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.

There is currently no treatment available for COVID-19, the acute respiratory illness caused by the novel SAR-CoV-2. Convalescent plasma from patients who have recovered from COVID-19 that contains antibodies to the virus is a potential therapy. On March 25th, 2020, the FDA approved the use of convalescent plasma under the emergency investigational new drug (eIND) category. Randomized trials are needed to determine the efficacy and safety of COVID-19 convalescent plasma for acute COVID-19 infection. The objective of the CONCOR-1 trial is to determine the efficacy of transfusion of COVID-19 convalescent plasma to adult patients admitted to hospital with COVID-19 infection at decreasing the frequency of in-hospital mortality in patients hospitalized for COVID-19. It is hypothesized that treating hospitalized COVID-19 patients with convalescent plasma early in their clinical course will reduce the risk of death, and that other outcomes will be improved including risk of intubation, and length of ICU and hospital stay. This pan-Canadian clinical trial has the potential to improve patient outcomes and reduce the burden on health care resources including reducing the need for ICU beds and ventilators.

Q-PROTECT is a placebo controlled randomized trial (RCT) to ascertain the efficacy of hydroxychloroquine (HC) alone or, in combination with azithromycin (AZ), in reducing viral load in patients with COVID 19.
Hope Biosciences
Hope Biosciences is conducting a research study of an investigational product called autologous adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cells (abbreviated as HB-adMSCs) to provide immune support against COVID-19. The study purpose is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of five IV infusions of HB-adMSCs in subjects with no signs of COVID-19.

The 2019-20 coronavirus disease, caused by COVID-19, is an ongoing pandemic. The measures in which public health officials quarantine confirmed and isolate symptomatic cases in order to reduce the spread COVID-19 is the common practice used in most countries. However, a significant question remains in regards to the asymptomatically infected individuals, which may propagate the virus and impede infection control. The other question to consider is whether these asymptomatic carriers develop an immune response or continue viral shedding. The purpose of the current study is the evaluate the immune response, i.e developing anti-SARS-CoV-2 antibodies in the asymptomatic cases, in a household study design. We plan to evaluate over 1000 patients with positive COVID-19 results and their households.

COVID-19 ( known as severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2)) has a highly polymorphic clinical presentation, ranging from pauci-symptomatic infection to severe, potentially complicated forms with acute respiratory distress syndrome or multisystemic organs failure. The picture may be initially severe, or it may progress in two stages, with worsening 7 to 10 days after the first symptoms with an overall case-fatality rate of 3 to 4%. Its management is essentially symptomatic, as no antiviral treatment has so far demonstrated a clinical benefit in this condition. In such a context, healthcare professionals assigned to COVID units will be faced with a heavy workload and emotional burden that could lead to psychological suffering or even burnout and its consequences. We would therefore like to describe, using validated tools, the emotional evolution of the care workers at the Limoges University Hospital and the Esquirol University Hospital faced with this new pandemic infection. An initial and end-of-study evaluation of the caregivers will be carried out concerning their anxiety and depressive state, their personal capacity for resilience and their degree of empathy

The outbreak linked to SARS-CoV-2 infection was declared a Public Health Emergency of International Concern on 30 January 2020. In all of the emergency Departments, a major reorganization was necessary, notably with the creation of a specific channel for COVID-19 suspect patients. Thus, all caregivers involved must adapt day by day to new places of exercise, new protocols,...The major influx of patients, the precautions to be taken, the specifics of the pathology and its management have profoundly changed daily practice. This exogenous hospital tension impacts all caregivers and more particularly their resilience capacities. Resilience is defined as an ability to recover from or adjust easily to misfortune or change. The Resi-CoV study aims to assess the level of resilience of caregivers of different specialties and trades in the context of covid-19.

integrating social media into medicine has obvious potential to improve patient care and trust in the profession, in part by meeting patients "where they are," i.e., online, at the same time carries a greater risk in terms of legal, ethical, and professional aspects. Therefore, physicians and medical students using social media should pay attention to the ethical sensitivity in their relationships with patients .it also raises a number of ethical issues including protecting patient and physician privacy; setting appropriate online boundaries; and delineating personal and professional identities among others during covid 19 pandemics

Clinical data about psychological impact of quarantine are well studied in transient event or more prolonged situation like jail incarceration. In recent metaanalysis, psychological impact of quarantine was well documented in a specific population during first SARS epidemy. Even after the end of quarantine several patients were still with symptom of avoiding mainly agoraphobia, frequent hand washing and a carefull return to normal life COVID-19 infection is already associated with psychological symptom like anxiety, depression, sleep disorders and symptoms of acute stress However psychological impact of quarantine is on none in chronic painful inflammatory rheumatism in France. The prevalence of rheumatoid arthritis is 0.5% of the population with frequent comorbidity such as anxiety and depression. During the quarantine secondary to COVID-19 pandemic it's possible to evaluated the psychological impact of adult RA patients. The present study is an "emergency" being realize before the end of the quarantine.

Background: There is limited knowledge on the psychological implications of COVID-19 among hospitalized patients and their close relatives. Moreover, evidence-based psychological interventions targeting hospitalized COVID-19 patients and their relatives are currently lacking. Objective: To test a minimal psychoeducational intervention versus standard of care for reducing anxiety among hospitalized COVID-19 patients. Methods and analysis: The trial is a Randomized Controlled Trial (RCT) with a 1 month and 3 month follow-up. Hospitalized COVID-19 patients are consecutively included at admission and randomized 1:1 to either an intervention or control group. Patients randomized to the intervention group will receive a minimal psychoeducational intervention just prior to discharge from the hospital. The goal of the intervention is that patients will be prepared and learn to interpret and react to physical and psychological symptoms that are related to recovering from a COVID-19 infection. Data is collected using standardized and validated patient reported outcome measures (PROMs) to assess mental health outcomes. The primary outcome is patient reported anxiety as assess by the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale. Perspectives: This study will provide a comprehensive understanding of the psychological implications of the COVID-19 outbreak. If successful, the minimal intervention is easily implemented in daily clinical practice.
