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.

African Americans (AA)/People of Color (POC) are disproportionately impacted by COVID-19 to an extent not observed in other racial/ethnic subgroups. People of color are uniquely affected because keeping diabetes under control - the best defense against COVID-19 - has become more difficult as the pandemic has disrupted medical care, exercise and healthy eating routines which are already well-known challenges for the African American community. Diabetes Self-Management Education and Support (DSMS/S) facilitates the knowledge, skills, and ability necessary for diabetes self-care as well as activities that assist a person in implementing and sustaining the behaviors needed to manage their condition on an ongoing basis. Now, given the implications of COVID-19 on the AA/POC diabetes community, it is imperative to enhance DSME/S with education about protection and prevention of COVID-19. To begin to solve this problem we will adapt and implement the "emPOWERed to Change" DSME/S program to provide enhanced type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) education with an additional emphasis on COVID-19 protection and prevention. This study will employ Community Based Participatory Research methods and will be conducted virtually in the community setting. The proposed hypothesis, based on the Health Belief Model (HBM) and the Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB), is: African Americans (AA)/People of Color (POC) in Los Angeles County with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) randomized to participate in the "emPOWERed to Change" program (N=48) are more likely to demonstrate sustained glycemic control, increase in knowledge and skills related behaviors, and risk factors associated with T2DM and SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19) and increased compliance with prevention, and vaccination as compared to those who are randomized to usual care (N=48) in this 12 week program. We propose a randomized control study design among 96 participants with 48 assigned to an intervention group and 48 assigned to a control group. This study will also explore the experience of the participants' appraisal of knowledge and skills acquisition for DSME/S to maintain T2DM control, reduce complications, and SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19) prevention and protection. The ultimate goal is to design prospective larger behavioral studies (SuRe first or R21) with a multi-centered intervention with other RTRN institutions to demonstrate the applicability of this approach specifically focusing on the AA/POC community.

In the current study, the investigators will revise our existing 10-session group RRT treatment manual to specifically address the challenges in building social support and enhancing both momentary and sustained reward during the COVID-19 pandemic (Preliminary Aim 1). In months 2-18, the investigators will conduct a small pilot RCT that will randomize individuals to receive either 10-sessions of RRT (n=30) or supportive therapy (n=30), both delivered as group-treatments via videoconferencing software. The specific aims of the current study are to confirm the feasibility and acceptability of RRT for EDs (Primary Aim 1), evaluate the ability of RRT to engage critical targets including reward to day-to-day life activities, reward to palatable foods, social isolation, and loneliness (Primary Aim 2), and provide preliminary estimates of efficacy in reducing ED symptoms at both post-treatment and a 3-month follow-up (Primary Aim 3). the investigators will also evaluate the impact of RRT on secondary outcome variables including depression, substance use, and quality of life (Secondary Aim 1).

Nursing homes have long faced special challenges in implementing effective infection prevention programs, including limited resources and diagnostic challenges in a frail functionally disabled long-stay population. Advancing our understanding of the transmission of SARS-CoV-2 within these facilities for vulnerable populations deserves urgent and further investigation. Environmental contamination with SARS-CoV-2 that is reported in limited studies highlights the potential importance of transmission between patients, their environment, and healthcare providers via direct and indirect contact. This study seeks to characterize the epidemiology of SARS-CoV- 2 in the NH patient room environment over time and the risk of transmission to near and far environments, with the explicit intent of developing integrated, simple COVID-19 infection prevention strategies that can be reported to and implemented throughout other nursing homes and long-term care facilities.

Access to mental health care by essential workers and the unemployed during the COVID19 pandemic has been challenging. Usual access to mental health care is limited by social distancing, and for many now unemployed due to closures of businesses, insurance is insufficient to cover the costs of mental health care. For these individuals who are at risk for suicide (isolation, unemployment, financial crisis plus past suicide attempts, significant mental health challenges), access to care is crucial and many maybe turning to online and accessible interventions, such as mental health apps and other online resources. Indeed, organizations such as the VA have already created free access mobile applications for mental health in anticipation of this need. Using Psyberguide, the investigators will identify the top ten free apps that address mental health issues and conduct a nation-wide evaluation of these apps with participants who are essential workers and unemployed with risk for suicide. Participants will first be surveyed about which strategies they have used to manage mental health issues, what apps and online tools they have used, and what usability challenges they have faced. The investigators will then ask a random sample of participant to engage in a randomized trial of these top-rated apps for 4 weeks. Apps will be rated on usability, acceptability, feasibility and effectiveness. Results from this trial will be quickly disseminated through several avenues: (1) the UWAC website and ALACRITY Centers network; (2) through CREATIV Lab's partnership with Mental Health America; (3) through the UW Center for Suicide Prevention and Recovery (CSPAR) and partnerships with other suicide focused organizations including Forefront, the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention, that American Association of Suicidology, the Rocky Mountain MIRECC, and the Defense Suicide Prevention Office and (4) through local partnership with King County and WA state contact tracers.

This study is a single-centre, interventional randomised controlled trial. Participants will be individually randomised to receive either COMPASS online CBT + "usual care" (standard LTC charity support), or usual care only. Randomisation will be stratified by recruiting charity site to ensure a balance of participants with different LTCs across the intervention and control arm. Randomisation will occur using a 1:1 allocation ratio managed by RECAP software. Participants randomised to COMPASS will receive access to the online program. It consists of 11 online modules which target challenges associated with living with LTC(s) and includes, amongst other things, psycho-education, patient examples, interactive tasks and goal setting. Participants are linked to a therapist; 'guide', who will provide 6 x 30 minute support sessions delivered fortnightly in the format preferred by the client (phone and/or in-site message). Participants allocated to the usual care control arm will receive the usual care that is available to them via their charity. All charities include a helpline which can be accessed via telephone or email. The helplines at all charities offer one-off emotional and/or informational support provided by people trained in active listening and/or counselling skills. Additional support avenues that can be accessed may include online support groups, local community support groups and informational resources.
