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.

This is a single-blind, parallel-group, randomized pilot study designed to evaluate and compare the efficacy of 3 different mouthwashes containing 0.2% Chlorhexidine digluconate, 1.5% Hydroxide peroxide or Cetylpyridinium chloride in reducing Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) viral load in the saliva of COVID-19 positive patients at different time-points. A convenient sample of up to 40 COVID-19 positive patients diagnosed via test and/or presenting COVID-19 clinical symptoms will be identified in the inpatients and/or outpatient clinics at the Newham University Hospital and at The Royal London Hospital, Barts Health National Health Service (NHS) Trust, United Kingdom (UK). The study will consist of one visit. Unstimulated saliva samples will be collected from all COVID-19 positive patients before and at 30 minutes, 1, 2, and 3 hours after mouth rinsing (Group 1-3 ) or no rinsing (Group 4). Viral load analysis of saliva samples in the different time-points will be then assessed by Reverse Transcription quantitative PCR (RT- qPCR).

Preoperative antiseptic mouth rinses have been widely used as a standard protocol before routine dental treatment reduces oral microorganism counts. During dental procedures, aerosolized microorganisms contaminate the dental environment and nearby surfaces and remain suspended for 4 hours. Thus, the reduction in the number of aerosolized microorganisms by pre-procedural rinsing may reduce cross-contamination between dentists, office personnel, and patients. Recent reviews have advocated the use of preoperative rinsing to control and reduce the risk of SARS-CoV-2 transmission. However, no clinical studies have been done yet to support the effectiveness of any pre-procedural oral rinses against SARS-CoV-2. The proposed study will mitigate the spread of COVID-19 disease in dental healthcare facilities and ensure the patients' good health and healthcare workers. The purpose of this clinical trial is to compare the efficacy of four commercially available mouth rinses povidone-iodine (PVP-I), hydrogen peroxide (H2O2), cetylpyridinium chloride (CPC), sodium hypochlorite (NaOCl) on the salivary SARS-CoV-2 viral load at four-time points (baseline and 5-, 30-, and 60-min post rinsing) relative to two control groups (distilled water and no-rinse) in a cohort of positive COVID-19 patients.

Rationale Many patients with coronavirus disease (COVID-19) need hospital admission for oxygen supplementation. A substantial number of patients need intensive care unit (ICU) admission for escalation of care. ICU doctors and nurses are struggling to provide the best care for patients with COVID-19. Practice of adjunctive and supportive treatments remains uncertain. Objective To determine and compare practice of adjunctive and supportive treatments for COVID-19 in the Netherlands, and to determine their independent associations with outcome. Hypotheses Practice of adjunctive and supportive treatments for COVID-19 varies substantially. Adjunctive and supportive treatments have an independent association with outcome in ICU patients with COVID-19. Study design National/international, multicenter, retrospective observational study. Study population Intensive care unit (ICU) patients with COVID-19. Methods In this study we will collect data on diverse treatments during the first 28 days in ICU, including (a) the types of oxygen support* and awake prone positioning; (b) the types of ventilatory support, (c) rescue therapies for refractory hypoxemia during invasive ventilation (prone positioning, ventilator adjustments, continuous muscle paralysis, and extracorporeal membrane oxygenation); (d) adjunctive treatments, including thromboprophylaxis and anticoagulation, antiviral and immunomodulating therapies, and (e) experimental supportive treatments. Outcomes include duration of each adjunctive treatment, duration of ventilation, incidence of tracheostomy, duration of stay in ICU and mortality until day 90. Study endpoints A combination of adjunctive treatments, including types of oxygen support, ventilatory support and rescue therapies for refractory hypoxemia during invasive ventilation (primary), other adjunctive and supportive treatments, tracheostomy rate; duration of ventilation and ventilator-free days and alive at day 28 (VFD-28), duration of ICU and hospital stay, and ICU, hospital and 90-day mortality. Nature and extent of the burden and risks associated with participation, benefit and group relatedness Retrospective collection of data regarding adjunctive treatments, and clinical endpoints is without risk for ICU patients. *In a subset of patients we will collect granular data (every two hours) regarding oxygenation (FiO2, inspiratory tidal volume, air flow, respiratory rate, SpO2, PaO2, and PEEP) over the first 2 full calendar days of ICU admission. The primary endpoint of this sub-analysis will be the amount of oxygen used with different respiratory support interventions. The statistical analysis plan for the analysis of these data that were collected in two ICUs that participated in the national study, and one additional ICU in Spain is uploaded in the document section (filename Statistical Analysis Plan PROXY-COVID)

During the COVID-19 (corona virus) pandemic the research arena has had to rapidly adapt and change in order to facilitate and deliver research. The UK (United Kingdom) government and Public Health England have stressed the importance of such research to find solutions to treating, preventing and stopping the spread of COVID-19. Due to national and international 'lock down restrictions' delivering research in care home settings has become even more challenging. The adaptations to conducting consultations have relied heavily on the use of technology, for example video calling, telephone, email, and teleconferencing. It is suggested that the use of technology in care home settings is already a barrier to effective research delivery. Nevertheless, as care home residents are a vulnerable group, it is critical to include these groups in research in order to enable improved and evidence-based care and their access to new and emerging treatments. This study aims to assess the opinions and experiences of key stakeholders to identify barriers, and enable better facilitation of research in these settings during and post pandemic.

The new coronavirus 2019 (COVID-19) was declared a pandemic by the World Health Organization (WHO), due to the alarming levels of spread, severity and inaction. Dealing with COVID-19 must be done on different fronts, such as mitigation, treatment and prevention. Therefore, strategies and therapies that can help reduce the COVID-19 rate of contamination are still important alternatives at this time of the pandemic. The Advanced Penetration Technology™ (APT™) is intellectual property owned by Patient Focused Tele-Health, LLC, a Rockwall, Texas based company. The company's focus is improving over-the-counter (OTC) topical formulations, allowing consumers better therapeutic outcomes with non-prescription medications. The Advanced Penetration Technology™ (APT™) is a patent-pending, proprietary transdermal dual carrier formulation. This formulation provides improved dermal penetration and efficacy of topical API's. Additionally, the APT™ imparts both a mechanical and biochemical effect on the microbe/fungal cell walls providing a highly effective method of destruction of microbes. These unique properties impart the broad spectrum anti-viral capability to the APT™ Tetracycline 3% formulation, breaking barriers in pharmacology and virology. The topical formulation APT™ Tetracycline 3% formulation (APT ™ T3X), is a FDA registered, Non-Prescription product. This formulation is used in an off label manner as an intranasal application for prevention of COVID-19 and other viruses. The APT™ T3X as a topical application will penetrate through and into the mucus layer and deeper. This barrier of coverage will provide a mitigation effect to decrease the viral load of exposure and infection. The efficacy of APT™ T3X is due to disrupting the lipid envelope in seconds, hence neutralizing the virus. Previous tests were performed with APT™ T3X and the results found were promising. However, these tests were performed only in vitro and clinical studies demonstrating the ability of the APT™ T3X to decrease viral exposure and contamination by COVID-19 are necessary to confirm the possible prophylactic effect, allowing the formulation to be widely distributed to the general population. Therefore, the aim of this project is to evaluate the efficacy of the APT™ T3X compared to placebo to decrease COVID-19 contamination rate in humans.
