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 ongoing coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) which started in China, was declared on the 11th of March as a global pandemic 2020 by the World Health Organization (WHO). Governments around the world have introduced differing forms of lock downs since the start of the pandemic demanding citizens to confine to their homes and go out only in necessity to minimize exposure to the virus. The response was observed in the emergency departments and the number of patients who presented for non-Covid issues drastically reduced. Hospitals activated their mass casualty management plans and have reorganized and overstretched their capacity to be able to absorb both the influx of patients with the virus and those with other conditions. Part of that reorganization was reducing the surgical activity. The main focus was shifted to patients who are considered urgent and elective surgery were postponed. Hence only surgical emergencies were maintained. Many did not present to the emergency department for fear to contract the virus and from a sense of national and global solidarity against that pandemic. Whereas these measures are essential to prevent the spread of the virus, it may be hypothesized that for non-Covid issues, including surgical emergencies, patients may present late to the emergency department due to fear of contracting the infection in hospital. This would delay their management and lead to a worsened symptomology on presentation requiring a more complex surgical intervention with an increased complication profile. The investigators present initial data from four major hospitals in Belgium, characterizing surgical emergencies that were managed since the start of the pandemic and discuss the repercussion the pandemic has on management of urgent surgical patients and most likely evolution of surgery after the pandemic.

This study is a 4-arm, multicenter, randomized, partly double- blind, controlled trial to evaluate the safety and efficacy of convalescent serum (CP) or camostat mesylate with control or placebo in adult patients diagnosed with SARS-CoV-2 and high risk for moderate/severe COVID-19. The working hypothesis to be tested in the RES-Q-HR study is that the early use of convalescent plasma (CP) or camostat mesylate (Foipan®) reduces the likelihood of disease progression to modified WHO stages 4b-8 in SARS-CoV-2 positive adult patients at high risk of moderate or severe COVID-19 progression. The primary endpoint of the study is the cumulative number of individuals who progressed to or beyond category 4b on the modified WHO (World Health Organization) COVID-19 ordinal scale within 28 days after randomization.

Background: Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19), caused by Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), emerged as a potentially life-threatening disease in Wuhan, China, at the end of 2019. Since then, it has spread to almost 200 countries and infection rates are rapidly accelerating. Overactivation of T cells resulting in immune dysfunction, dysfunction of the renin angiotensin system, and antibody-dependent enhancement are thought to contribute to the cytokine storm that results in acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), culminating in death. In addition to causing respiratory symptoms, SARS-CoV-2 can cause diarrhea and has been isolated from the stool. SARS-CoV-2 binds to Angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE2) on lung alveolar type 2 cells, but ACE2 is also expressed in the absorptive enterocytes from the ileum and colon. The diarrhea may be caused by increased intestinal permeability due to binding of these receptors by the SARS-CoV-2. Thus, an intervention to attenuate this cytokine storm may improve clinical outcomes in people with COVID-19. One such intervention is oral administration of serum bovine immunoglobulins, which decreases interleukin-6 (IL-6) levels safely with minimal side effects. Animal and human clinical studies have shown dietary supplementation with oral immunoglobulins improves mucosal immunity, specifically respiratory/pulmonary and GI mucosa, and decreases systemic inflammation, reducing the symptoms and severity of pulmonary inflammation and viral infections. Hypothesis: Dietary supplementation with EnteraGam® will decrease IL-6 levels and prevent disease progression in SARS-CoV-2 infected individuals. Objectives: To evaluate the effectiveness of the oral nutritional therapy EnteraGam® (serum-derived bovine immunoglobulin/protein isolate) to prevent disease progression of COVID-19 and to decrease IL-6 levels as compared to standard of care in subjects with COVID-19. Methods: Randomized open-label clinical study evaluating the effectiveness of EnteraGam® 10.0 g BID (every 12 hours) added to standard of care, as compared to standard of care alone, in subjects with COVID-19.

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.
European University of Madrid
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.
Dokuz Eylul University
The study will be conducted in Dokuz Eylül University Hospital, COVID-19 (Coronavirus Disease 2019) intensive care unit. Three primary conditions will be sought for participants: 1. Cases whose treatment process resulted in death will be included in the study. 2. The cases must be confirmed with the diagnosis of COVID-19 by the RT-PCR (real time polymerase chain reaction) test. 3. The first-degree relatives must consent for the participation of the subjects in the study by their first-degree relatives. In the study, samples will be taken from the liver, kidney, lung, and heart. The samples will be stored in a protective solution and sent to the pathology unit. The examinations will determine the microscopic damage to these organs caused by COVID-19. Also, the presence of the SARS-CoV-2 (Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2) will be investigated by RT-PCR in tissues. The presence of ACE-2 (angiotensin converting enzyme 2) receptor and SARS-CoV-2 nucleoprotein antibody will be investigated by histochemical examination in tissues.
