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.

Although coronaviruses (CoV) cause mild infections in the community, such as colds, they can also cause more severe infections. There are many subspecies of coronaviruses that can pass from animals to humans and can be transmitted between humans. One of these subspecies is COVID-19 (severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2), SARS-CoV-2, and has made a worldwide pandemic from the beginning of 2020. In this process, going out of the house, going to the hospital and being in the hospital brings with it the anxiety to get sick. In the period when the feeling of motherhood begins at the end of birth, the hospitalization of the baby for any reason and the separation of the mother and the baby can be an additional source of stress. This study was planned to determine the anxiety and anxiety levels of mothers who had a baby in the NICU during Coronavirus disease pandemic and the factors affecting them.

A randomised controlled trial designed to test whether an online expressive writing intervention (LIO-C) can reduce distress for English-speaking adults during the global COVID19 pandemic. Hypothesis: LIO-C will improve distress (as measured by K10) in adults at 1 week post-intervention compared to a neutral writing control during the COVID19 pandemic.

Introduction: The SARS-Cov-2 outbreak in France and the concomitant massive increase in the number of cases requiring hospital management create a major risk of COVID-19 infection for hospital staff. In addition to nosocomial transmission, the health care workers (HCWs), defined as persons serving in health care settings who have the potential for direct or indirect exposure to patients or infectious materials, are also exposed to community transmission. Whether HCWs acquire infection at work or in the community is important to adapt protection measures. A few studies investigated COVID-19 infection among medical and nursing personnel. However, none have analyzed all categories of hospital staff. As of April 9, 2020, a total of 9,282 US HCWs with confirmed COVID-19 had been reported to CDC (US), however description of occupational activities was not available. Therefore, limited information is available about COVID-19 infection among HCWs. Thus, the objectives of the sdudy are to estimate the incidence of symptomatic SARS-CoV-2 infection in HCWs in five university hospitals (including geriatric hospitals) of the great Paris area and to estimate both nosocomial and community risk factors. Method: A prospective and retrospective cohort study that includes all hospital staff (including medical and nursing personnel, health care managers, laboratory, radiology, reception staffs, stretcher-bearers, etc.) working in different departments of five university hospitals (acute medical centers and geriatric hospitals) in the great Paris area (9 000 HCWs). Incidence of symptomatic SARS-CoV-2 infection will be estimated with its 95%CI. Individual and contextual risk factors will be analyzed using multilevel multivariate logistic regression modelling to account for clustering and confounding. Conclusion This study should make it possible to better characterize SARS-Cov-2 contamination of HCWs and to estimate the share of nosocomial transmission.

The 2020 pandemic of the coronavirus (SARS-CoV2) has lead to an increase in ARDS cases requiring invasive mechanical ventilation in the ICU (Intensive Care Unit). The investigators hypothesize that airway pressure release ventilation (APRV) could be beneficial in patients with ARDS secondary to SARS-COV2 viral pneumonia.

The general aim of this study is to estimate the rate of disease progression for adults testing positive for SARS-CoV-2. The primary endpoint for this study and the basis for sample size is hospitalization or death during the 28 day follow-up period. In some locations special facilities are being built/utilized for quarantine/public health reasons for those who are SARS-CoV-2 positive. Hospitalization is defined as a stay for at least 18 hours, irrespective of reason, at a hospital or one of these special facilities after study enrollment. Secondary outcomes include participant-reported health status and change in severity of dyspnoea.

As of March 25, 2020, 414,179 cases and 18,440 deaths secondary to Coronavirus 2019 disease (COVID-19) have been reported worldwide. The unfavorable course of the patients is characterized on the immunological level by an intense pro-inflammatory response which can go as far as a cytokinic storm. This pandemic affects a naive world population from an immunological point of view with respect to SARS-CoV-2 responsible for COVID-19. The evolution is favorable without hospitalization in almost 85% of cases. Among patients hospitalized for pneumonia, some will not require ventilatory support while others will need intensive care. To date, two main types of unfavorable evolution have been described. The first is a bi-phasic evolution beginning with a paucisymptomatic form which is worsened secondarily with respiratory distress associated with a decrease in the viral load in the airways. The second is associated with persistent high viral loads in the airways and detection of the virus in the blood. These different clinical profiles could depend on the quantitative and qualitative response of the innate immune system. At the early stage of a viral infection the innate immunity is capable of detecting certain conserved microbial patterns (PAMP, pathogen-associated molecular pattern) recognized by receptors dedicated to these patterns (PRR, pattern recognition receptor). This process allows to initiate the pro-inflammatory response via different signaling pathways. Activating multiprotein complexes called inflammasomes, which cause pro-IL-1β and pro-IL-18 to be transformed into active pro-inflammatory cytokines are one of these pathways. The central role of inflammasomes in the secretion of these pro-inflammatory cytokines deserves an in-depth study of their activation during COVID-19, whereas the inadequate inflammatory response appears to be the determining factor in the unfavorable development of patients. The objective of this project is to analyze the level of activation of the inflammasomes and then to search for inactivating or activating mutations among the genes which code for the proteins constituting the inflammasomes in Covid-19 patients. The identification of mutations in patients with a serious clinical presentation or even death would be followed by fundamental work by analyzing in a cellular model the impact of these mutations on the secretion of IL-1β.
