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.

This is a cross-sectional survey which will be distributed online between surgeons. The survey was proposed by a consensus of consultants of surgery and revised by an improvement consultant. It consists of a semi-structured questionnaire that is provided in English language. The survey will be conducted online through an online survey development cloud-based software (SurveyMonkey®; San Mateo, CA, USA). Participants will be aware of the nature of the survey and informed that they will be listed as co-authors. Collected data will be confidential and anonymous. The first sector of the questionnaire includes trainee demographics and baseline characteristics. Then the questionnaire aims to compare the trainee experience before and after the pandemic with focus on research activities, clinical, and surgical practice.

The fight against the spread of the 2019-nCoV epidemic has achieved some success in China, but the epidemic is far from over. A key factor making the epidemic under control in China is the government's call for social distance, which has led to few people going out for donation. As a result, the number of blood donors on the streets has been continuing to decline. The first urgent recruitment of blood donors had been implemented during the period from 30 April to 10 May via emergency recruitment SMS . This second repeat trial has been designed to further confirm the results from the the first recruitment by comparing which information extraction frameworks would be more sensitive to blood donors in emergency situations.

A questionnaire is developed based on the literature and clinical experience. Initial testing will be performed on 20 patients. The first and second sectors include patient demographics and patient clinical diagnosis/scheduled surgery, respectively. The following sectors examine the process of delivering the cancellation/re-scheduling; care after cancellation and whether the procedure conducted elsewhere or not; and the impact of cancellation on patient health, career, and financial aspects.

During the Coronavirus pandemic children's hearing services are closed or reduced and grommet operations are part of the lowest priority group. In the absence of management options, this research study aims to see if bone conduction headphones either paired (via bluetooth) to a microphone or an app will help children with a hearing loss during this period of waiting. The child's quality of life is measured with validated questionnaires The study is over 3 months, and delivered remotely, with the product being sent to the family home and support offered via telephone/ video consulattion.

The novel coronavirus, severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2, that causes coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID -19), is highly contagious in the community and has resulted in a global pandemic. This infection has a special implication on the patient who complains from cardiac disease or acute cardiovascular condition and may result in cardiovascular complications such as myocardial infarction. For this end, we target to study this group of patient, who has a cardiac disease with COVID-19 in Qatar, in addition, the acute myocardial infarction with COVID-19 from the Gulf countries and collect all the related data to come with a comprehensive view about those patients.

Covid-19 is an emerging critical highly infectious virus
Université de Montréal
Background: Traditionally, medical students learn surgical skills through the observation of a resident or a surgeon performing the technique. Due to inconsistent practice opportunities in the clinical setting, a disparity of skill levels among students has been observed. In addition, the poor availability of faculty professors is a limiting factor in teaching and adequately preparing medical students for clerkship years. With the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, medical students do not have access to traditional suturing learning opportunities. Didactic courses are available on videoconferencing platforms, but they do not include technical training. Objective: Our overarching goal is to evaluate the efficacy of web-based peer-learning for advanced suturing techniques (i.e., running subcuticular sutures). The investigators will use GEN (Gamified Educational Network), a newly developed online learning tool. The investigators will assess students' ability to identify and to perform the right technique. The investigators will also assess students' satisfaction with regards to GEN. Methods: The investigators will conduct a prospective randomized controlled trial with blinding of expert examiners. First-year medical students in the Faculty of Medicine of Université de Montréal will be randomized to four groups: 1) control group, 2) self-learning, 3) peer-learning, and 4) peer-learning with expert feedback. Each arm will have 15 participants who will learn how to perform running subcuticular sutures through videos on GEN. For our primary outcome, students' ability to identify the right technique will be evaluated before and after the intervention on GEN. They will view eight videos and rate the surgical technique using the OSATS (Objective Structured Assessment of Technical Skills) Global Rating Scale (GRS) and the Subcuticular Suture Checklist as evaluation criteria. For our secondary outcomes, students will anonymously record themselves performing a running subcuticular suture and will be evaluated using the same scales. Then, a survey will be sent to analyze the overall performance of the platform. Results: The study will be conducted in accordance with the Declaration of Helsinki and has been approved by our institutional review board (CERSES 20-068-D). No participants have been recruited yet. Conclusions: Peer-learning through GEN has the potential to overcome significant limitations related to the pandemic and the lack of availability of faculty professors. Further, a decrease of the anxiety related to traditional suturing classes can be expected. The investigators aim to create an innovative and sustainable method of teaching surgical skills to improve the efficiency and the quality of surgical training in medical faculties. With the current world events of COVID-19, the necessity for such tools are imperative.

The question of the immune response of the population, particularly of professional populations in contact with vulnerable populations (such as those with chronic conditions such as cancer), is an important issue. Knowing the evolution of this response over time in this population can help answer outstanding questions. The PRO-SERO-COV study is a seroprevalence study of caregivers working in the hospital sector with a follow-up at 3 months and 12 months. The objective is to evaluate and monitor at 3 and 12 months the serological immune status to an infection by the SARS-CoV-2 virus in active volunteer professionals working at the Institut Bergonié with different types of exposure: healthcare professionals and professionals in other services.
