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 or prophylactic treatments for this infection are not known. Recent studies have suggested that Hydroxy-Chloroquine could be effective in vitro and in vivo against COVID-19. The main objective of this study is to assess in patients with autoimmune disease treated with long course Hydroxy-Chloroquine initiated before the pandemic COVID-19 had an independent protective effect on the risk or the severity of infection with COVID-19.

The objectives of this study are to analyze the best device for intubation in patients infected by SARS-CoV2 virus during COVID-19 pandemics and to review the optimal methods for airway management in such patients for elective surgery and in the Critical Care environment. Also, the safest methods for airway management in thoracic surgery will be analyzed. This study has a descriptive design with no hypothesis contrast, and it will explore the current picture in airway management in Spain. It is a multicentric international study, for all the centers where intubations of tracheostomies have been performed in patients diagnosed with SARS-CoV2 with positive PCR, either in the Critical Care setting or the operating room. A survey will be distributed among professionals who have been involved in airway management in COVID-19 patients in the following specialties: Anesthesiology and Critical Care Medicine, Emergency Medicine, Prehospital Medicine, Cardiology and Pulmonology. The study started on april 2020 after receiving approval from the Ethics Committee (General University Hospital of Valencia) COVID-19 infection causes respiratory failure needing ventilatory support, which required endotracheal intubation or tracheostomy. This situation poses a significant risk of transmission due to its usual urgent nature, and it often happens in the context of respiratory claudication. For this reason, studying the safest and useful methods for airway management in this kind of patients, using data based on the clinical experience, may be of great interest in the future. Statistical analysis will be performed using Statistical Software R, . Technical characteristics will be described using frequencies and percentages for categorical variables, and means and standard deviations or medians and interquartile ranges for continuous variables, depending on normality tests. Base characteristics, center and years of experience will be compared. A sample size calculation is not necessary, since it is an explorative and voluntary study, trying to establish which are the regular routines in airway management in COVID-19 patients in Spain and Latin America.

Coronavirus (COVID-19) is a respiratory disease caused by a newly discovered coronavirus, SARS-CoV-2. Several recent papers on the pandemic recognized obesity as a risk factor for the COVID-19 infection. Therefore, an effective treatment for obesity even during COVID-19 outbreak is needed. Bariatric surgery, is considered an effective treatment in the reduction of obesity-related comorbidities and mortality risk. However, during Covid-19 phase 1 (lockdown) the near totality of elective non-oncologic procedures, including bariatric surgery, has been postponed, and all the outpatients' visits too. Therefore, phase 1 led to completely change the way of managing the pre-operative multidisciplinary visits considering the hospital limitation access and the restriction. In the present study the investigators explored the use of telemedicine as a possible strategy to face this new situation. Specifically, this study aims to test the efficacy of an online structured protocol based on pre-operative multidisciplinary assessment using telemedicine instruments. In particular, the primary end point is to test the feasibility of a telematics pre-operative work-up. The secondary end points are evaluating patient's compliance and satisfaction to the online assessment.

Hospital staff, on the front line in the COVID-19 crisis, have many questions about the risk that they have been infected with this potentially fatal virus. These questions of course primarily concern caregivers working in sectors dedicated to COVID-19 patients, whether they are resuscitating or not, but also those in non-COVID-19 sectors, or even staff without direct contact with patients. In addition, depending on the suddenness and intensity of this "COVID-19 wave", these personnel have been more or less trained and sometimes exposed due to the dire lack of protective equipment. In some countries such as Great Britain, this has resulted in significant absenteeism, a source of deepening the shortage of caregivers. This proportion of contaminated caregivers has not been evaluated on the whole of French territory. Studies from other countries suggest figures ranging from 1.5% in China to 20% in Italy. It is therefore impossible to rely on such variable data to have a reliable estimate. Since june 2020, all staff in French health establishments could benefit a serological test. Thus, in this epidemiological study, we propose to rely on this institutional serological screening to describe the link between seroconversion of hospital staff, regional intensity of the epidemic, and sectors of activity (COVID-19 sectors, non-COVID-19 caregivers , non-COVID-19 non-caregivers.

Due to the COVID-19 pandemic in our country, individuals over 65 are prohibited from leaving their homes by T.C. The Ministry of Internal Affairs on March 21, 2020. While social isolation provides protection from COVID-19, it also brings some side effects that pose health risks. Studies investigating the relationship between social isolation and health behavior report that individuals with smaller social networks report less healthy diets, excessive alcohol consumption, and less physical activity. The effects of social isolation are related to physical inactivity, smoking. Physical activity is any body movement produced by the contraction of skeletal muscles that increases energy consumption. 150 minutes of moderate PA, 75 minutes of severe PA per week, or combined moderate and severe intensity PA plus twice a week strength training is recommended for elderly. The prevalence of physical inactivity increases significantly with increasing age. At the global level, approximately 45% of people over the age of 60 do not meet the recommended level of PA. The decrease in physical performance is associated with the risk of falling, sarcopenia, fragility, decreased quality of life, emotionalization, comorbidity, early death, and increased health care costs. The purpose of this study; to evaluate the physical activity level, functional capacity and quality of life of individuals over the age of 65 who socially isolated due to the precautions COVID-19 pandemic, and to investigate the effectiveness of video based home exercise program.
