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.

Since the COVID-19 pandemic began, several psychological support programs for health care workers have been implemented, especially group or individual counseling sessions delivered face-to-face or using phones and video conferencing platforms. However, there are significant barriers to the delivery of such psychological initiatives. In this context, digital interventions to improve health services and care outcomes are recommended for implementing and providing remote psychological support. Virtual reality can play a relevant role in providing psychological care to healthcare workers facing COVID-19. New commercial head-mounted display have made virtual reality accessible even to the mass audience, breaking down the barriers in the diffusion and use of this technology. Thanks to this fact, virtual reality can now be autonomously used by people and offered to provide psychological assistance remotely. Within this context, this randomized controlled study aims to investigate the efficacy of a virtual reality home-based program for diminishing stress and anxiety in a sample of Italian healthcare workers involved in the COVID-19 pandemic.

The coronavirus disease (COVID-19) epidemic represents a major therapeutic challenge. The highly contagious severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-COV-2) and the long duration of the disease have led to a massive influx of patients admitted in health services and intensive care units. To current knowledge, there is no treatment yet that that can prevent infection from SARS-COV-2 virus, nor the disease progression to a severe form. Daily active smokers are rare among outpatients or hospitalized COVID-19 patients. Several arguments suggest that nicotine could be responsible for this protective effect thank to the nicotinic acetylcholine receptor (nAChR). Based on epidemiological data and experimental data from scientific literature, we hypothesize that nicotine could inhibit the penetration and spread of the virus and improve the management of COVID19 , particularly in hospitalized patients to prevent adverse outcomes (death, transfer to intensive care unit, care limitation, mechanical ventilation an high flow oxygen).

COVID-19 is a viral respiratory and systemic disease that has been rapidly spreading globally since the first cases were reported in December 2019 and has now become pandemic. The causative agent of COVID-19 was identified as a novel coronavirus named severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2, first designated as 2019-nCoV). The disease manifestations of COVID-19 can range from mild, self-resolving respiratory disease to severe pneumonia, ARDS, multiorgan failure, and ultimately death. In early reports, the mortality rate among patients admitted to hospital and with confirmed SARS-CoV-2 infection was reported to be between 4 and 15%. Although the disease can afflict all age groups, elderly patients and patients with underlying comorbidities such as high body mass index, hypertension, diabetes, cardiovascular disease, or cerebrovascular disease are at risk of developing severe disease and dying. There are currently no etiologic treatments for COVID-19, and efforts are underway to identify therapeutics that could be effective in controlling this disease.

The objective of the study is to identify socio-demographic factors, behaviors and practices associated with infection with SARS-CoV-2 to help determine where and how patients mostly get infected with SARS-CoV-2. It is a case-control study including : - cases identified by the nationwide system of positive SARS-CoV-2 tests (COVID-19 diagnosis information system, SIDEP) (currently limited to qRT-PCR) and invited to participate by the National Health Insurance (CNAM) which hosts the data from the nationwide test system; - controls included via Ipsos, a polling institute with access to personal data from a panel from which they will include controls matched on age (divided into 10-year categories), gender and geographic area (departement); - cases will be offered to invite a person they live with to participate in the study offering another case-control analysis inside a household. These participants will be required to report the result of the test as recommended by contact tracing guidelines to determine whether they are cases or controls. Data will be collected via a self-administered online questionnaire. Some of the participants will be called for a complementary telephone questionnaire to measure reliability of online retrieved data and explore more specific aspects of SARS-CoV-2 transmission.

The overall objective of the study is to determine the therapeutic effect and tolerance of Camostat mesylate, compared to placebo in adult patients with ambulatory COVID-19 disease, presenting with risk factors of severe COVID-19. Camostat mesylate is a serine protease TMPRSS2 (Transmembrane Serine Protease 2) inhibitor which has been successfully and safely used to treat pancreatitis-associated pain and post-operative reflux oesophagitis in Japan. More recently, it has been shown to inhibit SARS-CoV-2 viral entry and reduce infection of human primary pneumocytes and lung cell lines. Camostat mesylate or placebo will be administered to consenting adult patients with virologically confirmed COVID-19, not requiring initial hospitalization. All patients will receive standard of care along with randomized treatments. Outcomes of included patients will be compared between the 2 groups.

SARS-CoV-2 is a member of a class of viruses: angiotensin converting enzyme 2 (ACE2)-binding viruses that study calls "ABVs". The World Health Organization (WHO) and others are performing randomized controlled trials (RCTs) of vaccines and novel antivirals to address SARS-CoV-2 directly. However, the critical illness complications of COVID-19 are caused in part by SARS-CoV-2's binding and inhibiting ACE2 and the consequent host response. ACE 2 is the receptor for H1N1, H5N1, and SARS-CoV-2. After binding ACE2, SARS-CoV-2 is endocytosed, and surface ACE2 is down-regulated, increasing angiotensin II (ATII a potent vasoconstrictor) in COVID-19. The original ARBs limits lung injury in murine influenza H7N9 and decreases viral titre and RNA. Study has a unique opportunity to complement vaccine and anti-viral RCTs with an RCT modulating the host response using an angiotensin II type 1 receptor blocker (ARBs) to decrease the mortality of hospitalized COVID-19 patient.
