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.

Hypothesis: The apelin/APJ system is involved in the protection of the lung affected by the COVID-19 by interacting with the SARS-coV-2 entry door: the Angiotensin I Converting Enzyme 2 (ACE2) and the renin-angiotensin system (ras). Elevated systemic levels of apelins and ACE2 activity are associated to less critical forms of COVID-19 and characterized by less pulmonary hyperpermeability and inflammation. Goals: Main: In COVID-19+ patients, to establish the basic knowledge of 1) apelins and related systems (ras and degradation enzymes, of which ACE2) pheno-dynamic profile in bloodstream, 2) pulmonary hyperpermeability profile by biomarker's assessment i) comparison of SARS vs. lesser COVID-19 respiratory injury, and with non COVID-19 ARDS and non ARDS acute respiratory condition. Secondary: To set up links between basic and progressive clinical data (data collection system APEL-COVID).

Medical personnel working in the Intensive Care Unit will be examined by means of tests. Their aim is to check how work-related stress in a potentially lethal threat affects the occurrence of depression, stress, anxiety and sleep disorders. We also want to check whether people working in such extremely difficult conditions show no greater interest in death.

This is a multicenter, randomized, open-label, controlled trial to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of Rhea Health Tone® as add-on therapy in hospitalized adults with COVID-19. The study is a multi-center trial that will be conducted in up to approximately 2 sites nationally. New sites may be added as needed after appropriate assessment. Interim monitoring will be conducted to evaluate the arms and for safety and effectiveness. Any change would be accompanied by updated sample size. Subjects will be assessed while hospitalized. All subjects will undergo a series of laboratory (inflammatory biomarkers (IL-6, hs-CRP, IFNγ), SGOT, SGPT and Creatinine, conversion rate by PCR, QTc prolongation by ECG, chest X-ray), clinical (clinical assessment, vital sign, concomitant medication, other medical conditions) and safety assessment (serious adverse event). Randomization will be performed 1:1 for each arm. Arm 1 = Standard of Care (SoC) alone, arm 2 = SoC + Rhea Health Tone®.
Spartan Bioscience Inc.
This multicentre prospective study will enroll a sufficient number of patients to afford approximately 30 positives and > 30 negatives (as determined by the SOC - Comparator method) in the United States and/or Canada. One to three sites in the Canada will participate over an approximate 6-week enrolment period. The actual enrolment period will be dependent upon prevalence of Covid-19, and site set up. Once positives sample size is achieved, expected SARC-CoV-2 negative subjects will be permitted. Once subjects are consented and recruited for the study, up to three (3) study-specific nasopharyngeal samples for each patient will be collected by trained operators at the clinical site: a single SOC swab, and two (2) Spartan swabs where the second swab is optional and used when the first Spartan swab test does not produce a positive or negative result ("inconclusive"). The first swab sample will be tested at the clinical site according to standard of care protocols currently in place for the sites' nasopharyngeal swab-based SARS-CoV-2 RT-PCR testing. The second nasopharyngeal sample will be tested at the site using the Spartan COVID-19 v2 System. A third, optional nasopharyngeal sample, if collected, will be tested using the Spartan COVID-19 v2 System only when the test conducted with the second nasopharyngeal swab does not produce a positive or negative result.

Project is designed as a comprehensive population-based epidemiological study in Upper-Silesian Conurbation (Poland) aiming at: 1. analysis of available data on incidence and mortality due to COVID-19 and 2. estimation of the occurrence of viral infection SARS-CoV-2 as revealed by the results of serological test (ELISA: IgM, IgG), with assessment of risk factors. The project's objectives are: to assess incidence and mortality due COVID-19 according to sex, age and coexisting diseases; to determine the level of potential "underdiagnosis" of the magnitude of COVID-19 mortality using vital statistics data for Upper-Silesian Conurbation; to assess the prevalence of SARS-CoV-2 based on the level of seropositivity in Upper-Silesian Conurbation; to identify host-related and environmental risk factors if the infection. Analysis of existing data will include monthly records on incidence and mortality over the period 01.01.2020-31.12.2020 and comparison of the findings with the monthly records of 2018 and 2019, for the same population. Cross-sectional epidemiological study will be located in three towne (Katowice, Sosnowiec, Gliwice). In each town a representative age-stratified sample of 2000 subjects will undergo questionnaire assessment and serological examination performed by serological test. The project corresponds with analogous population-based studies on COVID-19 in a number of countries and responds to the WHO recommendation in that field.

The 2019 coronavirus-induced infection (COVID-19) has caused a pandemic that has spread worldwide. Up to date, many subjects affected by the virus report important sequelae on different organs increasing morbidity and exacerbating previous pathological conditions. Mortality is also increased in cases of comorbidities such as cardiovascular disease, hypertension and diabetes. COVID-19 infection is caused by Coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2). Concerning the specific interaction of SARS-CoV-2 with the cardiovascular system, we know that this virus enters the body through the receptors for the conversion of angiotensin II (ACE2r) that are present in the lungs, heart, intestinal epithelium and vascular endothelium. This receptor's availability suggests a multi-organ involvement with a consequent multi-organ dysfunction, as found in patients affected by SARS-CoV-2 infection. Furthermore, poor vascular peripheral function -usually correlated with old age and long periods of bed rest or hypomobility- is a distinguishing characteristic of the population affected by COVID-19, as well. Thus, it is reasonable to expect that peripheral vascular function, already deteriorated by aging and common age-related diseases, can be further compromised by COVID-19 and by the forced hypomobility, typically experienced during the acute phase of the disease. The main aim of this project will be to investigate the peripheral NO-mediated vascular function in the leg of patients recovering from Covid-19 pneumonia. A significant vascular dysfunction is expected to be found in post COVID individuals and to be correlated to the relevant clinical variables.

Different studies showed that acetyl L-Carnitine (LC) positively affects the development and maturation of T lymphocytes, involved in the immune response to viral agents. It also contributes to the inhibition of ROS production and to the remodulation of the cytokine network typical of the systemic inflammatory syndrome. Given the potential protective effects of LC, it is suggested as a supportive and therapeutic option in patients with coronavirus infection. Given this background, in the light of the current COVID-19 emergency, it is the intention of the investigators to conduct a prospective, randomized, open-label, controlled study in the cohort of hospitalized patients with covid-19 pneumonia, administering 2 gr of LC orally in addition to the standard of care therapy (SOC). The investigators hypothesize that the use of LC will be associated with an earlier improvement of clinical and biohumoral parameters after 14 days of LC treatment when compared to the group of patients provided with standard care.
