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.

In this monocentric, prospective and descriptive trial we want to evaluate the long-term consequences for patients treated for Covid-19. Covid patients who were hospitalized for min. 5 days either in a Covid-19 department or in intensive care unit will be followed-up for 8 weeks after hospital discharge. This is done via an innovative electronic platform in the home environment (UZA@home). On the one hand the quality of life, rehabilitation and reintegration of the patient will be evaluated and on the other hand the patient will be screened for various psychosocial aspects such as anxiety, depression and post-traumatic stress syndrome.

The spectrum of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) ranges from asymptomatic infection to acute respiratory distress syndrome ("ARDS") and patient death. Severely affected patients may develop a cytokine storm-like clinical syndrome with high mortality. Laboratory tests in these patients show an excessive and uncontrolled immune response with consecutive multi-organ failure. In addition, there is evidence for the development of prothrombotic autoantibodies as an epiphenomenon of "Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2" (SARS-CoV-2) infection. Therapeutic plasma exchange ("TPE") is being discussed as a therapeutic alternative in patients with severe, refractory COVID-19. The idea is that plasma exchange eliminates both endogenous and exogenous inducers of an exuberant inflammatory response as well as prothrombotic factors, thus breaking the secondary vicious circle of SARS-CoV-2 infection. In general, TPE is a safe procedure with known efficacy in other severe viral diseases as well as in cytokine storm-like diseases and ARDS of other geneses. Moreover, initial data, mostly derived from case studies, demonstrate promising therapeutic efficacy of TPE in severe COVID-19 courses with previously lacking treatment options. To further evaluate the therapeutic efficacy of TPE in severe COVID-19, a prospective randomized controlled trial of TPE in severe SARS-CoV-2 infection is being conducted at our center. Patients will be randomized to a control group (standard therapy according to center standards) and a therapy/intervention group (standard therapy + TPE).

This is an adaptive, randomized, double-blinded, placebo-controlled, Phase II/III study conducted to evaluate the effect of SCTA01 on participant survival and clinical efficacy in participants with severe COVID-19 admitted to high dependence or ICUs. The study duration of subject participation will be up to: 120 days Participants will receive a single intravenous (IV) infusion of SCTA01 at Treatment day 1. Follow up visits will be up to 120 days or early withdrawal visit.
Ataturk University
There is no prophylaxis for people at high risk of developing COVID-19. It is one of the first clinical studies aiming to investigate the effect of Anatolian Propolis against COVID-19. This study will test whether Anatolian propolis can be used to prevent the development of COVID-19 in people at risk of COVID-19. If Anatolian Propolis has been shown to reduce the risk of developing COVID-19 in people at high risk of infection, this could help reduce the morbidity and mortality of the COVID-19 outbreak. This study will be done in 2 centers. These centers are planned as Atatürk University Medical Faculty Emergency Medicine Clinic and Rize Recep Tayyip Erdoğan University Emergency Medicine Clinic. This work will be done entirely on a voluntary basis. The research subject will be explained to the healthcare professionals (doctor, nurse, medical secretary) working in both emergency medicine clinics and voluntary participation forms will be signed by the healthcare professionals who agree to participate in the study. Health workers who agree to participate in the study will be accepted as the study group, and healthcare professionals who do not agree to participate in the study will be accepted as the control group. The study group will be asked to take 20 drops of Propolis drop form twice a day in the morning / evening and the control group will not receive any treatment and both groups will be followed. In this process, patients diagnosed with COVID-19 will be determined.The study will cover a period of 1 month and at the end of 1 month, patients diagnosed with COVID-19 in the study and control groups will be compared. Thus, the protective properties of Anatolian propolis will be determined.

The objective of this research project is to scientifically evidence a pulmonary rehabilitation program that was initiated altruistically during the confinement of those patients who had suffered from COVID-19, through an online platform. Patients are connected telematically 3 times a week from April 6, 2020 to perform the physical therapy program. Due to the clinical improvements that have been referred by patients, they began to take objective data. Our goal is to know if a telematic respiratory therapy program in post-covid 19 patient, improves the level of anxiety, dyspnea on effort, improves quality of life and oxygenation.
Dokuz Eylul University
The study will be conducted in Dokuz Eylül University Hospital, COVID-19 (Coronavirus Disease 2019) intensive care unit. Three primary conditions will be sought for participants: 1. Cases whose treatment process resulted in death will be included in the study. 2. The cases must be confirmed with the diagnosis of COVID-19 by the RT-PCR (real time polymerase chain reaction) test. 3. The first-degree relatives must consent for the participation of the subjects in the study by their first-degree relatives. In the study, samples will be taken from the liver, kidney, lung, and heart. The samples will be stored in a protective solution and sent to the pathology unit. The examinations will determine the microscopic damage to these organs caused by COVID-19. Also, the presence of the SARS-CoV-2 (Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2) will be investigated by RT-PCR in tissues. The presence of ACE-2 (angiotensin converting enzyme 2) receptor and SARS-CoV-2 nucleoprotein antibody will be investigated by histochemical examination in tissues.

The respiratory isolation could have a harmful impact on the well-being of patients, especially in a psychological point of view such as anxiety and depression disorders or through the relationship with medical team and/or relatives but also in terms of informations. The evaluation of the impact of respiratory isolation in patients hospitalized for tuberculosis or COVID-19 could allow to identify the different kinds of problems encountered by these patients (physical, psychological, sociological, informations, ...) in order to adapt the environment for efficient care and to improve patient's well-being. The purpose of this research is to evaluate the psychological impact of the respiratory isolation on the quality of life in patients hospitalized for tuberculosis or COVID-19.

The Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) is a new coronavirus discovered in December 2019 in Wuhan, China and currently responsible of a worldwide outbreak and the death of more than 55,000 patients in France. The more severe form of COVID-19 disease induces a pneumonia with profound hypoxemia which may require invasive mechanical ventilation. It is estimated that 5% of COVID-19 patients are admitted to the Intensive Care Unit (ICU) for management. Hospital mortality in patients who develop severe acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) ranges between 40% and 60%. The investigators purpose to investigate the pathological findings of COVID-19 patients who died from ARDS in the ICU by doing post-mortem lung biopsies
