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.

The negative global consequences of the COVID-19 pandemic has prompted efforts to develop efficient laboratory testing protocols that can be quickly scaled in a practical way. Traditional phlebotomy requirements for antibody testing (venipuncture) often serve as a barrier to widespread population testing since they typically require dedicated facilities and personnel training. Conversely, antibodies are typically very stable in blood and require very little testing volume, which make antibody tests well suited to be run on samples collected via finger-stick, saliva, or other self-administered collection devices. Salveo Diagnostics is a CLIA/CAP certified clinical laboratory that routinely performs testing for anti-SARS-Cov-2 antibodies. The purposes of this protocol are to 1) assess the feasibility of streamlined sample collection procedures for assessing COVID-related immune status, and 2) to provide a mechanism for securing sequential samples in COVID positive and negative patients to support additional studies (e.g. investigating timing of anti-SARS-CoV-2 antibody class switching and antibody persistence).

Methodology: This is a controlled, randomized, multicenter open-label Phase Ib clinical exploratory trial in patients with fibrosing interstitial lung disease secondary to SARS-CoV-2 infection. Patients who give informed consent will be screened for enrolment in the study. Patients that meet the eligibility criteria will be enrolled and randomly allocated in the control arm (best standard of care) or the experimental arm (best standard of care plus IN01 vaccination). The patients enrolled in the control arm of the study will receive standard of care. The primary endpoint is safety, measured by the Frequency and severity of AEs graded according to Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) Version 5.0 criteria. Biochemical and blood count alterations will be also monitored. Safety will be defined based on the frequency and severity of adverse events (AEs) throughout the patient's participation in the study comparing between control and experimental arms. Efficacy will be measured as function of the annual rate of decline in the Forced Vital Capacity (FVC) at 1 year after patient inclusion in the study and the blood oxygen saturation levels at days 1, 14 (w2), d 28 (w4), 42 (w6) and 92 (w12); week 24, week 36 and week 52. High-resolution Computed Tomography (CT) scans will be taken at at baseline and weeks, 12, 24, and 52 to evaluate the resolution of the fibrosing interstitial lung disease. A translational substudy will be included. Objectives: Primary Objective ● To evaluate the safety and tolerability of IN01 vaccine in diagnosed ex-COVID-19 patients that develop fibrotic lung syndrome after infection. Secondary Objectives - To evaluate the effect of IN01 vaccine on Oxygen saturation, pulmonary function, quality of life and fibrosing status in ex-COVID-19 patients that developed fibrosing lung disease after infection. - To assess biomarkers and molecular markers related to the IN01 vaccine mechanism of action.

Investigators study meet the World Health Organization definition of a clinical trial because it is a prospective study in which participants will be assigned to intervention groups to investigate the effects on health outcomes. Investigators highlighted clearly the real problem that indigeneous patients are facing now in the Democratic Republic of the Congo: Poverty meaning the lack of money to buy goods and drugs. From the news report, investigators learned that "In the Democratic Republic of the Congo, indigenous communities in Kananga, Tshikapa and in the Kasai region are increasing their consumption of "Vernonia amygdalina," a traditional plant believed to cure several diseases, including alleviating COVID-19." Based on an unpublished work, quite a few extract molecules of Vernonia amygdalina are excellent antiviral candidates which are the family members of Remdesivir in terms of their antiviral mechanisms. Furthermore, the antiviral capabilities of these molecules are significantly stronger than or at least equivalent to Remdesivir. The target zones of these molecules in the human body cover a set of important organs and tissues. For example, Vernolide (C19H22O7) is able to reside firmly at bronchi, the upper respiratory tract, and blood vessels. From the news report, investigators learned also that Herbs used in Tanzania include lemon, ginger, neem tree leaves, mango tree leaves, orange tree leaves. These traditional medicines contain, more or less, antiviral molecules whose capacities range from good to outstanding levels. Those herbs have been used worldwide to fight COVID-19. In conclusion traditional medicines have been playing important roles not only in Africa but also in Asia, in South America, etc. Herbs prove themselves with effective efficacies in many therapeutic practices. So maybe after careful considerations, the World Health Organization may support the use of herbs for poor patients who cannot afford modern drugs and used traditional medicines after a positive COVID-19 test in the Democratic Republic of the Congo. Investigators are talking about a randomisation's nuance process to follow participants who decide by themselves if diagnosed positive to COVID-19 to begin to take herbs not waiting for a physician prescription.

The end of 2019 saw the emergence of a new human coronavirus (COVID-19) spread rapidly around the world and has a high degree of lethality. In more severe cases, patients remain in hospital inpatient units, under the care of the health team. To serve this population, it is important to use and develop potential tools to meet the demands of physical activity and improve cardiorespiratory fitness. In this sense, exposure therapies of virtual reality are promising and, although limited for this purpose, have been shown to be an adequate and equivalent alternative to traditional exercise programs. Fifty patients with confirmed diagnosis of COVID-19 will be evaluated in an inpatient unit at Hospital São Paulo, at Escola Paulista de Medicina, Universidade Federal de São Paulo (HSP - EPM/UNIFESP). After completing all the questionnaires and tests of the initial evaluation (Medical Research Council Scale, Visual Analogue Scale, BORG Scale, Brunel's Mood Scale, Satisfaction Scale and Heart Rate Variability - HRV), the individuals will be divided into two groups being Group A: Subjects with COVID-19 who will start the first day of the protocol with Virtual Reality tasks in the morning and then in the second period, in the afternoon, will perform the conventional exercises (n = 25); And Group B: Subjects with COVID-19 who will start the first day with conventional exercises in the morning and in the second period, in the afternoon, will perform activity with virtual reality (n = 25). After the application of therapies, final evaluations will be carried out. The rehabilitation protocol will be applied during all days of hospitalization. For the protocol, the Heart Rate Variability indices will be evaluated in three moments: (1) rest before the task, (2) during the intervention, (3) recovering from the intervention. The performance data during the activity in Virtual reality will also be evaluated. The results of this study will assist in assessing the response to rehabilitation therapies during hospitalization and the prognosis of these patients.

COVID 19 which started from a zoonotic transmission related to crowded markets was confirmed to have a high potential for transmission to close contacts on 20 January 2020 by the National Health Commission of China and it was announced as a pandemic by the WHO on 11 March 2020. There is currently no clinically proven specific antiviral agent available for SARS-CoV-2 infection. Supportive treatment, including oxygen therapy, conservation fluid management, and broad-spectrum antibiotics to cover secondary bacterial infection, remains the most important management strategy. Interestingly, sofosbuvir has recently been proposed as an antiviral for the SARS-CoV-2 based on the similarity between the replication mechanisms of the HCV and the coronaviruses. Aim of our study is to assess the safety and efficacy of of the addition of HCV treatment to the standard regimen for the treatment of patients according to MOHP protocol.
