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.

The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic required a rapid surge of healthcare capacity to face a growing number of critically ill patients. For this reason, a support reserve of physicians, including surgeons, were required to be reassigned to offer support. Given the time shortage for trainers and trainees, time and cost-efficient programs to gain maximal benefit from short rotations for several physicians at one time are required 8. In case of pandemics, blending face-to-face education to e-learning seems sustainable, with online resources being scalable and more cost effective than other methods 9.

In the study, the researchers aim to investigate the impact of contact restrictions during the pandemic of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) caused by the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) on newborns and their parents. At the onset of this COVID-19 pandemic, contact restrictions in Germany were introduced on March 16th, 2020. These included, among others, the ban on visits to hospitals. This also applied to visits by fathers of newborn children. In many hospitals, fathers were allowed to accompany the mother in the delivery room for birth, but had to leave the hospital before the mother was being transferred to the ward. Fathers were not allowed to visit their wives and newborns until discharge several days later. The hypothesis of this study is that these contact restrictions have an influence on mother-infant interaction as well as on the psychological well-being of the parents. Furthermore, the investigators postulate that these restrictions additionally have a long-term effect on neonatal stress signaling pathways. For this purpose, children are studied, who were born during the period of strict contact restrictions from March, 16th to April, 30th, 2020. The children will be assessed at about six months of age.

The COVID-19 pandemic has highlighted deleterious US health inequities. Specifically, African Americans, Latinos, and Native Americans have and continue to shoulder a greater burden of COVID-19 infections and deaths in the US. In addition to existing racial and ethnic disparities are rural health and regional disparities. Given the disproportionate impact of disease in US communities of color and also in rural and southern regions of the US, there is no doubt that these at-risk subgroups will continue to experience higher rates of coronavirus-related mortality as well as other long-term health outcomes as compared to other US populations. It is unknown how healthcare providers and other key at-risk subgroups within the US will receive COVID-19 vaccines. For success in immunizations, the US will need to reach their most at-risk and vulnerable populations. In addition to at-risk populations, a successful immunization strategy will involve engaging providers to support clear, consistent, and strong vaccine recommendation. It is critical to build vaccine trust, confidence, and overall acceptance of COVID-19 vaccines among healthcare providers and key at-risk subgroups, especially given the accelerated production timeline of these vaccines. Likewise, tailored vaccine messaging for key subgroups is vital in achieving vaccine confidence and trust. The proposed study will explore perceptions, confidence, trust, and uptake of potential COVID-19 vaccines among healthcare providers (nurses and doctors) and key at-risk population subgroups (minority populations living in the rural south) and will develop and test vaccine messaging that boosts vaccine confidence and trust among these key at-risk subgroups.

Background - A novel coronavirus, severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), was first identified in December 2019 as the cause of a respiratory illness COVID-19 in Wuhan City, China. WHO declared a public health emergency outbreak of this virus on 30 January 2020 and declared COVID-19 a global pandemic on 11 March, 2020. Bangladesh reported its first case on March 8, 2020 and first fatality on April 1, 2020. Bangladesh had shown a staggered course of COVID-19 transmission initially but a surge in cases was observed from April, 2020. Remdesivir remains as the only potential therapy for the treatment of COVID-19 till date. Based on several pre-clinical studies in SARS-CoV and MERS-CoV infections, Animal trials in COVID-19 and data from human trials, this randomized, controlled, open label trial will evaluate the antiviral activity and safety of Remdesivir in Bangladeshi hospitalized patients with severe COVID-19. This study finding will provide knowledge if Remdesivir is effective enough to treat Bangladeshi COVID-19 hospitalized patients with adequate safety and tolerability. The result of this study will help the key opinion leaders regarding the matter, to take appropriate decision regarding usage of Remdesivir for the treatment of COVID-19 in Bangladesh. Study Procedure - All patients will receive the standard medical care for COVID-19+ve at the respective hospitals. Vital signs will be recorded every 24 hrs for 1st 5 days then once in 2 days till discharge or as per the discretion of the attending physicians. After screening the COVID-19 confirmed patients will be randomized into 2 treatment arms. Patient's safety assessment e. g. blood parameters (CBC, Creatinine, SGPT, RBS, Creatinine, Creatinine Clearance) will be done on screening, day 5 and day 14 or discharge; Chest X-ray and ECG on screening and day 14 or discharge. SARS-CoV-2 (viral load) will be looked in on day 5, day 10 and day 14 or at the time of discharge. In case any study patient deteriorates during the study period will be managed as per the guideline of that particular hospital and if needed will be shifted to ICU. Patients who will recover will be discharged as per the national guideline for the COVID-19 hospitalized patients. Patients will be contacted at 28 days either over phone or in person to get their health status since discharge.

