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.

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.

The COVID-19 pandemic affects eating habits, diet quality and physical activity differently among individuals; it is unclear how these behaviours will evolve as the pandemic continues. In this observational study, dietary intake will be frequently collected using an artificial intelligence (AI)-enhanced mobile application combined with real-time analysis, and lifestyle behaviours from online questionnaires, to provide timely, relevant data for public health decision making.
Istinye University
The aim of this study is to evaluate the knowledge level of healthcare professionals such as physicians, nurses, physiotherapists and nutritionist about published COVID-19 guidelines. The listed healthcare workers are take part in the primary treatment of the Corona virus infected patients in hospitals. Therefore the knowledge of the world wide spreading Corona Virus and its effects for the human being is should be known for the effective treatment and for raising public awareness.

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."

As of February 17th, 2020, China has 70635 confirmed cases of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), including 1772 deaths. Human-to-human spread of virus via respiratory droplets is currently considered to be the main route of transmission. The number of patients increased rapidly but the impact factors of clinical outcomes among hospitalized patients are still unclear.

Management of known patients with cardiovascular disease (in particular the whole spectrum of atherosclerotic ischaemic coronary artery disease, essential hypertension under treatment, and also patients with chronic heart failure under medication) and with other associated chronic pathologies, with obvious effects on the management of the pandemic with modern / distance means (e-Health) of patients at high risk of mortality in contact with coronavirus. Given the Covid-19 Pandemic, all the above complex cardiovascular patients are under the obligation to stay in the house isolated and can no longer come to standard clinical and paraclinical monitoring and control visits. Therefore, a remote management solution (tele-medicine) of these patients must be found. The Investigators endeavour is to create an electronic platform to communicate with these patients and offer solutions for their cardiovascular health issues (including psychological and religious problems due to isolation). The Investigators intend to create this platform for communicating with a patient and stratify their complaints in risk levels. A given specialist will sort and classify their needs on a scale, based on specific algorithms (derived from the clinical European Cardiovascular Guidelines), and generate specific protocols varying from 911 like emergencies to cardiological advices or psychological sessions. These could include medication changing of doses, dietary advices or exercise restrictions. Moreover, in those patients suspected of COVID infection, special assistance should be provided per protocol.

This is a multi-center, randomized controlled, superiority, open label trial. The objective of this trial is to evaluate the efficacy of HCQ in patients with newly diagnosed COVID-19 who have mild to moderate disease or at risk for complications. We aim to demonstrate decrease in progression to severe pneumonia and hospital related complications among patients who are treated with HCQ compared to patients who are not.

The novel coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS CoV-2) has been discovered recently in December 2019 from wuhan city in China to spread in more than 40 countries allover the world. This disease has gain the attention of all nations after it has been stated as a pandemic by the World Health Organization (WHO) in March 12, 2020. Currently no treatment has been proved to be efficient in the treatment of infected patients by COVID-19. Natural honey has been demonstrated as potent antimicrobial in many research investigations and has been considered a good alternative for antiviral drugs for the treatment of some viral infections. The investigators aim to study the efficacy of natural honey in the treatment of COVID-19 patients in this randomized , multicenter, controlled trial, comparing honey in one arm to standard care in the other arm.

The COVID-19 pandemic, commonly referred to as "coronavirus", first began in the city of Wuhan, China in December 2019. This virus has since spread globally, with infections reported in nearly every country. COVID-19 targets the body's respiratory system, where infections can be found in the nose, throat and lungs. The effect of COVID-19 infection is very variable, where many people might not know that they have been infected and have recovered from COVID-19. However, COVID-19 infection can cause people to have difficulty breathing. This can be severe enough to require hospitalisation and potentially intensive care treatment. While they are being treated in hospital, COVID-19 infected patients can be found to have inflamed tissue in their lungs (referred to medically as "pneumonitis"). This inflammation is thought to be caused by their body's immune systems overacting to the infection rather than the COVID-19 virus itself. By potentially dampening down this overreaction of their immune system, it is hoped that COVID-19 patients with inflamed lungs have better and quicker chance to survive. Mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs) have been shown to have anti-inflammatory and healing properties on injured tissue. MSCs have been trialled in various diseases but have not yet been tested on patients with COVID-19. In this study, the investigators will obtain bone marrow from healthy volunteers to develop a cell-based treatment for COVID-19-related pneumonitis. The investigators will also determine whether it is feasible to recruit bone marrow donors in a clinically useful timeframe to treat COVID-19 patients. A future trial, COMET20, will use the bone marrow-derived MSCs (BM-MSCs) manufactured in COMET20d to treat COVID-19 patients suffering with pneumonitis, to determine whether the BMMSCs can reduce the likelihood for mechanical ventilation and reduce hospitalisation.
