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 corona virus (SARS-CoV-2) epidemic which stared from Wuhan in China is now a well established pandemic worldwide. After Italy, Spain, Germany, United Kingdom and USA, India is at the edge of becoming the next epicentre of this Pandemic. If adequate preventive and therapeutic measures are not taken, India has very high risk of affecting million of people with high mortality because of the large population along with very high population density. At present there are no definitive therapeutic drugs or vaccine are available for the treatment and prevention of SARS-CoV-2 infection. Symptomatic and supportive care are being given to COVID-19 cases along with isolation and quarantine measure are being taken for the suspected individual at risk for COVID-19 to limit the spread of the SARS-CoV-2 infection . Among the all the drugs being used for the treatment of COVID-19, hydroxychloroquine (HCQ), has given some rays of hope to battle against this deadly pandemic. HCQ has some anti viral effect against SARS-CoV in vitro. HCQ is quite safe and being used in rheumatology patients for lifelong without much side effect, so it allow for higher dose without any significant side effects and drug-drug interaction. Recently published clinical trial suggested HCQ can be used for the therapeutic purpose of the SARS-CoV-2 infection. Indian council of medical research (ICMR) has advised for HCQ prophylaxis for all asymptomatic health care workers involved in taking care of suspected or confirmed COVID-19 cases and all asymptomatic household contacts of labarotory confirmed COVID-19 cases. But there is still lack of significant scientific data to prove or disprove the efficacy of HCQ for the treatment and post exposure chemo-prophylaxis for SARS-CoV-2 infection. Being a tertiary care centre we are catering many states which include Punjab, hariyana, himachal Pradesh, Uttara khand, Uttar Pradesh. Among this Punjab have highest population of non residential Indian (NRI) and most of them have returned home. This put our institute to handle highest burden of suspected cases of SARS-CoV-2 in northern India. So we have planned this open level control clinical trial to evaluate the efficacy of post exposure prophylaxis (PEP) with HCQ for the prevention of COVID-19 in asymptomatic individuals who are at risk for SARS-CoV-2 infection. All asymptomatic individuals who have undertaken international travel in last 2 weeks and all asymptomatic individual with direct contact with laboratory confirmed cases will be advised for home quarantine for 2 weeks along with social distancing and personal hygiene. They will be given the option for taking HCQ prophylaxis. These quarantined asymptomatic individuals will be assigned into one post exposure prophylaxis (PEP) group and one control group as per inclusion and exclusion criteria. Individual who will not give consent for HCQ prophylaxis and those with contraindication for HCQ therapy like, hypersensitivity to HCQ or 4-aminoquinolone derivatives, patients with known retionopathy, cardiac arrhythmia, G6PD deficiency, psoriasis and pregnancy will be directly included in the control group. All symptomatic individual, and all health care workers related to suspected or proven COVID-19 will be excluded from the study. The PEP group will receive tablet HCQ 400 mg q 12 hourly on day one followed by 400 mg once weekly for 3 weeks (total cumulative dose of 2000 mg). The control group will not receive HCQ. Both the groups will receive standard care of therapy in the form of home quarantine for 2 weeks along with social distancing and personal hygiene. They will be followed up for 4 weeks telephonically or physically as and when required and will be enquired regarding development of any COVID-19 symptoms like fever, cough, sore throat, shortness of breath, diarrhoea, myalgia.During follow up nasopharyngeal and or throat swab of the participants will be taken for processing reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RTPCR) for the detection SARS-Cov-2 RNA to confirm CoVID-19. Samples for RTPCR will be taken when any asymptomatic participants become symptomatic and by the 5-14 days of contact in asymptomatic participants through in-hospital visit at the institute's communicable disease ward isolation. The participant with RTPCR positive and with or without symptoms will be defined as definite COVID-19 case and the RTPCR negative symptomatic participant will be defined as probable COVID-19 case. Asymptomatic participants with negative RTPCR will be defined as non-COVID case. Incidence of COVID-19 or probable COVID-19 or non-COVID case in previously asymptomatic participants will be compared between the PEP and control groups.

A new Coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2) emerged in Wuhan Province, China in December 2019 and rapidly spread around the world. To date, the data in the literature regarding the clinical and epidemiological characteristics of severe forms of CoVid-19 in patients with chronic respiratory disease are not well known. The hypothesis is that patients with chronic respiratory disease (COPD, asthma, bronchial dilatations, pulmonary hypertension, cystic fibrosis, obesity-hypoventilation syndrome, obstructive sleep apnea syndrome) infected with SARS-Cov-2 will have increased dyspnea and hypoxemia leading to hospitalization for severe forms more frequently than the general population. However, they do not appear to be more at risk of developing a critical form. This study is carried out in order to propose to estimate the prevalence of critical forms of CoVid19 among patients with chronic respiratory diseases hospitalized for severe forms.

Due to the Covid-19 worldwide outbreak, fragile patients with immune diseases, notably rheumatoid arthritis (RA), have to be even more specifically and carefully followed-up. However, it has been shown that false postive serological results often occured while detecting antibodies directed against SARS-CoV-2 in patients with positive rheumatodoid factor (RF). The investigators propose here to investigated this issue. Therefore, the investigators will test three different immunoassays on this specific population. The investigators aim to establish these assays specificity and the levels of RF for which there is a risk of anti-SARS-CoV-2 false positivity and thus ensure a better follow-up of RA patients. The RF isotype will be analysed to determine whether there is a correlation and the impact of the presence of anti-CCP (citrullinated cyclic antipeptide antibodies) will be studied and assessed.

ACTT-3 will evaluate the combination of interferon beta-1a and remdesivir compared to remdesivir alone. Subjects will be assessed daily while hospitalized. If the subjects are discharged from the hospital, they will have a study visit at Days 15, 22, and 29. For discharged subjects, it is preferred that the Day 15 and 29 visits are in person to obtain safety laboratory tests and oropharyngeal (OP) swab and blood (serum only) samples for secondary research as well as clinical outcome data. However, infection control or other restrictions may limit the ability of the subject to return to the clinic. In this case, these visits may be conducted by phone, and only clinical data will be obtained. The Day 22 visit does not have laboratory tests or collection of samples and is conducted by phone. The primary outcome is time to recovery by Day 29.

Ycovid-19 aims to be a rapid diagnostic test for SARS-CoV-2 infection, which will allow a reliable diagnosis to be made in 10 minutes, and on easy-to-use devices. This test will be developed using innovative technology developed at the Parc Taulí University Hospital, which increases the immunogenicity of SARS-CoV-2 differential antigens. The increased immunogenicity of these antigens will allow to detect, with a high sensitivity and specificity, the antibodies in the serum of patients infected with SARS-CoV-2. This test will serve to confirm dubious results as well as reduce false negatives from the PCR test, which will ultimately help reduce transmission of the infection.
