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 recent worldwide outbreak of the COVID-19 infection and the huge impact it has had upon lives in the UK, it is key to increase knowledge on the impact of the virus on the body. Certain aspects of the virus' characteristics are also poorly understood: The reason behind the variation in response between individuals, and the long-term impacts of infection upon the body. It is already known from previous research that muscle-health plays an important role in health, with other illnesses known to have an impact upon muscle health. A large number of studies have investigated the relationship between muscle and health, with an increasing focus upon the impact upon the mitochondria within the muscle cells. Mitochondria are the energy-producing component of a cell and are vital not just for the muscle-cells but for the body as a whole. The researchers hope that by investigating the impact of COVID-19 infection upon human skeletal muscle, the question of why individuals have different responses to the infection and the mechanism of the longer-term impact of infection can be answered. This added knowledge will then, hopefully, be able to guide therapy targets in the future.

COVID-19 (Coronavirus disease 2019) is a new infectious disease caused by a virus named as SARS-CoV2 (Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus-2). Although it can have a devastating effect on many organs, the respiratory tract is particularly affected. In the course of the disease, a wide clinical spectrum is observed, from flu-like illness to lung failure. Some of the patients who survived the disease continue to have problems such as shortness of breath, fatigue, decrease in walking distance, decrease in participation in daily life activities. These problems suggest that the effects on respiratory and cardiac functions continue even after the disease ends. This study was designed to demonstrate the effects and extent of COVID-19 on cardiopulmonary capacity.

Subjects (125) will be randomized to one of five mouthrinses and will be asked to give a saliva sample immediately before and after a 30-60 second mouthwash. Saliva samples will be collected from subjects at 15-minute intervals thereafter up to one hour (15, 30, 45 and 60 min). The saliva will be used for RT-PCR detection of Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome CoronaVirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) and viral infectivity assays, along with quantitative cytokine and chemokine concentration (pg/mL, Luminex). Subjects will complete a short survey on the taste and experience of using the mouthwash. Peripheral blood will be collected at the end of salivary collection. Subjects, except controls, will be provided materials and oral hygiene instruction related to daily use of oral hygiene products. In the seven-day period between study visit one and study visit two, subjects will be directed to brush with Colgate toothpaste (at least twice per day) and rinse with the Colgate mouthrinse (according to on-label procedures). Controls are asked to carry out their typical oral hygiene regimen with the products they typically use. All subjects keep a daily diary of oral hygiene performance, product usage, COVID-19 symptoms and exposures. Subjects complete study visit two one week after the baseline visit during which additional salivary (1 time point, 2 mL of saliva over 5 min, no rinse) will occur and blood samples collected. each subject will undergo a periodontal exam.

Since initial reports of a novel coronavirus emerged from Hubei province, China, the world has been engulfed by a pandemic with over 3 million cases and 225,000 deaths by 30th April 2020. Health care systems around the world have struggled to cope with the number of patients presenting with COVID-19 (the disease caused by the SARS-CoV-2 virus). Although the majority of people infected with the virus have a mild disease, around 20% experience a more severe illness leading to hospital admission and sometimes require treatment in intensive care. People that survive severe COVID-19 are likely to have persistent health problems that would benefit from rehabilitation. Pulmonary rehabilitation (PR) is a multidisciplinary program which is designed to improve physical and social performance and is typically provided for people with chronic lung conditions. PR courses typically last 6-12 weeks with patients attending classes once or twice weekly and consist of exercise and education components. PR is known to improve symptoms (e.g. breathlessness), quality of life and ability to exercise in those with lung conditions. Breathlessness is a very common symptom reported by people presenting to hospital with COVID-19 and loss of physical fitness will be very common. Using existing pulmonary rehabilitation programmes as a model, we have developed a tele-rehabilitation programme (a programme that will be delivered using video link to overcome the challenges faced by social distancing and shielding advice) for people that have been critically ill with COVID-19. In order to prove whether people benefit from this tele-rehabilitation programme after being admitted to hospital following COVID-19 we would need to perform a large clinical trial. However, before doing this it is important for us to answer some key questions: - How many people that have been admitted to hospital and needed intensive care treatment for COVID-19 still report breathlessness, fatigue, cough and limitation of activities after being discharged from hospital? - Is it possible to recruit these people to a trial of tele-rehabilitation after hospital discharge? - Are people willing and able to perform tele-rehabilitation in their own home using video-link to connect with their therapist? - Are there other rehabilitation needs that are commonly encountered by people requiring intensive care treatment for COVID-19 that could be addressed by tele-rehabilitation that the programme doesn't currently address? Investigators will perform a small study called a feasibility trial to answer these questions and gather some early information about possible benefits of tele-rehabilitation. Based on our understanding of other similar diseases, doctors and therapists think that people will benefit from rehabilitation after COVID-19. The investigators therefore want to test a trial design that makes sure that everyone gets the treatment. This type of trial is called a feasibility, wait-list design randomised controlled trial. People with breathlessness and some limitation of activities will be selected at random to receive tele-rehabilitation within 2 weeks or to wait 6-8 weeks before starting. how many people were eligible to take part, how many agreed to take part and the symptoms and rehabilitation needs that they have will be assessed. Investigators will then monitor symptoms and ability to exercise at the start and end of the trial and before and after tele-rehabilitation.

Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) has been widespread worldwide since December 2019. It is highly contagious, and severe cases can lead to acute respiratory distress or multiple organ failure. On 11 March 2020, the WHO made the assessment that COVID-19 can be characterised as a pandemic. With the development of machine learning, deep learning based artificial intelligence (AI) technology has demonstrated tremendous success in the field of medical data analysis due to its capacity of extracting rich features from imaging and complex clinical datasets. In this study, we aim to use clinical data collected as part of routine clinical care (heart tracings, X-rays and CT scans) to train artificial intelligence and machine learning algorithms, to accurately predict the course of disease in patients with Covid-19 infection, using these datasets.

Covid-19 also primarily affects endothelium that line up the alveoli. The resulting hypoxemia may differ from "typical" Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome (ARDS) due to maldistribution of perfusion related to the ventilation. Thus, pathophysiology of Covid-19 ARDS is different, which requires different interventions than typical ARDS. The investigators will assess whether extravascular lung water index and permeability of the alveolar capillary differs from typical ARDS with transpulmonary thermodilution (TPTD) technique. Extravascular Lung Water Index (EVLWI) and Pulmonary Vascular Permeability Index (PVPI) will be compared.

The investigators are enrolling 100 healthcare Provider volunteers (n=100) from across the United States to help to evaluate and document the financial impact of COVID-19 on Physicians and other healthcare Providers. This investigation will compare individual Physician revenues before and after the advent of the COVID-19 pandemic. The investigators expect to be able to differentiate between revenues lost due to the COVID-19-driven business recession and revenues lost due to the manipulation of reimbursement processes by insurance companies. The inextricable linkage between Payer and Physician revenues suggests that Payer revenues are higher at the direct expense of Physicians, since both streams come from the same sources of funding. The secondary objective is aimed at revealing the methods Payers use to retain more money.