According to different projections, the COVID-19 outbreak currently happening in France and worldwide could result in millions of deaths in the absence of efficient therapies. The COVID-19 causative agent, the SARS-CoV-2, is a virus leading to respiratory system infections in human and for which there is currently no vaccine or treatment scientifically validated in clinical studies. In that context, therapeutic human neutralizing antibodies targeting the SARS-CoV-2 envelop glycoproteins and which enable inhibition of the viral replication represent an innovative therapeutic alternative with great potential. These antibodies are also critical tools for vaccine development. Simultaneously, CHUGA researchers coordinate with each other to set up a collective biological collection to achieve others objectives such as biomarkers identifications.

The hypothesis is that from a cluster defined by a confirmed positive case of COVID-19 and its contact cases, it is possible to study the different expressions and clinical evolutions of COVID-19 infection and to explore the biological profiles related to the observed clinical history. Certain biological determinants (virological, immunological, microbological or gentic) could indeed be correlated with the clinical presentation and/or be useful for personalized care. The main objective is to study the relationship between the biological profiles observed and the clinical evolutions within the same cluster of transmission of the coronavirus SARS-CoV-2 (positive COVID-19 cases and contact subjects).

Abstract Title: Randomized,open-label, controlled trial to evaluate efficacy and safety of a highly selective semipermeable membrane (AN69-Oxiris) in comparison with a selective semipermeable membrane ( standard AN69) in COVID-19 associated acute kidney injury: oXAKI-COV study Rationale: Acute kidney injury (AKI) in critically ill mechanically ventilated patients with COVID-19 disease, is present in up to 30% of this group and more than 50% of them will need renal replacement therapy in the form of continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT). Acute kidney injury in this context seems to be a marker of multiorgan dysfunction and it produces increased mortality in this population. There is a vast amount of mechanisms that lead to AKI in critically ill patients with COVID-19; however, the cytokine storm could be the strongest mechanism implicated in AKI development in individuals with continuous renal replacement therapy requirements. Therefore, blocking or reducing the cytokine storm is thought to be a therapeutic target. Highly selective semipermeable membranes (AN69-Oxiris) have been shown able to adsorb endotoxins and to eliminate inflammatory cytokines, thus representing a valuable therapeutic option in this infection. Objective: To demonstrate clinical efficacy of AN69-Oxiris membrane to reach a stable MAP, with less vasopressor dosing (at least 0.1 micrograms/kg/min) after 72h of treatment, compared to a conventional membrane (standard AN69) in critically ill patients with AKI, COVID-19 infection and requirement of continuous renal replacement therapy. Study design: Randomized,open-label, controlled trial in critically ill patients with suspected or confirmed COVID-19 disease, AKI, and criteria for continuous renal replacement therapy initiation admitted in any of the two participating institutions. Patients meeting inclusion criteria will be randomized to receive CRRT with AN69-Oxiris membrane or standard AN69 membrane during a 72h period.

Virgin Coconut Oil (VCO) contains multiple compounds which have antibacterial, antiviral, and immunomodulatory properties. The role of VCO as an antivirus to treat COVID-19 requires further studies. A previous study has investigated the used of 30 ml of VCO to healthy volunteers for a month and reported no side effect. Here the investigators conduct a pilot trial to investigate the effect of VCO towards the clinical outcomes of COVID-19 patients in Indonesia.
