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.

There is no effective treatment method for COVID-19 yet. With vaccination being the most effective approach to control the COVID-19 pandemic, vaccines have been developed with many different methods. One of the vaccines developed, the China-based CoronaVac vaccine (inactivated + aluminum adjuvant vaccine) is a vaccine developed with the inactive method, which is the classical vaccine production method. As a result of Phase 1, Phase 2 and Phase 3 trials, emergency use approval has been given for the CoronaVac vaccine by Turkish Pharmaceuticals and Medical Devices Agency. The clinical picture of COVID-19 can be heterogeneous, ranging from asymptomatic to severe disease, which can be associated with a cytokine storm. In the clinical results of COVID-19, it has been observed that the severity of the disease is lower in women than in men, and the mortality rates are lower in women than in men. A few studies have shown the physiological roles of some vitamins and trace elements in COVID-19. Investigation of free radical levels known to be effective in the development of cardiovascular disease due to oxidative stress is important in determining the risk of cardiovascular complications in the COVID-19 pandemic. In addition, the social isolation rules and quarantine measures applied in the COVID-19 pandemic have caused individuals to be negatively affected physically and psychologically and their quality of life to decrease. Investigating the changes in oxidative stress parameters, trace element and quality of life levels of vaccination in COVID-19 may provide useful information in determining the effects of COVID-19 vaccine. It is planned to include female individuals to be vaccinated in Izmir Bakırcay University Cigli Training and Research Hospital. Within the scope of the study, it was planned to determine the oxidative stress parameters, trace element levels and quality of life levels of the individuals and to compare the values of the data obtained before and after vaccination. After analyzing the data obtained from the research with appropriate statistical methods, the data will be evaluated.

With the rapid spread of COVID-19 (SARS-CoV-2) disease all over the world and the announcement of a pandemic, research on many different drug approaches has begun and these researches continue today. Although measures such as social distance, quarantine and isolation are effective in reducing the spread of SARS-CoV-2 in the short term during the pandemic, there is no effective treatment method yet. It is known that especially healthcare workers, the elderly and individuals with underlying health problems are at high risk. However, gender differences in COVID-19 clinical outcomes are thought to exist, and there is growing evidence that the disease is more severe in men than in women and mortality rates are higher.With the global consensus that the most effective approach to control the COVID-19 pandemic is a vaccination that is effective in COVID-19, vaccines have been developed with many different methods. CoronaVac vaccine (inactivated + aluminum adjuvant vaccine) is a vaccine developed with the inactive method, which is the classic vaccine production method. After the completion of Phase 1 and Phase 2 trials of the vaccine, Phase 3 trials were initiated to investigate the effectiveness of the vaccine in 4 different countries, including Turkey. Emergency use approval has been given for the CoronaVac vaccine by Turkish Pharmaceuticals and Medical Devices Agency. Researching the effects of vaccination on oxidative stress parameters, trace element and quality of life levels in COVID-19 may provide useful information in determining the effects of COVID-19 vaccine. It is thought that the anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties of some vitamins and trace elements may be associated with positive results in COVID-19 patients, and the physiological roles of these vitamins and trace elements in COVID-19 have been demonstrated by studies. It is important to investigate the levels of free radicals known to be effective in the development of cardiovascular disease due to oxidative stress, which can provide information on determining the risk of cardiovascular complications in the COVID-19 pandemic. In addition, the quality of life of individuals decreases in the COVID-19 pandemic.This study is planned to be carried out by including male individuals to be vaccinated in İzmir Bakırçay University Çiğli Training and Research Hospital. Determination of oxidative stress parameters, trace element levels and quality of life levels before and after vaccination applications to be applied to individuals within the scope of the study; It was planned to compare these data before and after vaccination. After analyzing the data obtained from the research with appropriate statistical methods, the data will be evaluated.

