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 clinical study we confirm that combination of isotretinoin and All trans retinoic acid can be used in the treatment of SARS-COV-2 better than vaccine according to the findings of previous studies and researches. Retenoic acid can induce neutralizing antibodies in case of corona virus (COVID-19) by restoring inhebited and exhausted T cells via inhebiting both CD13 and Angiotensin-converting enzyme-2 (ACE2). CD13 amyloid receptor which abundantly overexpressed on cell surface of lymphocyte, Dentritic cell, Macrophage, granulocytes and monocytes and is ubiquitous in respiratory tract epithelial cells, smooth muscle cells, fibroblasts, epithelial cells in the kidneys and small intestine, activated endothelial cells, and platelets In addition inhibing of Angiotensin-converting enzyme-2 (ACE2) , Angiotensin T1 protein and Angiotensin II-mediated intracellular calcium release pathway which is responsible for COVID-19 cell fusion and entry.ACE2-expressing cells are prone to SARS-CoV-2 infection as ACE2 receptor facilitates cellular viral entry and replication. A study demonestrated that patients with hypertension and diabetes mellitus may be at higher risk of SARS-CoV-2 infection, as these patients are often treated with ACE inhibitors (ACEIs) or angiotensin II type-I receptor blockers (ARBs), which have been previously suggested to increase ACE2 expression.Butisotretinoin was found to be the strongest down-regulator of ACE 2 receptors.and this will give hope for diabetic patients or patients with hypertension infected with COVID-19.Therefore we suggest that Retinoic Acid will help in inhabiting factors which may enhance antibody dependent enhancement (ADE), A phenomenon caused by covid-19 which expected to lead to failure of vaccination specially in case of corona virus (covid-19) as a hyper mutatated COVID-19 antigens can lead to (ADE) phenomenon in which IgG antibodies facilitate viral entry and fusion with infected cell through uptake of the virus-IgG complex via the Fc receptors and later viral fusion with antigen presenting cells like Dentric cells, macrophages and B cells via FcR , through the neonatal FcR instead of antibodies induced viral agglutination and this is known as antibody dependent enhancement (ADE)(2) ADE can hamper vaccine development, as a vaccine may cause the production of antibodies which, via ADE, worsen the disease the vaccine is designed to protect against. ADE in COVID-19 infection can be caused by high mutation rate of the gene that encodes spike (S) protein. In this clinical study we suggest that Hyper mutated spike protein ,lymphopenia, and impaired dentreic cells all these factors can help in and lead to delayed antibodies response and appearing after a period of covid -19 symptoms onset and this may be responsible for antibody dependent enhancement (ADE) Keywords: COVID 2019 , Retinoic acid, Lymphopenia ,T Cells, Dentric cells , ADE, Vaccine

This is observational study to assess the prognosis of patients hospitalized with COVID-19 confirmed by RT-PCR and exposed to trimethylxanthine (TMX). Trimethylxanthine is the active molecule present in coffee. Due to the lack of etiologic treatments and considering interest about old treatments as an avenue for research, we conducted a comparative study aiming to evaluate the effect of 1,3,7-trimethylxanthine on COVID-19 infected patients. This is actually a study about methodology. The objective of this study is therefore not to demonstrate the effect of the substance on the disease but the importance of a rigorous methodology in scientific research. This project is called "Method and Teaching of Scientific Studies".

The aim of this randomized controlled clinical trial is to assess the effectiveness of Basic Body Awareness Therapy online in patients' survivors of Covid-19, health workers and women suffering from gender based violence regarding post-traumatic stress disorder in comparison with treatment as usual. The study will be multicentric in base Hospital Igualada and University of Lleida. The participants will be survivors of Covid-19 that had been inpatient in intensive care and health workers in first line with pandemia as doctors, nurse, physiotherapist, etc. More else, a new context emerge regarding gender based violence during the lockdown time. Outcomes variables will be measured regarding post-traumatic stress disorder, anxiety, depression, pain, quality of life and sleep. Fifty-four patients will be randomly assigned to a control group that will follow treatment as usual. The intervention group that will be received the same treatment adding Basic Body Awareness Therapy. The intervention will last 3 months twice a week at online format. At first month the intervention consisted of 12 movements and 15 min for sharing reflections about experiences. During the subsequent sessions, the treatment will be in group of 8 participants using the same methodology online. If the conditions of pandemia allow, the group will be presential in the health center at last month. Data analysis will performed using ANOVA of variables intragroup with repeated measurements. The analyses of the effects between groups will be performed throught ANOVA intergroup.

COVID-19 is a global pandemic. So far encouraging results have been shown in different parts of the world with the utilisation of hydroxycloroquine, zinc, and azithromycin, and early studies into some of these, plus some with Vitamin C, have also proven beneficial. Vitamin D levels have also been shown to be an important indicator to the severity of symptoms in COVID-19 patients.

This single arm, multicenter study provides the pertuzumab and trastuzumab fixed-dose combination formulation for subcutaneous injection (PH FDC SC) administered at home by a home health nursing provider for patients with human epidermal growth factor receptor 2-positive (HER2+) breast cancer who have completed concurrent chemotherapy with pertuzumab (Perjeta) and trastuzumab (Herceptin) by intravenous administration (P+H IV) and are currently receiving or will be receiving maintenance therapy with P+H IV, PH FDC SC, or trastuzumab SC in the clinic. The main objective is to enable continuity of care during the COVID-19 pandemic. This study will enroll approximately 200 patients in the United States. Participants with early or metastatic HER2+ breast cancer will be enrolled in this study. Participants with metastatic HER2+ breast cancer will receive treatment every 3 weeks and continue treatment unless early cessation is necessary due to disease recurrence, disease progression, unacceptable toxicity, participant withdrawal of consent, or per physician's recommendation. Participants with early HER2+ breast cancer will receive PH FDC SC to complete 1 year (up to 18 cycles) of dual blockade, including the P+H IV, PH FDC SC, or trastuzumab SC they received prior to enrolling in this study, unless early cessation is necessary due to disease recurrence, disease progression, unacceptable toxicity, participant withdrawal of consent, or per physician's recommendation. A remote cardiac surveillance substudy will be optional for patients enrolled at select sites. The Sponsor may decide to terminate the study when the COVID-19 pandemic is no longer a risk for this patient population.
