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.

People with chronic diseases including atherosclerotic heart disease, high blood pressure and diabetes are considered as a group with a high vulnerability. The COVID-19 pandemic ranging the world is rendering these people with chronic diseases even more vulnerable as they are subjected to a higher risk of COVID-19 related complications. General recommendations issued by the public health departments (PHD) do not take into consideration the personal situation of every citizen and therefore do not provide a personalized guidance to people with high vulnerability. The investigators hypothesis is that if participants receive adapted and personalized public health recommendations, they will be more adherent to the recommendations issued by the PHD and have better health outcomes than those who receive only general recommendations. In the current trial, the investigators propose to co-develop a web-based portal (Vigie-COVID) that provides tailored recommendations based on the situation of each participant and adapted to the COVID-19 status, the behavior risk associated to contamination, the risk of complications and the health risks related to confinement. Using a cohort of people aged 18 and over in the province of Quebec, this randomized clinical trial will use a nested a double-blind experimental design where the tailored recommendations will be compared to the general recommendations of the PHD. The expected results from this trial include: 1) Improvement in the rate of compliance with the PHD recommendations in the group receiving the tailored recommendations; 2) Improvement of the quality and the quantity of the COVID 19 epidemiological data available for population health research in the Quebec region; 3) Decrease in the load in clinics (self-diagnosis); 4) Improving the state of health of individuals. The portal will be co-constructed in collaboration between various key players (citizens, patient partners, clinicians, researchers, companies, managers, decision-makers and representatives of the PHD) and aims to allow the recommendations of the PHD to be tailored according to the specific situation of each citizen-user in order to promote preventive behavior in times of pandemic. Overall, the ultimate goal is to obtain a global epidemiological portrait in order to identify the determinants and indicators of sustainable health and their impacts. After the pandemic, this might enable the implementation of a personalized monitoring of chronic diseases.

The COVID-19 pandemic together with the strategies that are applied to control it are generating high morbidity and mortality worldwide. Its impact on health systems is worrisome, affecting all the population, even those who are not infected or at risk. The indirect impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the access to the medical care of patients on the waiting list for organ transplantation might be multifactorial, including the need to relocate health-related resources (medical personnel, supplies, critical care unit beds, etc), the risk of COVID-19 transmission among donors or patients on the waiting list, and also after transplantation. Additionally, the pandemic reduces significantly the donor pool. We consider that it is important to assess the impact that the pandemic has in particular individual populations, such as in patients requiring a liver transplant. Along with the lockdown, the rate of organ donation has dropped, and liver transplant programs across the world have reduced or suspended their activity. Unfortunately, this is invariably associated with an increase in mortality on the waiting list. Knowing the impact of the pandemic on patients who require a liver transplant will provide tools to understand and plan the health resources related to the care of these patients, not only at present but also in the following years.

The outbreak of the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic may be considered a traumatic phenomenon. In a sample of subjects suffering from different psychiatric disorders, psychopathological status and Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) symptoms over time are assessed using specific psychometric scales. In a sample of healthy controls PTSD symptoms are evaluated by Impact of Event Scale Revised (IES-R) and compared to patients' scores. We hypothesize that a significant number of psychiatric outpatients have experienced a clinical psychopathological worsening and a greater prevalence of PTSD symptoms compared to the general population. The study of the potential psychopathological changes could represent a useful contribution to deepen the understanding of psychological consequences of the pandemic.

Many people who have suffered from the effects of this disease might now be at risk of long-term impairment and disability. The extent of this impairment and disability is yet unknown, but it is clear from early research that these patients will be in need of rehabilitation in all phases of the disease - acute, post-acute and long-term. Rehabilitation is defined as "a set of interventions designed to reduce disability and optimize functioning in individuals with health conditions in interaction with their environment." Rehabilitation might very well be a key strategy to reduce the impact of COVID-19 on the health and function of people. A team work is needed to implement this programs which are essential in all phases to facilitate early discharge, but even more to support and empower patients.

