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.

Phage Treatment in Covid-19 Patients with Bacterial Co-Infections
Erasme University Hospital
The renin-angiotensin system (RAS) has a relevant role in COVID-19, as the virus will enter host's cells via the angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE2); RAS disequilibrium might also play a key role in the modulation of the inflammatory response that characterizes the lung involvement. Angiotensin-(1-7) is a peptide that could be altered in COVID-19 patient and its supplementation may potentially helpful in this setting.

SARS-CoV-2 is the agent responsible for a new infectious respiratory disease called Covid-19 (for CoronaVirus Disease 2019) which is mainly characterized by potentially severe and fatal lung damage. The severity of the clinical signs associated with this pathology requires the admission to hospital of approximately 20% of patients, 5%-10% of whom will be admitted to intensive care. The most severe cases of this pathology begin with dyspnea which worsens rapidly around the 7th-10th day of the disease into an acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) which requires the patient to be put under mechanical ventilation in the intensive care unit and is responsible for the majority of deaths. Certain biological parameters suggest a massive and brutal release of cytokines (interleukins IL-6, IL-8 and IL-10 mainly) secondary to a syndrome of macrophagic activation mainly in the pulmonary level. Several therapeutic trials aimed at reducing or controlling this immune storm are in progress (anti IL-6 antibodies, anti r IL6 Ab, corticosteroids). Molecular hydrogen acts on the final path of this complex inflammatory cascade by inhibiting the cellular action of reactive oxygen species. Its early use combined with nasal oxygen therapy could prevent this worsening of the respiratory system, so could be likely to limit the risk of overflow of intensive care services during the pandemic and save lives. The aim of this study is to evaluate the safety and the Dose Limiting Toxicity (DLT) of hydrogen therapy delivered by a nasal cannula in addition to conventional oxygen therapy in patients with moderate Covid-19

Some patients with COVID-19 have sequelae after the acute phase of infection. These sequelae can be physical (dyspnea, exercise intolerance, abnormal fatigue) but also psychic (anxiety, depression). Systemic sequelae have also been observed in pulmonary, cardiac, hepatic, renal, nervous or immune systems. Respiratory rehabilitation (RR) is indicated in these patients to help their complete recovery without sequelae. These patients' arrival and sanitary constraints imposed by COVID-19 changed the organization of Health Care Centers (HCC). Risk of contagiousness after the acute phase of infection still exists. Consequently, patients must respect a quarantine time on their arrival in HCC and then have no contact with other HCC patients to respect the barrier rules and social distancing measures. HCC accommodation capacities are reduced and this is to the detriment of patients with chronic diseases for whom RR is essential. Certain HCCs saturation can also be responsible for a non-proposal of RR in the care pathway of patients after COVID-19. To cope with the new constraints imposed by Covid-19 pandemic, telemedicine is being developed in the affected industrial countries. Some SRH physicians are starting to offer post-COVID-19 patients the possibility of carrying out a tele-rehabilitation program (TRR). Such a telemedicine program has been validated for people with respiratory failure. It allows the patient to follow his care program without leaving his home and it does not require the visit from a health professional. In addition to reducing the inflow of post COVID-19 patients in HCC, it allows fragile patients to respect social distancing. It could also contain virus spread virus on the territory by reducing patient movements. When choosing between RR and TRR, the clinician must ask himself two questions. Is TRR as efficient as RR for post-COVID-19 patients? Is there a profile of patients for whom either method gives better results? This study proposes to evaluate both methods: a 4-week TRR program vs a conventional RR program in post COVID-19 patients with sequelae. If the hypothesis that both methods have similar effects is verified, this would allow the generalization of the prescription of TRR. The benefits will be individual with greater access to respiratory rehabilitation for post COVID-19 patients. There will also be collective public health benefits by maintaining sufficient access to HCC for patients with chronic diseases.

The purpose of this study is to measure how well monoclonal antibodies work, either alone or in combination, against the virus that causes COVID-19. Study drug(s) will be given to participants with early symptoms of COVID-19. Samples will be taken from the back of the nose to determine how much virus is in the body at various times during the study. Participation could last about 12 or 24 weeks and includes at least 1 visit to the study site, with the remainder of assessments performed in the home, local clinic, or by phone.

Uganda hosts 1.4 million refugees, making it Sub-Saharan Africa's largest refugee host community and the third largest globally. Adolescents and young people (AYP) comprise half of the world's 70.8 million forcibly displaced persons, yet they are understudied in pandemics, including in COVID-19. Poverty, overcrowded living conditions, and poor sanitation likely elevate forcibly displaced persons' COVID-19 risks by limiting their ability to practice mitigation strategies. There continue to be significant knowledge gaps regarding the implementation and effectiveness of behaviour change interventions on improving COVID-19 prevention practices (i.e. hand and respiratory hygiene, physical distancing). mHealth (healthcare delivered by mobile phones) is cost-effective, aligned with how youth learn and socialize, vital for physical distancing, and has been used for COVID-19 messaging in other low- and middle-income countries. Nested within an ongoing HIV self-testing cluster-randomized trial, this study aims to develop, implement, and evaluate the effectiveness of an mHealth intervention in increasing COVID-19 prevention practices with displaced/refugee AYP aged 16-24 in Kampala, Uganda. Participants will be enrolled in a 8-week mHealth social group intervention program that is informed by the RANAS (Risks, Attitudes, Norms, Abilities, and Self-Regulation) approach to Water, Sanitation, and Hygiene. Using a pre-test/post-test design, this study will assess changes in participants' self-efficacy (e.g. ability, confidence, adherence) in COVID-19 prevention practices.

The current COVID-19 epidemic threatens to overwhelm the capacity of many countries to meet their populations' health care needs. Although several vaccines specific for SARS-CoV-2 have been or are being developed, these require testing in animal and human safety studies and they are unlikely to be available during the expected peak periods of the growing epidemic. Two groups at especially high risk of infection and disease are front line health care workers working directly with COVID-19 patients and elderly residents of group homes or facilities that provide skilled nursing care to this frail population. Interim measures to protect these groups while we await a high efficacy vaccine are desperately needed. Based on the capacity of BCG to (1) reduce the incidence of respiratory tract infections in children and adults; (2) exert antiviral effects in experimental models; and (3) reduce viremia in an experimental human model of viral infection, we hypothesize that BCG vaccination may induce (partial) protection against susceptibility to and/or severity of SARS-CoV-2 infection. This study will evaluate the efficacy of BCG to reduce risk of infection by SARS-CoV-2 and mitigate COVID-19 disease severity in at risk health care providers. A phase III randomized controlled trial provides the highest validity to answer this research question. Given the immediate threat of the SARS-CoV-2 epidemic the trial has been designed as a pragmatic study with a highly feasible primary endpoint, which can be continuously measured. This allows for the most rapid identification of a beneficial outcome that would allow other at-risk individuals, including the control population, to also benefit from the intervention if and as soon as it has demonstrated efficacy and safety.
