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.

It is planned to include patients over 18 years of age of both sexes, admitted to the Intensive Care Unit of Clinical Hospital Centre Split for respiratory insufficiency caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 in need of invasive mechanical ventilation. The patients will be divided into four groups. Group 1 will receive N-acetylcysteine inhalation, Group 2 will receive inhalation with a 5% sodium chloride solution, and Group 3 will receive inhalation of 8.4% sodium bicarbonate, group 4 is a control group and will not routinely receive inhaled mucolytics preventively. All inhalations will be given twice a day 12 hours apart. The first inhalation will be included within 12 hours of the patient being enrolled in the Intensive Care Unit. Patients will be randomized according to the type of inhalation they will receive, randomization will be done by all researchers through the random.org website, and the inhalation will be given by a nurse according to the agreed protocol. RESEARCH GOALS The aim of this study is to determine whether there is a difference in the frequency and duration of ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP) and whether there is a difference in the number of days spent on mechanical ventilation and in mortality in these four groups of patients. Hypothesis Coronavirus disease 2019 patients on invasive mechanical ventilation and preventive sodium bicarbonate inhalation will have a lower incidence of ventilator-associated pneumonia and fewer days spent on invasive mechanical ventilation than patients inhaled with N-acetylcysteine, 5% saline, or patients without preventive inhalation.

European countries faced another wave of the SARS-CoV2 pandemic, which has led to a second lockdown in France in November 2020 in order to avoid overwhelming health services. To prevent or reduce another wave, the strategy calls for vaccination, maintaining barrier measures and testing and isolating infected persons in order to break the cycles of infection. The latter objective is made difficult by the existence of asymptomatic carriers or symptomatic carriers that have very few symptoms and that aren't tested. Identification of these carriers in the general population is usually based on a search for close contact persons from those who were tested positive or from identified clusters. Experiments of mass testing are being carried out or were carried out, for example in Liverpool or Slovakia but, in order for them to be effective, they must be repeated, which limits feasibility. Another strategy of wide screening in the general population to identify asymptomatic persons is to offer a systematic screening during medical consultations and particularly in the emergency departments (ED). This strategy grants access to the entire population attending health facilities, including persons with lower income. This strategy can be conducted continuously in order to: 1) contribute to controlling the epidemic by identifying and isolating asymptomatic persons and their close contacts; 2) provide an observatory on the evolution of viral circulation in the general population. To the best the knowledge, this strategy has not been evaluated and will be tested it in 18 emergency departments in the Paris Metropolitan area, one of the most SARS-CoV2 affected regions. The aim is to evaluate the benefit of a systematic offer of SARS-Cov2 screening by rapid testing (molecular multiplex PCR/ RT-LAMP) to identify infected persons, associated with the usual practice of the EDs (intervention strategy) compared to a period based on usual practice of the EDs (control strategy) The strategies will be compared during two periods following a cluster-randomized two-period crossover design. During intervention periods, nurses will suggest performing a SARS-CoV2 test to patients using a PCR multiplex for symptomatic patients and a RT-LAMP for asymptomatic patients.

After SARS-COV-2 inactivated vaccine authorization for use in different countries including Egypt, investigating its immunogenicity, safety, and efficacy in preventing COVID-19 infection is highly needed. In Egypt, immunization of HCWs in isolation hospitals by SARS-COV-2 inactivated vaccine is now a national priority. Moreover, data and reports regarding the application of vaccine are still limited and deficient.

We hypothesize that recovered COVID-19 patients suffer long term cardiovascular and pulmonary complications, which can be detected by point of care ultrasound. The goal is to comprehensively delineate the long term cardiovascular and pulmonary ultrasound findings in recovered COVID-19 patients, identify risks factors for prolonged heart/lung injury, evaluate long term effects of applied treatment, and assess late medication/vaccine side effects in COVID-19 patients.

The study is designed to evaluate the safety, reactogenicity, and immunogenicity of three groups of healthy volunteers who receive either intranasal single dose (vaccine on Day 0 and placebo on Day 28) or two-dose (vaccine on Day 0 and 28) of BBV154 vaccine or Placebo (on Day 0 and day 28). A total of 175 subjects will be enrolled in 2:2:1 ratio and will be conducted in a double-blinded manner. To assess the safety of the vaccine, each participant will record symptoms in a diary card for 7 days after each dose. Safety and laboratory tests and physical exams will also be performed. Blood samples and saliva samples be collected to assess the immune response from the vaccine. An interim report based on the safety and immunogenicity of the vaccine (BBV154) will be notified to the Central Drugs Standard Control Organization (CDSCO), India, for further progressing the clinical development of the vaccine. This unblinded interim report will contain a detailed analysis of the data based on the primary and secondary objectives of all visits through Day 42 (Immunogenicity & Safety).
