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.
Search Tips
To search this directory, simply type a drug name, condition, company name, location, or other term of your choice into the search bar and click SEARCH. For broadest results, type the terms without quotation marks; to narrow your search to an exact match, put your terms in quotation marks (e.g., “acute respiratory distress syndrome” or “ARDS”). You may opt to further streamline your search by using the Status of the study and Intervention Type options. Simply click one or more of those boxes to refine your search.

Families of patients in Intensive Care Units (ICUs) are at increased risk for developing psychological symptoms that can last for months after the patient is discharged. These symptoms can have significant impact on both the patient and family member's quality of life. The investigators have found that families of patients admitted to the Rush University Medical Center ICU during to the COVID-19 pandemic were more likely to develop clinically significant psychological symptoms than families of patients admitted prior to the COVID-19 pandemic. The investigators suspect that this finding is due in part to the hospital-wide no visitation policy that altered our standard communication practices and may have prevented families from being active participants in the patient's medical care. The goals of this project are 1) to determine the prevalence of psychological disorders among families of COVID-19 patients after ICU discharge 2) to determine the characteristics of ICU care that were associated with the development of psychological disorders among family members and 3) to pilot a program in which families with psychological disorders after ICU discharge receive therapy from mental health professionals.

A Novel School-clinic-community Online Model of Child Obesity Treatment in Singapore During COVID-19
Background: The Coronavirus 2019 (COVID-19) is an infectious disease, which was first identified in December 2019 and has then spread rapidly around the world. COVID-19 spreads mainly through respiratory droplets and causes people to experience mild to moderate respiratory illness. On 11 March 2020, the World Health Organisation (WHO) declared COVID-19 a pandemic. With the surge in cases and to contain the spread of this disease, Singapore implemented a circuit breaker to reduce movements and interactions in public and private places. People are advised to stay at home and practise social distancing. With restrictions in movements, parents and children are likely to be more sedentary in this pandemic. There is an urgent need to move face-to-face interventions to online interventions as it is important to be active in this period. Childhood obesity threatens the health of US and Singapore populations. In the US, 30% of children are overweight, 17% have obesity, and 8% have severe obesity. In Singapore, 13% of children have obesity, and approximately half of all overweight children live in Asia. In both countries the prevalence is increasing, especially amongst the lower income populations, and is associated with future cardiovascular and metabolic disease. In US, obesity is most prevalent in Black and Hispanic populations and in Singapore, obesity affects Malays and Indians disproportionately. The underlying drivers and potential solutions thus share many common factors. The current evidence shows a clear dose-response effect with increasing number of hours of treatment, with a threshold for effectiveness at > 25 hours over a 6-month period. A key gap in delivering this recommendation is meeting the intensity, and delivering comprehensive treatment that is culturally relevant, engaging to families, and integrated within the community context. The study is an online pilot randomised controlled trial among children aged 4-7 with obesity, in Singapore, to test a novel school-clinic-community online intervention, the KK Hospital (KKH) Sports Singapore program, for child obesity treatment with usual care. The primary outcome is intensity of treatment as measured by hours of exposure to intervention. The online KKH Sports Singapore program involves 4-6 weekly online sessions of physical activity and nutrition lessons for children and parents.

In COVID-19 times, there has been a large increase in number of people working from home; with limited places to go, an abrupt change to people's lives and lack of knowledge about the dangers of sedentary behaviour (SB), it is important to help workers develop and effortlessly incorporate healthy movement routines to optimize daily productivity and health. The combined lack of knowledge on literature on SB profiles of full time, home-based workers, effects of framing of SB reduction strategies, and strategy preference uncertainty makes for a novel study. This will be a 4-week intervention that looks at whether telling a full time, home-based office worker to do pre-selected strategies using different framing structures to break up their sedentary behaviour (SB) (i.e. sitting) will change their SB profiles. Investigators are looking to see whether having the choice (or not) to choose strategies in an unfamiliar health related selection (preference uncertainty) will create greater changes in SBs. As well, the researchers are incorporating behavioural economics' by altering choice structure in relation to behaviour change and program engagement. Workers' work-related SB will be measured by a device at baseline and on the last week of the intervention. Workers will be provided with an SB educational video to increase knowledge and motivation for change. Any SB changes in relation to productivity, mental wellness, behaviour intentions etc. will also be measured.
