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.

There is a pandemic in the world by COVID-19. Currently, the pharmacological curative orprophylactic treatments for this infection are not known. Recent studies have suggestedthat Hydroxy-Chloroquine could be effective in vitro and in vivo against COVID-19. Themain objective of this study is to assess in patients with autoimmune disease treatedwith long course Hydroxy-Chloroquine initiated before the pandemic COVID-19 had anindependent protective effect on the risk or the severity of infection with COVID-19.

Ultomiris (Ravulizumab), is a monoclonal antibody that specifically targets terminalcomplement products and is proposed for the treatment of COVID-19 inducedmicrovasculature injury and endothelial damage leading to thrombotic microangiopathy(TMA) causing acute kidney injury (AKI). Ravulizumab is to be used for participants witha confirmed diagnosis of COVID-19 who clinically or diagnostically present withdeteriorating renal function. Ravulizumab causes immediate and sustained inhibition ofthe terminal complement cascade. The use of ravulizumab could ameliorate COVID-19 inducedkidney injury due to TMA, shorten hospital stay, and improve the overall survival.

The data obtained from Covid-19 infections seem to suggest that the immunogenesis ofCovid-19 could in some cases be the result of immune dysregulation. On the other hand,endocrine damage is possible at the tile of Covid-19 infection (mainly thyroid,adrenal,and hypothalamus). These disorders are autoimmune or linked to degeneration.The main objective is to assess the thyroid function (thyrotropic axis) as well as thecorticotropic adrenal function of patients who have had Copvid-19 pneumonia. Thesecondary objectives is to describe the pathophysiological mechanisms of pulmonary andvasculothrombotic involvement of Covid-19

Historically and traditionally, the recommendations related to physical exercise duringpregnancy have been based more on moral or cultural issues than on scientific evidence.During some phases of history, pregnancy has meant a period of seclusion for women (notonly physical). One of the adverse consequences has been the common recommendation ofrest as a general rule for pregnant women.Scientific evidence from recent years has achieved a better understanding of the processof pregnancy and childbirth as well as maternal and fetal responses to exercise.Currently, both from a scientific and clinical/obstetric point of view, there is no doubtabout the benefits of an active pregnancy for entire body of pregnant woman, and even herchild. In fact, risks of a sedentary lifestyle are applicable to the pregnancy situation,even more with important associated complications during pregnancy and postpartum period.Unfortunately, the impact of COVID-19 has caused an unprecedented global crisis, in thissense the necessary measures taken by the different administrations, especially in termsof confinement causes (from now on) a large number of complications affecting differentpopulations. In summary a complex situation without established prevention strategiesexists.The pregnant population is, due to the nature of the gestation and delivery process, oneof the population groups with the highest risk of adverse outcomes and associatedcomplications and whose consequences include the mother, fetus, newborn and evenchildren. According to an important body of scientific literature and based on anepigenetic effect, the intrauterine environment can be a determining factor for thefuture human being to evolve regardless of complications and pathologies (cardiovascular,metabolic, psychic, emotional). This is demonstrated by numerous recent scientificevidences that confirm the unfortunate association between an adverse intrauterineenvironment (due to various factors) and observable postnatal pathologies in infants.In addition, current publications report the large number and variety of alterations thatthe COVID-19 situation causes in pregnant women and that includes the entire femaleorganism. This complex situation does not only affect aspects of a physical orphysiological nature, but also psychic and emotional factors. In summary, a new state ofconfinement or similar situations in the near future (impossibility of groupings,distance between people), avoid during the daily life of pregnant women one of theimportant and recent recommendations made by the international scientific community: apregnancy physically active.This is especially relevant, due to the dangerous association between complications of apsychological or emotional nature during pregnancy with pre, peri and postnatal disorders(low birth weights, perinatal complications, altered and prolonged deliveries, etc.),which affect not only to the mother and can determine the health of the future humanbeing. According to the scientific literature and based on an epigenetic effect, theintrauterine environment can be a determining aspect in the health of the future humanbeing and the prevention of complications and pathologies (cardiovascular, metabolic,psychic, emotional). This is demonstrated by numerous and recent scientific evidencesthat confirm the unfortunate association between an adverse intrauterine environment (dueto various factors) and different pathologies during and after pregnancy.It is evident the change that COVID-19 and its effects will generate in the lifestyle ofthe pregnant population and the increased probability of suffering associated pathologiesin the next 24-36 months. No preventive actions have yet been planned in Spain and itspublic hospitals against the impact of COVID-19 on the quality of life of pregnant women.It is urgent to design and perform an adequate strategy of intervention for its possibleprevention. From the scientific point of view, the recommendations are clear andconcrete, an aerobic exercise program, designed and supervised by professionals from theSciences of Physical Activity and Sports, is the best option for pregnant women.In this sense, in the last 30 years, physical exercise has proven to have many benefitsfor pregnant women, without causing risks or adverse effects on maternal-fetalwell-being. This is confirmed by an important body of scientific literature ongestational physical exercise and its effects on pregnancy outcomes.

The aim of the proposed project is to provide a comprehensive assessment of the mentalhealth impact of the ongoing COVID-19 outbreak in Spain. A prospective cohort study ofthree groups will be conducted: (1) COVID-19 cases or close contacts recently isolated orquarantined; (2) healthcare workers; (3) adult general population.Recruitment through epidemiologic surveillance services, hospitals, primary care centersin 6 Spanish Autonomous Communities (groups 1 & 2) and a random sample of individualsusing telephone numbers as the sampling frames(group 3). Web-based surveys or telephoneinterviews at baseline and 6-month follow-up assess: current living and employmentstatus; COVID-19 infection status; mental health (post-traumatic stress, panic,depression, anxiety, alcohol and substance use, suicidality; services use); psychologicalfunctioning; general health status and quality of life. Specific modules focus onisolation or quarantine (group 1) and care for COVID-19 patients (group 2). Shortbi-weekly brief follow-up surveys among groups 1 & 2 will provide additional assessmentof main outcomes in the two months following baseline assessment.
