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.

COVID-19 infection was shown to cause endothelial dysfunction . At the level of the endothelium the pathophysiological mechanisms have been hypothesized and were divided into pro-coagulant, pro-inflammatory, anti-fibrinolytics, impaired barrier function, vasoconstrictor and pro-oxidant. So far, the pro-coagulant and pro-inflammatory pathways have been studied and as a result dexamethasone and anticoagulation became part of the standard therapies for the disease. However, so far, no RCT has been evaluated on targeting the vasoconstrictive and antioxidant pathways with an aim of revealing clinical benefit. So, with this trial we intend to provide a regiment composed of several medications we hypothesize will act on several downstream pathways that would improve endothelial function primarily via the increase in NO production and release. At the time of this proposal there has been no randomized trials evaluating or testing the use of cardiovascular drugs targeting endothelial dysfunction in COVID-19 patients. As previously noted there has been a call to study these drugs and their effect after a strong research regarding their theorized effectiveness. For evidence, there was a recently published meta-analysis evaluating the role of statins in COVID-19 with preliminary findings suggested a reduction in fatal or severe disease by 30% and discredited the suggestion of harm, that emphasized on the need of well-designed randomized controlled trial to confirm the role of statins in COVID-19 patients. Our study would help determine the potential therapeutic effect of the endothelial protocol as adjunct to mainstream management. This study seeks to further our knowledge in treating COVID-19 to ultimately improve clinical outcomes and reduce complications.

This is study is comprised of three approaches. First, the investigators will conduct a retrospective cohort study to determine factors associated with COVID-19 severity and complications and understand COVID-19 outcomes, including all-cause mortality, post-discharge events, and impacts of rehabilitation services (third aim). The second aim is a mixed-method study and follows COVID-19 patients with repeated surveys to determine patient-reported functional outcomes, health recovery, and rehabilitation needs after COVID-19. The investigators will recruit patients and their informal caregivers for interviews to assess their function and rehabilitation needs.

Neurologic, neuropsychological and neuropsychiatric symptoms, signs and diagnoses are increasingly being reported in COVID-19 patients. However, the extent and implications of such "NeuroCOVID" involvement, as well as blood and MRI biomarkers for neurological and psychiatric COVID-19-affection and treatments, warrants further studies. The investigator will perform a national study with clinical and biomarker assessments of NeuroCOVID in approximately 150 Norwegian patients, recruited from ongoing COVID-studies in Norway as well as from neurological departments in Norway. The investigator will define the burden of neurological, psychological and psychiatric complications of COVID-19 disease and identify clinical characteristics and biomarkers for both short- and long-term neurological treatment and rehabilitation. Blood samples for biomarker analyses, brain MRI, clinical neurological, neurophysiological and neuropsychological assessments will be performed at 6 and 12 moths after acute disease,

COVID-19 (Coronavirus disease 2019) is a new infectious disease caused by a virus named as SARS-CoV2 (Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus-2). Although it can have a devastating effect on many organs, the respiratory tract is particularly affected. In the course of the disease, a wide clinical spectrum is observed, from flu-like illness to lung failure. Some of the patients who survived the disease continue to have problems such as shortness of breath, fatigue, decrease in walking distance, decrease in participation in daily life activities. These problems suggest that the effects on respiratory and cardiac functions continue even after the disease ends. This study was designed to demonstrate the effects and extent of COVID-19 on cardiopulmonary capacity.

Since initial reports of a novel coronavirus emerged from Hubei province, China, the world has been engulfed by a pandemic with over 3 million cases and 225,000 deaths by 30th April 2020. Health care systems around the world have struggled to cope with the number of patients presenting with COVID-19 (the disease caused by the SARS-CoV-2 virus). Although the majority of people infected with the virus have a mild disease, around 20% experience a more severe illness leading to hospital admission and sometimes require treatment in intensive care. People that survive severe COVID-19 are likely to have persistent health problems that would benefit from rehabilitation. Pulmonary rehabilitation (PR) is a multidisciplinary program which is designed to improve physical and social performance and is typically provided for people with chronic lung conditions. PR courses typically last 6-12 weeks with patients attending classes once or twice weekly and consist of exercise and education components. PR is known to improve symptoms (e.g. breathlessness), quality of life and ability to exercise in those with lung conditions. Breathlessness is a very common symptom reported by people presenting to hospital with COVID-19 and loss of physical fitness will be very common. Using existing pulmonary rehabilitation programmes as a model, we have developed a tele-rehabilitation programme (a programme that will be delivered using video link to overcome the challenges faced by social distancing and shielding advice) for people that have been critically ill with COVID-19. In order to prove whether people benefit from this tele-rehabilitation programme after being admitted to hospital following COVID-19 we would need to perform a large clinical trial. However, before doing this it is important for us to answer some key questions: - How many people that have been admitted to hospital and needed intensive care treatment for COVID-19 still report breathlessness, fatigue, cough and limitation of activities after being discharged from hospital? - Is it possible to recruit these people to a trial of tele-rehabilitation after hospital discharge? - Are people willing and able to perform tele-rehabilitation in their own home using video-link to connect with their therapist? - Are there other rehabilitation needs that are commonly encountered by people requiring intensive care treatment for COVID-19 that could be addressed by tele-rehabilitation that the programme doesn't currently address? Investigators will perform a small study called a feasibility trial to answer these questions and gather some early information about possible benefits of tele-rehabilitation. Based on our understanding of other similar diseases, doctors and therapists think that people will benefit from rehabilitation after COVID-19. The investigators therefore want to test a trial design that makes sure that everyone gets the treatment. This type of trial is called a feasibility, wait-list design randomised controlled trial. People with breathlessness and some limitation of activities will be selected at random to receive tele-rehabilitation within 2 weeks or to wait 6-8 weeks before starting. how many people were eligible to take part, how many agreed to take part and the symptoms and rehabilitation needs that they have will be assessed. Investigators will then monitor symptoms and ability to exercise at the start and end of the trial and before and after tele-rehabilitation.
