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.

180 people from the medical staff and high-risk people in Baqiyatallah Hospital, who are in close contact with patients, will enter the study. Participants will be divided into two intervention groups and one control group. The control group will use the full protective equipment assigned to the treatment staff. In addition to protective equipment, the first intervention team will receive a daily diet of 200 mg hydroxychloroquine tablets. The second intervention team, while observing and using the complete protective equipment, will place a thin layer of Mucodentol gel in the vestibular area of the mouth daily, every 6 to 8 hours. At the beginning of the treatment, qualified people will participate in the study while recording demographic and clinical information, PCR test will be performed, and if they have negative PCR, they will be in one of the 3 study groups. During the study, if the symptoms of the disease occur in each of the participants, the test will be taken again. If the test is positive, the person will withdraw from the study, and the patient's information will be recorded. Finally, the people present in the study will be tested for PCR, and the results of the disease and the side effects of the drugs will be compared.

To date there is no brain imaging and olfactory data available in COVID-19 positive patients with anosmia. By describing the pathophysiological characteristics underlying the olfactory symptoms and clinical characteristics of COVID-19 infection, the study investigators wish to compare the MRI aspects obtained in COVID-19 patients with and without anosmia, in the absence of other underlying neurological disorders.
Gangnam Severance Hospital
There is no known definite treatment after exposure to SARS-CoV-2, but the some animal and clinical trials confirmed the efficacy of hydroxychloroquine (HCQ) or chloroquine against SARS-CoV-2. Thus, in this study, we aim to evaluate the efficacy and safety of hydroxychloroquine as post exposure prophylaxis for SARS-CoV-2. - Primary end point: comparison the rate of COVID-19 between PEP with HCQ and control group. - Secondary end point: Comparison of the rate of COVID-19 according to the contact level (time, place, degree of wearing personal protective equipment). - Safety comparison: Safety verification by identifying major side effects in the HCQ group."

The investigators plan to evaluate a strategy of chemoprophylaxis with hydroxyloquine (HCQ) against COVID-19 infection in patients diagnosed with an immunomediated inflammatory disease who are following a treatment with biological agents and / or Jak inhibitors. The strategy will be carried out through a randomised double blind, placebo-controlled clinical trial and will assess comparative rates of infection (prevalence, incidence), severity including mortality, impact on clínical course of the primary diseases and toxicity. Such evaluation will require prospective surveillance to assess the different end-points. Drug interventions in this protocol will follow the Spanish law about off-label use of medicines.

Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is a pandemic infection caused by a virus called severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). Because SARS-CoV-2 is known to require the angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE-2) receptor for uptake into the human body, there have been questions about whether medications that upregulate ACE-2 receptors might increase the risk of infection and subsequent complications. One such group of medications are anti-hypertensives that block the renin-angiotensin system, including both angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitors (ACEi) and angiotensin II receptor blockers (ARB). Both ACEi and ARB are widely used for the treatment of hypertension. Early reports from China and Italy suggest that many of those who die from COVID-19 have a coexisting history of hypertension. Consequently, there have been questions raised as to whether these 2 types of blood pressure medication might increase the risk of death among patients with COVID-19. However, it is well known that the prevalence of hypertension increases linearly with age. Therefore, it is possible that the high prevalence of hypertension and ACEi/ARB use among persons who die from COVID-19 is simply confounded by age (older people are at risk of both a history of hypertension and dying from COVID-19). Whether these commonly prescribed blood pressure medications increase the risk of COVID-19 or not remains unanswered. Statements from professional cardiology societies on both sides of the Atlantic have called for urgent research into this question. Our study aims to randomize patients with primary (essential) hypertension who are already taking ACEi/ARB to either switch to an alternative BP medication or continue with the ACEi/ARB that they have already been prescribed. Adults with compelling indications for ACEi/ARB will not be enrolled.

In December 2019, a pneumonia due to a novel coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2) emerged in the city of Wuhan, in China. In a few weeks, the number of confirmed cases of SARS-CoV-2 infection has dramatically increased, with almost 150'000 cases and more than 6'000 reported deaths on March, 16th 2020. Little is known on the rate of human-to-human transmission of this new coronavirus SARS-CoV-2 in the community and within the hospital. Depending on the country, contact subjects considered to be at high or moderate risk of SARS-CoV-2 are, either isolated at home for a period of time defined by the health authorities or, on the contrary, continue their professional activity on the condition that they adopt measures to prevent transmission to those around them. In most European countries, healthcare workers adopt this second option. In all cases, it is most often recommended that contact persons monitor their state of health and communicate it to the persons dedicated to this action. Whether such subjects become spreaders of the virus is not known, nor is the proportion of viral spreader who will develop a symptomatic infection. In this study, we aim to evaluate the virological and clinical outcomes of subjects following a contact at high/moderate risk of SARS-CoV-2 acquisition, in community-subjects and/or healthcare workers. The study population is represented by all subjects who had a contact with laboratory-confirmed SARS-CoV-2 cases and whose contact was considered to be at high/moderate risk of SARS-CoV-2 acquisition. This include both children and adult subjects, subject without social security, and healthcare workers.
