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.

The objective of this trial is to evaluate the effect of the consumption of a probiotic strain on the incidence and severity of COVID-19 in elderly population living in a nursing home. In addition, it will be evaluated if the probiotic strain have some effect on the immune response generated by the Covid-19 vaccine inthis population.
BRAC University
In line with BRAC's overall goals to limit the COVID19 transmission, BRAC has constructed 1,000 handwashing stations coupled with other supports i.e. in-person demonstration, hygiene meetings, and soap distribution in Bangladesh. The purpose of this study is to assess the impact of public handwashing stations (HWSs) on people's hygiene behavior and health outcomes in response to the COVID-19 situation. For this, at the household level, we will collect information on self-reported handwashing practices, income, health status, and HWSs along with other relevant socio-demographic variables in detail. In addition, we will observe people's mobility, mask usage at public places, and the HWSs usage; and will associate the observed HWSs usage with their self-reported health outcomes. This study will conduct surveys on households (7,760) and public (5,820) in 20 sub-districts of Mymensingh, Khulna, and Dhaka divisions. Overall, this study is expected to directly benefit study participants and their communities by unveiling new evidence to inform BRAC's existing hygiene behavioral change programming in these communities. In addition, this information will yield future societal benefits by generating evidence on how to effectively implement and disseminate infrastructure and information that people can trust, believe, and use to form healthy hygiene habits.
Germans Trias i Pujol Hospital
A double-blind, placebo-controlled, randomized clinical trial to assess efficacy of micronutrient dietary supplementation in reducing hospital admissions for COVID-19. We want to assess the need for hospital admission for severe acute respiratory syndrome Corona Virus-2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection in outpatients diagnosed of COVID-19 disease, taking a micronutrient supplementation for 14 days. The outcome Will be measured within 1 month after beginning the study treatment. The patients will be followed-up for a period of 180 days.

In neurocritical care, besides the standard intensive care monitoring, even more data are obtained from the very complex pathophysiological changes in brain disease. Medical staff for decision-making cannot integrate the huge amount of clinical data generated every second and visualized on different monitors, anymore. Lack of data integration and usability is a major reason that only few of the knowledge physicians use in this field is evidence based. Early warning systems, powered by predictive algorithms that detect critical states before they happen would allow the staff to intervene early and mitigate or even prevent such a critical state.

What are the experiences of staff and participants in phase 3 cardiac rehabilitation during the Covid-19 pandemic, and what impacts have adapted delivery had on participants' physical activity levels, mental health and well-being? Cardiac rehabilitation (CR) is a vital service for individuals diagnosed and treated for cardiovascular disease (e.g., heart attack, angina, valve disease). The service helps to improve recovery rates through supporting patients with beneficial lifestyle changes (e.g., physical activity, healthy eating), and coping with emotional distress following a traumatic cardiac event. The environment in which CR is being delivered has changed in response to the Covid-19 pandemic, including remote working practices, and in some instances postponing of rehabilitation. Despite the public health rationale for such measures, it is essential to consider the impact of adapted services on patient's mental health and physical activity participation, and to consider staff experiences in using remote working regimes. The current study aims to recruit staff and patients from phase 3 cardiac rehabilitation across Hampshire Hospitals Foundation Trust to explore their experiences of adapted services through a mixed methods study design. Staff and patients will be interviewed over the phone to explore experiences and impacts of Covid-19 with their rich in-depth viewpoints and stories. In addition, during an 8 week period of rehabilitation, patients will be asked to report and record their physical activity levels with diaries and accelerometers (a wrist worn device measuring movement), record their resting blood pressure and heart rate, and complete questionnaires to assess changes in mental health. This study could help to understand the impact of the pandemic on cardiac patients recovery and on staff's experiences implementing programme changes to assist in preparing for the future of CR post COVID 19.
University Hospital, Grenoble
Phase 1: 25 patients with a PCR-based diagnosis of Covid-19 will be be included to give 500 microliters of saliva and a 3 ml sample of blood for proteomic analysis; a drop of blood will also be put in a device connected to a silica matrix to perform spectrometric analyses. 25 patients with a non-Covid-19 respiratory infection will be included for the same samples. The proteomic analyses will be performed from classicaly draught blood, blood drop on silica, and saliva, to search for discriminating profiles between Covid-19 and non-Covid-19. Phase 2: 150 patients with a suspected Covid-19 will be included at the same time than the Covid-19PCR is performed ; they will have a sample of saliva and of a drop of blood for proteomic analysis, whose results will be matched with PCR results.

We will conduct a double arm, randomized, double-blinded placebo controlled trial of oxaloacetate for treatment of fatigue in women with a history of COVID-19 infection, resolution of the infection, and remaining fatigue that interfere with everyday activities, based on use of a standardized questionnaire to screen for impairment. Participants will receive a 6-week supply of the active or placebo and will be asked to take one capsule twice a day with water and food. They will be contacted weekly for two weeks by the study coordinator to assess for any side effects or difficulty taking the medication. They will be asked to again to complete the standardized questionnaire to screen for impairment after 2 weeks, and again at the end of the study at 6 weeks. Finally, any adverse reactions and symptoms will be evaluated once again four weeks later to ensure that any symptoms that may have been present during treatment have resolved.
