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 COVID-19 pandemic has been characterized by high morbidity and mortality, especially in certain subgroups of patients. To date, no treatment has been shown to be effective in patients with early-onset disease and mild symptoms. Experimental studies have demonstrated a potential anti-inflammatory role of Fluvoxamine, Fluoxetine, Budesonide and Spirulin Platensis in SARS-CoV-2 infections and observational studies have suggested a reduced complications in patients with COVID-19 disease.

The purpose of this study is to examine how patients with multiple myeloma (MM) have been impacted by the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) pandemic. The study will use a questionnaire to further understand how patients are being affected and gather information in order to track the long-term effects of the coronavirus. The scope of the questionnaire will include, COVID-19 diagnosis and treatment, changes in myeloma treatment and care, clinical trial familiarity, health and fitness, and quality of life. This questionnaire is a follow-on to the "MM and COVID-19" questionnaire.

People with chronic diseases including atherosclerotic heart disease, high blood pressure and diabetes are considered as a group with a high vulnerability. The COVID-19 pandemic ranging the world is rendering these people with chronic diseases even more vulnerable as they are subjected to a higher risk of COVID-19 related complications. General recommendations issued by the public health departments (PHD) do not take into consideration the personal situation of every citizen and therefore do not provide a personalized guidance to people with high vulnerability. The investigators hypothesis is that if participants receive adapted and personalized public health recommendations, they will be more adherent to the recommendations issued by the PHD and have better health outcomes than those who receive only general recommendations. In the current trial, the investigators propose to co-develop a web-based portal (Vigie-COVID) that provides tailored recommendations based on the situation of each participant and adapted to the COVID-19 status, the behavior risk associated to contamination, the risk of complications and the health risks related to confinement. Using a cohort of people aged 18 and over in the province of Quebec, this randomized clinical trial will use a nested a double-blind experimental design where the tailored recommendations will be compared to the general recommendations of the PHD. The expected results from this trial include: 1) Improvement in the rate of compliance with the PHD recommendations in the group receiving the tailored recommendations; 2) Improvement of the quality and the quantity of the COVID 19 epidemiological data available for population health research in the Quebec region; 3) Decrease in the load in clinics (self-diagnosis); 4) Improving the state of health of individuals. The portal will be co-constructed in collaboration between various key players (citizens, patient partners, clinicians, researchers, companies, managers, decision-makers and representatives of the PHD) and aims to allow the recommendations of the PHD to be tailored according to the specific situation of each citizen-user in order to promote preventive behavior in times of pandemic. Overall, the ultimate goal is to obtain a global epidemiological portrait in order to identify the determinants and indicators of sustainable health and their impacts. After the pandemic, this might enable the implementation of a personalized monitoring of chronic diseases.

Many people who have suffered from the effects of this disease might now be at risk of long-term impairment and disability. The extent of this impairment and disability is yet unknown, but it is clear from early research that these patients will be in need of rehabilitation in all phases of the disease - acute, post-acute and long-term. Rehabilitation is defined as "a set of interventions designed to reduce disability and optimize functioning in individuals with health conditions in interaction with their environment." Rehabilitation might very well be a key strategy to reduce the impact of COVID-19 on the health and function of people. A team work is needed to implement this programs which are essential in all phases to facilitate early discharge, but even more to support and empower patients.

Introduction: In late 2019, a novel human coronavirus was detected in Wuhan, China, causing an outbreak of the severe acute respiratory syndrome - Coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). The disease that SARS-CoV-2 causes was named coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). The virus rapidly spread throughout China and beyond, causing a public health challenge of global concern. Today, the availability of safe and effective drugs to treat COVID-19 remains limited, and symptomatic supportive treatments are the foundations of care. A natural glycophosphopeptical, AM3 has been shown to effectively improve the progression of infectious respiratory diseases with no side effects. In this context, AM3 could maintain an adequate immune status and serve as a therapeutic tool against COVID-19. Study Aim: The effect of AM3 supplementation on the progression of COVID-19 patients. To evaluate the existence of significant differences between control and intervention groups in the progression of severe COVID-19 disease. Methods: Double-blind randomized controlled clinical trial in collaboration with the Health Care Management of Soria. At the start of the trial, eligible patients will be randomized in a 1:1 ratio into two intervention and control groups. Block randomization with participants based on gender will be used. 120 patients with a confirmed diagnosis of COVID-19 by PCR and/or antigen testing will be randomized to the control group (placebo treatment) or experimental group (AM3 treatment), respectively. Patients will be randomly divided into two groups, the AM3 supplementation group (n=60) and the control group (n=60). The intervention group will be administered 2 indistinct capsules of AM3 (3 g/day of AM3) for 30 consecutive days, distributed in a single daily oral intake in the morning on an empty stomach. The control group will be administered a placebo of identical appearance of 2 indistinct capsules for a single daily intake in the morning, same dose as the experimental group (3 g/day of placebo), for 30 consecutive days.

The increased risk of transmission of COVID-19 infection causes the incidence of death in health workers to escalate. It requires further research on risk factors and intervention in health worker professionals, especially on immunity factors and nutritional status. Quality of diet and nutrition is very important to support the immune system when infected. Several probiotic strains have been shown to decrease the duration and incidence of diarrhea and respiratory infections, suggesting the Gut-Lung Axis pathway. Some probiotics also improve the balance of diversity in the composition of the gut microbiota and affect body weight in obese people. Probiotics have also been shown to improve vitamin D absorption. A combination of vitamin D and probiotics may be an alternative to reduce gut dysbiosis that will directly or indirectly reduce the risk and severity of viral infections including SARS-CoV-2.
