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 ISACS STEMI COVID-19 has been established in response to the emerging outbreak of COVID-19 to provide a European overview to estimate the real impact of COVID-19 pandemic on treatment and outcome of STEMI by primary angioplasty, and to identify any potential category of patients at risk for delay to treatment or no presentation.
Maimonides Medical Center
This study is a prospective randomized controlled, double blind clinical trial performed on laboratory confirmed COVID-19 infection admitted patients in the Shamir Medical Center. The trial will include 30 patients who will undergo either hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) or Normobaric oxygen therapy (NBOT), randomized on a 2:1 ratio, within 4 days in addition to the standard treatment including oxygen, drugs, steroids, bronchodilators, antibiotics and others. The evaluation procedure includes symptom monitoring, room air saturation, vital signs monitoring, pulmonary function and blood tests at baseline, one day and one week after the last session. In addition, one hour prior to and post session saturation and vitals will be monitored.

To date, nearly 2 million people, including at least 100,000 in France, have been infected with SARS-CoV-2 (severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2). This infection is very heterogeneous in nature, ranging from asymptomatic forms to acute respiratory distress syndrome patterns in 6.1% of cases, leading to an estimated overall mortality of 5.2%. Apart from age, few risk factors for a pejorative evolution have been identified: arterial hypertension, diabetes, cardiovascular history, obesity and chronic respiratory pathology in particular. The median incubation period is 5 days and the median time between the appearance of the first symptoms and the onset of hypoxia requiring admission to intensive care is 7 to 12 days. The mechanisms involved in the occurrence of these secondary worsening patterns are unclear. One hypothesis is that it is related to an inappropriate inflammatory response rather than a direct cytopathic effect of the virus. The objective of this study is to measure the intensity of the T lymphocyte response in patients hospitalized for Cov2 SARS infection in order to determine whether the intensity of the response is associated with worsening of symptoms.

Clinical Role of Testosterone and Dihydrotestosterone and which of them should be inhibited in COVID-19 patients - A double-edged sword? COVID-19 attacks and affects Males significantly more than females [1], [2]. Males with COVID-19 are reported to die at twice the rate of females when they come infected with the virus [3]. The upregulation of TMPRSS2 by androgens could explain the increased susceptibility to COVID-19 in men.Contrary to expected, as a study demonstrated that The expression level of TMPRSS2 increased 6-fold in androgen stimulated LNCaP cells, relative to androgen-deprived cells[4]. But, surprisingly, low levels of testosterone led to the over expression and upregulation of ACE2 and TMPRSS2 receptors, facilitating SARS-CoV-1 entry into the alveolar cells, and deregulating a lung-protective pathway [5].According to literature Dihydrotestosterone is many times more potent than testosterone, and many of the effects that testosterone has in the body only happen after it is converted to dihydrotestosterone [6]. Therefore, we hypothesis that testosterone has better effect than dihydrotestosterone in case of COVID-19, because a study found that DHT significantly induced the expression of TMPRSS2 [7]. And at the same time , decreased testosterone levels in critically diseased males harmfully affect pulmonary endothelial cell functioning, impair the ability to clear the virus , promote systemic . Obesity among males, promote defective immune response, , and also generates more pro-inflammatory cytokines important in cell signaling, emanating in increased, severe disease, worst outcome and vulnerability. Insufficient serum testosterone level is a poor prognostic indicator for patients infected with COVID-19 by downregulation pulmonary protective pathways [5], [8]. On the contrary, high testosterone levels can lead to complication of thrombosis which is also one of the serious manifestations in COVID-19 patients[9]. Thereby we hypothesize that decreased testosterone levels in men have a direct relation with the severity of infection and a worse outcome in COVID-19. In this case we should found an appropriate treatment that induces testosterone level to introduce its protective effect and up regulate pulmonary protective pathways and at the same time protect against thrombosis and works to reduce the impact of dihydrotestosterone on lung cells preventing up regulation of TMPRSS2, Her we shed new light on the appropriate treatment can overcome the challenges that face testosterone therapy in the era of COVID-19 After searching MEDLINE , PubMed, , Google Scholar, preprints and Controlled Trials until September , 2020 we found that the appropriate treatment in this case is aerosolized 13 cis retinoic acid in combination with testosterone therapy, as more than one study found that 13 cis retinoic acid reversibly and potentially inhibit the effect of dihydrotestosterone on different targeted cells. In addition its impact on thrombin.
