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.

Viral infections provoke the systemic inflammatory response and cause an imbalance between the procoagulant and anticoagulant homeostatic mechanisms. Multiple pathogenic mechanisms are involved, including endothelial dysfunction, increased von Willebrand factor, Toll receptor activation, and tissue factor pathway activation. D-dimer levels greater than 1000 ng / mL are associated with an 18-fold increased risk of mortality. In this context, many patients may require prophylaxis or antithrombotic treatment with low molecular weight heparins. Currently, there is no validated scheme on the dose and timing of the use of antithrombotic drugs. The study aims to identify the effect of two anticoagulant strategies (prophylactic and therapeutic) on the progression to ventilatory support or death in patients with COVID-19 infection who require hospital care.

This research study is designed to investigate the effects of a brief psychological intervention for improving depressed mood in older individuals (65 years and older) in isolation during the Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic. The treatment is delivered by telephone and consists of four weekly individual sessions. Two therapeutic methods are used in combination during this intervention: Behavioral activation (BA) and Mental Imagery (MI). BA involves identifying and scheduling enjoyable and meaningful activities to improve mood and reduce social isolation. To enhance BA efficacy and adherence, MI is paired with BA as MI is known to activate emotion and motivation. The MI intervention in this study involves having participants imagine, in vivid sensory detail, engaging in some of the activities that are scheduled during BA. Approximately 154 individuals will participate in the study. Half of the participants will be randomised to start the intervention immediately, while the other half of the participants will be randomized to a control group receiving the intervention after 4 weeks. This procedure makes it possible to evaluate the effects of the treatment while not disadvantaging participants randomized to the control group. Participants will be asked to fill in questionnaires before, during (at the end of each intervention week), and after treatment (or waiting period for the control group). Questionnaires will also be sent 1-, 3- and 6 months after treatment to follow up on the results. A smaller group of participants (10-15) will be asked to participate in a more detailed interview about how they experienced the treatment.
Centro en Insuficiencia Cardiaca, Mexico
The design included 152 patients with confirmed heart failure (HF) evaluated in two different periods of time: a baseline before the outbreak, and other during the outbreak of which 76 patients were randomized in each group. A care and follow-up guide was used as an instrument through a face-to-face survey (baseline group) and telemedicine (group outbreak). The primary outcome was the comparison of functional class modification observed in patients

The objective of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of noninvasive ventilation with helmet in reducing endotracheal intubation rates in comparison with Noninvasive Ventilation (NIV) facemask among patients with Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome (ARDS)
Assistance Publique - Hôpitaux de Paris
The purpose of this study is to assess whether immunosuppressive therapies used by patients with chronic inflammatory rheumatic diseases have an impact on the viral load and the humoral and cellular responses during viral infection with SarSCoV2, compared to members of their family cluster infected with the same viral strain.
Central Hospital, Nancy, France
Study conducted on hospitalized patient in critical ill units in Nancy and Metz to evaluate if early corticosteroid treatment in first seven days after admission improve patients outcome in Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome secondary to Covid-19 compared to later corticosteroid therapy or no treatment. Also comparison of acquired infection with or without corticosteroid treatment during hospitalisation.

The objective of MoxiCov is to monitor the oximetry of patients admitted to the Covid nursery to provide a more detailed assistance expecting to reduce the amount of hypoxia in these patients.
Blackstone Valley Community Health Care
Lifespan Cancer Institute serves over 50% of cancer patients in the state. Rhode Island is known for strong medical care and high rates of cancer screening with mammography and colonoscopy. However, cancer screening has plummeted during the COVID-19 pandemic, in part to closing physician offices and stopping non-urgent medical procedures. In addition, anecdotal reports suggest the public remains concerned about returning to physician's offices and risking possible exposure to COVID-19. As in the United States as a whole, COVID-19 has disproportionately impacted ethnic and minority individuals within underserved communities; and in Rhode Island, African Americans, Hispanics and undocumented individuals living in communities such as Central Falls, Pawtucket, Providence, East Providence and North Providence have had the highest rate of COVID-19. These communities are also impacted by healthcare disparities to access and affordability of healthcare, and as such, may be among the least likely to resume cancer screening. The Lifespan Cancer Institute will institute a project to address health disparities in cancer screening during the pandemic through the use of a targeted campaign involving social media. The goals will be to re-establish screening in the era of COVID-19 and ensure timeliness of care for those found to be at risk, or are positive for, cancer.

