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 acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) is currently spreading rapidly around the globe, causing a major public health issue. There is currently very few data about the impact of COVID-19 on pregnancy, and potential in utero infection. This is a prospective observational study of COVID-19 diagnosed pregnant patients. This objective is to examine the impact of COVID-19 during pregnancy on the rates of obstetric and perinatal complications.

The COVID epidemics is responsible for a huge number of death following COVID acute respiratory failure. First instance treatment includes oxygenotherapy up to 15L/min in spontaneous ventilation. However COVID infection can ultimately lead to an acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) requiring mechanical ventilation in the intensive care unit (ICU). Guidelines on ARDS management are based on small ventilation volume (6 mL/kg), a pulmonary end expiratory pressure (PEEP) chosen to get the best pulmonary compliance, a plateau pressure lower than 30 cm of water and daily prone positioning when PaO2/FiO2 ratio is lower than 150. In ventilated ARDS patients, prone positioning has shown survival improvement. Though they applied this optimized management of ARDS patients, Chinese intensivists have recently reported mortality rate higher than 50% in ARDS COVID patients requiring intubation and mechanical ventilation. Before being intubated and admitted to ICU, COVID patients require increasing rate of oxygen delivery. From the start of the epidemics, we have observed that an oxygenotherapy rate higher than 3L/min at the initial phase of the disease was associated with a high risk of severe acute respiratory distress (30%) The investigators hypothesize that prone positioning in patients in spontaneous ventilation (not tubed) from the stage of oxygenotherapy higher than 3L/min (to get an SpO2 of 95% or higher) would prevent respiratory worsening and the need for intubation. Prone positioning is easy to apply in patients in spontaneous ventilation since they can change position by themselves.

In this protocol, we seek to examine the role of popular messaging platform WhatsApp in information spread during a crisis. As there have been few global crises in the last decade (coinciding with the rise of social media), the role of private messaging platforms such as WhatsApp during crisis contexts remains understudied. During the current COVID-19 global health crisis, we undertook this study to: (1) characterize the nature of WhatsApp use during crises, (2) characterize the profiles of WhatsApp users (3) understand how WhatsApp usage links to well-being (fear and thoughts about COVID-19).

Clinical thoracic ultrasound plays an important role in the exploration, diagnosis and follow-up of thoracic pathologies. The COVID (Coronavirus Disease) epidemic is leading to a large influx of patients in the emergency department with respiratory disorders. The rapid diagnosis of respiratory disorders in infected patients is important for further management. Chest ultrasound has already demonstrated its value in the diagnosis of pneumonia in the emergency department with superiority over chest X-ray. However, there is little data on the thoracic ultrasound semiology of viral pneumonia in general and of COVID in particular.

The COVID-19 pandemic has necessitated drastic measures in order to limit the spread of SARS-CoV-2. The stay home policies for the whole population and especially for frail patients and the express instruction to deprogram non-urgent consultations and interventions limited the clinic visits in neuro-urology department. In this context, telemedicine was seen as a pragmatic solution to provide follow-up care for our neurologic patients. Due to the delay in deploying telemedicine and the cognitive impairment of some of our patients, telephone consultation has been prioritized. The COVID-19 pandemic might be an opportunity to review and refine our practices in neuro-urology. For the follow-up of selected patients, telephone consultations may be efficient and cost effective. The aim of the study is to assess the efficiency and the satisfaction with telephone consultation for the physician and the patient. The study was conducted in a neuro-urology department of a university hospital in France. During the stay-home policies for the COVID-19 pandemic, all the scheduled medical visits were converted into telephone consultation. New patients weren't included. For each teleconsultation, the physician assess the duration of the consultation, the number of tries to join the patient, the efficiency of the consultation, the difficulty to obtain relevant information due to the phone way of the consultation and the lack of physical examination. On the next days, the patient was contacted by phone and was asked a) if he was satisfied of being phoned by the physician, b) if the teleconsultation was embarrassing, c) if he had enough time of teleconsultation d) if he got all the answers to his queries, e) if he would preferred to had a physical consultation f) to assessed the global satisfaction of the teleconsultation and g) if in the future, they may considered converting some clinic visits to teleconsultations. The physician and the patient assessed whether this teleconsultation has replaced a physical visit. The usual transport mode of the patient for a clinic visit and the need to take a day off for worker patients were recorded. The primary aim was to assess the efficiency and the satisfaction of the telephone consultation. The primary outcome was the evaluation of the efficiency of the telephone consultation by the physician on a numerical 10-points scale. The secondary outcome was the evaluation of the satisfaction of the telephone consultation by the patient on a numerical 10-points scale. Four hundred teleconsultations are scheduled for five physicians.
