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.

Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) is a disease caused by the Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) virus. It was first isolated in Wuhan, China in December 2019 and then rapidly spread to the rest of the world posing a severe threat to global health. Many therapeutics have been investigated for the treatment of this disease with inconclusive outcomes. Protease inhibitors are one of the proposed agents, but their use is limited to their significant drug interactions and side effects. The aim of this study is to compare the efficacy and safety outcomes of Darunavir/Cobicistat versus Lopinavir /Ritonavir in the treatment of patients with COVID-19 pneumonia in Qatar.
Eli Lilly and Company
The purpose of this study is to measure how well LY3819253 and LY3832479 work against the virus that causes COVID-19. LY3819253 and LY3832479 will be given to participants with early symptoms of COVID-19. Samples will be taken from the back of the nose to determine how much virus is in the body at various times during the study. Participation could last about 12 weeks and includes one required visit to the study site, with the remainder of assessments performed in the home or by phone. Pediatric participants, with mild to moderate COVID-19 illness, will enroll in a single-arm (Arm 23), open-label addendum to evaluate the pharmacokinetics and safety of LY3853113. Enrollment began on August 19, 2022 and completed on February 21, 2023.

To date no specific treatment has been proven to be effective for Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 (SARS-Cov-2) infection. It is possible that convalescent plasma that contains antibodies to SARS-Cov-2 might be effective against the progression of infection. Promising results have been shown by preliminary data from China cases. The investigators planned to compare effectiveness of adding COVID-19 convalescent plasma to standard therapy protocol (STP) versus adding plasma donated in pre-COVID era versus STP alone in patient with COVID-19 within 5 days from the onset of respiratory distress. STP at enrolment is the best evidence based therapy approved for treatment of COVID patients by regional Health system emergency committee.

Estimation of the prevalence and contagiousness of undocumented novel coronavirus infections is critical for understanding the overall prevalence and pandemic potential of this disease. It is estimated that 86% of all infections were undocumented [95% credible interval (CI): 82-90%] before the 23 January 2020 travel restrictions. The transmission rate of undocumented infections per person was 55% the transmission rate of documented infections (95% CI: 46-62%), yet, because of their greater numbers, undocumented infections were the source of 79% of the documented cases. Ivermectin + Carrageenan, taking advantage of their virucidal effects, are aimed at reducing the contagion.

In December 2019, a group of patients with pneumonia of unknown cause was identified in Wuhan, in the Hubei province, China. Despite the need of target specific therapeutic options for COVID-19, until now there is no proof of effectiveness of any specific intervention. Some limited observational trials and also evidence from randomized trials have shown no benefit of hydroxychloroquine in inpatient context. Thus, studies evaluating interventions in an outpatient setting in non-severe patients can provide important information related to prognosis and safety. In this way, the present study will evaluate the effectiveness and safety of the use of hydroxychloroquine in COVID-19 outpatients by means of a Randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial

The COVID-19 pandemic has led to shortages of intravenous sedatives due to increased ICU patient admissions and greater use of mechanical ventilation. A shortage of sedatives is as concerning as a shortage of mechanical ventilators since critically ill patients require sedation for comfort and to tolerate mechanical ventilation. Anti-adrenergic medications are increasingly recognized for their role in sedation of critically ill patients. Propranolol is a plentiful and inexpensive, non-selective beta-adrenergic blocker with good penetration of the blood-brain barrier, which can reduce agitation and arousal. The study team published a single-centre retrospective study of 64 mechanically-ventilated patients which found the initiation of propranolol was associated with an 86% reduction in propofol dose and a roughly 50% reduction in midazolam dose while maintaining the same level of sedation. Propranolol has the potential to mitigate the threat posed by worldwide sedative shortages and improve critical care management of patients who require mechanical ventilation. This study seeks to evaluate whether the addition of propranolol to a standard sedation regimen reduces the dose of sedative needed in critically ill patients requiring mechanical ventilation. This study is an open-label randomized controlled trial, single-blinded with 1:1 allocation. Both arms will receive sedation according to usual intensive care unit practice with a sedative agent. The intervention arm will additionally receive enteral propranolol 20-60mg q6h titrated up over 24-48h until intravenous sedative doses have fallen to a minimal level (propofol

Background The immediate psychological impact of COVID-19 is already emerging. The investigators are interested in the benefits of a self-management booklet focused on the current circumstances in response to the COVID-19 pandemic on people's physical and mental wellbeing. Who can participate? The investigators are looking for participants aged 18 and over who live in the UK and can read and write in English, without any current serious mental health problems (e.g. bipolar disorder, PTSD, active thoughts of self-harm, or severe anxiety/depression), and who feel that their physical and/or mental wellbeing have been affected since the COVID-19 pandemic. What does the study involve? Eligible participants will complete questionnaires at baseline following which they will be randomly allocated to either receive the self-management booklet right away (via email) or after 4 months (waiting-list, in the meantime participants will be provided a link to educational materials). Participants will not be able to choose whether they will receive the self-management booklet right away or be in the waiting-list as a computer system (Qualtrics randomiser) will allocate them to one of the two groups at random. Participants in both conditions will be asked to complete online questionnaires at multiple time points, 2-months and 4-months after allocation. Participants in the waiting-list condition will also be asked to complete the same set of questionnaires at 6- and 8-months after allocation to assess how beneficial they found the self-management booklet. Participants will also be invited to take part in an audio-recorded interview after T2 to tell us more about how they found the self-management booklet or the educational materials. The investigators will select 30 participants (15 from each condition) for the interview out of those who opt-in to capture a wide range of experiences and backgrounds. What are the possible benefits and risks of participating? Risks to participants are small. Participants may find reflecting on the impact of COVID-19 on their lives distressing. However, these effects are anticipated to be short lived, as participants will learn psychological techniques during the intervention that can help them manage better in the current circumstances and improve their wellbeing. Where is the study run from? The lead site is King's College London. The study is run online via Qualtrics. When is the study starting and how long is it expected to run for? May 2020 to May 2021 Who is the main contact? Dr Federica Picariello federica.picariello@kcl.ac.uk
