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.

In this 30-month study, the investigators propose to develop a culturally appropriate vaccine confidence intervention, targeting positive change related to HPV vaccine uptake behavior and reducing sentiments of hesitancy towards a COVID-19 vaccine, that can be seamlessly integrated into the existing environment of pediatric and family practice clinics in rural Alabama. To do so, the investigators will first assess stakeholders' knowledge, sentiments, and beliefs related to vaccination in general, a COVID-19 vaccination, and the HPV vaccination. The investigators will also assess stakeholders' perceptions of barriers to vaccination that exist in rural Alabama. This will occur in Aim 1. Then, in Aim 2, the investigators will use these data to inform the development of a non-invasive, modular synchronous counseling intervention targeting 15-17 year old adolescents (rationale for this age range presented later in this proposal). After the intervention has been finalized, in our final aim, Aim 3, we will conduct a hybrid type 1 effectiveness-implementation cluster randomized control trial to assess intervention acceptability and feasibility (N=4 clinics; N=120 adolescents), while also assessing for a "clinical signal" of effectiveness. To support dissemination and scale up, also during Aim 3, we will document implementation contexts to provide real-world insight. To do this, the investigators will conduct in-depth interviews with the same groups of stakeholders that we interviewed in Aim 1.

The additional effect of personalized health education compared to general education following the internationally accepted principles will be evaluated in the prevention of the serious course of the novel coronavirus infection. It is hypothesised that personalized health education provides a greater degree of lifestyle change, thus the risk of a serious course of infection decreases.

The objective of this study is to better understand public attitudes towards coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) vaccination. This understanding will inform the development of community engagement strategies to be used in future interventions and studies aimed at addressing factors that impact the disproportionate burden of COVID-19 in under-served and vulnerable communities.

The coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic is a significant psychological stressor that threatens the onset of a mental health crisis in the US. Fear and anxiety about COVID-19 and its economic impact, as well as loneliness due to the required social isolation, are driving the mental health impacts of COVID-19; in a recent Kaiser Family Foundation poll, 45% of respondents reported that the coronavirus has had a negative impact on their mental health. This is reflected in Southeastern Ohio. In data that the investigators collected from 317 Ohio University faculty, staff, and students from late May to early June, 39% reported moderate-to-severe levels of anxiety, 41% reported moderate-to-severe levels of depression and 57% reported the COVID-19 outbreak was impacting their sense of social connection much or very much. Despite the significant community need for accessible and affordable care, there are currently no evidence-based interventions for individuals coping poorly with coronavirus-related distress. The investigators have developed a virtual group-based intervention targeting cognitive biases that amplify the experience of stress and anxiety (i.e., amplifying cognitions; Coping with Coronavirus-Related Emotion and Worry [COPING CREW]). The next step in developing this intervention in a scientifically rigorous manner is to refine the manual and procedures and conduct a pilot test of the intervention.

Aim of the study is to investigate possible predictors and factors that may be associated with the development and maintenance of mental and physical health constrains including depression and anxiety symptomatology as well as loneliness in hospitalized post-COVID patients and non-COVID patients in Germany. Furthermore, it will be investigated whether psychological interventions have an effect on anxiety and depression symptomatology, on loneliness values, self-efficacy and perceived social support values. Specifically, the research aim is to examine the relationships between loneliness, self-efficacy, and social support and to address the question of what factors increase the risk of post covid depression/anxiety, and to test the buffering effect of physical and social activities. For this purpose an experimental group comparison will be applied, in which two interventions will be performed on post-COVID patients and non-COVID patients in the unit of Physical Medicine and Geriatrics in Medical Rehabilitation.

African Americans (AA)/People of Color (POC) are disproportionately impacted by COVID-19 to an extent not observed in other racial/ethnic subgroups. People of color are uniquely affected because keeping diabetes under control - the best defense against COVID-19 - has become more difficult as the pandemic has disrupted medical care, exercise and healthy eating routines which are already well-known challenges for the African American community. Diabetes Self-Management Education and Support (DSMS/S) facilitates the knowledge, skills, and ability necessary for diabetes self-care as well as activities that assist a person in implementing and sustaining the behaviors needed to manage their condition on an ongoing basis. Now, given the implications of COVID-19 on the AA/POC diabetes community, it is imperative to enhance DSME/S with education about protection and prevention of COVID-19. To begin to solve this problem we will adapt and implement the "emPOWERed to Change" DSME/S program to provide enhanced type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) education with an additional emphasis on COVID-19 protection and prevention. This study will employ Community Based Participatory Research methods and will be conducted virtually in the community setting. The proposed hypothesis, based on the Health Belief Model (HBM) and the Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB), is: African Americans (AA)/People of Color (POC) in Los Angeles County with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) randomized to participate in the "emPOWERed to Change" program (N=48) are more likely to demonstrate sustained glycemic control, increase in knowledge and skills related behaviors, and risk factors associated with T2DM and SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19) and increased compliance with prevention, and vaccination as compared to those who are randomized to usual care (N=48) in this 12 week program. We propose a randomized control study design among 96 participants with 48 assigned to an intervention group and 48 assigned to a control group. This study will also explore the experience of the participants' appraisal of knowledge and skills acquisition for DSME/S to maintain T2DM control, reduce complications, and SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19) prevention and protection. The ultimate goal is to design prospective larger behavioral studies (SuRe first or R21) with a multi-centered intervention with other RTRN institutions to demonstrate the applicability of this approach specifically focusing on the AA/POC community.

For caregivers in the Bronx, the pandemic has caused unprecedented psychological distress; in addition to combating social determinants of health (SDOH), these families now face greater financial insecurity and challenges related to their school-aged children. Furthermore, social distancing requirements and limited telehealth resources for Bronx families have posed greater barriers to healthcare. Such parental distress contributes to heightened risk of transgenerational cycles of psychological stress, trauma and maltreatment. The social and economic impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic have had significant consequences for family well-being, putting parents at higher risk of experiencing distress and potentially impairing their ability to provide supportive care to their children. Although children may be less susceptible to the most damaging physical consequences of COVID-19, there are growing concerns regarding the short-and long-term impacts of pandemic-related stressors on children. The marked upheaval of family life over an extended period may make children vulnerable to mental health consequences associated with the public health crisis and infection mitigation efforts. School and childcare closures, unstable financial circumstances, social isolation and lack of support have a disproportionate, cumulative impact on parents and may undermine their capacities to provide support for their children. Importantly, a large body of evidence suggests that parental stress during times of disasters induces psychopathologies in family members including children. Further, high anxiety and depressive symptoms in parents during the pandemic have been associated with higher child abuse potential, whereas greater parental support was associated with lower perceived stress and child abuse potential. In addition to psychological impacts, stress associated with caregiving can interfere with parents' ability to maintain their own health. This multimodal study addresses key strategies to mitigate the psychological and health impact of COVID-19 in parents.

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.
