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.

Hope Biosciences is conducting a research study of an investigational product called allogeneic adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cells (abbreviated as HB-adMSCs) to provide immune support against COVID-19. The study purpose is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of five IV infusions of HB-adMSCs in subjects with no signs of COVID-19.

The 2019-20 coronavirus disease, caused by COVID-19, is an ongoing pandemic. The measures in which public health officials quarantine confirmed and isolate symptomatic cases in order to reduce the spread COVID-19 is the common practice used in most countries. However, a significant question remains in regards to the asymptomatically infected individuals, which may propagate the virus and impede infection control. The other question to consider is whether these asymptomatic carriers develop an immune response or continue viral shedding. The purpose of the current study is the evaluate the immune response, i.e developing anti-SARS-CoV-2 antibodies in the asymptomatic cases, in a household study design. We plan to evaluate over 1000 patients with positive COVID-19 results and their households.

Diagnostic determination of disease and treatment responses has been limited to qualitative imaging, measurement of serum markers of disease, and sampling of tissue. In each of these instances, there is a built in error either due to sensitivity and specificity issues, clinician interpretation of results, or acceptance of the use of an indirect marker (blood test) of what is happening elsewhere in the body - at the tissue level. The Fleming Method for Tissue and Vascular Differentiation and Metabolism (FMTVDM) using same state single or sequential quantification comparisons [1] provides the first and only patented test (#9566037) - along with the associated submitted patent applications ruled to be covered under #9566037 - that quantitatively measures changes in tissue resulting from inter alia a disease process. This includes inter alia coronary artery disease (CAD), cancer and infectious/inflammatory processes including CoVid-19 pneumonia (CVP) resulting from the metabolic and regional blood flow differences (RBFDs) caused by these diseases. The purpose of this paper is to make clinicians and researchers aware of this proposed method for investigating the prevalence and severity of CVP - in addition to providing rapid determination of treatment response in each patient, directing treatment decisions; thereby reducing the loss of time, money, resources and patient lives.

The COVID-19 epidemic is causing a global health crisis. In France, it has imposed a major reorganization of the healthcare system. This emergency reorganization is unprecedented. It involved first, second and third line care. Following this reorganization and from the first days of confinement, a decrease in care activity not related to COVID-19 was observed in médical offices, in emergency services, and in secondary and tertiary care services. This decrease in activity could indicate a decrease in pathologies related to work, transportation or non-COVID-19 infections, due to a favourable effect of lockdown. Nevertheless, some health professionals report the opposite in the media and on social networks, an unusual increase in events (appendicular peritonitis treated late, increase in domestic violence, etc.), while others are surprised by a decrease in activity that is difficult to explain (leukaemia diagnoses by biologists, for example). One hypothesis is that such changes could be related to the reorganisation of the health care system or to the consequences of lockdown. The World Health Organization (WHO) recommends a systematic collection and analysis of patient safety incidents (also called "adverse events" in France). The objective is to assess the roles of the system and human factors in patient safety, in order to propose changes to the global system and local organisation. In France, there is a system for reporting serious adverse events related to care. Only 4% of the 820 serious adverse events reported in 2018 were reported by primary healthcare professionals (1). However, patient safety incidents in primary care are known to have specific mechanisms, types and mechanisms (2). We hypothesize that the COVID-19 health crisis may have induced unusual patient safety incidents through new mechanisms in a context associating reorganization of the healthcare system and population lockdown. Such a scenario requires the implementation of a massive collection of potential incidents and their systematic and well-structured analysis. Thus, the objective of our study is to describe patient safety incidents related to the reorganization of care and/or lockdown in the context of the COVID-19 health crisis (types, severity, mechanisms) reported by primary care professionals in France. 1. - HAS.

The outbreak linked to SARS-CoV-2 infection was declared a Public Health Emergency of International Concern on 30 January 2020. In all of the emergency Departments, a major reorganization was necessary, notably with the creation of a specific channel for COVID-19 suspect patients. Thus, all caregivers involved must adapt day by day to new places of exercise, new protocols,...The major influx of patients, the precautions to be taken, the specifics of the pathology and its management have profoundly changed daily practice. This exogenous hospital tension impacts all caregivers and more particularly their resilience capacities. Resilience is defined as an ability to recover from or adjust easily to misfortune or change. The Resi-CoV study aims to assess the level of resilience of caregivers of different specialties and trades in the context of covid-19.

Clinical data about psychological impact of quarantine are well studied in transient event or more prolonged situation like jail incarceration. In recent metaanalysis, psychological impact of quarantine was well documented in a specific population during first SARS epidemy. Even after the end of quarantine several patients were still with symptom of avoiding mainly agoraphobia, frequent hand washing and a carefull return to normal life COVID-19 infection is already associated with psychological symptom like anxiety, depression, sleep disorders and symptoms of acute stress However psychological impact of quarantine is on none in chronic painful inflammatory rheumatism in France. The prevalence of rheumatoid arthritis is 0.5% of the population with frequent comorbidity such as anxiety and depression. During the quarantine secondary to COVID-19 pandemic it's possible to evaluated the psychological impact of adult RA patients. The present study is an "emergency" being realize before the end of the quarantine.