The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) initially developed at the beginning of December 2019 in Whuan, Hubei province of China has spread all over the world. Beside the most common symptoms at onset of illness including fever, fatigue, dry cough, myalgia and dyspnoea, there are less common symptoms such as headache abdominal pain, diarrhoea, nausea and vomiting. The proportion of patients complaining gastrointestinal symptoms is variable between 3,4% and 17,0%. Interestingly, the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV2) RNA has been reported to be detectable in 50% of patients' stool samples and in these patients around the 50% had diarrhoea. SARS-CoV2 transmission has been reported to be through droplets. However, mounting evidence indicates that SARS-CoV2 has a tropism for the gastrointestinal tract and is excreted with faeces. Accordingly, a faecal-oral route of transmission of the virus has been recently postulated. Indeed, SARS-CoV2 binds to host ACE 2 receptors (ACE2) to entry into cells which are abundantly expressed by intestinal epithelial cells and regulate intestinal inflammation. Taken together, this evidence could provide a rational basis for the development of gastrointestinal symptoms reported by COVID19 infected patients. Primary aim: to evaluate the prevalence and prognosis of gastrointestinal symptoms in patients admitted to hospital for COVID19 disease Secondary aims 1. to evaluate long term consequences of COVID-19 on gastrointestinal symptoms 2. to evaluate long term consequences of COVID-19 on the development of post-infection irritable bowel syndrome (PI-IBS) 3. to evaluate long term consequences of COVID-19 on the development of post-infection dyspepsia 4. to assess the clinical and laboratory predictors (risk factors) of post-infection gastrointestinal symptom development

In this monocentric, prospective and descriptive trial we want to evaluate the long-term consequences for patients treated for Covid-19. Covid patients who were hospitalized for min. 5 days either in a Covid-19 department or in intensive care unit will be followed-up for 8 weeks after hospital discharge. This is done via an innovative electronic platform in the home environment (UZA@home). On the one hand the quality of life, rehabilitation and reintegration of the patient will be evaluated and on the other hand the patient will be screened for various psychosocial aspects such as anxiety, depression and post-traumatic stress syndrome.

There is no prophylaxis for people at high risk of developing COVID-19. It is one of the first clinical studies aiming to investigate the effect of Anatolian Propolis against COVID-19. This study will test whether Anatolian propolis can be used to prevent the development of COVID-19 in people at risk of COVID-19. If Anatolian Propolis has been shown to reduce the risk of developing COVID-19 in people at high risk of infection, this could help reduce the morbidity and mortality of the COVID-19 outbreak. This study will be done in 2 centers. These centers are planned as Atatürk University Medical Faculty Emergency Medicine Clinic and Rize Recep Tayyip Erdoğan University Emergency Medicine Clinic. This work will be done entirely on a voluntary basis. The research subject will be explained to the healthcare professionals (doctor, nurse, medical secretary) working in both emergency medicine clinics and voluntary participation forms will be signed by the healthcare professionals who agree to participate in the study. Health workers who agree to participate in the study will be accepted as the study group, and healthcare professionals who do not agree to participate in the study will be accepted as the control group. The study group will be asked to take 20 drops of Propolis drop form twice a day in the morning / evening and the control group will not receive any treatment and both groups will be followed. In this process, patients diagnosed with COVID-19 will be determined.The study will cover a period of 1 month and at the end of 1 month, patients diagnosed with COVID-19 in the study and control groups will be compared. Thus, the protective properties of Anatolian propolis will be determined.

The objective of this research project is to scientifically evidence a pulmonary rehabilitation program that was initiated altruistically during the confinement of those patients who had suffered from COVID-19, through an online platform. Patients are connected telematically 3 times a week from April 6, 2020 to perform the physical therapy program. Due to the clinical improvements that have been referred by patients, they began to take objective data. Our goal is to know if a telematic respiratory therapy program in post-covid 19 patient, improves the level of anxiety, dyspnea on effort, improves quality of life and oxygenation.
