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.
Search Tips
To search this directory, simply type a drug name, condition, company name, location, or other term of your choice into the search bar and click SEARCH. For broadest results, type the terms without quotation marks; to narrow your search to an exact match, put your terms in quotation marks (e.g., “acute respiratory distress syndrome” or “ARDS”). You may opt to further streamline your search by using the Status of the study and Intervention Type options. Simply click one or more of those boxes to refine your search.

Morbidity, mortality and progress depends on systemic inflammation especially in ARDS patients. Previous studies claims that the proportion of mean platellet volume to platellet which can simply be determined with simple blood tests that are performed at admission, might predict the mortality in ARDS patients. Covid-19 pneumonia has a very similar clinical outlook with ARDS. Therefore we decided to research whether that proportion is legitimate for detecting the progress of Covid-19 pneumonia or not.

Randomized, Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled, Parallel-Group, Multi-Centre Phase II/III Adaptive Clinical Trial to Assess the Safety and Immunogenicity of Gam-COVID-Vac Combined Vector Vaccine for SARS-Сov-2 Infection in Indian Healthy Subjects.

Overweight or obese patients are particularly exposed to severe forms of COVID-19. Few data suggest that adipose tissue infected with SARS-CoV-2 could be involved in the onset of the cytokine storm seen in severe forms of COVID-19. The aim of this study is to determine the pathogenesis of SARS-CoV-2-infection of adipose tissue. In particular the investigators will study how this virus enters the adipocyte and how it modulates metabolism and inflammation in the adipose tissue. From these data, the investigators hope to determine at the adipose tissue level, original therapeutic targets to modulate the effects of SARS-CoV-2 at the systemic level.

exercise activity during the COVID pandemic is appreciated to be conducted in home especially for chronic chest diseases as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) to reduce the chance of viral contamination during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Northwestern University
This is a single-center, randomized double blind placebo controlled trial to evaluate the efficacy and safety of novel PAI-1 inhibitor (TM5614) for high-risk patients hospitalized with severe COVID-19 at Northwestern Memorial Hospital. The patients will be randomized in a 1:1 ratio to receive standard of care plus TM5614 or standard of care plus placebo.

Worldwide, the COVID-19 pandemic continues to grow. Although COVID-19 mainly affects the lungs and internal organs, musculoskeletal injury from this disease was reported with the presentation of marked elevation in creatine kinase and lactate dehydrogenase levels. Patients with post-acute COVID-19 are considered patients with a post-intensive syndrome (PICS) that results in loss of functional independence. In the physical and rehabilitation medical field, various modalities with therapeutic exercise can be used to manage pain by a physical therapist and psychiatrist. Pain management is particularly important during the COVID-19 pandemic because of the reduced accessibility to hospitals and medical resources.

Although management of acute hypoxemic respiratory failure associated with coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) often includes mechanical ventilation, the optimal timing of initiation of invasive mechanical ventilation remains unknown. We hypothesise that a randomized controlled trial comparing early intubation as opposed to delayed intubation among patients with COVID-19 suffering from severe acute hypoxemic respiratory failure is feasible.

Clinical Role of Testosterone and Dihydrotestosterone and which of them should be inhibited in COVID-19 patients - A double-edged sword? COVID-19 attacks and affects Males significantly more than females [1], [2]. Males with COVID-19 are reported to die at twice the rate of females when they come infected with the virus [3]. The upregulation of TMPRSS2 by androgens could explain the increased susceptibility to COVID-19 in men.Contrary to expected, as a study demonstrated that The expression level of TMPRSS2 increased 6-fold in androgen stimulated LNCaP cells, relative to androgen-deprived cells[4]. But, surprisingly, low levels of testosterone led to the over expression and upregulation of ACE2 and TMPRSS2 receptors, facilitating SARS-CoV-1 entry into the alveolar cells, and deregulating a lung-protective pathway [5].According to literature Dihydrotestosterone is many times more potent than testosterone, and many of the effects that testosterone has in the body only happen after it is converted to dihydrotestosterone [6]. Therefore, we hypothesis that testosterone has better effect than dihydrotestosterone in case of COVID-19, because a study found that DHT significantly induced the expression of TMPRSS2 [7]. And at the same time , decreased testosterone levels in critically diseased males harmfully affect pulmonary endothelial cell functioning, impair the ability to clear the virus , promote systemic . Obesity among males, promote defective immune response, , and also generates more pro-inflammatory cytokines important in cell signaling, emanating in increased, severe disease, worst outcome and vulnerability. Insufficient serum testosterone level is a poor prognostic indicator for patients infected with COVID-19 by downregulation pulmonary protective pathways [5], [8]. On the contrary, high testosterone levels can lead to complication of thrombosis which is also one of the serious manifestations in COVID-19 patients[9]. Thereby we hypothesize that decreased testosterone levels in men have a direct relation with the severity of infection and a worse outcome in COVID-19. In this case we should found an appropriate treatment that induces testosterone level to introduce its protective effect and up regulate pulmonary protective pathways and at the same time protect against thrombosis and works to reduce the impact of dihydrotestosterone on lung cells preventing up regulation of TMPRSS2, Her we shed new light on the appropriate treatment can overcome the challenges that face testosterone therapy in the era of COVID-19 After searching MEDLINE , PubMed, , Google Scholar, preprints and Controlled Trials until September , 2020 we found that the appropriate treatment in this case is aerosolized 13 cis retinoic acid in combination with testosterone therapy, as more than one study found that 13 cis retinoic acid reversibly and potentially inhibit the effect of dihydrotestosterone on different targeted cells. In addition its impact on thrombin.