Dogs are some of nature's greatest detectives, owing to their incredible sense of smell and ability to be trained. Most of us will be familiar with seeing trained sniffer dogs at airports looking for drugs and other prohibited items, but their skills don't stop there. The use of medical detection dogs is becoming increasingly common, as they are able to identify cancers, changes in blood sugar levels and even predict seizures. These are just a few examples of dogs playing a key role in public health. Many diseases can alter the way humans smell. A study undertaken by the London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine (LSHTM) and Durham University has shown that dogs are able to accurately diagnose malaria. The investigators know that respiratory illnesses can alter your body odours, and thus the investigators plan to determine whether dogs are able to identify the novel coronavirus known as COVID-19 (or SARS-CoV-2). COVID-19 can present itself asymptomatically (i.e. causing no apparent symptoms), which could lead to the spread of infection in the population. The investigators believe that dogs may be able to identify asymptomatic patients, as well as those who have mild symptoms (symptoms not requiring treatment, hospital stay or limiting normal activities). It is thought that a single medical detection dog stationed within an airport would be able to screen up to 750 people for COVID-19 infection in just 1 hour, informing those who are infected to isolate, preventing further spread of the disease. In order to determine whether it is possible for dogs to accurately diagnose COVID-19, the investigators must first collect samples. NHS staff and members of their households that are eligible for SARS-CoV-2 screening, have been selected to participate in this study due to their potential exposure to this disease agent. In addition, participants from the general population who are displaying mild COVID-19 symptoms or have been exposed to COVID-19 will be recruited via hospitals, testing centers, outbreak testing programs and home testing programs. Initially, participants will attend their screening test as planned or confirm that they have had a swab test within the previous 24 hours. Immediately following this, the investigators will ask participants to collect samples of breath odour and body odour, which will be collected passively through the wearing of face masks, shirts, and nylon socks. The investigators will ask to be provided with the results of the SARS-CoV-2 screening swab, which will allow for us to determine whether participants are positive or negative for SARS-CoV-2. These odour samples will be grouped by positive or negative test results, and transported to LSHTM where these will be processed in order to prevent contact with the virus, negating the risk for dogs and their handlers. A pilot study will be undertaken to confirm whether dogs are able to distinguish between positive and negative samples using traditional sniffer dog training methods. If this is possible, the investigators will proceed to the main study to determine the accuracy (known as sensitivity and specificity) of the dogs' ability to identify the virus. Both the handler and the dogs themselves will be 'blinded' to the samples, and thus unaware of which sample is which. When the data generated by these tests is entered, it will be confirmed whether or not the samples have been correctly identified. The dogs will be trained to detect and report the detection of the volatile odours characteristic of COVID-19 infection. For quality control purposes the investigators also aim to characterise the COVID-19 odour profile by analysing samples with a special process called GC (gas chromatography) and/or GC-MS (gas chromatography coupled mass spectrometry). This will help to inform the identification of compounds showing differences between infected and non-infected samples. The investigators believe that this work could be useful in the fight against COVID-19.

Rationale: The renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system (RAAS) dysregulation may play a central role in the pathophysiology of Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection associated acute lung injury (ALI) / acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). In the RAAS, Angiotensin I (Ang I) is converted to angiotensin II (Ang II) by angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE). Ang II mediates vasoconstrictive, pro-inflammatory and pro-oxidative effects through agonism at Ang II type 1 receptor (AT1R). ACE2 converts Ang II to angiotensin 1-7 (Ang1-7), which finally binds to Mas receptor (MasR) and mediates many beneficial actions, including vasodilation and anti-inflammatory, anti-oxidant and antiapoptotic effects. ACE2, a homologue of ACE, is an integral cell membrane protein with a catalytic domain on the extracellular surface exposed to vasoactive peptides. SARS-CoV-2 penetrates the cell through ACE2, and the increase of this receptor (due to the use of ACE inhibitors or angiotensin receptor blockers [ARBs]) may facilitate SARS-CoV-2 infection, which might increase the risk of developing severe and fatal SARS-CoV-2 infection. However, through upregulation of ACE2, ACE inhibitors/ARBs can exert anti-inflammatory and antioxidative effects, which may be beneficial in preventing ALI and ARDS. Objective: To evaluate the effectiveness and safety of telmisartan in respiratory failure due to COVID-19. Study design: This is an open label, phase 2 clinical trial. Study population: Adult hospitalized SARS-CoV-2-infected patients (n=60). Intervention: The active-treatment arm will receive telmisartan 40 mg daily and the control arm will receive standard care. Treatment duration will be 14 days or up to hospital discharge

Viral infections provoke the systemic inflammatory response and cause an imbalance between the procoagulant and anticoagulant homeostatic mechanisms. Multiple pathogenic mechanisms are involved, including endothelial dysfunction, increased von Willebrand factor, Toll receptor activation, and tissue factor pathway activation. D-dimer levels greater than 1000 ng / mL are associated with an 18-fold increased risk of mortality. In this context, many patients may require prophylaxis or antithrombotic treatment with low molecular weight heparins. Currently, there is no validated scheme on the dose and timing of the use of antithrombotic drugs. The study aims to identify the effect of two anticoagulant strategies (prophylactic and therapeutic) on the progression to ventilatory support or death in patients with COVID-19 infection who require hospital care.
