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.

There is an evidence gap in relation to the incidence, impact and severity of COVID-19 in newborn babies. International data are very limited, we have no robust estimates of incidence and no UK-based data with which to inform policy, clinical care, service delivery or advice to pregnant women. The research aims are to investigate the three mains ways in which COVID-19 might affect newborns and babies that need neonatal care: 1. Newborn babies might catch COVID-19 before, during or soon after birth and this may lead to problems with breathing or feeding that need support in hospital. 2. COVID-19 could affect babies that are already on neonatal units with other medical conditions (like being very premature) that place them at greater risk of severe COVID-19. 3. COVID-19 might affect that way that pregnant women are looked after in pregnancy, labour or bith which could lead to problems for some babies, even if they do not themselves become infected with COVID-19.

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 aim of this study is to investigate whether vaccination of healthcare professionals with VPM1002 could reduce the number of days absent from work due to respiratory disease (with or without documented SARS-CoV-2 infection). VPM1002 is a vaccine that is a further development of the old Bacillus Calmette-Guérin (BCG) vaccine, which has been used successfully as a vaccine against tuberculosis for about 100 years, especially in developing countries. VPM1002 has been shown in various clinical studies to be significantly safer than the BCG vaccine. VPM1002 strengthens the body's immune defence and vaccination with BCG reduces the frequency of respiratory diseases. It is therefore assumed that a VPM1002 vaccination could also provide (partial) protection against COVID-19 disease caused by the new corona virus "SARS-CoV 2". A total of 1200 health care professionals (doctors, nurses and paramedical staff) with high expected exposure to SARSCoV-2 infected patients will receive a single dose of either VPM1002 or Placebo. All subjects will be requested to enter data regarding absenteeism, adverse events / serious adverse events, hospitalizations, intensive care unit admissions into an online questionnaire.

The rapid spread of COVID-19 is expected to have a significant impact on medicine as well as all sectors worldwide. In particular, inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is a chronic immune disease in which remission and activation are repeated and must be treated consistently throughout life. In addition, patients with IBD may be vulnerable to various infectious diseases due to the immuno-compromised state due to the use of immuno-suppressants or biological agents. During a pandemic, patients with IBD may postpone hospital visits due to concerns about infection with COVID-19, and if they cannot continue drug treatment, there is a concern about the flare up IBD disease activity. Therefore, in this study, we would like to investigate the current status of hospital utilization of IBD patients in Daegu, the epidemic area of COVID-19, and to investigate the effect of patient perception of COVID-19 on hospital ultilization.

Coronavirus disease 2019 has forced worldwide the implementation of unprecedented restrictions to control its rapid spread and mitigate its impact. The Spanish government has enforced social distancing, quarantine and home confinement. This restriction of daily life activities and separation from loved ones may lead to social isolation and loneliness with health-related consequences in community-dwelling older adults with mild cognitive impairment or mild dementia and their caregivers. Additionally, an inadequate access to healthcare and social support services may aggravate chronic conditions. Technology home-based interventions emerge for combating social isolation and loneliness preventing the risk of viral exposure. The aim of this multicentre cohort study is to explore, analyze and determine the impact of social isolation on: 1) cognition, quality of life, mood, technophilia and perceived stress of community-dwelling older adults with mild cognitive impairment or mild dementia, and on caregiver burden; 2) health and social care services access and utilization, and 3) cognitive, social and entertainment use of ICTs. This study will be conducted in two Spanish regions Andalucía (Málaga) and Cataluña (Tarrasa). In total 200 dyads, consisting of a person with mild cognitive impairment or mild dementia (PMCI/MD) and their informal caregiver will be contacted by telephone. Potential respondents will be participants of the SMART 4 MD (N=100) and TV-AssistDem (N=100) clinical trials. The change in means in the variables will be analyzed comparing baseline results in the previous studies with those during and after confinement using the ANOVA test of repeated measures or the non-parametric Friedman test if appropriate. The performance of a multivariate analysis of variance (ANCOVA) to introduce possible covariates will also be contemplated. A 95% confidence level will be used.
