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.

Novel Coronavirus (2019nCoV) or Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome-Coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2) that causes Coronavirus Disease 2019, or known as Covid-19 has recently become a global health emergency since it was first detected in Wuhan, the People Republic of China in December 2019. Since then, the prevalence has rapidly increased worldwide. In Indonesia, by the end of April 2020, around 10,000 patients have been tested positive for Covid-19 infection, with a case fatality rate of around 8%. The pathogenesis of Covid-19 is still under investigation and to our understanding, ACE2 receptors in the alveoli serve as the binding site of the S-protein of envelope spike virus of SARS-CoV-2. TMPRSS2 enzyme aids the fusion between cell membrane and capsid of the virus, allowing penetration of virus into the cell. Vesicles containing virion fuse with cell membrane and released as new virions. Cytopathic effect of the virus and its ability to overcome immune response determines the degree of infection. Differences in immunological profile among degrees of severity of Covid-19 may vary especially for the number of pro-inflammatory cytokines such as tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-α), interleukin (IL)-1, IL-6, IL-8, leukemia-inhibiting factors (LIF), immunological markers such as CXCR3+CD4+, CXCR3+CD8+ T cell and CXCR3+ NK cells, implying the ongoing cytokine storm. The previous studies also found increasing number for infection markers such as procalcitonin, ferritin, and C-reactive protein. The decreasing number of anti-inflammatory cytokines in such as IL-10 also supports this finding. Previous studies have shown immunomodulating and anti-inflammatory capacity of the mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs). MSCs contributed to the shifting of pro-inflammatory Th2 into anti-inflammatory Th2. One of the most recent study on the usage of MSCs on Covid-19 patients showed increased expression of leukemia inhibitory factor (LIF), which give rise to inhibitory effect of T lymphocyte and natural killer (NK) cell population. Vascular epithelial growth factor (VEGF) is found increasing following MSCs administration, which indicates the ability to improve the disrupted capillaries due to SARS-Cov-2 infection. The ability of MSCs in differentiating to alveolar cells is proven by the presence of SPM and SPC2, surfactant proteins produced by type II alveolar cells. MSCs are unable to be infected by SARS-CoV-2 since they don't have ACE2 receptors and TMPRSS2 enzyme.

Context: Based on currently available data, most of national health authorities and consensus expert groups have written guidelines for the management of cancer patients in the context of COVID. However, the preparation of these guidelines was limited by the scarcity of solid epidemiological data. For example, the experts were uncomfortable to formulate precise guidelines on which anti-cancer treatment should be interrupted or replaced, on which patients, and how to adapt supportive drug prescriptions. Objectives : - To measure the excess risk of mortality and morbidity of patients with a history of cancer among patients hospitalized for a SARS-CoV-2 infection. - To identify factors associated with the risk of death and morbidity among patients with cancer. Methodology: Retrospective inclusion of n=200 cancer patients hospitalized for COVID and n=400 matched (based on age, gender, and comorbidity) non-cancer patients hospitalized for COVID. Two analyses will be performed (after the inclusion of n=100 and n=200 patients with cancer). A logistic modeling of the odds ratio of death associated to the exposition factor (i.e. cancer) and adjusted for the matching parameters (age, gender, comorbidities) will be proposed. We will then look for the factors (related to the patients, the cancer or the treatment) that modify the odds radio. Expected results: The data generated will help the medical and scientific community to evaluate the increasing risk of cancer patients infected by SARS-CoV-2 compared to the non-cancer population, to identify patients at higher risk of severe infection, but also the anticancer treatments associated with an increased risk of severe infections. Impact: These data will contribute to guide the future recommendations concerning cancer patient's care in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic. There is a real risk that the SARS-CoV epidemic, or other respiratory viruses epidemic, will become recurrent in the future. Thus, it is of crucial importance for now and for the future to know which are the major factors associated with severe infections

On 11th of March 2020, WHO characterized COVID-19 infection as a Pandemic. After the COVID-19 infection is declared as a Pandemic there was an outburst regarding COVID-19 Research. The Research interest led to registration of Interventional and Observational studies world wide. There are constant efforts by Health care workers to seek information regarding the Interventional and Observational studies which can help in decision making regarding effective handling of COVID-19 infected patients. It is also important to track on the happenings in various frontiers of COVID-19 Research in view of historical interest and clinical relevance. This Observational Cross sectional study aims to explore the completed Researches in WHO-compliant registries to understand the trends of COVID-19 Research. This study aims to get a birds eye view of ongoing COVID-19 Research scenario worldwide. This study results can directly benefit the worldwide Academicians and Health Care Professionals to understand the ongoing COVID-19 Research trends.

The actual COVID-19 epidemy is an unprecedented healthcare problem. Although acute respiratory distress syndrome is the main organ failure, acute kidney injury (AKI) has appeared to be more frequent and more severe than expected. Some data suggested a potential direct renal tropism of the virus, or undirect injury by "cytokine storm". The aims of this study are: 1. To describe incidence, severity and mortality associated with AKI during covid-19 infection in ICU 2. To identify specific risk factors for AKI 3. To explore pathophysiologic mechanism of AKI during COVID-19 infection

Data show that the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) symptoms can be severe in 4% and 3% of the adolescents aged 11-15 years and ≥ 16 years, respectively. In addition, the prevalence of chronic diseases among adolescents has increased in the last years. About 20% of the adolescents have some chronic disease, resulting in increased morbidity and mortality. In march, 2020, the quarantine was officially implemented in Sao Paulo, while elective medical appointments for adolescents with chronic disease were temporarily suspended. To mitigate the deleterious effect of the social isolation on physical and mental health among these patients, this study aims to test the effects of an online, home-based, exercise training program.

SAR-Cov-2 infection and its clinical manifestation known as COVID-19 beside the respiratory and lung involvement may include the cardiovascular system, the nervous system and the liver. In the acute phase of the disease, all of these conditions may be life-threatened. As a result, after the acute phase of COVID-19, early complications may be observed, including heart, lungs, brain, muscles and liver. A few papers to date have been reported of myocarditis, ventricular arrhythmias, post-inflammatory changes in the lung and liver, as well as ischemic changes in the brain, diseases of skeletal muscle, which may have adverse prognostic effects. Due to the extent of the pandemic, the severity of the complications and the expected high complications' prevalence in the early post-recovery period, a study was designed to determine the extent of the problem of early complications after COVID-19. Complex cardiological, pulmonary, neurological and hepatological diagnostics are planned, including laboratory, imaging and functional tests. The results obtained, in addition to determining the scale of the problem, will allow the selection of studies that optimally identify patients with early complications. The purpose of this procedure is to enable rapid treatment of diseases that are complications of SARS-COV-2 infection. An additional aspect raised in the project will be the issue of psychiatric disorders (anxiety, depression, post traumatic disorders). The main three purposes of the study include: 1. the assessment of prevalence of particular complications after COVID-19. 2. identification of the demographic and clinical risk factors of COVID-19 complications 3. determining the diagnostic tests which are sufficient to detect early complications of COVID-19