The aim of the study will be to determine the epidemiological and clinical features of COVID-19 cases, immunological and virological courses, interaction with nutritional status, and response to treatment for COVID-19 patients admitted to treatment centers in Ethiopia. Methods: This multi-site cohort enrolls, patients with confirmed COVID-19 infection admitted to treatment centers will be enrolled irrespective of their symptoms and followed up for 12 months. Baseline epidemiological, clinical, laboratory and imaging data will be collected from treatment records, interviews, physical measurements and biological samples. Endline data involves treatment and prognostic outcomes to be measured using different biomarkers and clinical parameters, The patients will be followed up in the selected treatment centers for COVID-19 infection. For all data collected both descriptive and multivariable analyses will be performed to isolated determinants of the treatment outcome and prognosis to generate relevant information for informed prevention and case management.

This pragmatic 3-arm randomized controlled trial is conducted within the primary health care setting. The trial evaluates the effectiveness of a personalized eHealth intervention based on a hip-worn accelerometer, smartphone application and cloud service (www.exced.com) with or without face-to-face and telephone counselling contacts on physical activity (PA) compared to usual care in increasing daily PA and reducing sedentary behavior (SB) among type 2 diabetes (T2D) patients.The duration of the intervention period is 6 months, after which there is a 6 month follow-up for evaluating the maintenance of anticipated intervention effects. The primary goal of the intervention is that the T2D patients increase their daily number of steps by replacing SB with low intensity PA. The secondary goal is to increase short bouts of moderate-to-vigorous PA according to personal goals. It is expected that the eHealth intervention complemented by individual counselling is the most effective in reaching the goals, and the eHealth intervention is more effective than usual care. Measurements are done at baseline, after the 6-month intervention, and after the 6-month follow-up. Participants' one-week PA and SB are measured with a hip-worn triaxial accelerometer and analyzed with validated algorithms. Cardiorespiratory fitness is assessed with a validated 6-minute walk test. Diabetes-related metabolic biomarkers (HbA1C, LDL-c, HDL-c, oxidized LDL and HDL lipids) and cardiovascular risk factors (blood pressure, BMI, waist circumference) are measured with standard laboratory methods. Quality of life is assessed by RAND-36 method. The interventions are evaluated with RE-AIM (Reach, Effectiveness, Adoption, Implementation and Maintenance) method. Besides effectiveness, RE-AIM methods evaluates the target group reach and adherence; provider adoption; intervention fidelity; maintenance of the changes in PA and SB behavior, biomarkers and CVD risk factors; intervention transferability to clinical practice; adverse events; and patient and provider satisfaction. Unexpectedly, the COVID-19 pandemic in spring 2020 led to substantial restrictions in outdoors mobility of T2D patients and their access access to health care in Finland, facts that frustrated the planned implementation of the original intervention, related measurements and their scheduling. This means that not all planned measurements could be done at all or at the scheduled time point. Irrespective of the time of recruitment, all follow-up measurements are done from June to September 2020. Notwithstanding the COVID-19 pandemic annulled the original intervention, the collected data yet provides unique insights into measured physical activity, fitness and metabolic biomarkers of T2D patients before and during the COVID-19 pandemic and consequent restrictions.In addition, the data allows to evaluate the implementation of eHealth approach and face-to-face and telephone PA counselling contacts within the primary health care setting.
