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.

SARS-CoV-2 is the novel coronavirus responsible for COVID-19, coronavirus disease 2019. This new coronavirus was first detected in Wuhan, China in late December 2019. According to WHO, the incidence rate of COVID-19 is prominent among adults and elderly people, reaching so far >2 million cases globally. Meanwhile, confirmed death cases reached >126 thousands of reported cases in 185 countries and still increasing. We anticipate that immunological differences among COVID19-infected patients might be a reason behind the variation of patient outcomes. Therefore, we intend to investigate cellular and humoral immune responses of COVID19-positive patients, and we claim to discover new indicators of patients' prognosis. Our target population includes three categories of patients staying at ICU, HMC (COVID19-positive vs. COVID19-negative vs. healthy control). Throughout their ICU stay, multiple blood samples will be screened for leukocytes surface markers, leukocytes' production of certain molecules, and circulating cytokines/chemokines/checkpoint inhibitors. Their plasma/serum will be used as well for immune proteomics, metabolomics, and other serological tests. Such parameters can provide the more comprehensive status of COVID19-infected patients at infection onset, during treatment intake, and at recovery or relapse stage. Following analysis, the main prospective outcome of this study is to identify the most reflective markers of COVID19-positive patients' outcomes.

This is a multi-center study comparing clinical outcomes in patients with COVID-19 in subjects hospitalized at Hadassah and other hospitals for PCR or serology confirmed COVID-19 and compare the outcomes to the presence of different degrees of a cytokine storm. The patients will be subdivided into a mild, moderate, and severe course according to NEWS2.

COVID-19 is a community acquired pneumonia caused by infection with a novel coronavirus, SARS CoV2 and is a serious condition with high mortality in hospitalised patients, for which there is no currently approved treatment other than supportive care. Urgent investigation of potential treatments for this condition is required. This protocol describes an overarching and adaptive trial designed to provide safety, pharmacokinetic (PK)/ pharmacodynamic (PD) information and exploratory biological surrogates of efficacy which may support further development and deployment of candidate therapies in larger scale trials of COVID-19 positive patients receiving normal standard of care. Given the spectrum of clinical disease, community based infected patients or hospitalised patients can be included. Products requiring parenteral administration will only be investigated in hospitalised patients. Patients will be divided into cohorts, a) community b) hospitalised patients with new changes on a chest x-ray (CXR) or a computed tomography (CT) scan or requiring supplemental oxygen and c) hospitalised requiring assisted ventilation. Participants may be recruited from all three of these cohorts, depending on the experimental therapy, its route of administration and mechanism of action. The relevant cohort(s) for any given therapy will be detailed in the therapy-specific appendix. Candidate therapies can be added to the protocol and previous candidates removed from further investigation as evidence emerges. The trial will be monitored by an independent Data Monitoring Committee (DMC) to ensure patient safety. Each candidate cohort will include a small cohort of patients randomised to candidate therapy or existing standard of care management dependent on disease stage at entry. Cohort numbers will be defined in the protocol appendices. This is a Phase IIa experimental medicine trial and as such formal sample size calculations are not appropriate.

The recent COVID-19 outbreak has put the health care workers on the frontline to interact and provide support to the patients. Based on previous disease outbreak-associated studies, it is evident that these individuals are at a high-risk of developing psychological distress such as burnout, anxiety, depression, and stress (BADS). Thus, the current study aims to evaluate the mental health outcomes of healthcare workers dealing with COVID-19 patients within Qatar and internationally, during and after the COVID-19 crisis. The participants will be divided into two groups: those working with COVID-19 patients and those not working with COVID-19 patients. The magnitude of symptoms of BADS will be assessed using electronic versions of the standardized questionnaires: Maslach Burnout Inventory (MBI-HSS), Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS), Depression, Anxiety and Stress Scale (DASS-21), and Conditions for Work Effectiveness (CWEQ). A follow-up survey will be sent to both groups after the COVID-19 crisis to assess their vulnerability to develop post-trauma stress disorder (PTSD) using a PDS-5 survey.

The number of cases of COVID-19 is still increasing and transmission of SARS-CoV-2 seems to occur mainly through person-to-person transmission through respiratory droplets, indirect contact with infected people and surfaces. The use of face masks is recommended as a public health measure, but in many settings only domestic cloth made masks are available to the majority of the people. However, masks can be of different quality and very little is known about the utility of cloth face masks at the community level. In Bandim Health Project's Health and Demographic Surveillance System we will evaluate the effect of providing locally produced cloth face masks on severity of COVID-19 like illness and mortality in an urban population. The locally produced cloth mask is made according to a laboratory certified model and will be provided to the intervention group alongside information of how the risk of transmission can be reduced. The control group will receive information alone. Follow-up will be implemented through telephone calls and post-epidemic home visits.

Some patients with COVID have abnormally high carbon dioxide and low oxygen levels despite being on the ventilator. The hypothesis of the study is that the application of mild hypothermia to patients with COVID will decrease their metabolic rate and improve their oxygenation and carbon dioxide levels.
Brain & Spine Institute (ICM)
Patients with neurological or psychiatric symptoms or pre-existing disease will be sampled (blood for serum and DNA or saliva for DNA) at inclusion and at M6 (blood) and M12 (blood) depending on their pathology. Sampling will be done either at hospital if patient is on site for routine care or at home if no consultation is scheduled at hospital.

It's an obsevational retrospective/prospective study. Analyzing the evolution of COVID 19 infection in cancer patients can provide interesting information in the management of these patients. For this reason, the purpose of this study is to implement a registry to describe and monitor cancer patients affected by COVID 19, the factors that are associated with an unfavorable evolution, to develop a strategy for the risk assessment of these patients and recommendations. relating to their treatment. Particular attention will be paid to patients suffering from urological tumors because the treatment followed by the patients would seem to expose them to a greater risk when they are infected with coronavirus, furthermore, from the literature it is clear that there may be a connection between sex hormones and ACE2 levels in the plasma. In fact, the estrons up-regulate the concentration of ACE2 in the circulation and this could be the reason why women would seem more protected than men once they contract the coronavirus infection

The primary objective of this survey study is to assess the impact of the current COVID-19 pandemic on participants with psychiatric disorders to identify areas of needed support and services. Data collected may serve as a foundational research in the prevention, care and treatment of mental health disorders during pandemics such as COVID-19. This survey study will utilize the Epidemic-Pandemic Impacts Inventory (EPII). This is a newly tool designed to assess tangible impacts of epidemics and pandemics across personal and social life domains.
