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.

Niclosamide (2000 mg QD) and Camostate (600 mg QID) are expected to be safe and well-tolerated as a combination therapy and to show clinically beneficial for COVID-19 patients.
Colgate Palmolive
Subjects (125) will be randomized to one of five mouthrinses and will be asked to give a saliva sample immediately before and after a 30-60 second mouthwash. Saliva samples will be collected from subjects at 15-minute intervals thereafter up to one hour (15, 30, 45 and 60 min). The saliva will be used for RT-PCR detection of Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome CoronaVirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) and viral infectivity assays, along with quantitative cytokine and chemokine concentration (pg/mL, Luminex). Subjects will complete a short survey on the taste and experience of using the mouthwash. Peripheral blood will be collected at the end of salivary collection. Subjects, except controls, will be provided materials and oral hygiene instruction related to daily use of oral hygiene products. In the seven-day period between study visit one and study visit two, subjects will be directed to brush with Colgate toothpaste (at least twice per day) and rinse with the Colgate mouthrinse (according to on-label procedures). Controls are asked to carry out their typical oral hygiene regimen with the products they typically use. All subjects keep a daily diary of oral hygiene performance, product usage, COVID-19 symptoms and exposures. Subjects complete study visit two one week after the baseline visit during which additional salivary (1 time point, 2 mL of saliva over 5 min, no rinse) will occur and blood samples collected. each subject will undergo a periodontal exam.
Västmanland County Council, Sweden
This research study is designed to investigate the effects of a brief psychological intervention for improving depressed mood in older individuals (65 years and older) in isolation during the Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic. The treatment is delivered by telephone and consists of four weekly individual sessions. Two therapeutic methods are used in combination during this intervention: Behavioral activation (BA) and Mental Imagery (MI). BA involves identifying and scheduling enjoyable and meaningful activities to improve mood and reduce social isolation. To enhance BA efficacy and adherence, MI is paired with BA as MI is known to activate emotion and motivation. The MI intervention in this study involves having participants imagine, in vivid sensory detail, engaging in some of the activities that are scheduled during BA. Approximately 154 individuals will participate in the study. Half of the participants will be randomised to start the intervention immediately, while the other half of the participants will be randomized to a control group receiving the intervention after 4 weeks. This procedure makes it possible to evaluate the effects of the treatment while not disadvantaging participants randomized to the control group. Participants will be asked to fill in questionnaires before, during (at the end of each intervention week), and after treatment (or waiting period for the control group). Questionnaires will also be sent 1-, 3- and 6 months after treatment to follow up on the results. A smaller group of participants (10-15) will be asked to participate in a more detailed interview about how they experienced the treatment.

A) Phase II: Early viral responses to triazavirin In hospitalised patients with mild-moderate COVID-19, in addition to standard of care therapy, treatment with triazavirin 250mg three times daily for five days, the slope of increase of the Ct values of serial nasopharyngeal swabs to 12 days after initiation of treatment will be ≥24% higher than in hospitalised patients receiving standard of care treatment only. B) Phase III: Efficacy of triazavirin to improve clinical outcomes In hospitalised patients with mild-moderate laboratory proven COVID-19, in addition to standard of care therapy, treatment with triazavirin 250mg three times daily for five days will reduce a composite outcome - death; ICU admission or mechanical ventilation; or prolonged duration of admission- by ≥29% when compared to the composite outcome in hospitalised patients receiving standard of care therapy only.

The clinical guidance for 90 percent of infected COVID-19 adult patients who do not meet eligibility for inpatient admission is to self-isolate. To support these patients, alternatives to in-person care are needed to manage an unpredictable clinical course; identify and intercept patients rapidly deteriorating at home, prevent viral spread during in-person visits; and minimize future surges in emergency departments (EDs). In addition, fingertip pulse oximeters have been proposed to improve in-home early detection of respiratory deteriorations but are untested and the operational infrastructure to support large-scale monitoring is limited. While telemedicine has been widely adopted during the pandemic as an alternative to conventional outpatient care, limited telemedicine access may be exacerbating observed disparities for Black and Latino patients. In our health system, Black and Latino patients used video-visits 15 percent less often than white patients. Text messaging and phone calls may improve healthcare access for communities of color, but the evidence for these telecommunication modalities to be effective and improve equity are limited. The University of Pennsylvania Health System (UPHS) developed and deployed COVID Watch to improve access to health care for COVID-19 patients who are self-isolating at home. COVID Watch sends twice-daily, scheduled text messages to assess patients for shortness of breath using a clinical algorithm to determine whether patients need an urgent escalation to a team of dedicated, on-call nurses within one hour. These nurses are supported by an on-call team of clinicians who can conduct urgent phone or video assessments. Patients can also trigger the algorithmic assessment independent of the scheduled messages. As of May 21, 2020, COVID Watch has managed 3,628 COVID-19 patients at home, of which 1,295 are confirmed COVID-19 positive; of these, 61 percent are Black or Latino, higher than the proportion of all UPHS COVID-19 positive patients that are Black or Latino (55 percent).

In December 2019, a cluster of pneumonia cases of unidentified cause emerged in Wuhan,was identified as the culprit of this disease currently being identified as "Coronavirus Disease 2019" (COVID-19) by World Health Organization. Coronavirus was found to not only target the patient's lungs but also multiple organs. Around 2-33% of Coronavirus Disease-19 patients developed gastrointestinal symptoms. Studies have shown that Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SAR-CoV-2) was found in patient's feces, suggesting that the virus can spread through feces. In our previous study, stool samples from 15 patients with COVID-19 were analysed. Depleted symbionts and gut dysbiosis were noted even after patients were detected negative of SARS-CoV-2. A series of microbiota were correlated inversely with the disease severity and virus load. Gut microbiota could play a role in modulating host immune response and potentially influence disease severity and outcomes. The investigators are uncertain about the impact of synbiotic on patients with COVID-19. However, a therapeutic strategy aiming at investigating the gut Imicrobiota of patients with COVID-9 who take synbiotic or not, leading to lesser progression to severe disease, less hospital stay and improved quality of life.

The non-essential and non-urgent follow-up consultations of patients living with HIV were postponed or transformed into "teleconsultation" or exchanges of e-mails between practitioners and patients during COVID-19 epidemic. This change in care can have an impact on follow-up and access to treatment for PVVIH.
