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.

The aim of the study is to determine the incidence o of SARS-cov2 infection among health care workers highly exposed to covid 19 during 10 weeks et to analyze the determinants of their occupational and environmental exposure. Every 14 days, we performed SARS-Cov2 RT- PCR, serological testing and clinical questionnaire among a cohort of 100 HCW with a high degree of exposure to covid19 infection. Information about occupational exposure as the workplace, the activity of care, the characteristics of patient infected are captured, as well as environmental or personal exposure. The results will support the design of a new care organization and will define new ways of protection for patients (covid or not covid 19) and prevention for HCW.

Introduction: The COVID-19 pandemic is characterized by significant morbidity and mortality. Treatments have been administered to patients with COVID-19 in order to control viral infection, among them: Hydroxychloroquine (HCQ), Lopinavir/Ritonavir (Lop/r), Remdesivir, Favipavir, Emtricitabine/ Tenofovir acting over bacterial co-infection Azithromycin (Azithro), or modifying the inflammatory response of the host (Tocilizumab, colchicine, dexamethasone, and by other mechanisms (rosuvastatin). Except for dexamethasone clinical trials offer conflicting evidence regarding the effectiveness and safety of therapies. Objective: Evaluate the effectiveness and safety of pharmacological therapies used to treat adult patients with COVID-19. Methods: Pragmatic randomized controlled trial. Study population: Adults aged 18 years or over with a positive real-time polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) or with high suspicion of Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome CoV-2 (SARS CoV-2) and diagnosis of mild, severe or critical pneumonia, requiring hospital management at six hospitals in Colombia. Exclusion criteria: Pregnancy, known allergy to treatment, cirrhosis or hepatic abnormality (transaminases greater than 5 reference values), glomerular filtration rate lesser than 30 ml/min/1.73m^2, history of lung fibrosis, advanced or metastatic cancer. A sample size was calculated from a sensitivity analysis with three scenarios: scenario 1 a total of 1,163 patients, that is, 291 per treatment arm with alpha of Alpha = 0.05; power 0.8; Prop1 = 0.2 and Prop2 = 0.1 (expected difference of 10%) and 10% of possible losses,scenario 2. With the previous parameters and with a Prop1 = 0.15 and Prop2 = 0.05 for a total of 814 patients (204 per arm of treatment). scenario 3. With Alpha = 0.1, Prop1 = 0.15 and Prop2 = 0.05, the other previous parameters, for a total of 686 patients (172 per treatment). in scenario 1 the study will be carried out in two phases. The first phase will be conducted with 400 participants and aims to identify treatments with higher or minimum potential, discontinue treatments with higher toxicity, and have the opportunity of introducing new treatments with potential efficacy. The second phase will be conducted with 1,163 participants to evaluate the effectiveness of the selected treatments. Four interventions have been defined: I1 Emtricitabine/ teneofovir , I2 Colchicine plus rosuvastatin, I3 Emtricitabine/ teneofovir plus Colchicine plus rosuvastatin and I4 standard treatment. Within each institution, participants will be randomly assigned to one of the treatment arms assigned to that institution. Concealment will be kept through software that maintain the assignment concealed until the random assignment is done . Treatment administration will be open. Variables: Sociodemographic and clinical at recruitment; (comorbidities, need for therapeutic support , grade of invasion at admission). Primary outcomes. Effectiveness: Mortality. Safety: Serious adverse events (AE) assessed by the NCI Community Oncology Research Program (NCORP) Guidance for Collection of Adverse Events Related to COVID-19 Infection. Secondary outcomes: Intensive care unit (ICU) admission, requirement of respiratory support, time to death, number of participants cured, any adverse event related to treatment. Analysis: Descriptive for the presentation of summary measures of the basal conditions by type of variable. Bivariate. Description of the basal conditions (with organic failure at admission, without failure at admission), by type of treatment, by participating institution. Description of crude effectiveness and safety by means of the difference of accumulated incidences, each one with 95% confidence intervals (95% CI) Intention to treat analyisis will be done. Adjusted analysis: The ratio and difference of cumulative incidences of mortality at 7 and 28 days and severe adverse events between treatments will be estimated, adjusting for confounding variables using logistic regression models with mixed effects considering each institution as a level or from equations. generalized estimation (GEE). On the other hand, as part of the pragmatic approach, the surface under cumulative ranking curve (SUCRA) will be calculated based on Bayesian theory to define which drug has the highest probability of being the most useful in the management of infection. Ethical considerations: The study has a risk beyond minimum according to the Resolution 8430/1993 of the Colombian Ministry of Health. Informed consent will be explained and signed if the patient is in condition to do so. This protocol will undergo evaluation by the ethics committee at each of the participating institutions and at the National University of Colombia. The protocol follows the Helsinki Declaration and institutional protocols for clinical investigation.

Hydroxychloroquine has been approved by FDA as one of the treatment options for COVID 19.Healthcare personnel are amongst those at highest risk to contract the disease. Several health authorities are now recommending the use of hydroxychloroquine as pre-exposure prophylaxis is in health care personnel. Several studies are on going in this context. However there is a controversy regarding the dosage regimen. This drug has a half life of 22.4 days. In this study we will be comparing three different doses of Hydroxychloroquine and additionally have a control group in order to determine the efficacy of hydroxychloroquine as pre- exposure prophylaxis in healthcare personnel in various doses.

A lot of people suffer from phobias. Phobias concerning certain diseases are not rare. This study will examine whether the COVID-19 (Coronavirus Disease) crisis was able to rise phobias in people and if those with preexisting phobias or fears were more likely to develop a phobia concerning COVID. It will look at different subtypes - physicians, medical staff, general public (not medically affiliated) and patients with psychiatric disorders.

There is very little data so far to determine whether people living with HIV (PLWHIV) are at greater risk of COVID-19 acquisition or severe disease. HIV infection is associated with deficiencies in both humoral and cell-mediated immunity that could potentially alter the course and severity of common infections. The investigators will study the correlation between clinical and immunovirological data. The singularity of this work is to have an in-depth immunovirological approach linked to the clinical characteristics in COVID-19 HIV co-infected patients. COVIDHIV is the only study to date to offer this combined approach in PLWHIV. This protocol is a historical and prospective cohort study of PLWHIV presenting COVID-19 The primary objectives are to describe the course of COVID-19 disease in patients infected with HIV

Novel coronavirus COVID-19 has become a health emergency around the world. Since first patients were detected in Wuhan China, in December 2019, COVID-19 has spread quickly worldwide, being a severe threat to public health. Fever, dry cough, shortness of breath and breathing distress are the main characteristics of COVID-19 infection. Some patients develop overwhelming lung inflammation and acute respiratory failure, for which there is no specific therapy. Therefore, safe and effective treatment for COVID-19 pneumonia is utterly necessary, mainly in critical cases. Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) have been widely used in the immune-mediated inflammatory diseases. MSCs can regulate both innate and adaptive immunity by suppressing the proliferation, differentiation and activation of different cells. These immunomodulatory properties of MSCs support performance of the phase I/II, placebo- controlled, randomized MSCs for treatment of severe COVID-19 pneumonia.
