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.

During the current COVID-19 Pandemic, all communities are relying heavily on medical personnel and first-responders to maintain high levels of psychological and occupational functioning. However, during times of persistent high levels of stress, many individuals experience depletion in psychological resources, suffering intense distress that can make daily occupational and interpersonal functioning difficult. In order to assist with this immense challenge, this research team has developed a brief daily intervention based on decades of stress and trauma research that may help to support psychological health in individuals on the frontlines who are most essential to society. Considerable evidence supports the role of attention to and conceptualization of emotional experience in psychological resilience. This project tests a highly innovative combination of interventions targeting these processes in a brief, daily activity. The primary project aim is to investigate the Daily Coping Toolkit for medical personnel and first responders to determine efficacy over time, to test relative dosing, and to explicate the underlying therapeutic processes. The toolkit consists of 3 activities, administered one time each day, taking minutes to complete and will be administered to n=1000 personnel. Data analysis will test the impact of the toolkit on momentary affective processes and on symptoms and wellbeing over 9 months. The impact of this research will be evidence to support the further use of this novel tool to assist essential front-line personnel during this ongoing crisis helping to mitigate the psychological toll and also support occupational functioning now and in the future.

This study will refine and pilot the feasibility of introducing a thermal imaging test to detect fever in 100 patients being triaged within the Emergency Department. The only additional research requirement for the patient is to have a thermal image of their face taken. Other triage tests will be routine. The aims of the feasibility study are to: - Understand the acceptability of introducing the intervention within the Emergency Department setting - Establish indicative patient recruitment numbers per week - Determine the likely proportion of patients recruited from this group who have a high temperature - Provide preliminary evidence that the technology can identify a high temperature in this diverse group of patients - Provide preliminary data for machine learning training to support classification of patients as being with or without fever The feasibility study will then inform the design and size of larger study to further develop and validate the the thermal imaging screening test to provide a 'with/ without' fever result.

In this study, the content and results of the psychiatric consultation on patients in Corona Care Ward were verified retroactively, and the effects of COVID-19 patients' emotional state and psychological support and crisis intervention were assessed on their emotional state. Patients who are admitted to the COVID-19 care unit of the Catholic University of Daegu Hospital are subject to consultation with the psychiatrist. By retrospectively reviewing the medical records of the request and the results of the subjects, We collected Socio-demographic information, medical severity (oxygen saturation, chest x-ray readings, medication being administered), clinical psychological scale (PHQ-9, GAD-7, PC-PTSD-5, AIS, P4, SF-36, SCL-90-R) This study evaluates whether there is a difference in psychological scale according to differences in socio-demographic status and medical severity, and compares psychological measures before and after referral to mental health medicine to evaluate the effectiveness of psychiatric counseling.

One case of maternal-fetal transmission of SARS Cov-2 was published (1). Ig M and Ig G were found at two hours after birth of a new born from a mother COVID-19. Another study on few newborns COVID-19 reported that the SARS-Cov-2 was not transmitted in utero but only after birth. Although there are few data on COVID-19 during pregnancy, according to our national data collections, it appears to be responsible for miscarriages and fetal deaths. There are also intrauterine growth restrictions and an increase of the rate of cesarean sections for maternal indications. Therefore, it is essential to know if there is a maternal viremia which infects the fetus because the consequences in terms of management would be completely different. In fact, the potential intrauterine infection will lead to antenatal monitoring of these patients with an antenatal diagnosis and may be a treatment. Therefore, it seems essential to explore the mode of transmission to the newborn since many newborns have COVID-19 infection The investigators will propose to all pregnant women SARS- Cov-2 positive to perform PCR SARS-Cov-2 tests and /or serology's (IgM and Ig G) on the amniotic fluid, the blood cord and the placenta.

The aim of this randomized controlled clinical trial is to assess the effectiveness of Basic Body Awareness Therapy online in patients' survivors of Covid-19, health workers and women suffering from gender based violence regarding post-traumatic stress disorder in comparison with treatment as usual. The study will be multicentric in base Hospital Igualada and University of Lleida. The participants will be survivors of Covid-19 that had been inpatient in intensive care and health workers in first line with pandemia as doctors, nurse, physiotherapist, etc. More else, a new context emerge regarding gender based violence during the lockdown time. Outcomes variables will be measured regarding post-traumatic stress disorder, anxiety, depression, pain, quality of life and sleep. Fifty-four patients will be randomly assigned to a control group that will follow treatment as usual. The intervention group that will be received the same treatment adding Basic Body Awareness Therapy. The intervention will last 3 months twice a week at online format. At first month the intervention consisted of 12 movements and 15 min for sharing reflections about experiences. During the subsequent sessions, the treatment will be in group of 8 participants using the same methodology online. If the conditions of pandemia allow, the group will be presential in the health center at last month. Data analysis will performed using ANOVA of variables intragroup with repeated measurements. The analyses of the effects between groups will be performed throught ANOVA intergroup.

The study is a prospective clinical cohort study of consecutive patients hospitalized at all hospitals of greater Copenhagen with a laboratory confirmed diagnosis of COVID-19. The investigators aim to examine if continuous ECG monitoring can be used to understand the contribution of COVID-19 infection in the acute phase to the development of cardiac arrhythmias, especially focusing on cardiovascular outcomes. In all patients included, the investigators aim to examine if continuous ECG monitoring - alone and in combination with biomarkers - can be used to detect early signs of cardiac complications and predict long-term risk of cardiovascular morbidity and mortality following COVID-19 infection.
