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.

The rationale of the use of tramadol for COVID-19 patients is attributed to its anti-inflammatory, hypocagulatory, antioxidant, cardio-protective, analgesic, antitussive, bactericidal and antidepressant effect.

As a result of the pandemic, hygiene and distancing rules must be followed in Health care/ rehabilitation clinics to ensure the safety of patients and staff. This has led to extensive changes in the therapy processes, including a reduction in group sizes and maintaining distances within the groups, resulting in a reduction in the range of therapies available to individuals, since the number of employees remains unchanged and cannot be increased at will and in the short term due to the lack of qualified staff. In order for the treatment/rehabilitation goals to be achieved nonetheless, new forms of implementation of therapy programs must be developed in addition to organizational adjustments. Digitalization can be a significant support in this respect. The majority of patients in psychosomatic rehabilitation possess smartphones, meaning that the necessary infrastructure for the utilization of digital offers is available and can be used to the greatest possible extent. The use of digital measures within the therapeutic services supports the independence of the patients, as they can use the digital offers independently and flexibly in their own time. How should Health care/rehabilitation services be designed in light of the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic and which services have the potential to buffer future crises: What general recommendations can be derived for the design of such services for routine care? What are support measures to encourage social participation and return to work?

Coronavirus infection is responsible for muscle wasting (sarcopenia), especially during prolonged stays in intensive care. Sarcopenia, in its functional aspect also seems major in patients hospitalized for this infection, in non-ICU unit. Weight loss also appears to be significant, despite a prevalence of overweight and obesity in severe forms. Undernutrition in the obese patient is also possible (undernourished obese and sarcopenia obesity). Anosmia and dysgeusia participate in undernutrition by reducing energy intake. The rehabilitation of these patients requires nutritional support (increased protein intake) associated with progressive retraining to physical activity. An early and proactive management procedure within Coronavirus disease-19 units has been implemented in conjunction with the Transversal Nutrition Unit (TNU). This nutritional care must be continued after discharge. Follow-up by teleconsultation or telephone consultation is put in place after the patient's discharge Primary Objective: Evaluation of nutritional status at the time of admission and discharge and home follow-up in outgoing patients from Coronavirus disease-19 Units Secondary objectives: Description of the evolution of food intake, diversity of food and coverage of needs Evaluation of the muscular strength of the wrist (by grip test in hospital) and on the arms and legs after return home (visual analog scale) Evolution of anosmia and dysgeusia (at the time of hospital admission, at the time of hospital discharge and at home) Level of physical training before infection (IPAQ) Description of the general state of health measured by the performance index - world health organization scale Description of nutritional prescriptions Description of the prevention measures and incidence of Inappropriate Refeeding Syndrome (IRS) Care needs assessments

The study cohort will be enrolled among all Humanitas group employees (including ICH, Humanitas University and Gavazzeni), and two validation cohorts. Participants will be asked consent for the research use of blood, pharyngeal swab, and for those hospitalized for COVID-19, also for the bronchoalveolar lavage and fecal samples. Biological samples will be used to perform cellular, microbial and molecular analyses aimed at better understanding the disease pathogenesis and the individual differences in susceptibility to the disease.

The occurrence of cardiovascular complications in SARS-CoV-2 infections appears to be more frequent than in other viral respiratory infections, probably due to a singular pathophysiology of this coronavirus. The lack of characterization of cardiovascular damages linked to Covid-19 could have medium and long-term consequences on the prognosis of patients. This problematic could lead to a second major public health problem linked to Covid-19 and it is therefore crucial to keep monitoring and screening patients at risk. In this context of emerging infectious diseases, of poorly characterized cardiovascular damages during infection and of absence of data on the long-term evolution of the infection, the investigators propose to carry out a prospective and observational cohort study focused on the evaluation and the systematic cardiovascular follow up of patients who survived an episode of Covid-19, regardless of their cardiovascular profiles.

The study is devoted to the comparative analysis of the data received in patients with COVID-19 lung pathology using the method of probe-based confocal laser endomicroscopy of distal airways and two reference methods: high resolution computed tomography and morphology (in some patients).

Studies have shown that admission to hospital during a coronavirus epidemic is associated with increased levels of anxiety, depression and panic disorder. During the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic in North London the Royal Free Hospital admitted over 500 patients with Covid-19. As part of the standard of care, these patients are screened at 8 weeks post discharge for signs of anxiety and depression. The Feeling Good app is a NHS approved digital application which utilises applied relaxation, mindfulness based cognitive therapy and positive visualisation through audio tracks for the treatment of anxiety and depression. This is a naturalistic cohort study aimed to track the post illness psychological symptoms of those who have been admitted with Covid-19 to the Royal Free hospital up to 5-7 months after discharge. The study population is those who are exhibiting anxiety or depressive symptoms as measure by the PHQ-2 or TSQ questionnaires. All those with symptoms will be offered free access to a NHS approved app for anxiety and depression, and followed up for 3 months after recruitment to track changes to their symptoms.
