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.

Description of the neurological impairment: clinico-radiological and electrophysilogical correlations
Hospices Civils de Lyon
The actual COVID-19 epidemy is an unprecedented healthcare problem. Although acute respiratory distress syndrome is the main organ failure, acute kidney injury (AKI) has appeared to be more frequent and more severe than expected. Some data suggested a potential direct renal tropism of the virus, or undirect injury by "cytokine storm". The aims of this study are: 1. To describe incidence, severity and mortality associated with AKI during covid-19 infection in ICU 2. To identify specific risk factors for AKI 3. To explore pathophysiologic mechanism of AKI during COVID-19 infection

Data show that the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) symptoms can be severe in 4% and 3% of the adolescents aged 11-15 years and ≥ 16 years, respectively. In addition, the prevalence of chronic diseases among adolescents has increased in the last years. About 20% of the adolescents have some chronic disease, resulting in increased morbidity and mortality. In march, 2020, the quarantine was officially implemented in Sao Paulo, while elective medical appointments for adolescents with chronic disease were temporarily suspended. To mitigate the deleterious effect of the social isolation on physical and mental health among these patients, this study aims to test the effects of an online, home-based, exercise training program.

SAR-Cov-2 infection and its clinical manifestation known as COVID-19 beside the respiratory and lung involvement may include the cardiovascular system, the nervous system and the liver. In the acute phase of the disease, all of these conditions may be life-threatened. As a result, after the acute phase of COVID-19, early complications may be observed, including heart, lungs, brain, muscles and liver. A few papers to date have been reported of myocarditis, ventricular arrhythmias, post-inflammatory changes in the lung and liver, as well as ischemic changes in the brain, diseases of skeletal muscle, which may have adverse prognostic effects. Due to the extent of the pandemic, the severity of the complications and the expected high complications' prevalence in the early post-recovery period, a study was designed to determine the extent of the problem of early complications after COVID-19. Complex cardiological, pulmonary, neurological and hepatological diagnostics are planned, including laboratory, imaging and functional tests. The results obtained, in addition to determining the scale of the problem, will allow the selection of studies that optimally identify patients with early complications. The purpose of this procedure is to enable rapid treatment of diseases that are complications of SARS-COV-2 infection. An additional aspect raised in the project will be the issue of psychiatric disorders (anxiety, depression, post traumatic disorders). The main three purposes of the study include: 1. the assessment of prevalence of particular complications after COVID-19. 2. identification of the demographic and clinical risk factors of COVID-19 complications 3. determining the diagnostic tests which are sufficient to detect early complications of COVID-19

SARS-CoV-2 or COVID-19 is representing the major global burden that implicated more than 10 million infected cases and 500 thousand deaths worldwide. The prevalence of this pandemic disease is expected to rise every day. The challenge is to control its rapid spread meanwhile looking for a specific treatment to improve patient outcomes. Hesperidin is a classical herbal medicine used worldwide for a long time with an excellent safety profile. Hesperidin is a well-known herbal medication used as an antioxidant and anti-inflammatory agent. Available shreds of evidence support the promising use of hesperidin in prophylaxis and treatment of COVID 19. Herein, we discuss the possible prophylactic and treatment mechanisms of hesperidin based on previous and recent findings. Hesperidin can block coronavirus from entering host cells through ACE2 receptors which can prevent the infection. Anti-viral activity of hesperidin might constitute a treatment option for COVID-19 through improving host cellular immunity against infection and its good anti-inflammatory activity may help in controlling cytokine storm. Hesperidin mixture with diosmin co-administrated with heparin protect against venous thromboembolism which may prevent disease progression. Based on that, hesperidin might be used as a meaningful prophylactic agent and a promising adjuvant treatment option against SARS-CoV-2 infection.
Central Hospital, Nancy, France
Coronavirus infection is responsible for muscle wasting (sarcopenia), especially during prolonged stays in intensive care. Sarcopenia, in its functional aspect also seems major in patients hospitalized for this infection, in non-ICU unit. Weight loss also appears to be significant, despite a prevalence of overweight and obesity in severe forms. Undernutrition in the obese patient is also possible (undernourished obese and sarcopenia obesity). Anosmia and dysgeusia participate in undernutrition by reducing energy intake. The rehabilitation of these patients requires nutritional support (increased protein intake) associated with progressive retraining to physical activity. An early and proactive management procedure within Coronavirus disease-19 units has been implemented in conjunction with the Transversal Nutrition Unit (TNU). This nutritional care must be continued after discharge. Follow-up by teleconsultation or telephone consultation is put in place after the patient's discharge Primary Objective: Evaluation of nutritional status at the time of admission and discharge and home follow-up in outgoing patients from Coronavirus disease-19 Units Secondary objectives: Description of the evolution of food intake, diversity of food and coverage of needs Evaluation of the muscular strength of the wrist (by grip test in hospital) and on the arms and legs after return home (visual analog scale) Evolution of anosmia and dysgeusia (at the time of hospital admission, at the time of hospital discharge and at home) Level of physical training before infection (IPAQ) Description of the general state of health measured by the performance index - world health organization scale Description of nutritional prescriptions Description of the prevention measures and incidence of Inappropriate Refeeding Syndrome (IRS) Care needs assessments
