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.

Moreover, numerous variants of the virus that causes COVID-19 are being tracked in the United States and globally during this pandemic. Here, we will use combination therapy which involve agents with significant activity and different mechanisms of action against covid-19 and its inflammatory complication. Excessive activities of cysteinyl cathepsins (CysCts) contribute to the progress of many diseases. however, therapeutic inhibition has been problematic. Cathepsin L are crucial in terms of the endocytosis by cleaving the spike protein, which permits viral membrane fusion with endosomal membrane, and succeeded by the releasing of viral genome to the host cell. Thereby, inhibition of cathepsin L may be advantageous in terms of decreasing infection caused by SARS-CoV-2. It is well known that zinc (Zn) possesses a variety of direct and indirect antiviral properties, which are realized through different mechanisms. Administration of Zn supplement has a potential to enhance antiviral immunity and to restore depleted immune cell function, in particular in immunocompromised patients. It has been found that Zn 2+ deficiency leads to an exaggerated activity of Cysteine cathepsin increasing the autoimmune/inflammatory response. . Zn2+ is a natural inhibitor of proteases with CysHis dyads or CysHis(Xaa) triads. cysteine protease Cathepsin L (CatL) involvement with severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) and COVID-19 from different points of view. At this purpose Zn 2+ metal can be safely combined with phenformin a drug that increases the anti-proteolytic effect of endogenous Zn 2+ lowering the excessive activity of some CysCts.; A study found that phenformin-Zn2+ complex is identified as a modifiable pharmacophore for synthesis of therapeutic CysCt inhibitors with a wide range of potencies and specificities. Phenformin stabilizes a "Zn2+ sandwich" between the drug and protease active site. Additionally, phenformin was found to be potent inhibitor of IL-6 R, with phenformin (100 µM) treatment for 48 h, decreased IL-6R expression in ANBL6, RPMI, U266, MM1S, and JJN3 was 5.51 (p = 0.0025), 3.03 (p = 0.0005), 1.55 (p < 0.05), 2.09 (p = 0.0082) and 1.19-fold, respectively. Furthermore, phenformin was discovered to potentially and strongly bind to ACE2 receptors, according to a docking research being conducted by the principle investigators of this clinical study therefore, Phenformin is expected to potentially attach to ACE2 receptors and lead to its downregulation, an inhibitory mechanism which may combat and block COVID-19 infection in lung epithelial cells. Phenformin may induce lactic acidosis therefore according to the principal investigator The phenformin will be utilized as aerosolized by inhalation for COVID-19 treatment and this may be an effective novel treatment strategy that would limit the risk of systemic side-effects associated with biguanides due to the low inhaled dose. In addition, we will use aerosolized phenformin in combination with methylene blue. A study found that a very marked improvement in lactate and pyruvate concentrations occurred within six hours of the beginning of méthylène blue administration in human . It has been known for some time that méthylène blue is a moderately efficient hydrogen acceptor in several enzyme sys¬ tems and significantly reduce oxidative stress by scavenging ROS. Moreover, Methylene Blue has antiviral activity and was found to Inhibit the Spike-ACE2 Protein-Protein Interaction-a Mechanism that can contribute to its Antiviral Activity Against COVID-19 For many reasons, methylene blue is a promising drug for an active treatment against SARS-CoV-2 . Since methylene blue can work as a photosensitizer, photodynamic therapy as an antiviral treatment has great potential in the treatment of COVID-19.. This clinical study will investigate the effectiveness of SARS-CoV-2 infected people treatment using methylene blue and the following photodynamic therapy after that our clinically approved patients will receive phenformin and zinc . But methylene blue may lead to lowering in potassium concentration.Therefore, we will add potassium supplement to this combination.

African Americans (AA)/People of Color (POC) are disproportionately impacted by COVID-19 to an extent not observed in other racial/ethnic subgroups. People of color are uniquely affected because keeping diabetes under control - the best defense against COVID-19 - has become more difficult as the pandemic has disrupted medical care, exercise and healthy eating routines which are already well-known challenges for the African American community. Diabetes Self-Management Education and Support (DSMS/S) facilitates the knowledge, skills, and ability necessary for diabetes self-care as well as activities that assist a person in implementing and sustaining the behaviors needed to manage their condition on an ongoing basis. Now, given the implications of COVID-19 on the AA/POC diabetes community, it is imperative to enhance DSME/S with education about protection and prevention of COVID-19. To begin to solve this problem we will adapt and implement the "emPOWERed to Change" DSME/S program to provide enhanced type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) education with an additional emphasis on COVID-19 protection and prevention. This study will employ Community Based Participatory Research methods and will be conducted virtually in the community setting. The proposed hypothesis, based on the Health Belief Model (HBM) and the Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB), is: African Americans (AA)/People of Color (POC) in Los Angeles County with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) randomized to participate in the "emPOWERed to Change" program (N=48) are more likely to demonstrate sustained glycemic control, increase in knowledge and skills related behaviors, and risk factors associated with T2DM and SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19) and increased compliance with prevention, and vaccination as compared to those who are randomized to usual care (N=48) in this 12 week program. We propose a randomized control study design among 96 participants with 48 assigned to an intervention group and 48 assigned to a control group. This study will also explore the experience of the participants' appraisal of knowledge and skills acquisition for DSME/S to maintain T2DM control, reduce complications, and SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19) prevention and protection. The ultimate goal is to design prospective larger behavioral studies (SuRe first or R21) with a multi-centered intervention with other RTRN institutions to demonstrate the applicability of this approach specifically focusing on the AA/POC community.
