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.

In COVID-19 deep airway and alveolar destruction occurred due to inflammatory reaction resulting into severe pneumonia. In COVID-19, lung injury is not only due to viral damage to tissue, but it is also due to immune response that leads to activation of inflammatory cells and release of cytokines. In COVID-19 acute respiratory distress syndrome ARDS is produced due to mucinous or cellular fibromyxoid exudates, desquamation of pneumocytes and alveolar damage and hyaline membrane development and within 5-7 days disease become more aggressive due to pneumonia and respiratory failure. It is important to start the prompt and strengthen treatment for suppression of inflammatory response and cytokine storm. Methylprednisolone are the traditional immunosuppressive drugs. They are important and effective to delay the pneumonia progression and treating the ARDS. Corticosteroids are broadly used as treatment for ARDS and there was an evidence for its efficacy for treating SARS and decreasing mortality of SARS in the past. However for COVID-19 corticosteroids efficacy and safety usage is still under clinical trials

This study aims to investigate the potential antiviral efficacy and safety of a novel formulation of Niclosamide; a well-known antihelmintic agent, together with an established COVID-19 treatment regimen in patients. The aim of this study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy profile of niclosamide from the test product (Niclosamide 200 mg/10 mL Suspension) in patients treated for the novel coronavirus infectious disease (COVID-19) in a placebo controlled phase III trial. Both treatment groups will receive an established treatment regimen against COVID-19 together with either niclosamide or placebo. The efficacy and safety of the molecule is well-known and the properties of novel formulation is well-established. The promising in vitro results of niclosamide as an antiviral compound is well documented and make it an ideal candidate as a therapy against SARS-CoV 2 infection. A good safety profile is expected with solid antiviral activity.

This study aims to analyze the effectiveness and safety of Avigan® (favipiravir) compared to Oseltamivir as an adjuvant therapy among adult COVID-19 patients. This study will be conducted in a hospital setting, recruiting adult COVID-19 patients with mild, moderate, and severe symptoms. Subjects will be randomly given Favipiravir or Oseltamivir as an adjuvant therapy to standard COVID-19 treatment. Patients will be followed up for 21 days after the first dose of intervention given. The primary outcomes of this study are the improvement of radiology results and RT PCR negative conversion during follow up. The secondary outcomes are adverse events, hospital length of stay (LOS), and Case fatality rate (CFR)
Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujib Medical University, Dhaka, Bangladesh
The first COVID-19 case was identified on March 7, 2020. Since then, 4127 deaths of the total 3,40583 confirmed cases are reported in Bangladesh of August 26, 2020. this new virus there has been an increase in the number of pneumonia, which are characterized by fever, sore throat ,asthenia, dry cough, lymphopenia, prolonged prothrombin time, elevated lactic dehydrogenase and CRP and a tomographic imaging indicative of interstitial pneumonia (ground glass and patchy shadows). Severe disease occurs in 15% of the cases with COVID-19 and may progress to critical disease in only 5% of the cases with a high risk of mortality. Critical disease may present as acute respiratory failure secondary to Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome mainstay of treatment is supportive. Recent studies have shown the efficacy of vitamin C and Zinc administration in patients hospitalized for sepsis in the setting of intensive wards in terms of mortality reduction. The use of vitamin C arises from the experimental evidence of its anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties. Zinc is known to modulate antiviral and antibacterial immunity and regulate inflammatory response. Zn may possess protective effect as preventive and adjuvant therapy of COVID-19 through reducing inflammation, improvement of mucociliary clearance, prevention of ventilator induced lung injury, modulation of antiviral and antibacterial immunity. Severity assessment tools for identifying patients at risk of deterioration due to sepsis. The quick Sequential (Sepsis-related) Organ Failure Assessment tool is the recommended tool to screen patients with suspected infection outside the intensive care unit (one point for each of altered mentation, respiratory rate ≥22 and systolic blood pressure ≤100 mmHg, with a score ≥2 suggesting high risk for deterioration).More generic tools designed to predict deterioration regardless of etiology have also been designed, such as the National Early Warning Score , widely used in the English National Health Service, Access alertness, RR, blood pressure , heart rate, oxygen saturation and temperature with increasing values for more abnormal measurements. A score of ≥3 in any category or score ≥5 overall triggers urgent patient review.D isease specific tools, such as CURB65, are recommended by respiratory societies worldwide.Each of altered mentation, blood urea >7.0, RR ≥30, SBP
Assistance Publique - Hôpitaux de Paris
The epidemic of coronavirus induces a major influx of patients implying a rapid modification of the organizations, a work overload and a significant stress for the care teams and supports of the hospitals of the Assistance Publique - Hôpitaux de Paris (AP-HP) . To this is added the impact on each professional of the large number of very severe patients to be treated, of death and the anxiety of contamination, reinforced by the actual cases of staff themselves sick. Emergency phone numbers for professionals in the event of psychological suffering were quickly put in place at the AP-HP and Hospitals level. The objective of this study is to assess the psychopathological and psycho-traumatic consequences of this exceptional situation on the staff, during the epidemic and at a distance from it, in order to be able to target the solutions to be implemented. Hypothesis is that some personnel may develop one or more of the following disorders: adjustment disorder or other anxiety disorder, acute stress disorder, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), and depressive episodes as defined in the DSM-5. This study also aimes to assess effect of support measures put in place, by comparing the evolution of those who benefited from those who did not use them, as well as the risk factors specific. The results will make it possible to have an estimate of the percentage of people who may require specific support, and to identify the staff most at risk, and thus predict the importance of the circuits and structures for support of staff which will be necessary in the short and long term. The main anticipated risk factors are: being a nurse, having a low number of years of professional experience, and being on the front line of care for affected patients.

