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.

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.

This is a stepped-wedge cluster randomized trial to assess effectiveness of Sinovac's Adsorbed COVID-19 (Inactivated) vaccine. Residents in the urban area of a municipality are eligible to participate. The city was divided in clusters and those cluster were grouped to determine the offer of vaccination in four steps. The vaccine will be offered to adults (18 years old and above) according to the location of their homes in a cluster. The vaccine schedule is two doses with four-weeks interval. Baseline samples to determine previous immunity will be collected before vaccination. Cases of COVID-19 reported in the city will be recorded according to the WHO clinical progression scale. Comparison of periods before and after vaccination and relation to immunization coverage will be considered for the assessment of effectiveness in the clusters and groups of clusters.

This study aims to evaluate the immunogenicity of Moderna mRNA-1273 vaccine in volunteers aged 65 years or more compared to volunteers aged 18-45 years, over 24 months duration. It will provide necessary data on the early immunological response to the vaccine and its evolution in quantitative and qualitative terms. This study will allow establishing how aging influences the response to the vaccine and help to adapt the vaccinal plan. For instance it will suggest the necessity of a vaccination booster.

Acute pancreatitis (AP) is an inflammatory disease of the pancreas, most commonly caused by gallstones, or excessive use of alcohol. It represents a management challenge and a significant healthcare burden. The incidence of AP ranges globally from 5 to 30 cases per 100.000 inhabitants/year, and there is evidence that the incidence has been rising in recent years. The overall case-fatality rate for AP is roughly 5%, and it is expectedly higher for more severe stages of the disease. In most cases (80%), the outcome of AP is rapidly favorable. However, acute necrotizing pancreatitis (ANP) may develop in up to 20% of cases, and is associated with significant rates of early organ failure (38%), needing some type of surgical/endoscopic intervention (38%) and death (15%). In the United States, AP is a leading cause of inpatient care among gastrointestinal conditions: more than 270.000 patients are hospitalized for AP annually, at an aggregate cost of over 2.5 billion dollars per year. In Europe, the UK incidence of AP is estimated as 15-42 cases per 100.000/year and is rising by 2.7% each year. Despite existing evidence-based practice guidelines for the management of biliary AP, clinical compliance with recommendations is poor, with studies on this field identifying major discrepancies between evidence-based recommendations and daily clinical practice. Audits about biliary AP have been performed in Italy, Germany, France, and England, with quite disappointing results. Indeed, in these audits, the treatment of biliary AP differed substantially from the recommendations. For example, less than 15% of the responders stated that they strictly followed all recommendations included in the guidelines in Germany and 25.8% of patients did not receive definitive treatment for biliary AP within 1 year in the UK. These findings support the view that publication alone of nationally or internationally developed and approved guidelines is insufficient to modify the practice of non-specialists and raises the question of how best to spread guideline recommendations. In 2020, the spread of the virus Covid-19 has represented a pandemic that also had a profound impact on the surgical community. There are many ways through which the outbreak of the Covid-19 pandemic could have influenced daily clinical practice for patients with biliary AP also leading to a failure to adhere to the recommendations coming from the guidelines, especially those regarding the early and definitive treatment with cholecystectomy or ERCP and sphincterotomy. First of all, the recommendation to postpone all non-urgent endoscopic procedures during the peak of the pandemic. Second, the recommendation to conservatively treat inflammatory conditions such as acute cholecystitis and acute appendicitis wherever possible. Since the clinical compliance with recommendations about AP is poor and the impact of implementing guideline recommendations in biliary AP has not been well studied on a global basis, we launched the MANCTRA-1 study with the aim to demonstrate areas where there is currently a sub-optimal implementation of contemporary guidelines on biliary AP. Moreover, we argue that during the Covid-19 pandemic the tendency to disregard the guidelines recommendations has been more marked than usual and we will try to find out if AP patients' care during the Covid-19 pandemic resulted in a higher rate of adverse outcomes compared to non-pandemic times due to the lack in the compliance of the guidelines. The MANCTRA-1 can identify a number of areas for quality improvement that will require new implementation strategies. Our aim is to summarize the main areas of sub-optimal care to provide the basis for introducing a number of bundles in the management of AP patients to be implemented during the next years. The primary objective of the study is to evaluate which items of the current AP guidelines if disregarded, correlate with negative clinical outcomes according to the different clinical presentations of the disease. Secondary objectives are to assess the compliance of surgeons worldwide to the most up-to-date international guidelines on biliary AP, to evaluate the medical and surgical practice in the management of biliary AP during the non-pandemic (2019) and pandemic Covid-19 periods (2020), and to investigate outcomes of patients with biliary AP treatment during the two study periods.

In this trial, we are evaluating the safety and tolerability of a new investigational DNA vaccine to protect against SARS CoV-2 virus, called COVIGEN, that is developed by a company called BioNet-Asia. A device will be used to inject the vaccine that does not require the use of a needle (needle-free injection made by a company called Pharmajet). For delivery into the skin (intradermally) a device called "Tropis" will be used, and for delivery into the muscle (intramuscularly) a device called "Stratis" will be used. This is a 2 part study In Part A vaccine naive participants will be given 2 vaccinations, either two active vaccines or two placebo vaccines on Day 1 and Day 29. COVIGEN C19 vaccine will be used in Part A In Part B participants who have previously received a 2-dose primary COVID vaccine schedule will be given a booster dose of active vaccine. COVIGEN C20 vaccine will be used in Part B. Participants in part A and B will be followed up using a combination of on-site and telephone visits for assessment of safety and immunogenicity for 12 months from 1st vaccination.

Rationale: COVID-19 is associated with severely increased morbidity and mortality in patients with severely impaired kidney function, on dialysis or alive with a kidney transplant. Therefore, effective SARS-CoV-2 vaccination would be of great clinical importance in these patients. However, SARS-CoV-2 vaccination studies have excluded patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) so-far. Objective: To assess the efficacy and safety of SARS-CoV-2 vaccination in patients with CKD stages 4/5, on dialysis or alive with a kidney transplant as compared to controls. Study design: prospective, controlled multicenter study Study population: 175 patients with CKD stages 4/5 (eGFR < 30 ml/min/1.73m2), 175 on dialysis , 300 alive with a kidney transplant and 200 controls (partners or sibblings of patients) Intervention: SARS-CoV-2 vaccination according to standard of care. Blood will be drawn at 4 different time points (baseline and at day 28, month 6 and in a subset 28 days after a third vaccination). Main study parameters/endpoints: The primary endpoint is the antibody based immune response on day 28 after the second vaccination. Participants will be classified as responders or non-responders based on a spike (S)1 specific antibody levels of >=10 or
