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.

This is an open label randomized controlled clinical trial which was designed to confirm the potential efficacy and safety of favipiravir in the management of patients with mild to moderate COVID-19 compared to best supportive care.

We aim to study if metabolic intensity and extent according to pathologic pulmonary 18F-2-fluoro-2-deoxy-D-glucose (FDG)-uptake may correlate with the course of COVID-19 pneumonia and potentially yield prognostic value. Moreover, we aim to assess permanent changes after Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection, such as pulmonary fibrosis and neuropsychiatric symptoms (anosmia, depression, fatigue) where evaluation with FDG-positron emission tomography (PET/CT) might have an impact on further patient care.

The study aims to evaluate if the early prone-positioning in awake patients with mild Covid-19 pneumonia can reduce the need of high-flow oxygen-therapy, invasive or non-invasive ventilation and prevent the worsening of clinical conditions. Patients will be randomized on a 1:1 ratio and stratified based on the onset of symptoms (10 days) and need of oxygen therapy (no need; need). One branch of patients (interventional) will undergo standard of care treatment + prone-positioning cycles, the other one (controll) will undergo standard of care treatment alone. Patients will be evaluated evaluated on the day of the enrolment, on day 1, day 3, day 7 and every 7 days until the patient dismissal or until day 28 (whichever occurs first). Adverse events and concurrent medications will be noted as well. The analysis will be conducted according to "intention to treat" criteria; primary outcomes will be calculated using survival-based methods.

The COVID-19 pandemic has presented considerable challenges to global health services and dictates almost every aspect of medical practice and policy. The menopausal transition may have significant consequences for respiratory health as COVID 19 symptoms subsides, lung function testing should be done to assess the consequences of this virus on lung health especially in menopausal woman.

With the aging of today's population, stroke is the top three causes of disability and death among people over the age of 60 in the world. About 5.5 million people die each year from strokes in Taiwan, and Taiwan's top ten causes of death in cerebrovascular disease rank fourth in the world. Constipation is the most common complication of stroke patients and increases the risk of brain damage and re-stroke. Although the clinical use of drugs can relieve intestinal symptoms, there is also a risk of potential side effects. The systematic literature points out that the use of acupoint stimulation can improve spontaneous bowel movements and promote bowel motility, but there is no conclusion on effective acupuncture points. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to improve the constipation of patients with stroke by non-invasive and precise acupoint care. This study used a single-blind randomized control trial. The neurosurgery ward of a medical center in the north was used as the research site, and patients with ischemic stroke were used as the research objects. The experimental group received precision acupoint care, and the control group received routine care. The questionnaire was used to collect basic patient information (basic attributes, disease care and TCM constitution), and gut-related assessments. Data analysis was performed using IBM SPSS 22.0 software for descriptive statistical analysis and inferential statistical analysis, and p

This study aims to gain more insight in the immunological characteristics and immune response on a local level (the nose) and systemic level (the blood) of healthy people vaccinated with the current available COVID-19 messenger ribonucleic acid (mRNA; BNT162b2) and viral vector based (ChAdOx1) vaccines.

The syndrome characterized by the persistence of symptoms typical of COVID-19, beyond 4 weeks after discharge, is called long COVID. Long COVID affects a high percentage of patients who have suffered from COVID-19, regardless of its severity. The various symptoms present in that patients affect the functionality and physical, mental and psychological capacities of patients. Therefore, it is necessary to implement therapeutic programs, based on exercises and techniques of physiotherapy, to help affected people to resume their work, family, social and sports activities; prior to illness. Given the context in which these programs must be developed, telecare is positioned as the most recommended care method to carry out the rehabilitation of these patients. The general objective of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of a cardiorespiratory tele-rehabilitation program in persistent COVID-19 patients. Study participants (n=60) will be randomly assigned to one of two intervention groups. Group 1 will combine breathing exercises with aerobic exercise: walk; and group 2 will perform functional exercises in addition to respiratory physiotherapy with. All participants will be evaluated at the beginning of the intervention, at the end of it.

The health care system was completely overwhelmed by the SARS-Cov-2 virus, and ICU admissions soared as a result of the ICU doctors' increased workload. A committed crew inserts invasive line procedures to guarantee a secure and efficient performance. When COVID-19 bound patients were followed up on in the second wave, frequent requests for arterial line placement were noted. These critically ill individuals had high rates of thrombosis, which was linked to thrombotic consequences. Many factors, such as patient morbidities, insertion technique, and operational health care trained personnel's qualifications, contribute to the lowering of arterial line patency. Our ICU management committee approved the use of systemic anticoagulation of ICU admitted patients starting on March 21, 2021 in response to an increase in the incidence of thrombosis and pulmonary embolic events in patients with COVID-19 admitted to the ICU in the second wave of the epidemic.

In the course of Coronavirus Disease-19 (COVID-19) uncontrolled inflammation has been related to disease severity and unfavorable outcomes. Here, the investigators study the longitudinal changes of pro- and anti-inflammatory markers in a population of patients undergoing maintenance hemodialysis (HD) affected by COVID-19, evaluating the potential modulating effects of two different dialysis approaches
