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.

This study will collect data on physical activity, food consumption, stress, sleep, and alcohol consumption habits both before and after the national emergency for COVID-19 was put into place. This will help identify the health behavior changes taking place due to the COVID-19 pandemic in the United States. Data on past and current health behaviors will be self-reported by participants via a single online survey. The retrospective health behavior questions will be the same quantitative questions as the current health behavior questions so a direct comparison can be made. There will be a couple qualitative questions to assess what each participant feels are the greatest barriers or impacts to their current health behaviors. Participants will be recruited via convenient sampling. Data collected in this study will show a decline in at least one healthy behavior after the United States national emergency for COVID-19.

It might be necessary with Sars-Cov2 pneumopathy patient to repeat thoracic images, the tomodensitometry ones in particular. This task is difficult and nearly impossible for several reasons: respiratory and hemodynamic unstable patient, prone position and due to the high contagious nature of the disease. The lung ultrasound is an easy tool, fast (between 5 and 10 minutes) and as a limited training. In the context of the Sars-Cov2 epidemic, Buonsenso and al case report depict the first lung ultrasound for a Covid 19 patient. Peng and al in Intensive Care Medicine accentuate the usefulness of this particular technic. In the American Journal of Respiratory and Critical Care Medicine, a study has been published as a point-of-care, in which the doctors reported using the lung ultrasound with intensive and critical care patient. In Critical Care 2016, it has been showed that ultrasound allowed with neat precisions, to predict severe ARDS patient response to the prone position, all-cause. Another researchers team found a good correlation between lung ultrasound, the SOFA, APACHE II, CPIS score, and patient mortality. And a new applicability in the pulmonary recruitment by PEEP titration has been presented. The aim of this study is to evaluate the lung ultrasound in Covid19 ARDS.

Most patients undergoing a cardiovascular procedure need an ICU-bed during the hospitalization and therefore it is possible that for the unforeseen future, because of the Covid-19 crisis, many patients will stay on the waiting list for many months to come. There are some studies showing an increased mortality associated with an increased waiting time for the patients on the waiting list for an elective cardiac surgery. However, there is no data on the evolution of the morbidity, the quality of life and the symptomatology of the patients waiting for an elective operation. Also it is not clear whether the period of waiting for an elective cardiovascular operation would impact the morbidity or the mortality of the planned operation at later stage. Furthermore, there is a plethora of studies on risk factors associated with the perioperative morbidity and mortality in general. Therefore, the rationale of the current study is to evaluate whether Digital Cardiac Counseling (DCC) would improve outcomes of the patients waiting for an elective cardiac operation. At the DCC platform, there will be assessments of cardiovascular symptoms, Covid-19 prevention for cardiovascular patients, smoking cessation, anxiety relief, exercise stimulation, pulmonary rehabilitation and diet adjustments. This will be done by means of questionnaires and E-consults.

TACTIC-E is a randomised, parallel arm, open-label platform trial for investigating potential treatments for COVID-19 disease. While SARS-CoV infection evades detection by the immune system in the first 24 hours of infection, it ultimately produces a massive immune system response in the subgroup of people who develop severe complications. Most tissue damage following infection with COVID-19 appears to be due to a later, exaggerated, host immune response (Gralinski and Baric 2015). This leads to lung and sometimes multi-organ damage. Most people who develop these severe complications still have virus present in their respiratory tract at the time-point when the disease starts to evolve. Immune modulation in the presence of active infection has potential to cause more harm than benefit. Safety considerations when studying immune modulation strategies are paramount. This study will assess the efficacy of a novel immunomodulatory agent and a novel combination of approved agents which may protect the patient against end-organ damage and modulate the pulmonary vascular response. This study will compare the novel therapeutic agent EDP1815 and a novel combination of the approved agents dapagliflozin and ambrisentan against Standard of Care.

Radiotherapy in low doses (30 to 100 cGy) was a popular treatment of viral pneumonias until 1940s. Low dose radiation therapy (LDRT) could possibly reduce the inflammation and prevent the cytokine storm thus mitigating the severity of pneumonitis. This is a single arm study designed to assess the feasibility and clinical efficacy of low dose radiation therapy (70 cGy in single fraction) in the patients with COVID-19 pneumonia. A total of 10 eligible patients (as per inclusion criteria) will be recruited and response will be assessed based on the symptomatic improvement or deterioration by using the National Early Warning Score (NEWS). The NEWS score will be recorded on baseline and then on Day 3, Day 7 and Day 14.
ProofPilot
Radish Health and ProofPilot in coordination with Sanesco are running this study to help establish whether the Premier Biotech COVID-19 IgG/IgM Rapid Test Cassette (Whole Blood/Serum/Plasma Authorized for distribution under emergency use authorization - though not yet FDA reviewed) can be conducted effectively at home to detect COVID-19 antibodies among individuals who have tested positive, or suspect they have previous contracted from COVID-19 and recovered. The study also aims to examine how the results of those tests change social-distancing behaviors and general anxiety over 8 weeks post-test.

Prone position (PP) has been proved to be effective in severe ARDS patients. On the other hand, High flow nasal cannula (HFNC) may prevent intubation in hypoxemic Acute respiratory failure (ARF) patients. Our hypothesis is that the combination of PP and HFNC in patients with COVID19 induced ARDS may decrease the need of mechanical ventilation. Primary outcome: Therapeutic failure within 28 days of randomization (death or intubation). Secondary outcomes: to analyze PP feasibility and safety in HFNC patients and to analyze effectiveness in terms of oxygenation. Methods: multicentric randomized study including patients with COVID19 induced ARDS supported with HFNC. Experimental group will received HFNC and PP whereas observation group will received standard care. Optimization of non-invasive respiratory management of COVID19 induced ARDS patients may decrease the need of invasive mechanical ventilation and subsequently ICU and hospital length of stay.
