-19 Pandemic in Parkinson's patients, adversely affects the progression of the disease. Telerehabilitation allows patients who cannot access rehabilitation due to their geographical, economic or physical disabilities to benefit from rehabilitation services. It is known that telerehabilitation applied in various neurological diseases reduces the fatigue levels of the patients, improves their functional activities and quality of life. In line with all these reasons, this study was planned to investigate the effectiveness of two different exercise programs adapted to the telerehabilitation program in Parkinson's patients during the Covid 19 pandemic.
