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.

A pneumonia of unknown cause detected in Wuhan, China was first reported to the WHO Country Office in China on 31 December 2019. The outbreak was declared a Public Health Emergency of International Concern on 30 January 2020. The spread and severity of the disease is variable from one country to another. Our team as well as many reports suggested that in some countries a " Flu like illness but much worse" was described in October, November and early in December before the WHO announcement. Was it COVID-19?

The aim of the study is to demonstrate overactivation of Renin Angiotensine System (RAS) in positives COVID-19 patient, especially in those with the most serious clinical forms where the mortality of patients in intensive care is on average 50%. We are expecting two groups: a group of 25 positive COVID 19 patients in intensive care and a group of 25 positive COVID 19 hospitalized patients in conventional hospitalisation. We will measure RAS, serum potassium and collect data on the treatment of these patients (especially antihypertensive therapy) one week apart (at the patient'entry into hospital and 7 days later). This is a preliminary study that could possibly allow the start of a therapeutic trial in order to test the effectiveness of RAS blocker treatments in this condition.

There are many scales for screening or assessing the impact of a disease. These scales are generally used to diagnose or assess the severity of a disease and are carried out at the request of a physician by the patient. Conversational agents could make it possible to administer these questionnaires remotely, analyse them and use the results on a large scale, without prior medical intervention. The main objective of this study is to quantify and qualify the distress of a large population in times of pandemic crisis.

Documentation of all patients undergoing inpatient treatment for SARS-CoV-2 infection with regard to clinical status at admission, medical history, inpatient treatment and course of disease. The aim is to create a risk stratification of the infection on the basis of clinical data as well as therapy and disease progression of the patients. This may also contribute to a better planning of resources.

In December 2019, new coronavirus pneumonia (COVID-19) erupted in Wuhan (Hubei, China) and quickly spread from a single city to the entire country in just 30 days and then attracted worldwide attention. COVID-19 causes a large number of deaths due to its occurrence in many cases. This virus caused a total of 549,461 approved cases and 24,887 deaths worldwide. All the countries of the world take some precautions to prevent the spread of this epidemic disease, which WHO declared it as "pandemic". Staying home and social isolation are at the top of these precautions. For this purpose, in Turkey on March 21, 2020, '65 and older individuals began to apply the curfew to individuals with chronic illnesses. However, not leaving the house and social isolation brings with it the limitation of physical activity. Physical activity (PA) is defined by WHO as any bodily movement produced by the contraction of skeletal muscles that increases energy consumption. Recommended PA levels for the elderly (≥65 years) are similar to adults (18 to 64 years old). At the global level, approximately 45% of people over the age of 60 do not meet the recommended level of PA. Studies investigating the relationship between social isolation and health behavior report consistent findings. Individuals with smaller social networks report less healthy diets, excessive alcohol consumption, and less physical activity. The effects of social isolation are related to physical inactivity, smoking and the possibility of having both health risk behaviors together. The decrease in physical performance is associated with the risk of falling, sarcopenia, fragility, decreased quality of life, emotionalization, comorbidity, early death, and increased health care costs. Practical and innovative interventions are needed to reduce the decline in muscle mass, strength and physical performance in the aging population. When today's conditions are evaluated, technology-supported education programs are effective in increasing the motivation for physical activity. The purpose of this study; to evaluate the physical activity level of individuals over the age of 65 who experience social isolation due to the precautions taken in our country to prevent the spread of the COVID-19 pandemic, and to investigate the effectiveness of home-based telerehabilitation exercises. It is aimed to use an innovative model based on the digitally supported, home-based exercise program.

The novel coronavirus SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19) is an emerging respiratory virus that causes pneumonia. WHO data reported admission to the intensive care unit (ICU) for 6% of patients, with a mortality rate reaching 45%. To date, apart from therapeutic trials, ICU management is symptomatic, based on organ failure support therapies. In the initial phase, the therapeutic management also includes empiric antimicrobial therapy (90% of patients, in accordance with LRTI guidelines (ATS 2019) and SRLF Guidelines (2020). One challenge for the ICU physicians is the timing for discontinuation of antimicrobial treatment, especially in case of shock or ARDS, considering that a substantial proportion of COVID-19 pneumonia patients may have pulmonary bacterial coinfection/superinfection. In order to avoid unnecessary prolonged antimicrobial therapy, and subsequent selective pressure, two tests could be combined in a personalized antibiotic strategy: - Procalcitonin (PCT): PCT is a useful tool to guide antibiotics discontinuation in community-acquired pneumonia) and viral pneumonia (PMID24612487). - Respiratory multiplex PCR FA-PPP (Biomérieux®): panel has been enlarged, including 8 viruses and 18 bacteria (quantitative analysis). The turnaround time is short. Sensitivity is high (99%, PMID32179139). It may contribute, in combination with conventional tests, to accelerate and improve the microbiological diagnosis during severe COVID-19 pneumonia. The hypothesize of the study is that the combination of the mPCR FA-PPP and PCT could be used to reduce antibiotics exposure in patients with severe confirmed COVID-19 pneumonia, with a higher clinical efficacy and safety as compared with a conventional strategy.
