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.

The COVID-19 pandemic has triggered extremely high hospitalization rates where mitigation strategies are urgently necessary to aid vulnerable Hispanic and Latino populations who are experiencing health disparities as well as high type 2 diabetes (T2D) prevalence with poor clinical outcomes when compared to non-Hispanic populations. The supplemental Dulce Digital-COVID Aware (DD-CA) intervention addresses specific barriers in diverse underserved Hispanic and Latino communities to improve glucose control and lower transmission of COVID-19 during a highly vulnerable period post hospitalization discharge, to reduce hospital readmission rates. This supplement will integrate COVID educational messaging with glucose management messaging within a low-cost, easily adoptable digital texting platform and offer critical information in a culturally and linguistically relevant manner to address specific barriers in diverse underserved communities.

Acute Respiratory Distress syndrome (ARDS) is a pulmonary systematic inflammatory response, leading to acute respiratory failure with hypoxia and/or hypercarbia. COVID-19 evokes a viral pneumonia, which may result in ARDS as well. It is not yet clear if COVID-19 disease behaves like the typical ARDS. Corona virus causes primarily deep hypoxia. Hypoxia, on its own, can lead to long term cognitive impairment. However, critical illness also affects long-term neurocognitive functioning. The investigators will be researching the possibility of long-term cognitive impairment in COVID-19 ICU patients, in comparison with reference values of a healthy population as well as the values measured in critically ill patients, admitted not only for respiratory reasons.

The purpose of this case-control study is to assess the association of the current and former consumption of tobacco and nicotine in the risk of acquisition of severe acute respiratory syndrome 2 (SARS-CoV-2). the investigators will send a structured interview by mail regarding use of tobacco and nicotine to 2500 healthcare workers (1250 cases with a positive Real Time Polymorphism Chain Reaction (RT-PCR) and 1250 controls with a negative PCR) who were tested in Paris for in March and April, 2020. OR will be estimated by conditional logistic regression modelling with matching for sex and age.

COVID-19 is an emergency situation which broke out from China in 2020. Health commitees and goverment set some rules and limit people's freedom to leave from their houses and it is called as 'social isolation'.Staying at home and disease bring about sedentary lifestyle, anxiety and depression and changed eating habits of all person. Hypertension is an important cardiovasculary risk factor and physical activity, stress managament are very important for disease control. In that study we aimed to assess hypertensive and healthy person's anxiety level, physical activity and qualit of life level during COVID-19 social isolation.
National Center for Complementary and Integrative Health (NCCIH)
This is a randomized clinical trial (RCT) nested within the NIH PETAL Network's COVID cohort study (BLUE CORAL [Biology and Longitudinal Epidemiology: COVID Observational Study]) of patients hospitalized for COVID-19-related illness. COVID-19 patients enrolled in BLUE CORAL with elevated distress symptoms 1 month post-discharge will be randomized to either the Lift mobile app intervention or a usual care control.

SARS-CoV-2 vaccine, now being administered to skilled nursing facility (SNF) residents and staff, has highly variable acceptance between facilities. The investigators need to develop and disseminate effective strategies to increase vaccination immediately. For SNF residents and staff, the investigators will develop and implement a scalable multi-pronged intervention that educates, builds trust and supports the informed consent process aimed to increase SARS-CoV-2 vaccination. The investigators will conduct a cluster randomized trial to compare the effect of electronic messaging and education (i.e., usual care) versus a multi-pronged 'high touch' intervention to reduce vaccine hesitancy in skilled nursing facility staff and residents among a random sample of facilities across four SNF chains. As part of the 'high touch' intervention, the investigators will identify and train local opinion leaders. The investigators will offer these leaders assistance through real-time support for questions and provide consenting specialists. During the second wave of vaccination, the investigators will provide the intervention facilities with positive reinforcement for staff and will identify local champions to garner support and empowerment of staff. Finally, in the intervention facilities, the investigators will provide additional funds to support COVID-19 testing, in order that facilities have access to enough testing kits for patient or staff who develops symptoms following vaccination. This trial will be randomized within four SNF chains in order to evaluate the effect of a multi-pronged strategy to improve SARS-CoV-2 vaccine acceptance among direct care staff and long-stay nursing home residents. In four chains, eligible facilities will undergo randomization between usual care versus adding the 'high touch' intervention, implemented in two waves. Randomization and roll out of the intervention will occur at the facility level. The investigators hypothesize that: (1) the intervention will increase vaccination of SNF residents by at least 10 percentage points versus facilities usual care alone; (2) staff of SNFs with the intervention will have at least a 10 percentage point greater vaccine uptake of vaccine than staff in SNFs that do not participate in the high touch intervention; and (3) within intervention SNFs, improvements in vaccine uptake will be similar across staff and resident race/ethnicities.

The healthcare workforce is amongst the most stressed in the United Kingdom (UK). The Coronavirus (COVID-19) health pandemic has increased depression, anxiety, insomnia and distress in this population. Gratitude interventions have been shown to improve wellbeing, alongside reducing risk factors associated with the aforementioned mental health conditions. This online Randomised Control Trial of 219 healthcare staff, will investigate the effects of a gratitude intervention on wellbeing (gratitude, positive affect, happiness) and psychological distress (depression and negative affect). Means of pre- and post-outcome measures of two groups (gratitude journal and control) will be assessed for differences utilising t-tests.
