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.
Search Tips
To search this directory, simply type a drug name, condition, company name, location, or other term of your choice into the search bar and click SEARCH. For broadest results, type the terms without quotation marks; to narrow your search to an exact match, put your terms in quotation marks (e.g., “acute respiratory distress syndrome” or “ARDS”). You may opt to further streamline your search by using the Status of the study and Intervention Type options. Simply click one or more of those boxes to refine your search.

Purpose: to develop an international validated patient-reported outcome measure for COVID-19 patients according to international guidelines. In this phase III of the project, the preliminary questionnaire of 80 items will be tested. It has been developed based on literature review and interviews with health care professionals and patients (phase I-II). In Phase III A patients will fill in the questionnaire followed by interviews on relevance, importance and wording of the questionnaire In Phase III B patients will fill in the questionnaire and an debriefing questionnaire. We will do explorative psychometric analyses.

Comparison of Remdesivir Versus Lopinavir/ Ritonavir and Remdesivir Combination in COVID-19 Patients
Comparison outcomes of a large cohort of moderate and severe COVID-19 patients received remdesivir alone with patients who received remdesivir in combination with lopinavir/ ritonavir in addition to standard management.

COVID-19-infection has a large impact on the respiratory system and possibly on the diaphragm, the main respiratory muscle. In ICU-patients, diaphragm weakness is associated with prolonged ICU-stay, difficult weaning and increased mortality. Our research group recently found evidence for fibrosis and expression of genes involved in fibrosis as well as viral infiltration of the SARS-CoV-2 virus in diaphragm biopsies from COVID-19 ICU patients. This finding suggests a unique manifestation of diaphragm injury in COVID-19 patients after mechanical ventilation. However, it remains unclear what the exact nature and location of diaphragm injury is. Additionally, it is largely unknown whether this injury affects the movement of the diaphragm, but this might have important clinical implications. Therefore, we aim at visualizing the tissue characteristics and movement of the diaphragm in COVID-19 patients who recently received long-term mechanical ventilation, other ICU patients and healthy controls, using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). MRI of the diaphragm was already shown feasible in previous research from our group (article currently under review). New insights in the characteristics of diaphragm weakness and injury in COVID-19 patients and control ICU-patients will contribute to strategies to prevent it and monitor the diaphragm of patients under mechanical ventilation, which can contribute to better patient outcomes.

SUMMARY Rationale: Allied health professionals (i.e., dietitians, exercise therapists, physical therapists, occupational therapists and speech and language therapists) might play an important role in the recovery of patients with COVID-19 who experience limitations in daily physical functioning and participation. However, the evidence base for allied healthcare in patients with COVID-19 has yet to be established. To facilitate care for people recovering from COVID-19 and to establish this evidence base, the Dutch ministry has created a temporary regulation for primary care allied healthcare specifically for patients with COVID-19. Objective: This study is setup alongside the temporary regulation and aims to evaluate the longitudinal recovery trajectories and related costs of patients who visited a primary care allied healthcare professional for the management of severe symptoms and activity limitations and/or participation restrictions related to COVID-19. Study design: Prospective cohort study. Study population: 1,315 adult patients recovering from COVID-19 with severe symptoms and activity limitations and/or participation restrictions, and who are referred to a primary care allied health professional by a general practitioner or medical specialist within four months of the start of the disease will be eligible for this study. Intervention (if applicable): Although the nature of this study is non-experimental, the allied healthcare intervention can be considered experimental due to the novelty of the disease. Main study parameters/endpoints: The primary outcome domain of this study is participation measured with the Utrechtse Schaal voor Revalidatie - Participatie (USER-P). The primary endpoint is set at 6 months. A 5 point difference will be considered clinically relevant for patients with COVID-19. Nature and extent of the burden and risks associated with participation, benefit and group relatedness: There are no specific risks involved with participation in this study, as it entails the completion of questionnaires over the timeframe of one year (at the start of the treatment, the end of the treatment, 3 months, 6 months, 9 months and 12 months). The load of the survey will be highest at months 3, 6 and 12 with a total of 74 survey items. Input from patient representatives suggested that this number of items was feasible, especially because participants are allowed to complete the survey over a number of days. Finally, none of the items in the survey are considered emotionally distressing. The prescribed interventions are conform the recommendations of the best available evidence and are in line with usual allied healthcare interventions. Therefore, risks are likely to be negligible conform usual allied healthcare.

Few trials have reported the safety and efficacy of the COVID-19 vaccines. However, these trials were mostly focused on post-vaccination adverse events and short-term antibody detection with none monitoring the presence of immunoglobulin G (IgG) in blood at long-term follow-up after the vaccination. This study aims to evaluate the immune response in post-vaccinated individuals across a follow-up period of one year.

Vaccine rollout has started in many countries. In Italy, the Covid-19 vaccine used at the moment is the mRNA-based BNT162b2 and is given to Hospital employers. The investigators undertake this study to monitor IgG evolution after vaccination in the participant hospital settings, which includes 500 subjects.

Patients who received the indication for endoscopic diagnostics using gastroscopy in transnasal technique will be included into the study. The examination is carried out in standard technique and is not influenced by the study. Following the examination, patient data is collected pseudonymously and a questionnaire is submitted to the patient.

The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic required a rapid surge of healthcare capacity to face a growing number of critically ill patients. For this reason, a support reserve of physicians, including surgeons, were required to be reassigned to offer support. Given the time shortage for trainers and trainees, time and cost-efficient programs to gain maximal benefit from short rotations for several physicians at one time are required 8. In case of pandemics, blending face-to-face education to e-learning seems sustainable, with online resources being scalable and more cost effective than other methods 9.