Study title Spanish Registry of Pregnant Women with COVID-19 Protocol number and version Number 55/20. Version V8. Sponsors This registry is a project promoted by Dr. Oscar Martínez Pérez of the Obstetrics and Gynaecology department of the Puerta de Hierro University Hospital. Principal investigator of the registry National coordinator: Dr. Óscar Martínez Pérez. Obstetrics and Gynaecology Department. Puerta de Hierro University Hospital. Majadahonda. Epidemiologist: Maria Luisa de la Cruz Conti Researchers for each site: 100 sites from 32 Spanish provinces are included (Appendix 1) Funding Neither the hospitals nor the participating investigators will receive any financial compensation for their collaboration. A bank account has been opened at the hospital's Biomedical Research Foundation to receive donations: COV20/00021 - SARS-COV-2 and the COVID-19 disease Call financed by the Carlos III Institute of Health and co-financed with ERDF funds. Abstract Rationale: Knowledge about the impact of the SARS-CoV-2 virus on pregnancy is still scarce and all current recommendations are based on less than 100 cases published in the literature. To identify moderate effects (such as vertical transmission, obstetric morbidity, foetal death, maternal or neonatal death) and to allow accurate risk estimates, larger sample sizes than those currently available are required. Methods: Prospective observational study of pregnant women in whom SARS-CoV-2 infection is suspected at any time during pregnancy with positive test results for SARS-CoV-2, in order to create a registry of baseline characteristics of the pregnant woman, aspects related to the course of pregnancy and delivery, and related to the new-born, with an observation period of up to 14 days after delivery. Subsequently, several phased studies will be conducted to help establish and monitor the set of measures to improve the care of pregnant women. Discussion: The national registry for COVID-19 in pregnancy described here is a tool for sharing and centralizing data related to exposures to SARS-CoV-2 during pregnancy in a structured way. It should speed up the process of prospectively obtaining a large unbiased data set and will collect information at national level.
Queen Mary University of London
This trial is focusing on blood pressure control for patients with high blood pressure (hypertension) during the COVID-19 pandemic when seeing a doctor for advice may be difficult. The study utilises remote consultations by telephone or video conferencing. Patients record blood pressure and data into an electronic diary on their phone which is reviewed in consultations every 2 weeks by a clinician. Medication for this trial is amlodipine as an oral solution which is uptitrated accordingly for patients receiving medication (anticipated 200). 800 patients will be in an observational group recording the same readings and will not receive any medication.
