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.

Severe SARS-CoV-2 disease is characterized by a progressive hypoxemic respiratory failure. Autopsies from these patients show severe endothelial damage with extensive vascular thrombosis, microangiopathy, and occlusion of alveolar capillaries and, finally, evidence of new vessel growth through intussusceptive angiogenesis. This research aims to study endothelial damage and angiogenesis biomarkers and its association with major cardiovascular events.

NAME of STUDY: Surfactant levels in the lungs of COVID-19 patients BACKGROUND - Infection with SARS-CoV-2 may induce respiratory failure. - COVID-19 associated respiratory failure may require ventilatory support. - SARS-CoV-2 uses alveolar type II cells for virus replication. - Alveolar type II cells are responsible for surfactant production and lack of surfactant causes respiratory failure in preterm neonates. - Lack of surfactant may play role for respiratory failure in COVID-19 patients DESIGN Exploratory prospective study design without therapeutic intervention of any kind. Lung fluid will be donated as part of standard care procedures. HYPOTHESIS Surfactant is measurable in tracheal secretions by mid-infrared FTIR spectroscopy determined surfactant spectra. Surfactant is reduced in COVID-19 patients requiring ventilator support as compared to non- COVID-19 patients. Dysfunctional surfactant in COVID-19 patients regain its function when respiratory function improves. POPULATION Main population is patients with COVID-19 pneumonia that requires ventilatory support. OUTCOME MEASURES Primary outcome is the level of surfactant in lung fluid as obtained by tracheal suction. SAMPLE SIZE In total 30 patients will be included: twenty COVID-19 patients and 10 non-COVID-19 patients.

During pandemics older adults with chronic physical conditions are a particularly vulnerable population for unmet mental health needs. This is a consequence of a number of factors which include decreased access to their doctors because of restrictions in visits in order to decrease risk of disease transmission and because doctors are seconded to provide medical services in areas of high priority. Since Public Health authorities worry that pandemics may be a reality of the future, this study is being operationalized during the present COVID-19 pandemic in order to see what can be learned about different ways to provide mental health care under such constraints. The study offers evidence-based approaches to managing feelings of anxiety or depression that may have existed prior to the onset of a pandemic, or that have arisen during a pandemic. It uses principles of cognitive behavioural therapy in which participants are offered self-care tools to help them develop strategies for dealing with their various symptoms. These tools have already been shown by the team to be effective in other contexts in studies DIRECT-sc (Effectiveness of a supported self-care intervention for depression compared to an unsupported intervention in older adults with chronic physical illnesses) and CanDIRECT (Effectiveness of a telephone-supported depression self-care intervention for cancer survivors). The present study, PanDIRECT (Assisting Family Physicians with Gaps in Mental Health Care Generated by the COVID-19 Pandemic), aims to answer the following questions: 1. Can these tools be used in the community care of mental health problems during pandemics? 2. Are they acceptable to patients? 3. Using a randomized control trial, does lay-coaching of use of these tools improve their use and patient outcomes? 4. Do family practitioners value patient information sent to them at the end of the trial

COVID-19 is a viral respiratory and systemic disease that has been rapidly spreading globally since the first cases were reported in December 2019 and has now become pandemic. The causative agent of COVID-19 was identified as a novel coronavirus named severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2, first designated as 2019-nCoV). The disease manifestations of COVID-19 can range from mild, self-resolving respiratory disease to severe pneumonia, ARDS, multiorgan failure, and ultimately death. In early reports, the mortality rate among patients admitted to hospital and with confirmed SARS-CoV-2 infection was reported to be between 4 and 15%. Although the disease can afflict all age groups, elderly patients and patients with underlying comorbidities such as high body mass index, hypertension, diabetes, cardiovascular disease, or cerebrovascular disease are at risk of developing severe disease and dying. There are currently no etiologic treatments for COVID-19, and efforts are underway to identify therapeutics that could be effective in controlling this disease.

The SARS-CoV-2 virus is responsible for the COVID-19 pandemic. The pandemic emerged from Wuhan Province in China in December 2019 and was declared by the WHO Director-General a Public Health Emergency of International Concern on 30 January 2020. In this study, a vaccine developed by IIBR for SARS-CoV-2 virus will be assessed for its safety and potential efficacy in volunteers. The study is comprised of two phases, a dose-escalation phase (phase I) during which subjects (18-55 years old) will be randomly allocated to receive a single administration of IIBR-100 100 at low, mid or high dose or saline or two administrations of IIBR-100 at low dose, or saline, 28 days apart. Based on results obtained during phase I, and cumulative phase I data review, the expansion phase (phase II) has begun, during which larger cohorts as well as elderly age subjects will be randomly allocated to receive a single administration of IIBR-100 at low, mid or high dose or saline, or two administrations of IIBR-100 at low, mid or high dose (prime-boost) or saline, 28 days apart. Additional top-dose (prime-boost) may be implemented when immunogenicity of any prime-boost arm is considered insufficient. Based on immunogenicity preliminary data and DSMB recommendations, the two administrations of mid, high and top dose (prime-boost) or saline will continue. The subjects will be followed for a period of up to 12 months post last vaccine administration to assess the safety and efficacy of the vaccine.
