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.

Context: On March 11, the World Health Organization (WHO) announced the current corona virus disease 2019 (COVID-19) outbreak as a pandemic. The first laboratory-confirmed case of COVID-19 in Austria was announced on February 27, 2020. Since then, the incidence of infection follows a gradual increase. Measurements taken by the Austrian government include travel restrictions, closing of national borders, social distancing, a mandatory use of facemasks in public, and closing of stores and restaurants. The underlying aim of those imposed restrictions is to contain the viral transmission and to slow spreading of the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). Objectives: The aims of this study are to determine i) how many employees in Austrian trauma hospitals and rehabilitation facilities have virus specific IgG and IgM antibodies against SARS-CoV-2, ii) how many are active virus carriers (symptomatic and asymptomatic), iii) how many employees are in their incubation period during the study period, and iv) to calculate the SARS-CoV-2 prevalence together with a specific occupation associated infection risk within the different specifications of health care workers. Study Design: Open uncontrolled observational cross-sectional study. Setting/Participants: A total of 4000 employees in 11 Austrian trauma hospitals and rehabilitation facilities of the Austrian Social Insurance for Occupational Risks (AUVA) will be invited to participate in the study. Study Interventions and Measures: An antibody test for SARS-CoV-2 specific IgG and IgM antibodies, and a RT-PCR test based on oropharyngeal swab samples, as well as laboratory-based antibody tests using ELISA, will be implemented to ensure protection and preservation of health in hospital staff and are not part of the study. The tests will be conducted twice, with approximately two weeks in between testing. The results of the tests will be used for statistical analysis in this study together with a questionnaire including questions related to personal health, traveling activities, living situation, as well as inquiries of symptoms and comorbidities.

A novel human coronavirus, named SevereAcute Respiratory Syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), emerged in China, in late 2019, and is now spreading quickly causing a pandemic. It is usually responsible for a mild infectious syndrome, but patients can also develop pneumonia, acute respiratory failure and other serious complications. To date, very little and controversial literature is available on the impact of SARS-CoV-2 infection on pregnancy, and the potential risk of vertical transmission. Therefore, the first part of the study, will evaluate the proportion of pregnant woman infected by SARS-CoV-2 during pregnancy over the next six months by performing SARS-CoV-2 serology during pregnancy and at delivery . This information will be correlated to pregnancy and neonatal outcome. The second part of the study 2 will collect sera from several mandatory screening that are kept for one year. Those will be used for assessing the time of the seroconversion and variations of susceptibility to infection with gestational age as well as the impact of social distancing measures. Concerning neonates born to mothers with documented SARS-CoV-2 infection during pregnancy, only few cases of congenital infections were recently reported because of pneumonia related to SARS-CoV-2 infection and/or positive IgM at birth. It remains unclear whether neonatal infection can follow transplacental transmission of SARS-CoV-2 during pregnancy and/or through early per- and postnatal exposure, including breast-feeding. In order to investigate these hypotheses, the third part of the study will perform, SARS-CoV-2 PCR tests in a variety of samples collected from infected-mother (symptomatic during the pregnancy and PCR confirmed) and child pairs, at delivery and in the postpartum period.

A new coronavirus (COVID-19) highlighted at the end of 2019 in China is spreading across all continents. Most often at the origin of a mild infectious syndrome, associating benign symptoms (such as fever, cough, and headache) to different degrees, COVID-19 can cause serious pulmonary pathologies and sometimes death. Data on the consequences during pregnancy are limited. The first Chinese data published seem to show that the symptoms in pregnant women are the same as those of the general population. There are no cases of intrauterine maternal-fetal transmission, but cases of newborns infected early suggest that there could be vertical intrauterine, perpartum or neonatal transmission. Prematurity and cases of respiratory distress in newborns of infected mothers have been described. Subsequently, an in-depth analysis of cases in pregnant women and pregnancy issues are necessary in order to improve knowledge on the subject.

The effects of severe acute respiratory syndrome SARS-Cov-2 (Covid-19) on the myocardium and their role in the clinical course of infected patients are still unknown. Epidemiological studies report biological myocardial involvement in 10 to 25% of cases. The objective of this study is to cardiac phenotype using comprehensive cardiac imaging tools of patients infected with Covid 19 in order to explore the functional impact of the infection on the myocardium.

Following the announcement of the containment of the population due to the COVID-19 epidemic on March 17, 2020 in France, a notable decrease in the number of consultations in general practice was reported. Patients no longer contact their general practitioner, including those with regular follow-up for one or more chronic conditions. This observation raised worries since it could lead to delay or failure in detecting decompensations / complications of these chronic conditions by a lack of recourse to care. Thus, an urgent message from the National Health Department (Direction Générale de la Santé - DGS) was adressed on April 8, 2020 to the health professionals regarding the organization of care aside from COVID-19. The main recommendation was "that the personal physician or the corresponding specialist should contact the most fragile patients with chronic condition to ensure follow-up and detect any risk of decompensation ". Such fragile patients are in great numbers, up to more than 200 for an average general practitioner. Therefore, although this recommendation is regarded as "essential in view of the health needs of the population", it will prove quite difficult to follow without the help of a skilled external assistance that can be quickly mobilized.
