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.
Search Tips
To search this directory, simply type a drug name, condition, company name, location, or other term of your choice into the search bar and click SEARCH. For broadest results, type the terms without quotation marks; to narrow your search to an exact match, put your terms in quotation marks (e.g., “acute respiratory distress syndrome” or “ARDS”). You may opt to further streamline your search by using the Status of the study and Intervention Type options. Simply click one or more of those boxes to refine your search.

Telemedicine will be used as standard practice during the Covid Pandemic, in order to reduce clinician exposure to patients and potential high viral load, and reduce patient footfall in a hospital caring for Covid patients. The 3D telemedicine uses multiple cameras in the clinic room which can reconstruct an image in 3 dimensions. This may give more information about a patient's condition, particularly in more visual specialties such as Plastic Surgery. The systems have hospital approval to be used for telemedicine, all equipment is CE marked. There are no data regarding the use of 3D telemedicine, but similar studies have been performed in many fields including orthopaedic surgery using 2D telemedicine (Buvik 2016). This study aims to provide non-clinical validations of the 3D telemedicine for usability, presence, satisfaction and reliability, using healthy volunteers only.

In this project, we aimed at developing new "Ready-to-Use" inhalable forms of HCQ that can be used directly through nebulization or using dry powder inhalers (DPIs). These inhaled forms would allow a simple and direct delivery of the drug (HCQ) specifically towards the throat and the lung which are the main sites for the COVID-19 viral infection. Hence, the drug can be available at higher concentrations in the throat and lungs as compared with the currently used treatment protocols, while minimizing the drug systemic concentrations and its presence in other body organs, and thus enhancing the drug efficacy with significantly limiting its side effects. Besides, using inhalable forms can be more convenient to patients suffering from gastrointestinal complications from the disease that can limit the absorption of oral forms. Moreover, the proposed inhalable forms are designed in such a way to hide the drug from the immune system (confer stealth characteristics) using FDA-approved excipients to minimize/avoid any immune response towards the drug as was noted towards it in its oral form that's used in the treatment protocol of COVID-19. In addition, the inhaled formulations will be designed to maintain the overall simplicity and scalability of the preparation which is critical during this urgent pandemic situation. The cost of the final formulation is also taken into consideration since the drug is intended for treatment of thousands or probably millions of patients around the world including countries with limited economic capabilities.

The coronavirus outbreak is a stressful event for the whole population. Confinement measures are protective against the risk of dissemination of the virus, but they can also lead to several psychological symptoms. In children, a study in China has reported about 20% of depressive or anxious troubles in school-age children after a 4-week period of confinement. In France, confinement lasted about 8 weeks. School resumed on May 11th for primary school children and on June 2nd for secondary school children. In this survey, we aim at exploring the psychological status of these children and the impact on their schooling, for better understanding, support and prevention. Through this online questionnaire, we also aim at giving some psycho-education advices. Finally, we could identify some subgroups of children particularly vulnerable, and organise some specific support for them in coming months.

The Primary objective is to explore ambulance service attendance at incidents involving alcohol and/or substance use over the period of the pandemic lockdown, and the following months. This will be to determine prevalence and explore factors such as patient gender, age, ethnicity or location. Analysis will examine the calls over the course of the year prior to the lockdown, and then compare this to the period of lockdown and following months.

The current coronavirus disease pandemic has posed a problem and a challenge for health systems globally. In the framework of a pandemic, a diagnosis is a key tool in containing and monitoring disease outbreaks. In this pandemic, the qPCR technique has become vitally important in virus detection, due to its wide detection and quantification range, and the high levels of sensitivity and specificity it presents. The methodology for diagnosing coronavirus by qPCR requires the prior extraction of viral genetic material, which is carried out using commercial kits created for this purpose. Currently, the high demand for supplies to carry out this technique has generated reagent shortage problems, including commercial kits for the extraction of viral genetic material. This research aims to evaluate a solution called AAA-Safe and its method, developed to optimize the diagnostic process, eliminating and replacing the viral RNA extraction stage. We hope that this alternative can be implemented in any molecular diagnostic laboratory, in order to speed up the delivery of a fast and safe diagnosis.
