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.

It is known that COVID-19 has a more negative clinical course and causes higher degrees of morbidity and mortality in case of COVID-19 in diabetic patients. However, the contribution of COVID-19 to hyperglycemia and its effect on glycemic parameters are uncertain. However, it is important to investigate homocysteine and lipid profile levels, respectively, and free radical levels known to be effective in the development of cardiovascular disease and diabetes due to oxidative stress, which can provide information about the identification and diagnosis of cardiovascular complications in the COVID-19 pandemic. In addition, as the decrease in physical activity levels of individuals in the COVID-19 pandemic may cause possible secondary complications such as an increase in the risk of cardiovascular disease, determining the physical activity levels of individuals and encouraging them to physical activity is another important parameter to minimize the negative effects of the process. Patients who applied to Izmir Bakircay University Cigli Training and Research Hospital (Cigli Regional Education Hospital) and hospitalized in the COVID-19 service and healthy controls are planning to include in this study. Patients diagnosed with COVID-19 will be included in Group I (n: 20), patients diagnosed with both Type II Diabetes Mellitus and COVID-19 will be included in Group II (n: 20) and healthy controls will be included in Group III (n:20). Hemoglobin A1c levels, lipid profiles, homocysteine, free radical levels and physical activity levels will be compared between groups. In addition, the change in the relevant variables before and after COVID-19 treatment will be determined by in-group comparisons in Group I and Group II. This study, which has a prospective and randomized controlled research plan, is planned to be carried out between January and February 2021. Research data will be obtained from blood samples taken from participants. In addition, data on physical activity levels will be collected through a questionnaire. After analyzing the data obtained from the research with appropriate statistical methods, the data will be evaluated.

COVID-19 has affected almost all countries in the world. Every other country is constantly working towards its treatment and development of vaccines, with little to no success so far. Recently, several regimens have been tried as antiviral medicine. Among these medicines, Favipiravir is considered a broad-spectrum antiviral with the spectrum of activity noted against a wide range of RNA viruses & a good oral antiviral drug with > 97% bioavailability. It has already proved its safety profile as it has received FDA indication for drug-resistant Influenza. There has been increasing evidence of favorable outcome against COVID-19 in terms of early viral clearance & quicker symptomatic relief however, most of these studies lack strong statistical significance & are not peer-reviewed. Subjects will be categorized into two arms based on the severity of infection due to COVID-19 defined by NMC guidelines. Each arm will have respective two groups as the study drug group and control group. Based on the sample size calculation, subjects will be stratified & randomly enrolled in the study after checking the eligibility criteria at the screening visit. About 276 mild patients will be recruited for this trial and 400 moderate patients (including 10% loss ). Study arm groups will receive a Favipiravir treatment of 1800 mg PO BID on day 1, then 800 mg PO BID from day 2 onwards and control groups will receive the same quantity of Placebo. Treatment will be continued till 5 days after for mild groups and 10 days for moderate groups. Eligible patients will be randomly assigned (1:1) to either Favipiravir or Placebo among mild cases; and Favipiravir or Remdesivir among moderate cases. Randomization will be stratified by age group (18 to 40 years, 40 to 60 years and 60 to 80 years) and co-morbidity. The permuted block (30 patients per block) randomization sequence, including stratification, will be prepared by a statistician using STATA-15 software. Eligible patients will be allocated to the respective arm and will receive individually numbered packs, according to the sequence order as informed by the hotline. Informed written consent will be taken from the participants before commencing the study. All safety data, patient's baseline, clinical outcome data, data from endpoints and variables should be reported by the clinician and his/her team in a pre-instructed case report form (CRF) via a designated website. It is our assumption that if the study results come favorable, Favipiravir, when used in mild or moderate cases, might prevent progression of the disease to higher severity, helps achieve viral clearance early so as to positively impact disease transmission in the community, increase the quality of life by quicker symptom recovery & decrease health burden by shortening the length of stay at the hospital. These findings can also be useful in international scenarios where the world is looking for innovative measures to curb COVID-19 infection. The study findings will be disseminated within and outside the country and will be published in peer-reviewed journals.
IRCCS San Raffaele
This retrospective-prospective longitudinal observational study was designed to evaluate the role of bedside lung ultrasound per se and in association with hemogasanalysis parameters in predicting the severity of COVID-19 patients in the Emergency Departement (ED). Retrospective data regarding patients who presented at the ED of IRCCS San Raffaele Hospital from 10/11/2020, together with those acquired by the observation of patients who will access to the ED until 10/05/2021 will be collected, configuring a total enrollment period of 6 months. Clinical informations about patients' medical history will be recorded, with particular focus on the type and date of onset of the symptoms. The diagnostic and therapeutic strategy will be chosen according to the current standard of care. Results of bedside lung ultrasound, together with vital parameters, blood gas analysis, laboratory and other findings will be recorded. The primary outcome will be defined as patients' outcome at time of discharge from the ED, in terms of intensity of required care (home discharge, low or high-intensity care hospitalization, death). Secondary outcomes will be patients' prognosis 30 days after access to ED and the required intensity of care (eg need for non-invasive ventilation, oro-tracheal intubation).The follow-up 30 days after access to the ED will be evaluated by telephone survey or by consulting medical records.

