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.

This study is aiming at investigating whether professional burnout in people involved in the mobile intensive care unit (in French: Element Mobile de Réanimation, EMR) in Mulhouse (France) can be predicted upstream by a low mindfulness level (as a protective factor) or by a dysregulation of stress pathways with a high level of perceived stress towards an emotional event (psychological index of allostatic load), i.e. an early and silent dysfunctional physiological response (measured by the electrophysiological and biological measurements of allostasis load and parasympathetic brake). It is part of a global approach aiming at identifying levers to prevent the allostatic load of occupational stress related to large-scale health crises.

The exceedingly high mortality rates of severe and critical COVID-19 warrant the identification and evaluation of novel therapies that could potentially mitigate the advanced disease manifestations. Based on preclinical data from this institution and others, the investigators hypothesize that PI3K inhibition with duvelisib could potentially quell aberrant hyperactivtation of the innate immune system, preferentially polarize macrophages, reduce pulmonary inflammation, and limit viral persistence, thereby improving patient outcomes.

COVID-19 has a big impact on individuals and society as a whole. Especially persons with (multiple) comorbidities such as stroke are affected. The impact of COVID-19 on stroke rehabilitation delivery and stroke patients' functioning is unclear.

Mental health disorders are common during pregnancy and the postnatal period, and can have serious adverse effects on the well-being of woman and child. Every tenth woman has depressive symptoms and 5% suffer major depression during pregnancy. The consequences for global mental health due to the novel coronavirus disease, COVID-19, are likely to be significant and may have long-term impact on the global burden of disease. Pregnant women may be particularly vulnerable due to partial immune suppression. Besides physical vulnerability, the women could be at increased risk of mental health problems, such as anxiety, depression, and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), due to social distancing leading to less support from the family and friends, and in some cases, partners not being allowed to be present during prenatal visits, labor and delivery. Furthermore, many pregnant women may feel insecure and worried about the effect of COVID-19 on their unborn child, if the women get infected during pregnancy. Today, young urban women are used to utilizing internet services frequently and efficiently. Therefore, providing mental health support to pregnant women via web-based support may be effective in ameliorating their anxiety/depression and reduce the risk of serious mental health disorders leading to improved maternal and perinatal outcomes.

The purpose of this study is to determine whether sleep disturbances in children aged 7 to 12 during COVID-19 containment are more prevalent in children who received routine psychiatric care before containment compared to children who don't have any psychiatric care.

Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) is currently spreading rapidly around the globe, causing a major public health issue. There is currently very few data about the impact of COVID-19 on pregnancy, and potential in utero infection. This is a prospective observational study of COVID-19 diagnosed pregnant patients. This objective is to examine the impact of COVID-19 during pregnancy on the rates of obstetric and perinatal complications.

This interventional study will investigate the effect of daily use of a mindfulness app on measures of participant anxiety, well-being, and future outlook during the Covid-19 pandemic, by comparing pre-intervention survey responses to post-intervention survey responses.

Coronavirus COVID-19 is an emerging virus also called Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). Eighty percent of patients are poor or asymptomatic. However, there are major respiratory complications for some patients, requiring intensive care hospitalization and possibly leading to death in 5% of cases. One of the hypotheses put forward is that much of the pathophysiology is due to endothelial dysfunction associated with disseminated intravascular coagulation. The covid-19 pathology could induce coagulation impairment as observed during sepsis. An increase in D-dimer levels during covid-19 disease is itself associated with excess mortality. While D-dimers are highly sensitive, they are not specific for clotting activity. They may be increased in many other circumstances, particularly in inflammation. On the other hand, the infection stimulates the release of extracellular vesicles. These vesicles, of multiple cellular origin, are an actor of vascular homeostasis, and participate in the state of hyperactivation of coagulation. They have a major role in the prothrombotic state and the development of coagulopathy associated with sepsis. The aim of our monocentric prospective study would be to study early and more specific markers of hypercoagulability and markers of routine endothelial dysfunction, as soon as the patient is hospitalized, in order to predict the risk of hospitalization in intensive care.

The COVID epidemics is responsible for a huge number of death following COVID acute respiratory failure. First instance treatment includes oxygenotherapy up to 15L/min in spontaneous ventilation. However COVID infection can ultimately lead to an acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) requiring mechanical ventilation in the intensive care unit (ICU). Guidelines on ARDS management are based on small ventilation volume (6 mL/kg), a pulmonary end expiratory pressure (PEEP) chosen to get the best pulmonary compliance, a plateau pressure lower than 30 cm of water and daily prone positioning when PaO2/FiO2 ratio is lower than 150. In ventilated ARDS patients, prone positioning has shown survival improvement. Though they applied this optimized management of ARDS patients, Chinese intensivists have recently reported mortality rate higher than 50% in ARDS COVID patients requiring intubation and mechanical ventilation. Before being intubated and admitted to ICU, COVID patients require increasing rate of oxygen delivery. From the start of the epidemics, we have observed that an oxygenotherapy rate higher than 3L/min at the initial phase of the disease was associated with a high risk of severe acute respiratory distress (30%) The investigators hypothesize that prone positioning in patients in spontaneous ventilation (not tubed) from the stage of oxygenotherapy higher than 3L/min (to get an SpO2 of 95% or higher) would prevent respiratory worsening and the need for intubation. Prone positioning is easy to apply in patients in spontaneous ventilation since they can change position by themselves.
