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.

The Respiratory infection COVID-19, due to a new coronavirus, SARS-CoV2, appeared in December 2019 in several people who attended the wildlife market in Wuhan, Hubei Province, China. While COVID-19 has spread to nearly 200 countries and caused two millions infections, Lao PDR detected its first confirmed case very recently, on March 20, three months after the start of the outbreak in China. As of April 12th, 2020, Lao PDR has only recorded 18 confirmed cases, a very low number compared to other countries around the world. However, several key factors suggest that Lao PDR could be much more affected by COVID-19 because of the following reasons: (i) The multiple and massive trans-border movements between Lao PDR and China. (ii) The similar biogeographical and socio-ecological characteristics with South-Western China. (iii) The detection of a high diversity of Betacoronavirus sequences in several species of bats in Lao PDR. (iv) The numerous markets selling high volumes of local wildlife including bats and pangolins. LACOVISS project aim at investigating, using a ONE-HEALTH approach, this unexpected epidemiological pattern of SARS-CoV-2 in Lao PDR by bringing together an interdisciplinary team of experts in the field from IRD, the University of Caen, the Center of Infectiology Lao-Christophe Mérieux (CILM) and the National animal Health Laboratory (NAHL) in Vientiane. The study will focus on a community-based cohort of 1092 households, including 5400 study participants, followed-up between March 2015 and February 2019 for influenza-like illness investigation and causative agents detection (LACORIS project), located in the Vientiane metropolitan area. The COVID-19 progression in Lao PDR, and track SARS-CoV-2, will be followed retrospectively and prospectively, in all potential actors in SARS-CoV-2 circulation, including humans, domestic animals, and wildlife. The LACOVISS project will undoubtedly bring new insight in SARS-Cov-2 and SARS-CoV-like circulation in Lao PDR as well as valuable information on the natural history of COVID-19, and on the modalities of the spillover into humans, which are still largely unknown.

The positive cases of coronavirus disease-2019 (COVID-19) in Indonesia has been increasing rapidly since the first case found in March 2020 to date. Coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) virus disrupts human normal immune system resulting in uncontrolled inflammatory response. Based on our research and experience in doing cell therapy for 9 years, activated platelet-rich plasma (PRP) produces anti-inflammatory effects in inflammatory condition that is beneficial for tissue regeneration. In this study, we aimed to evaluate the potential of autologous activated platelet-rich plasma (aaPRP) and the outcomes for treating severe Coronavirus Disease-2019 (COVID-19) patients in Intensive Care Unit (ICU).

COVID-19 infection is hypothesized to have a potentially negative effect on male fertility through direct damage to the testes. The current trial is aimed at investigating the effect of SARS-CoV-2 on fertility and determining if viral bodies are capable of directly damaging testicular cells
Technological Innovations for Detection and Diagnosis Laboratory
In order to control the COVID-19 pandemic, a policy for the diagnosis and screening of people likely to be infected with SARS-CoV-2 has been established The reference diagnostic test is RT-PCR on nasopharyngeal swab. Nasopharyngeal swabbing requires training, generates a risk of aerosolization and therefore viral transmission to the operator, and is unpleasant or even painful for the patient. RT-PCR is efficient, but time-consuming. It is therefore necessary to consider techniques that are less subject to difficulties of production and sampling, and less time-consuming. Tandem mass spectrometry on saliva samples is a promising option. A combined "mass spectrometry/saliva test" should provide faster results.

The new coronavirus known as SARS-Cov-2 (severe acute respiratory syndrome -coronavirus 2) was first reported in December 2019 and rapidly became a public health emergency. The COVID-19 pandemic is now affecting sensitive regions with fragile health care systems, such as South America and Africa. Caregivers, in the front line of Covid19 patient management, may accidentally become infected and a source of infection during the incubation phase or in case of asymptomatic infection. The objectives of this project are thus i) to assess SARS-Cov-2 spread over the hospital departments of Bamako by carrying out a systematic molecular screening of patients and caregivers, ii) to evaluate the feasibility of Point-Of-Care molecular assays in Mali and iii) to estimate the immunity acquired from SARS-Cov-2 among health workers through serological testing, allowing also the assessment of asymptomatic caregiver rate and absence of re-infection among the immunized caregivers. Finally, iv) variability of the virus over time and spread of different variants around the world will be studied by sequencing the viral genome.

The SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19) infection is causing a global pandemic and a major health crisis in France. Immunity is the body's ability to defend itself against infectious agents such as viruses. The progressive acquisition by a large part of the population of immunity to defend itself against the COVID-19 virus is one of the main mechanisms by which a resolution of this pandemic is hoped for. Recovery from infection and protection from the virus is likely to depend on the development of antibodies (proteins produced by the body to neutralize infectious agents) and T-cells (a type of white blood cell in the immune system) that can stop the virus from multiplying and killing it. To date, the way and speed at which the T-lymphocytes active against the virus appear are not known. The development of biological tests to detect T-cells active against the virus in the blood of infected patients is therefore necessary. In this context, we propose you to participate in a study that will study the immune system's response against the sars-CoV-2 virus during and after COVID-19 infection.

COVID-19, the coronavirus responsible for the pandemic that began at the end of 2019 in China, spreads through respiratory droplets and direct contact. The most common symptoms of the disease include fever, cough, asthenia or myalgia, wheezing and headache, and the most serious complication is acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). The new coronavirus has continued to spread to multiple countries and continents so much so that the epidemic was declared a Public Health Emergency of International Interest (PHEIC) by the World Health Organization (WHO) on January 30, 2020. In the first phase of emergency worldwide, characterized by high morbidity and mortality, scientific interest has been mainly directed to the study of the transmission mechanisms of the infection, diagnostic tools and therapies for ARDS, especially in elderly and co-morbid patients. Interest has rapidly spread to other categories of patients and in particular to pregnancy, on which the virus could impact in different ways, with consequences for both the mother and the fetus. A recent systematic review that included all published reports on Coronaviruses (COVID-19, SARS, and MERS) in pregnancy showed that preterm delivery is the most frequently reported adverse event in these women, and that COVID-19 is associated with an increased risk of preeclampsia and caesarean section. Nonetheless, the limited sample size, the main inclusion of cases reported for acute respiratory symptoms, the lack of information on previous pathologies potentially capable of complicating pregnancy, do not allow for the extrapolation of strong evidence on the course of infection in pregnancy. Therefore, the current status of the scientific literature does not allow for general and wide-ranging implications. THe investigators therefore believe it is particularly useful to investigate maternal and fetal outcomes in this new broader scenario, including all pregnancies associated with asymptomatic or symptomatic SARS-CoV-2 infection, found in any gestational period, in order to evaluate in a "real world scenario" "Actual rates of maternal-fetal and neonatal adverse events
