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 epidemic has shown very high mortality among older people, especially among poly-morbid and dependent subjects. In addition to the classic risk factors of age, dependence and associated co-morbidities, community life exposes to specific increased risks in the event of this easily inter human transmissible viral epidemic. In France, according to the Direction of research, studies, evaluation and statistics (DREES) data (Ehpa study, 2015) more than 600,000 elderly people currently live in nursing homes (NH). Since March 28, a national guidance for monitoring the COVID epidemic in NH has just been set up. In France, 14 178 of the 29 319 COVID deaths (48.35%) by June 10th 2020 occurred among NHs residents. Work to consolidate these data is underway, suggesting a much heavier balance sheet. Faced to this threat, in addition to practical recommendations (barrier protection gestures), strict instructions were also announced to all NH to keep their residents safe from COVID : restricting all visitors, all volunteers and nonessential personnel, and more recently, confining residents in their room in case of incident case of COVID in the NH. Organizational factors of NH such as the prevention strategies deployed before and during the epidemic (pneumococcal vaccination, restricting group activities), as well as NH internal resources (equipment, nursing staff) and health resources in the NH environment (hospital partnerships, support devices, telemedicine) lead to heterogeneous situations and could influence the death rates of residents. On the other hand, social isolation can also precipitate the decline of fragile residents. Beyond the immediate and directly risks linked to COVID-19, the present hypothesize that the organizational measures (guidance and recommendations) put in place can have, during and at a distance from the outbreak, beneficial effects but also deleterious effects depending on the severity of the outbreak of a geographic area. More precisely, the hypothesis is that strong and well-followed recommendations at the time of the epidemic were associated with a reduction in the risk of total death in particular of deaths related to COVID in the zones most affected by the epidemic but also that strong and well-followed recommendations were associated with an increased risk of total death, in particular of deaths unrelated to COVID in the areas least affected by the epidemic.

The proposed study will investigate respiratory aerosols in SARS-CoV-2 (Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Corona Virus 2) positive and negative children and adults with the Resp-Aer-Meter (Palas GmbH). For this purpose, first, the measurement of respiratory aerosols (particle sizes and concentration) with the Resp-Aer-Meter will be established. Thereafter, a comparison between polymerase chain reaction (PCR) SARS-CoV-2 positive and negative participants (children and adults) will be conducted. In addition to the measurement of aerosols, the clinical symptoms, lung function (FEV1) and laboratory inflammatory markers will be analyzed.

Vicryl (polyglactin) 10-0 resorbable suture is rarely used, little known to ophthalmologists but may offer therapeutic and practical advantages in eligible cases of corneal trauma, particularly during a COVID-19 pandemic. This has imposed new sanitary restrictions : limited access to the operating room in ophthalmology only for functional emergencies and a drastically reduced capacity for external consultations in favor of teleconsultation. The aim of this study is to evaluate the Vicryl 10-0 (polyglactin 910) resorbable monofilament suture in corneal trauma, rather than classic Nylon 10-0: structural and functional results, and adaptation of postoperative follow-up during a sanitary crisis period.

In the study, the researchers aim to investigate the impact of contact restrictions during the pandemic of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) caused by the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) on newborns and their parents. At the onset of this COVID-19 pandemic, contact restrictions in Germany were introduced on March 16th, 2020. These included, among others, the ban on visits to hospitals. This also applied to visits by fathers of newborn children. In many hospitals, fathers were allowed to accompany the mother in the delivery room for birth, but had to leave the hospital before the mother was being transferred to the ward. Fathers were not allowed to visit their wives and newborns until discharge several days later. The hypothesis of this study is that these contact restrictions have an influence on mother-infant interaction as well as on the psychological well-being of the parents. Furthermore, the investigators postulate that these restrictions additionally have a long-term effect on neonatal stress signaling pathways. For this purpose, children are studied, who were born during the period of strict contact restrictions from March, 16th to April, 30th, 2020. The children will be assessed at about six months of age.

The COVID-19 pandemic has highlighted deleterious US health inequities. Specifically, African Americans, Latinos, and Native Americans have and continue to shoulder a greater burden of COVID-19 infections and deaths in the US. In addition to existing racial and ethnic disparities are rural health and regional disparities. Given the disproportionate impact of disease in US communities of color and also in rural and southern regions of the US, there is no doubt that these at-risk subgroups will continue to experience higher rates of coronavirus-related mortality as well as other long-term health outcomes as compared to other US populations. It is unknown how healthcare providers and other key at-risk subgroups within the US will receive COVID-19 vaccines. For success in immunizations, the US will need to reach their most at-risk and vulnerable populations. In addition to at-risk populations, a successful immunization strategy will involve engaging providers to support clear, consistent, and strong vaccine recommendation. It is critical to build vaccine trust, confidence, and overall acceptance of COVID-19 vaccines among healthcare providers and key at-risk subgroups, especially given the accelerated production timeline of these vaccines. Likewise, tailored vaccine messaging for key subgroups is vital in achieving vaccine confidence and trust. The proposed study will explore perceptions, confidence, trust, and uptake of potential COVID-19 vaccines among healthcare providers (nurses and doctors) and key at-risk population subgroups (minority populations living in the rural south) and will develop and test vaccine messaging that boosts vaccine confidence and trust among these key at-risk subgroups.

Background - A novel coronavirus, severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), was first identified in December 2019 as the cause of a respiratory illness COVID-19 in Wuhan City, China. WHO declared a public health emergency outbreak of this virus on 30 January 2020 and declared COVID-19 a global pandemic on 11 March, 2020. Bangladesh reported its first case on March 8, 2020 and first fatality on April 1, 2020. Bangladesh had shown a staggered course of COVID-19 transmission initially but a surge in cases was observed from April, 2020. Remdesivir remains as the only potential therapy for the treatment of COVID-19 till date. Based on several pre-clinical studies in SARS-CoV and MERS-CoV infections, Animal trials in COVID-19 and data from human trials, this randomized, controlled, open label trial will evaluate the antiviral activity and safety of Remdesivir in Bangladeshi hospitalized patients with severe COVID-19. This study finding will provide knowledge if Remdesivir is effective enough to treat Bangladeshi COVID-19 hospitalized patients with adequate safety and tolerability. The result of this study will help the key opinion leaders regarding the matter, to take appropriate decision regarding usage of Remdesivir for the treatment of COVID-19 in Bangladesh. Study Procedure - All patients will receive the standard medical care for COVID-19+ve at the respective hospitals. Vital signs will be recorded every 24 hrs for 1st 5 days then once in 2 days till discharge or as per the discretion of the attending physicians. After screening the COVID-19 confirmed patients will be randomized into 2 treatment arms. Patient's safety assessment e. g. blood parameters (CBC, Creatinine, SGPT, RBS, Creatinine, Creatinine Clearance) will be done on screening, day 5 and day 14 or discharge; Chest X-ray and ECG on screening and day 14 or discharge. SARS-CoV-2 (viral load) will be looked in on day 5, day 10 and day 14 or at the time of discharge. In case any study patient deteriorates during the study period will be managed as per the guideline of that particular hospital and if needed will be shifted to ICU. Patients who will recover will be discharged as per the national guideline for the COVID-19 hospitalized patients. Patients will be contacted at 28 days either over phone or in person to get their health status since discharge.
