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.

Although arrhythmias appear to be common in COVID-19 patients, arrhythmia mechanisms and characteristics, predisposing factors, incidence of sudden cardiac death and predictors, therapeutic strategies employed as well as long term outcomes are not well understood. Hence, we seek to develop a multicenter registry aimed to characterize arrhythmic manifestations, employed treatment strategies and long-term outcomes among hospitalized COVID-19 patients in the US.

Following the acute phase of COVID, some patients may have sequelae, such as breathing difficulties or malnutrition. We hypothesize that a functional and respiratory rehabilitation program associated with personalized nutritional care will improve quality of life, physical performance and respiratory capacities and will decrease the prevalence of malnutrition among those patients.

The consequences of COVID-19 in these already fragile patients should be evaluated. It will be important to appreciate the confinement consequences imposed on the patient on the course and impact of the disease. These consequences can be assessed by the end of confinement and 6 months after the latter is lifted.
Misr International University
Spread of COVID-19 in the world has led to a shift in teaching and learning techniques to online methods in order to prevent transmission of the disease. Misr International University (MIU) has an established online learning system that has been used together with face-to-face classes. The aim of this study is to assess and compare the satisfaction and perceptions of full-time teaching staff and undergraduate students regarding online learning during COVID-19 crisis.

This study aims to evaluate several of Owlstone Medical's Breath Biopsy aerosol respiratory droplet capture techniques for the detection of nCOVID-19. These are single use disposable breath capture devices with removable filters and fitted PVA strip that directly sample exhaled breath aerosols and therefore, directly sample the primary transmission route for the virus. They can be used independently and shipped for analysis for the presence of nCOVID-19 using established existing assays available in any reference lab. The trial is a non-inferiority trial comparing diagnostic accuracy of collection via face mask vs. available diagnostic procedures in standard care and will also asses the feasibility of patient use of the equipment. Subjects will be recruited at the Addenbrookes Hospital, Cambridge. Minimal patient characteristics (e.g. age, sex) are collected. Between 20 and 100 subjects with with a positive nCOVID-19 diagnosis will be sampled to obtain to address the primary study hypothesis. Due to the pre-test probability of patients being positive for nCOVID-19 is unknown we will monitor the number of sampled subjects with a positive diagnosis on a weekly basis. The clinical diagnosis of the subject based on a combination of imaging, viral diagnostics and clinical assessment will be used as the reference standard. When this number hits 100 the study will be discontinued. In total no more than 500 subjects shall be sampled in this trial.

Severe Acute respiratory syndrome coronovirus (SARS-CoV-2) was first described in Wuhan in December 2019. It quickly spread to rest of the world and was declared pandemic by World health organisation. Initial case series focused on lung involvement in the form alveolar haemorrhages and respiratory failure. However, subsequently, there have been reports of kidney involvement resulting in severe acute kidney injury. However, the reported incidence from Chinese data has been less than 5% and detailed epidemiology of AKI in COVID-19 disease is lacking.

COVID-19 is a pathology linked to the SARS-CoV-2 virus, a new virus of the coronaviridae family that emerged in China in December 2019 before rapidly becoming a pandemic according to the WHO on March 11, 2020. The epidemic affected France from February 2020. On February 24, a patient hospitalized at Percy hospital was the cause of a major nosocomial epidemic, potentially responsible for more than 250 symptomatic people in the hospital as of April 6. The outbreak was identified by Percy hospital management on March 16, and barrier measures were immediately put in place. From March 20, a mixed investigation unit set up a chain of nasopharyngeal swabs for Percy hospital staff. A COVID-19 case reporting unit was set up at Percy hospital in response to the identification of the outbreak within the hospital. This unit carried out rapid identification and regular follow-up until the return to work of the staff. Thus all symptomatic patients are identified and the COVID-19 case census cell will follow all Percy hospital staff, including volunteers recruited to deal with the epidemic, throughout the duration of the epidemic. This population, captive by nature, will be one of the few described in the world during this epidemic. Current data on short-, medium- and long-term immunity induced by COVID-19 infection are fragmentary, as is the existence of a large asymptomatic population, making it difficult to cut the chains of transmission in the absence of an effective diagnostic tool. Another important issue is the quality of immunity induced by the infection, as it conditions the future of the pandemic, which could become endemic and recurrent if immunity were not sterilizing. As yet unpublished data in primates show that in the primate model re-infection is not possible in the short term, while patients cured from the Wuhan epidemic seem to be detected again positive for virus shedding. The objective of this study is to characterize the immunity (systemic and local) induced by SARS-Cov-2 infection among Percy hospital staff who are at high risk of contamination even in a period of confinement.

Background The immediate psychological impact of COVID-19 is already emerging. The investigators are interested in the benefits of a self-management booklet focused on the current circumstances in response to the COVID-19 pandemic on people's physical and mental wellbeing. Who can participate? The investigators are looking for participants aged 18 and over who live in the UK and can read and write in English, without any current serious mental health problems (e.g. bipolar disorder, PTSD, active thoughts of self-harm, or severe anxiety/depression), and who feel that their physical and/or mental wellbeing have been affected since the COVID-19 pandemic. What does the study involve? Eligible participants will complete questionnaires at baseline following which they will be randomly allocated to either receive the self-management booklet right away (via email) or after 4 months (waiting-list, in the meantime participants will be provided a link to educational materials). Participants will not be able to choose whether they will receive the self-management booklet right away or be in the waiting-list as a computer system (Qualtrics randomiser) will allocate them to one of the two groups at random. Participants in both conditions will be asked to complete online questionnaires at multiple time points, 2-months and 4-months after allocation. Participants in the waiting-list condition will also be asked to complete the same set of questionnaires at 6- and 8-months after allocation to assess how beneficial they found the self-management booklet. Participants will also be invited to take part in an audio-recorded interview after T2 to tell us more about how they found the self-management booklet or the educational materials. The investigators will select 30 participants (15 from each condition) for the interview out of those who opt-in to capture a wide range of experiences and backgrounds. What are the possible benefits and risks of participating? Risks to participants are small. Participants may find reflecting on the impact of COVID-19 on their lives distressing. However, these effects are anticipated to be short lived, as participants will learn psychological techniques during the intervention that can help them manage better in the current circumstances and improve their wellbeing. Where is the study run from? The lead site is King's College London. The study is run online via Qualtrics. When is the study starting and how long is it expected to run for? May 2020 to May 2021 Who is the main contact? Dr Federica Picariello federica.picariello@kcl.ac.uk
