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.

Effectiveness of the use of Tenofovir/Emtricitabine in addition to personal protective equipment for the prevention of the transmission of SARS-COV-2 to health care personnel. A Randomized Clinical Trial. This is an experimental study whose aim is to evaluate the effectiveness of a drug to prevent infection with the virus that causes COVID-19 (SARS-CoV-2), in health care workers. The drug under study is Tenofovir /Emtricitabine, a well-known antiretroviral, which is safe and is used as prophylaxis and treatment for HIV and other viral infections such as Hepatitis. Several laboratory-based studies indicate that this drug has the potential to inhibit SARS-CoV-2 replication. In addition, one study in HIV infected persons found that those taking Tenofovir /Emtricitabine tended to have a lower occurrence of COVID-19. In this study, we will compare the occurrence of infection with SARS-CoV-2/ COVID19 in health care workers between those assigned to an intervention group and those assigned to a control group. The intervention group will receive Tenofovir /Emtricitabine during 60 days in addition to the use of personal protective equipment (PPE), and the control group will receive a placebo during 60 days in addition to the use of personal protective equipment (PPE). The study will recruit 950 health professionals above 18 and less than 70 years, working in the emergency room, COVID wards and intensive care units of seven hospitals in Colombia. To make the comparison groups very similar, the participants will be assigned through a random mechanism to either the intervention (475), or the control (475) groups. In order to prevent biases in the evaluation of the results, neither the participants nor the clinical investigators, data managers, analysts and support personnel will know which intervention the participants are receiving. To determine the occurrence of infection with the virus the study will use both molecular tests that detect the presence of viral genes in respiratory secretions, and serological tests that detect the response of the immune system to the virus. The study will evaluate also the safety of this drug determining the occurrence of adverse events.

Severe pneumoniae related to Coronavirus Disease (COVID-19), had a high in-hospital mortality; this condition are worst in subjects with acute kidney disease (AKI); conditioning increased mortality, days of assisted mechanical ventilation (AMV), increased nosocomial infections and high costs. We need many studies for determinated the risk factors for AKI in subjects with COVID-19. This study pretends identify the incidence of AKI in subjects with severe pneumoniae by COVID-19, describe the role of some biomarkers in the physiopathology of AKI-COVID-19; and determine the evolution of urinary biomarkers during hospitalization, like neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin (NGAL), tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinases-2 (TIMP-2), insulin-like growth factor binding protein-7 (IGFBP7), and interleukin-6 (IL-6) and the progression of viruria of Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS) related to CoronaVirus 2 (CoV2) in subjects with or without AKI.

Pandemic SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19) respiratory infection is responsible for more than 4,000 deaths, mainly (67%) secondary to acute respiratory distress syndromes (ARDS). ARDS is usually associated with a mortality of around 40%, but this rate reaches 61% in patients infected with SARS-CoV-2. Two endotypes have been described in patients with ARDS: one, hyper-inflammatory, associated with very high mortality (51%); the second, slightly inflammatory (immunoparalysis), associated with much lower mortality (19%). In COVID-19 patients, distinct immune response profiles have also been observed. Some patients present deep lymphopenia and/or prolonged viral excretions associated with more frequent occurrence of co-infections (+ 29% of virus, + 23% of bacteria, + 10% of fungi). The latter group may be at higher risk in terms of mortality. The intensity of the inflammatory response and/or microbial coinfections therefore appear as risk factors for severity and mortality in patients infected with SARS-CoV-2 which determine the course of the disease. To adapt early optimal therapeutic management to each forms of the disease, it is essential to be able to characterize these profiles on the microbiological and inflammatory level. With a committed network of 6 intensive-care units across eastern and northern Ile-de-France, 180 patients with ARDS and infected with SARS-CoV-2 are being enrolled. For these patients, a nasopharyngeal swab is collected at inclusion; followed by a new nasopharyngeal swab and a deep respiratory sample once a week, until D28, for an exploration of co-infections and for monitoring the viral load of SARS-CoV-2. The rest of each of these samples are collected for the study. In parallel, the clinical data usually collected in the context of intensive care will be collected on a CRF. They will allow to calculate risk scores such as SOFA.

Based on the experience of previous pandemics, countries reacted by applying different upgrade strategies to prevent or delay the widespread of the disease. Therefore, measures such as border closure, school closure, restrict social gathering (even shutdown of workplaces), limit population movements, and confinement meaning quarantines at the scale of cities or regions. In public hospitals, several measures have been decided to concentrate the power of care on potential wave of admissions of patients with severe forms of Covid-19. In this purpose, the number of available beds in Intensive Care Units (ICU) has been increased by two-fold and scheduled non-emergency surgical procedure have been cancelled. That means: 1. For the most severe patients, new personals (physician such as anesthesiologists, nurses of other units) have been transferred in ICUs. 2. For the less severe patients, personals of non-busy units have been transferred in busier ones. All these measures lead to major daily-life change sets that could be stressful. In the general population, it has been well documented that quarantine or confinement or isolation could lead to the occurrence of Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) syndrome in about 30% overall population. Importantly, high depressive symptoms have been reported in 9% of hospital staff. Numerous symptoms have been reported after quarantine or isolation such as emotional disturbance, depression, stress, low mood, irritability, insomnia, and post-traumatic stress symptoms. In hospital setting, few studies have been performed for assessing the psychological impact of quarantine and isolation. However, two studies reported a high prevalence of burn-out syndrome (BOS) in ICU physician and PTSD syndrome and depression in ICU nurses. As the consequences of all the measures decided and applied during Covid-19 pandemic could be important on caregivers, the present study primarily aims at assessing the prevalence of PTSD syndrome in a large population of caregivers implied or not in Intensive Care Units. The secondary objective were 1) to assess the prevalence of severe depression and anxiety and BOS 2) to isolate potential factors associated with PTSD, severe depression, anxiety or BOS.

The coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic continues to grow exponentially. Angiotensin II levels are increased in human influenza and are associated with influenza viral load, disease progression and mortality. Preliminary data shows angiotensin II receptor blockers (ARBs) limits lung injury in murine influenza H7N9, as well as viral titre and RNA. ARBs could limit viral titre and organ injury in COVID-19. We will therefore collect clinical chart data and test angiotensin II levels of patients who are admitted to ICU with COVID-19 to determine whether there is a correlation between taking ARBs and clinical outcomes in these patients. Other blood biomarkers and clinical risk factors for COVID-19 have come to light in recent weeks. We include these in our observational analysis to help generate an understanding of COVID-19 presentation and blood biomarker characterization of disease.

Coronavirus disease (COVID-19) related pneumonia significantly impact patients with underlying cardiovascular (CV) conditions. Animal studies suggest that drugs commonly used to treated CV diseases may increase the ability of COVID-19 to infect cells. The RAAS-COVID-19 trial aims to assess whether temporarily holding these CV drugs in patients who are admitted with COVID-19, versus continuing them, in patients admitted with COVID-19 can impact short term outcomes.
