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 spectrum of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) ranges from asymptomatic infection to acute respiratory distress syndrome ("ARDS") and patient death. Severely affected patients may develop a cytokine storm-like clinical syndrome with high mortality. Laboratory tests in these patients show an excessive and uncontrolled immune response with consecutive multi-organ failure. In addition, there is evidence for the development of prothrombotic autoantibodies as an epiphenomenon of "Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2" (SARS-CoV-2) infection. Therapeutic plasma exchange ("TPE") is being discussed as a therapeutic alternative in patients with severe, refractory COVID-19. The idea is that plasma exchange eliminates both endogenous and exogenous inducers of an exuberant inflammatory response as well as prothrombotic factors, thus breaking the secondary vicious circle of SARS-CoV-2 infection. In general, TPE is a safe procedure with known efficacy in other severe viral diseases as well as in cytokine storm-like diseases and ARDS of other geneses. Moreover, initial data, mostly derived from case studies, demonstrate promising therapeutic efficacy of TPE in severe COVID-19 courses with previously lacking treatment options. To further evaluate the therapeutic efficacy of TPE in severe COVID-19, a prospective randomized controlled trial of TPE in severe SARS-CoV-2 infection is being conducted at our center. Patients will be randomized to a control group (standard therapy according to center standards) and a therapy/intervention group (standard therapy + TPE).

Safe and effective severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) vaccines may reduce the transmission of and achieve population immunity against the COVID-19 pandemic, which accounted for more than 3.75million deaths worldwide. With World Health Organization's (WHO) effort on ensuring equitable access to COVID-19 vaccines, vaccination rate may increase in the near future. On the other hand, vaccination hesitancy has emerged as a major hindrance on the global vaccination campaigns in certain areas due to safety concerns, social factors, and public health policies. For instance, a recent survey conducted in Hong Kong showed a low vaccine acceptance rate of 37%. Long-term safety concerns and post-vaccination events relayed by the social media maybe reasons for vaccination hesitancy. Among which, cerebrovascular accidents (CVA) after vaccination were one of the most frequently reported post-vaccination events. These reports ranged from ischemic strokes in elderly patients with multiple cardiovascular co-morbidities, to hemorrhage strokes in otherwise "young-and-fit" adults. While many of these events were investigated by the COVID-19 immunization expert committee, an important premise to address the apprehension of CVA after vaccination is the provision of evidence-based information of the impact of COVID-19 vaccines on brain health. In this prospective, longitudinal, observational study, we aim to elucidate the relationship between COVID-19 vaccines and cerebrovascular health in healthy citizens in a population-based cohort.

An outbreak of the novel coronavirus nCoV-19 (SARS-CoV-2), responsible for the coronavirus disease-19 (COVID-19), was first detected in Hubei province, Wuhan, China, on December 31, 2019. It has rapidly spread globally with approximately 157,343,044 confirmed cases and 3,278,510 deaths till 7th May, 2021 [1]. World Health Organization (WHO) declared COVID- 19 pandemic on 11th March 2020. The world is facing the second wave of Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic which is the most troublesome challenge to public health. The second wave is running and nobody knows where we are in the course of this disease. It becomes a significant challenge for the public health, science, and medical sectors [2]. According to the World Health Organization, about 80% of infections are mild or asymptomatic, 15% result in moderate to severe symptoms (requiring oxygen) and about 5% are critical infections, which require ventilation. We are learning something new every day. Our understanding of the pandemic is growing and changing daily. The world is focusing on the short term - flattening the curve, treating the sick and discovering a vaccine. But there is more to this pandemic than the short term. We know a lot about the transmission and clinical feature of COVID-19, but relatively little about what happens after someone recovers. Much is still unknown about how COVID-19 will affect people over time. There's still much to be learned from those who have recovered from COVID-19.

Background: Inequalities in COVID-19 infection, hospitalization, and death in under-studied, under-represented, and under-reported groups of people are severe. A growing number of studies have assessed the impact of individual risk factors. But few studies have assessed which factors are the greatest drivers of COVID-19 disparities from a wider perspective. Objective: To understand the long-term impacts of COVID-19 on minority women and their families to assist in developing community-based programs to help in recovery. Eligibility: Healthy people aged 18 and older who reside in North Carolina. Design: Participants will take a 45-minute online survey. The survey will cover their demographics, community, health, lifestyle, household, and environment. Participants may choose to have tests. They may visit the Clinical Research Unit. They may also have a home visit for these tests. In some cases, they may mail samples to the study team in prepaid envelopes. Participants may take an optional 15 minute survey about their reproductive history. Participants may give a blood sample. Participants may give urine samples. They will be asked to give 4 samples on 2 consecutive days. They will fill out a log with each sample they collect. Participants may give saliva samples. Participants will give toenail samples from each toe. Participants will give dust samples. They will be given 8 alcohol swabs. Two will be for testing. They will be asked to swipe a total of 3 door frames. Each door frame should be in a different room of the house. Participants will be given silicone wristbands to wear for 1 week. This is to measure their exposure to air pollutants. Participants may be contacted in the future for follow-up. They may be contacted by phone, email, or letter.
