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.

RACONA is a prospective trial that will test the hypothesis that nafamostat can lower lung function deterioration and need for intensive care admission in COVID-19 patients. Design: Adult hospitalized COVID-19 patients will be randomized in a prospective double-blind randomized placebo-controlled study to test the clinical efficacy of nafamostat mesylate (administered intravenously) on top of best standard of care. Primary outcome measures: the time-to-clinical improvement, defined as the time from randomization to an improvement of two points (from the status at randomization) on a seven category ordinal scale or live discharge from the hospital, whichever comes first.

The number of confirmed cases of COVID-19 infectious disease arising from the SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus is rising substantially and rapidly, with the potential to overwhelm the ability of the entire National Health Service (NHS) to cope with the increased demand. The availability of personal protective equipment is limited and reports of high risk procedures such as aerosol generating procedures (e.g. intubation for the sickest patients) is a source of great concern for infection transmission. Frontline NHS staff with direct patient contact have the highest likelihood of exposure to SARS-CoV-2 and development of COVID-19 disease. Efforts to protect these workers from development of COVID-19, using drugs to prevent the disease, require urgent evaluation.

According to recent publications, the percentage of caregivers infected with COVID 19 is evaluated between 10 and 30% . This great variability is due, on the one hand to the intensity of the influx of covid plus patients and, on the other hand, to the disparity in the preparation of caregivers in the face of this emergency. Indeed, we can understand that the strict application of hygiene rules can be faulted in the face of the volume of patients, the lack of protective equipment and the lack of specific training for caregivers in this area. As a result, within healthcare teams, there are many questions that generate anxiety: will I be able to provide care properly while protecting myself from the risk of contamination? This anxiety is also present and sometimes manifests itself aggressively in the entourage or in the vicinity of caregivers, due to lack of scientific data adapted to the local ecology of the crisis. Thus, the aim of this study is to show that the risk for caregivers of being contaminated by COVID in an area dedicated to COVID positive patients is no higher than being a caregiver in a non-COVID area that he either in the adult or pediatric sector.

Experimental Use of Convalescent Plasma of Passive Immunisation In Current COVID-19 Pandemic in Pakistan in 2020 Rationale & Objective: This study would help to gather real-life setting clinical data in local population, ultimately leading to increased evidence based management of the disease condition in the said population. Eligibility: 1. informed consent must have been obtained 2. confirmed COVID-19 cases confirmed by RT-PCR laboratory tests 3. moderately severe or severe life-threatening COVID-19 related features: a) Moderately Severe disease as defined by the following features: i) Shortness of breath, ii) respiratory rate ≥ 30/min, iii) arterial blood oxygen saturation ≤ 92%, iv) and/or lung infiltrates > 25% within 24 to 48 hours 67 b) Severe Life-threatening disease as defined by: i) respiratory failure, ii) shock, and/or § multiple organ dysfunction Exclusion Criteria: Allergy history of plasma, sodium citrate and methylene blue; 2. For patients with history of autoimmune system diseases or selective IgA deficiency, 3. the application of convalescent plasma should be evaluated cautiously by clinicians. 4. Patients having evidence of uncontrolled cytokine release syndrome leading to end-stage multiorgan failure. Methodology: Total sample size is n=2000. A case report form (CRF) will have to be generated for each corona virus patient at baseline and the completion of study endpoint (at the time of discharge and at 4 weeks after experimental treatment modality using convalescent plasma. - A unique identification number will be issued for each patient in this protocol. - This data will be recorded in the national database. Data sources & Analysis: Patient data originating from patient medical record and assessments (mentioned in table below) will be recorded in the study CRF. Safety data (AEs and SAEs) from any time point during the study will be recorded in the study CRF. All analyses will be performed by third party statistician on SPSS. For continuous variables, summary statistics included n (number of observations), mean, standard deviation, median, minimum and maximum values, as well as frequencies and percentages for categorical variables will be presented.

Since December 2019 the world has been shaken with an enormous global threat: the Covid-19 pandemic. This new kind of coronavirus is generating an unprecedented impact both on the general population and on the healthcare systems in most countries. Health services are trying to expand their capacity to respond to the pandemic, taking actions such as increasing the number of beds; acquiring necessary equipment to provide intensive therapy (ventilators), and calling retired health professionals and health students so they can assist the overwhelmed health care workforce. Unfortunately, these organizational changes at health facilities, along with the fears and concerns of becoming ill with the virus or infecting their families, put an enormous emotional burden on workers in health services which may lead to negative outcomes on mental health in this population. Recent cross-sectional studies in China indicate that health service workers exposed to people with Covid-19 reported higher rates of depressive and anxious symptoms. This negative impact on mental health among health workers in China has also been informally reported in other countries where the Covid-19 pandemic has been devastating in its effects (such as Spain and Italy), as well as in countries where the pandemic is becoming a growing public health problem. This is particularly relevant in regions with fewer resources (Latin America, North Africa), where there are limited means and the response from the health system is usually insufficient. Moreover, it is necessary to study these negative effects longitudinally considering that some effects will appear over time (post-traumatic stress). The COVID-19 HEalth caRe wOrkErS (HEROES) study is a large, bottom-up, South-North initiative aimed to evaluate the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the mental health of health care workers (HCWs). HEROES encompasses a wide variety of academic institutions in 19 LMICs and 8 HICs, in partnership with the Pan American Health Organization (PAHO) and with support from the World Health Organization (WHO). The HEROES study is led by Dr. Rubén Alvarado at University of Chile, and Dr. Ezra Susser and Franco Mascayano at Columbia U Mailman School of Public Health.

This is a double-blinded, randomized placebo-controlled trial to determine if pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) with 400mg hydroxychloroquine (HCQ), taken orally once daily, for health care workers in the hospital reduces symptomatic and asymptomatic COVID-19 disease during the pandemic. 374 health care workers will be randomized at a 1:1 allocation between the intervention and placebo arms and followed for 90 days. The cumulative incidence of COVID-19 infection in the intervention group will be compared to the cumulative incidence of COVID-19 in the placebo group with relative (risk ratio and 95% CI) and absolute measures (risk difference and 95% CI).
