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.

It is an established fact that, corona virus spread through the respiratory droplets. Colonization of the virus in oropharynx and/or nasopharynx is considered to be major factor for transmissibility of the virus through respiratory secretions. Preventing colonization of the virus by administrating povidone iodine in the nasal passage therefore, a rational thought which is supported by recent evidence of in-vitro virucidal action of povidone iodine in Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome-Coronavirus 2 (SARS CoV-2). Therefore, the study is designed to assess the virucidal effect of povidone iodine on COVID-19 virus in-vivo.This open label randomized clinical trial will be conducted at Department of Otorhinolaryngology and Head Neck Surgery, in collaboration with Department of Virology and Department of Medicine in Dhaka Medical College (DMC) Hospital. The study will be conducted from September 2020 to October 2020. Total 175 confirmed cases of COVID-19 disease, proven by Reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) testing will be enrolled in this study. Written informed consent will be ensured before participation. In case of no literacy, finger print will be considered for written permission.Consent will be sought from the legal guardian in case of minor or underaged.Formal ethical clearance will be taken from Ethical Review Committee (ERC) of Dhaka Medical College. All of the Participants will be divided into seven groups: Group A will receive Povidone iodine (PVP-I) nasal irrigation at concentration of 0.4%, Group B and Group C will received 0.5% and 0.6%; Group D will receive PVP-I nasal spray at concentration of 0.5% and Group E will received at 0.6% concentration. Group F (Placebo comparator group) will receive nasal irrigation by distilled water (DW) and Group G (Placebo comparator group) will received nasal spray by distilled water. The contact time will be minimum 30 seconds. After the individual application of PVP-I and distilled water in respective participant, they will be tested again for RT-PCR for COVID-19 from nasopharyngeal and oropharyngeal sample. All patients will be subjected to detail history, physical examination and adverse events. Block Randomization will be followed for randomization. Data will be recorded in a semi-structured questionnaire and will be analyzed by 'R-4.0.2' data analysis software

This protocol will serve as a platform for assessing treatments for adult patients hospitalized for medical management of COVID-19 without related serious end-organ failure. Trials will involve sites around the world strategically chosen to ensure rapid enrollment. This trial will compare hyperimmune intravenous immunoglobulin (hIVIG) with matched placebo, when added to standard of care (SOC), for preventing further disease progression and mortality related to COVID-19. SOC will include remdesivir unless it is contraindicated for an individual patient.

Plasma, the supernatant part of blood, contains a variety of different proteins, including immunoglobulins. These proteins, also called antibodies, are directed to previous foreign infecting organisms, such as virus, bacteria or parasites. Patients recovering from SARS-Cov-2 infection may develop protective antibodies which can prevent reinfection with the same agent or similar organisms with shared molecular structures. Those antibodies may be transferred to other patients through collection of such convalescent plasma from recovered donors and its transfusion to ill patients. In this research, the primary hypothesis is that those antibodies can exert passive immunization and help ameliorate symptoms from COVID-19 (Coronavirus Disease 2019), resulting in higher clinical improvement rates at day 28, especially when administered early in the infection course.

This study aims to determine if a strategy of recommending prone (on stomach) positioning of patients positive or suspected positive for coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) requiring supplemental oxygen, but not mechanically ventilated, Is feasible in the inpatient setting. This study will be performed as a pragmatic pilot clinical trial to gain information relevant to the future conduct of a larger trial.

In late 2019, a novel coronavirus, SARS-CoV-2, was identified as the causative agent of a cluster of pneumonia cases (COVID-19) in Wuhan, China. Clinical symptoms of COVID-19 may be mild or severe. The location where a person will self-isolate will be determined by their healthcare provider and their health authority. When determining the location, several factors to determine the suitability of the home setting are described as the case should stay in a room of their own so that they can be isolated from other household members. The rapid increase and evolution of modern mobile applications for communication and messaging for personal purposes have proved great benefit in healthcare management

The main manifestation of COVID-19 is acute hypoxemic respiratory failure (AHRF). In patients with AHRF, the need for invasive mechanical ventilation is associated with high mortality. Prone positioning (PP) is a recommended strategy for patients with moderate to severe acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) undergoing invasive mechanical ventilation. Early PP combined with High Flow Oxygen Therapy may benefit spontaneous breathing patients with AHRF due to COVID-19 as recently reported in Jiangsu. Our hypothesis is that early PP combined with High Flow Oxygen Therapy in patients with AHRF due to COVID-19 improves oxygenation.

According to the ongoing observational studies and the Chinese Medicine practice guideline for COVID-19 patients, the discharged patients with COVID-19 still exhibits certain clinical symptoms such as fatigue, poor appetite, short of breath, palpation, and poor sleep, which could be recognized as two main Patterns in Chinese Medicine, Qi Deficiency of Lung and Spleen and Qi & Yin Deficiency. Based on this, pulmonary rehabilitation to improve lung function upon discharged was proposed. Therefore, even patients with COVID-19 were discharged from hospitals, there are symptoms with significant clinical syndromes in Chinese Medicine perspectives. These symptoms, in terms of syndrome, which could link with the body constitutions, could be due to pre-COVID-19 infection, suffering from infection, or a consequence of post-infection. This observational study is a rehabilitation programme to elucidate i) whether body constitution is linking with the infection of COVID-19; ii) whether TCM can help the recovery of discharged COVID-19 patients.

By using recent data on hospital attendance and COVID-19 laboratory tests, available within two NHS trusts in Nottingham and Cardiff we will enable the calculation of the risk of developing COVID-19 infection after attending an outpatient hospital appointment. This will assist in the restart planning when resuming face to face outpatient radiology appointment.

Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome-Corona Virus-2 infection results in a mild infection in most of the patients. However, 15-20% require hospitalization, and among them, 15-20% will develop acute respiratory failure, leading to their admission in Intensive Care Unit. There are no accepted predictive criteria for aggravation. Severe forms of Coronavirus induced disease-19 (COVID-19) are the consequence of endotheliopathy, and hyperinflammatory and pro-coagulant state. The Triggering Receptor Expressed on Myeloid cells-1 (TREM-1) is an immunoreceptor that acts as an amplifier of the inflammatory response. TREM-1 is expressed on myeloid and endothelial cells. Its activation leads to endothelial activation and damage, hyperinflammatory, and pro-coagulant state. TREM-1 activation is associated with poor outcome during septic shock and myocardial infarction. We here aim at investigating the relationship between TREM-1 pathway activation and clinical degradation and outcome of COVID-19 hospitalized patients.
