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.

Prior findings in various viral respiratory diseases including SARS-CoV-related pneumonia suggest that convalescent plasma can reduce mortality, although formal proof of efficacy is still lacking. The investigators propose to evaluate intravenous administration of convalescent plasma (CP) obtained from COVID19 survivors in COVID19 patients who are in the medium stage. Supportive data exist for use of convalescent plasma in the treatment of COVID19 and other overwhelming viral illnesses. The study team wants to test the hypothesis that treatment with COVID19 CP will demonstrate salutary effects on COVID19 disease severity/duration, with the primary objective to reduce mortality. In addition, a major secondary objective to reduce the requirement for and/or duration of mechanical ventilation. This phase is to test the safety and efficacy of CP therapy.

1.5. Why this clinical study? The prevalence of seropositivity following SARS-CoV 2 infection might have its own potential benefits in terms of predicting the end of pandemic and the validity of herd immunity. It is not clear if SARS-CoV 2 infection would have a long-lasting antibody-mediated immunity, and if the antibodies' persistence is dependent on disease severity.depends on the severity of illness. If evidence is provided about the persistence of antibodies that is reflective of the protective immune response, serodiagnosis will be an important tool to identify individuals with various risk for infection, and those who are in need of receiving the forthcoming vaccines. The here proposed prospective clinical study will test the prevalence of seropositivity following SARS-CoV 2 infection in critically ill patients compared to those who do not require intensive care unit (ICU) admission or invasive ventilation with respect to the IgM and IgG levels.

The proportion of asymptomatic carriers of SARS-CoV-2 remains elusive, so the potential benefit of systematic screening during the SARS-CoV-2-pandemic is controversial. We investigate the proportion of asymptomatic inpatients who were identified by systematic screening for SARS-CoV-2 upon hospital admission. Adult patients admitted to the University Hospital Basel from 01.04.-14.06.2020 were routinely tested for SARS-CoV-2 within 72 hours of admission by nasopharyngeal swabs. Each patient screened during the study period was retrospectively classified symptomatic or asymptomatic for COVID-19 based on medical chart review.

Study of SARS-CoV2 Virus (COVID-19) Seroprevalence Among Lyon-Bron Military Health Schools Personnel
Emerging in China in December 2019, Covid-19, whose pathogen is SARS-Cov-2, was declared a global pandemic in March 2020. The clinical presentation is highly variable, ranging from asymptomatic forms to acute respiratory distress and even death. Transmission is by droplet route, with an R0 of approximately 3. Rapidly, population protection measures were put in place by governments, including the confinement of all persons whose functions were not considered essential and the closure of educational institutions. Health care institutions are places at risk of Covid-19 transmission and hospital staff are particularly exposed, either through direct contact with patients, contact with exposed persons or through the environment. In order to protect personnel, hygiene measures were immediately recalled and reinforced. During the period of containment, the majority of students from the Lyon-Bron Military Medical Schools were sent as reinforcement in Army Training Hospitals and in the Military Reanimation Unit (Mulhouse). Some students developed symptomatic forms of SARS-Cov-2 infection, documented by positive PCR, during Operation Resilience or on their return from the mission. The Lyon-Bron Military Medical Schools staff, exposed both to the initial phase of the epidemic and to national protection measures, represent an extremely interesting population for understanding the epidemiological dynamics of the virus.

Severe pneumoniae related to Coronavirus Disease (COVID-19), had a high in-hospital mortality; this condition are worst in subjects with acute kidney disease (AKI); conditioning increased mortality, days of assisted mechanical ventilation (AMV), increased nosocomial infections and high costs. We need many studies for determinated the risk factors for AKI in subjects with COVID-19. This study pretends identify the incidence of AKI in subjects with severe pneumoniae by COVID-19, describe the role of some biomarkers in the physiopathology of AKI-COVID-19; and determine the evolution of urinary biomarkers during hospitalization, like neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin (NGAL), tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinases-2 (TIMP-2), insulin-like growth factor binding protein-7 (IGFBP7), and interleukin-6 (IL-6) and the progression of viruria of Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS) related to CoronaVirus 2 (CoV2) in subjects with or without AKI.

"Background France counted on January 1, 2020, 70,651 people detained, for 61,080 places. Overcrowding in detention is considered as risk factor for infectious diseases transmission, such as respiratory infections. The prison environment represents a confined environment, which could protect prisoners from possible external contamination. If one or more inmates were infected through visiting rooms, officers working in detention, or newly incarcerated people, an epidemic could spread more quickly in the prison community. Thus, few cases of COVID-19 were observed among the subjects in detention with a few weeks delay compared to the free world. However, detention conditions make it more difficult to detect suspicious cases. On the other hand, carrying out diagnostic tests is structurally more difficult to carry out there. Thus, given the plurality of clinical presentations, the non-optimal sensitivity of the SARS-CoV-2 RT-PCR, and the difficulty in carrying out diagnostic tests, it is today difficult to have a precise idea of the number of prisoners having encountered SARS-CoV-2. It is also a population that is not taken into account in the large seroprevalence studies currently conducted in the general population. In order to estimate the number of prisoners exposed to SARS-CoV-2 and in the absence of data currently available in the medical literature, a seroprevalence study in this at risk and little studied population would bring new data to the medical community. Hypothesis In adult subjects living in penal establishments in Ile de France, the seroprevalence of SARS-CoV-2 would be lower compared to the general population. Material and method Open multicenter cross-sectional study carried out in the 11 penal establishments of Ile de France. A sampling of 3,500 inmates stratified over the 16 detention areas concerned will be carried out. The inclusion criteria will be detained subjects who have expressed their consent to participate in the research, aged 18 to 80 years. Each selected detainee will be invited to the health unit to perform a venous blood test for anti-SARS-CoV-2 antibodies. The goal is to take 2,500 blood samples (30% expected refusal rate). Each sample will be analyzed in the virology laboratory at P. Brousse hospital. Expected results Obtain an assessment of the seroprevalence of SARS-CoV-2 in prisons to determine the exposure of detained persons. This assessment will make it possible to undertake public health actions and to propose the implementation of group protection measures such as vaccination if this is soon available.