In this monocentric, prospective and descriptive trial we want to evaluate the long-term consequences for patients treated for Covid-19. Covid patients who were hospitalized for min. 5 days either in a Covid-19 department or in intensive care unit will be followed-up for 8 weeks after hospital discharge. This is done via an innovative electronic platform in the home environment (UZA@home). On the one hand the quality of life, rehabilitation and reintegration of the patient will be evaluated and on the other hand the patient will be screened for various psychosocial aspects such as anxiety, depression and post-traumatic stress syndrome.

Coronavirus disease-19 is global healthcare crisis. Till May 20, 2020, there were approximately 4,789,205 cases and 318,789 related mortalities were identified globally. This dramatic situation led to healthcare service collapse in many countries. Each country developed its own action plan depending on healthcare expertise and the available resources. There is no definitive therapy for Coronavirus disease-19 up till now. Many current and investigational drugs are used nowadays. Recent reports suggest a beneficial role of Ivermectin in the management of Coronavirus disease-19. A notice that necessitates further clinical studies. The aim of this study is to assess the efficacy and safety of the usage of inhaled ivermectin in the management of Coronavirus disease-19.
Ataturk University
There is no prophylaxis for people at high risk of developing COVID-19. It is one of the first clinical studies aiming to investigate the effect of Anatolian Propolis against COVID-19. This study will test whether Anatolian propolis can be used to prevent the development of COVID-19 in people at risk of COVID-19. If Anatolian Propolis has been shown to reduce the risk of developing COVID-19 in people at high risk of infection, this could help reduce the morbidity and mortality of the COVID-19 outbreak. This study will be done in 2 centers. These centers are planned as Atatürk University Medical Faculty Emergency Medicine Clinic and Rize Recep Tayyip Erdoğan University Emergency Medicine Clinic. This work will be done entirely on a voluntary basis. The research subject will be explained to the healthcare professionals (doctor, nurse, medical secretary) working in both emergency medicine clinics and voluntary participation forms will be signed by the healthcare professionals who agree to participate in the study. Health workers who agree to participate in the study will be accepted as the study group, and healthcare professionals who do not agree to participate in the study will be accepted as the control group. The study group will be asked to take 20 drops of Propolis drop form twice a day in the morning / evening and the control group will not receive any treatment and both groups will be followed. In this process, patients diagnosed with COVID-19 will be determined.The study will cover a period of 1 month and at the end of 1 month, patients diagnosed with COVID-19 in the study and control groups will be compared. Thus, the protective properties of Anatolian propolis will be determined.

Dokuz Eylul University
The study will be conducted in Dokuz Eylül University Hospital, COVID-19 (Coronavirus Disease 2019) intensive care unit. Three primary conditions will be sought for participants: 1. Cases whose treatment process resulted in death will be included in the study. 2. The cases must be confirmed with the diagnosis of COVID-19 by the RT-PCR (real time polymerase chain reaction) test. 3. The first-degree relatives must consent for the participation of the subjects in the study by their first-degree relatives. In the study, samples will be taken from the liver, kidney, lung, and heart. The samples will be stored in a protective solution and sent to the pathology unit. The examinations will determine the microscopic damage to these organs caused by COVID-19. Also, the presence of the SARS-CoV-2 (Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2) will be investigated by RT-PCR in tissues. The presence of ACE-2 (angiotensin converting enzyme 2) receptor and SARS-CoV-2 nucleoprotein antibody will be investigated by histochemical examination in tissues.
