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.

VIDO has developed a vaccine called COVAC-2. The study vaccine contains a portion of the SARS-CoV-2 spike protein, called S1. The spike protein is the part of the virus that is responsible for attaching to the surface of host cells. COVAC-2 contains a SWE adjuvant. An adjuvant is a compound that is added to a vaccine to help the vaccine produce a better immune response. The SWE adjuvant belongs to a family of oil-based adjuvants that have been given to millions of people around the world as part of influenza vaccines. The COVAC-2 vaccine is expected to stimulate the body to make antibodies against the S1 protein. The antibodies will recognize the viral spike protein if the body is exposed to the virus and prevent or reduce the severity of COVID-19 illness. In animal studies, the immune response generated by the COVAC-2 vaccine was able to protect the vaccinated animals against a severe SARS-CoV-2 infection. Phase 1 is a multi-centred trial of the COVAC-2 vaccine to be completed in Canada. It will be a randomized, observer-blinded, and placebo-controlled study to assess the safety and immunogenicity of three dosing levels (25, 50, and 100 µg protein) administered twice (4 weeks apart) in healthy adults 18 through 54 years of age (Phase 1a) and 55 years of age and older (Phase 1b). Enrolment and vaccination of participants will be staggered over time based on participant age and vaccine dose. Approval will be sought from the Data Safety Monitoring Board (DSMB) to proceed with the second dose in each group, to enroll at each dose level, and to enroll in the older age group for each dose level. Within the same age group, the 8 participants receiving the lowest dose are randomized with 4 participants receiving placebo; the 8 participants receiving the medium dose are randomized with 4 participants receiving placebo; and the 8 participants receiving the highest dose are randomized with 4 participants receiving placebo. Within each dose level of 12 participants, it is proposed to immunize a first cohort of 3 participants (including at least 2 active vaccine participants) and pending no holding rule is met after 48 hours, to immunize the remaining 9 participants within that dose level.

A fixed cohort of adults in rural Kimpese will be followed up every two months since they are assumed to be at above average risk of contracting COVID-19. Every two months these individuals will be interviewed with a focus on COVID-19 related symptoms and possible exposure to the disease and have their temperature recorded. A social mixing survey will also be carried out to assess human contact behaviour. The data generated will help inform mathematical modelling that can predict which proportion of the population per age group is likely to get infected once COVID-19 is introduced in this rural population, and the epidemic size if no intervention, as well as when targeted interventions are introduced. During the outbreak, physical distancing measures could be implemented. The monitoring of social contacts, again using a social-mixing survey, will contribute to the understanding of the impact of such measures in a rural context on transmission of SARS-CoV-2. The results from the seroprevalence over time, will be used to refine and validate the predictions from the modelling results, (re)calibrate the model where needed, and test hypotheses on transmission-dynamics of COVID-19. In case of an established epidemic of Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) in the Health Zone of Kimpese, the sero-surveillance will be extended from an assumed high risk cohort to a representative sample of the overall population. Moreover, support to the COVID-19 control measures will be provided by the study team. The national guidelines recommend household transmission investigation for the first 100 confirmed laboratory cases. During the household visit, information on symptoms and one serum sample will be requested of all household members of the index case. If household members are present with symptoms and fever, the COVID-19 outbreak team of Kimpese will provide diagnostic testing and medical care.

The Center Disease Control has published a set of guidelines to contain the spread of the virus, since it is known to spread from person-to-person. Given the vaccine and specific antiviral treatment for Coronavirus disease (COVID-19) remain under development and will take months or years to develop, intermittent and sustained preventive behaviors may be needed into 2022 unless effective treatments or vaccines are developed. Thus, effectively implementing preventive behaviors remains a critical step in bringing the pandemic under long-term control. Leveraging the ecological momentary assessment (EMA) method developed in the parent R01 for smartphones, which allows for real-time data collection on individual's behaviors, the investigators propose a prospective single arm and longitudinal study to examine the effectiveness of self-monitoring EMA (SM-EMA) in promoting adherence to COVID-19 preventative behaviors. SM-EMA users will download the smartphone app which includes: (1) instructional videos to provide knowledge of preventative behaviors; (2) self-monitoring of preventative behaviors during intervention and follow-up phases; (3) tailored-feedback messages to encourage preventative behaviors; and (4) mobile-enabled website to provide an interactive learning platform. If proven efficacious, this intervention could be efficiently disseminated to reach the larger public and foster preventive behaviors into self-management as effective strategies for long-term control of the COVID-19 pandemic.

The world is facing an extremely important global epidemic. Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) epidemic, which first appeared in Wuhan, China in late 2019 and rapidly affected all countries of the world, was declared as a pandemic by the World Health Organization (WHO) on March 11, 2020. Coronavirus disease 2019 affects both the upper (i.e. sinuses, nose and throat) and lower (i.e. trachea and lungs) airways, causes respiratory tract diseases ranging from asymptomatic or cold to more severe lung diseases (Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome-ARDS). COVID-19 has many symptoms (i.e. fever, loss of appetite). In cases where the disease has a more severe course, in addition to the symptoms mentioned above, complications such as a severe pneumonia, acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) kidney failure and fatal heart damage may develop. Dyspnea is one of the most prominent symptoms for COVID-19. Since COVID-19 affects the respiratory system, pulmonary rehabilitation has an important place in the treatment of patients. Dyspnea is one of the most prominent symptoms for COVID-19. Our clinical observations are of the opinion that dyspnea is observed even in patients with mild COVID-19 pneumonia. Applying deep breathing exercise with triflo in COVID-19 patients, can contribute to relieving dyspnea, reducing / eliminating anxiety, and increasing quality of life. In the light of this information, the aim of this study is to determine the effect of deep breathing exercise with triflo on dyspnea, anxiety and quality of life in patients with dyspnea who are hospitalized for COVID-19. Research Hypotheses H1: Patients with COVID-19 pneumonia who undergo deep breathing exercise with triflo will have a lower dyspnea level than the patient group in which this exercise is not applied. H2: Patients with COVID-19 pneumonia who underwent deep breathing exercise with triflo will have a lower anxiety level than the patient group in whom this exercise was not applied. H3: Patients with COVID-19 pneumonia who underwent deep breathing exercise with triflo will have a higher quality of life than the patient group in whom this exercise was not applied.
