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 study will be a randomized controlled trial, involving patients with hyposmia/anosmia of onset immediately after an upper respiratory viral illness, assigned to three distinct study arms. Nasal irrigations will be prescribed to all three groups (BID). In addition, one arm will receive a paper hand-out about post-viral anosmia with instructions to smell common household items (current care) and act as a control group. The second group will receive an essential oil retraining kit, whereas the third group will receive the same olfactory training kit and a prescription to use budesonide with the nasal irrigations. Olfactory scores will be tested at the enrollment, 3 months and at 6 months.
National Institute of Cardiology, Warsaw, Poland
Hospitalized patients with COVID-19 will be included in the study in centers around Poland. After the hospitalization, a short questionnaire will be completed, including pre-hospitalization diagnoses, pre-hospitalization medications, clinical status on admission, the course, complication and the duration of hospitalization. The questionnaire will be available in paper form and on-line.

Quarantine is an unpleasant experience : separation from loved ones, loss of freedom, uncertainty about infection status, boredom. It may lead to negative mental health consequences and thus the emergence of anxiety and depressive symptoms. From March 17th, 2020 to May 11th 2002, the French government has implemented national containment measures due to the Covid-19 epidemic. Although there are data on the psychological impact and experience of quarantine measures in people who have been infected or suspected of being carriers of certain pathogens (e.g. Ebola), there are no data on such impact in the French population and quarantines lasting longer than 21 days. Investigators therefore propose to conduct a human and social sciences study in order to better understand the current situation

Facing the unusual situation imposed by the coronavirus disease, the aim of this study is to evaluate the risk and effects of less frequent hemodialysis on prevalent patients
Rho Federal Systems Division, Inc.
The human disease caused by SARS-CoV-2 is called COVID-19. In most cases, COVID-19 presents as a mild to moderate respiratory illness. But it can also be more severe and even lead to death. The purpose of this study is to: - Determine the prevalence of SARS-CoV-2 carrier status over time in children and parents - Determine the prevalence of antibody development over time in children and parents - Compare carrier status and antibody development for children with asthma and/or other atopic conditions (e.g. eczema) versus children without asthma and/or other atopic conditions - Investigate the presence of SARS-CoV-2 exposure in historical samples from enrolled participants
Kantonsspital Winterthur KSW
This study aims to observe the long-term health-related quality of life (HRQOL) and physical performance in individuals hospitalized due to a COVID-19 infection. Therefore, data is extracted from a study-site standard aftercare program which has been adjusted for this patient population. This comprehensive aftercare program includes education sessions and physical exercise. A second aim is to observe adherence and feasibility to the program and if indicated compare the clinical data and outcomes from patients following the program with patients denying to participate in guided exercise and education sessions. It is expected that patients hospitalized due to COVID-19 infection show a reduction in physical performance and HRQOL directly after discharge. The severity of illness is hypothesized to be associated with a reduction as well in HRQOL and physical performance after one-year post-discharge.

A number of clinical features suggest the possibility of dysautonomia in patients infected with SARS-CoV-2 (Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2). At the same time, there is now strong experimental evidence that SARS-CoV-2 can cross the blood-brain barrier, probably via the olfactory nerves, and reach the brain stem, which is located in close proximity. Damage to the brainstem nuclei could explain the suspected dysautonomic episodes, but also the severity of respiratory distress in infected patients, and the difficulty of ventilatory withdrawal encountered in resuscitation, potentially through damage to the ventilation control and regulation centers located in the brainstem. The objective of this study is to record the long term variability in heart rate, reflecting autonomic balance, of patients screened positive for SARS-CoV-2 throughout their stay in conventional care units at the Saint-Etienne University Hospital, in order to see whether there is an autonomic imbalance at screening, whether the worsening of the autonomic imbalance precedes the worsening of the clinical condition, and how quickly the expected correction of the autonomic imbalance follows or precedes that of the disease.

The COVID-19 pandemic has already overwhelmed the sanitary capacity. Additional therapeutic arsenals, albeit untested in the given context but previously proven to be efficacious in a related clinical context, that could reduce the morbidity rate are urgently needed. A decrease of Heart Rate Variability (HRV) is a validated bad prognosis marker in sepsis and acute respiratory distress syndrome. In contrast, auricular vagus nerve stimulation was proven not only to increase HRV values in healthy Humans, but also to reduce sepsis and increase survival, both significantly, in experimental models. Moreover, the heavy viral infection within the brainstem of deceased patients suggests that the neuroinvasive potential of SARS-CoV2 is likely to be partially responsible for COVID-19 acute respiratory failure and may bear relevance in tailoring future treatment modalities. Interestingly, the vagus nerve (or tenth cranial nerve) connects bidirectionally the brainstem to various internal organs including the lung and to one external organ, namely, the outer ear. Hence, the impact of auricular vagus nerve stimulation through semi-permanent needles will be studied, mostly used so far for pain alleviation, on the outcome of COVID-19 inpatients within 15 days.
University Hospital of Cologne
The investigators aim to characterise Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) in every age group. On the one hand, emphasis is put on the initial presentation, clinical course, outcome and the therapy used. On the other hand further investigations regarding viral and bacterial coinfections, and response of the immune system will be conducted. This study should serve to improve the understanding of COVID-19, to identify risk factors for a severe clinical course and to obtain further insights into pathophysiology of this new infectious disease.
