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.

Study of SARS-CoV2 Virus (COVID-19) Seroprevalence Among Lyon-Bron Military Health Schools Personnel
Emerging in China in December 2019, Covid-19, whose pathogen is SARS-Cov-2, was declared a global pandemic in March 2020. The clinical presentation is highly variable, ranging from asymptomatic forms to acute respiratory distress and even death. Transmission is by droplet route, with an R0 of approximately 3. Rapidly, population protection measures were put in place by governments, including the confinement of all persons whose functions were not considered essential and the closure of educational institutions. Health care institutions are places at risk of Covid-19 transmission and hospital staff are particularly exposed, either through direct contact with patients, contact with exposed persons or through the environment. In order to protect personnel, hygiene measures were immediately recalled and reinforced. During the period of containment, the majority of students from the Lyon-Bron Military Medical Schools were sent as reinforcement in Army Training Hospitals and in the Military Reanimation Unit (Mulhouse). Some students developed symptomatic forms of SARS-Cov-2 infection, documented by positive PCR, during Operation Resilience or on their return from the mission. The Lyon-Bron Military Medical Schools staff, exposed both to the initial phase of the epidemic and to national protection measures, represent an extremely interesting population for understanding the epidemiological dynamics of the virus.

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.

In patients with SARS-CoV-2 or bacterial infection admitted to the intensive care unit (ICU), the state of the intravascular volume, the characteristics of the blood volume components, and the development of a vascular leak is currently unknown. The relationship of these parameters with parameters of cardiac performance, lung edema and sublingual microcirculatory perfusion parameters have never been studied.

COVID-19 is a disease caused by the virus, SARS-CoV-2. Patients with this viral infection are at risk for developing pneumonia and acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). Approximately 20% to 30% of hospitalized patients with COVID-19 and pneumonia require intensive care for respiratory support. Clinically, ARDS presents with severe hypoxemia evolving over several days to a week in combination with bilateral pulmonary infiltrates on chest X-ray. Widespread alveolar epithelial cell and pulmonary capillary endothelial injury can lead to severe impairment in gas exchange. In one report of 1,099 patients hospitalized with COVID-19, ARDS occurred in 15.6% of patients with severe pneumonia. In a smaller case series of 138 hospitalized patients, ARDS occurred in 19.6% of patients and in 61.1% of patients admitted to an intensive care unit (ICU). To date, no effective treatment has been established to treat COVID-19 or to prevent progression of ARDS. It is thought that a heightened immune response with an unbalanced release of inflammatory mediators in the airway is a major cause of morbidity and mortality associated with the disease. It is therefore reasonable to postulate that improved outcomes may be obtained in patients with a balanced immune response with adequate viral control and appropriate counter-regulatory immune responses whereas a poor outcome may be expected in patients with inadequate viral control or a heightened immune response or what is referred to as a "cytokine storm". Thus, modulating the pulmonary immune response without suppressing the immune system would be a viable strategy for patients with COVID-19. The current literature supports the role of neuromodulation, particularly vagal nerve stimulation (VNS), in modulating the immune response. Modulating the pro-inflammatory pathway through VNS has been demonstrated to decrease inflammatory mediators and improve outcomes in several animal models and in humans. Percutaneous electrical nerve field stimulation (PENFS) provides a novel, non-invasive method of VNS through a non-implantable device applied to the external ear. Already, the FDA has cleared this technology for reducing symptoms of opioid withdrawal in patients with opioid use disorder. Symptoms of opioid withdrawal can be decreased by approximately 90% after 1 hour of stimulation. Similarly, the IB-Stim device has been shown to improve symptom in children with abdominal-pain-related functional GI disorders and recently received market approval by the FDA for that indication. Unpublished studies have demonstrated marked decrease in inflammation with PENFS compared to sham stimulation in a model of TNBS colitis. While the efficacy of PENFS in modulating the progression of pulmonary disease in patients with COVID-19 is unknown, several proposed mechanisms for regulation of the immune response through VNS have already been demonstrated. We propose to perform an open label, randomized study to evaluate the efficacy of PENFS for the treatment of respiratory symptoms in patients with COVID-19.

Evaluating the rate of exposure to the virus in the close contact population who shared the home of a person infected with SARS-CoV-2 at the time of infection of the index case - adults or children - is a major factor in assessing the spread. virus in the family environment, assess the factors of circulation and determine whether immunity has been acquired. Screening for specific antibodies to SARS-CoV-2 will determine the exposure and protection acquired against this virus. Knowing the intra-family secondary transmission rate is essential for supporting the strategies for lifting the confinement envisaged and implementing a personalized approach. As of March 8, a platform for the home management of COVID + patients was set up when they, pauci or moderately symptomatic, do not require hospitalization. As of May 6, 2020, 881 patients have been registered in COVID and followed, constituting the active COVIDOM / PSL file. Of the 512 patients included between March 1 and 31, 45% have a household consisting of 3 people. All patients had weekly clinical follow-up by telephone for the duration of the disease with a maximum of 4 weeks having been achieved. If the recommendations of barrier gestures, isolation in an apartment were made during the symptomatic phase, the absence of masks available to all did not allow, in practice, to achieve the isolation and quarantine recommended ideally. to break the transmission of the virus. The FAMI-CoV study proposes to assess the rate of exposure to the virus in contacts sharing the same focus of index cases. A sub-study will assess the proportion of antibodies that have been neutralizing.
