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.

Brazil has the Latin America's largest coronavirus outbreak, numbers second only to the United States in the western hemisphere. The first COVID-19 confirmed case in Brazil was on February of 2020. A 61yrs old man tested positive after returning from a trip to Italy. Few other very first cases were also imported from Europe by returning travelers. The first locally transmitted case was registered on March of 2020, when a total of 8 cases have already been confirmed. At the time the WHO declares the outbreak as a pandemic (March 11) Brazil had 52 confirmed cases being 6 of those locally transmitted. Healthcare professionals are now more important than ever. Given the intrinsic nature of the hands-on treatment of the Chiropractic profession, it is extremely important to understand what strategies chiropractors have put in place to address patient care, safety, and self report COVID contamination of those professionals.

Background: Based on data from the 2003 SARS-COVID pandemic, other serious lung infections, and patients with respiratory distress, it is estimated that 10-30% of patients with severe SARS-COVID-2 pneumonia may present as a sequel an organized pneumonia. The treatment of this complication is not well defined. The use of oral corticosteroids is mandatory to avoid a possible evolution to pulmonary fibrosis, however, the doses to be administered and the duration of treatment are unknown as there is no study specifically aimed at solving this doubt. Many authors advocate high-dose treatment regimens for a minimum of six months, as proposed for cryptogenic organized pneumonia. However, there is a question whether in non-idiopathic cases of organized pneumonia, less intense treatment could resolve the disease. Hypothesis: The use of a less intensive prednisone regimen may be sufficient for therapeutic control in patients with post-COVID-19 organizing pneumonia, in relation to the established standard regimen Simplicity of the procedures: The objective of the NORCOVID study is to identify the optimal treatment regimen with corticosteroids in post-COVID19 patients diagnosed with NO. Specifically, the primary objective of this multicenter randomized trial is to evaluate whether treatment with a less intensive regimen of corticosteroids produces a non-inferior therapeutic effect than the established control regimen. Secondary objectives are to evaluate the effect of treatment on secondary efficacy variables and on safety. DLCO, respiratory function tests, 6MWT test, need for rescue, radiological tests, complications, mortality and the WHO ordinal scale will be evaluated.

To evaluate the safety and efficacy of the use of inhalational heparin in patients with pulmonary compromise / pneumonia / SARS associated with COVID-19, laboratory with marked inflammation parameters, and prothrombotic state secondary to it (Fibrinogen, Ferritin and / or elevated D-Dimer) , from admission to hospitalization. The combination of inhalation heparin combined with prophylactic doses of LMWH could reduce the progression to severe forms of the disease, and consequently the need for intensive care units and mechanical ventilation.

Randomized, double-blind (blinded for the trial subject and the study physician), placebo controlled, multi-center clinical trial in parallel assignment of efficacy, immunogenicity, and safety of the Gam-COVID-Vac combined vector vaccine against the SARS-CoV-2-induced coronavirus infection in adults in the SARS-СoV-2 infection prophylactic treatment.

The COVID virus is acquired through droplet and micro droplet transmission. Although healthcare workers must adhere to strict up-to-date clinical procedures to minimize exposure to the virus and avoid contamination, the assumption that everyone can precisely remember every step is improbable as many of these procedures are quite complex and involve multiple steps in stressful situations. Further the use of a trained safety officer to ensure adherence is not always feasible due to the ever growing demand of healthcare providers. Investigators propose to utilize the Amazon Alexa device and Alexa Skills application to develop a voice enabled virtual assistant to guide healthcare professionals through the exact steps of clinical procedures including the donning and doffing of PPE, intubation and extubation procedures. Methods A total of 10 staff anesthesiologists will be recruited to participate in phase 1 of the study to evaluate the utility and functionality of this VA device. A total of 40 healthcare professionals will be recruited to participate in phase 2 of the study. Anesthesia providers (staff and fellows), anesthesia assistants, respiratory assistants and operating room nurses will be randomized to receive instructional guidance by the VA on one test occasion and a human coach on another occasion. During this phase of the study, the effectiveness of this VA prototype will be compared with a trained human safety officer / coach in its ability to provide instructional guidance for 4 safety and clinical procedures: 1) proper donning of personal protective equipment (PPE); 2) doffing of PPE; 3) intubation (putting in a breathing tube) and 4) extubation (taking out a breathing tube).
