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.
Search Tips
To search this directory, simply type a drug name, condition, company name, location, or other term of your choice into the search bar and click SEARCH. For broadest results, type the terms without quotation marks; to narrow your search to an exact match, put your terms in quotation marks (e.g., “acute respiratory distress syndrome” or “ARDS”). You may opt to further streamline your search by using the Status of the study and Intervention Type options. Simply click one or more of those boxes to refine your search.

It is unknown whether malaria or malaria treatment affects COVID-19 severity, immune responses to SARS-CoV-2 virus, or viral loads and/or duration of shedding and therewith the onwards spread of SARS-COV-2. An observational cohort study will be conducted in 708 newly diagnosed COVID-19 patient of all ages in western Kenya and Burkina-Faso. They will be enrolled in hospitals with COVID-19 testing facilities from a source population screened for SARS-CoV-2 (N~4,720). Approximately 142 of the 708 COVID-19 patients are expected to be co-infected with malaria. They will be enrolled in the nested malaria treatment trial and randomized to receive 3-days of artemether-lumefantrine (the current standard of care) or pyronaridine-artesunate, a highly effective antimalarial with known antiviral properties against SARS-CoV-2 in-vitro, that is newly registered and being rolled out in Africa. Disease progression will be assessed and nasal swabs and blood samples will be taken during home/clinic visits on days 1, 3, 7, 14, 21, 28, and 42. Patients self-isolating will be phoned daily in between scheduled visits for the first 14 days to assess signs and symptoms. Hospitalisation, self-isolation and home-based care will follow national guidelines. The WHO clinical progression scale and FLU-PRO plus scales will be used to compare disease progression between COVID-19 patients with and without malaria, and by malaria. Other endpoints include seroconversion/reversion rates, chemokine/cytokine responses, T and B cell responses, viral load and duration of viral carriage. Infection prevention and control (IPC), including the use of personal protection equipment (PPE), and measures for patient transport will follow national guidelines in each country. Written informed consent/assent will be sought. The study is anticipated to start in January 2021 and last for approximately 18 months.

Many people who have suffered from the effects of this disease might now be at risk of long-term impairment and disability. The extent of this impairment and disability is yet unknown, but it is clear from early research that these patients will be in need of rehabilitation in all phases of the disease - acute, post-acute and long-term. Rehabilitation is defined as "a set of interventions designed to reduce disability and optimize functioning in individuals with health conditions in interaction with their environment." Rehabilitation might very well be a key strategy to reduce the impact of COVID-19 on the health and function of people. A team work is needed to implement this programs which are essential in all phases to facilitate early discharge, but even more to support and empower patients.

The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) initially developed at the beginning of December 2019 in Whuan, Hubei province of China has spread all over the world. Beside the most common symptoms at onset of illness including fever, fatigue, dry cough, myalgia and dyspnoea, there are less common symptoms such as headache abdominal pain, diarrhoea, nausea and vomiting. The proportion of patients complaining gastrointestinal symptoms is variable between 3,4% and 17,0%. Interestingly, the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV2) RNA has been reported to be detectable in 50% of patients' stool samples and in these patients around the 50% had diarrhoea. SARS-CoV2 transmission has been reported to be through droplets. However, mounting evidence indicates that SARS-CoV2 has a tropism for the gastrointestinal tract and is excreted with faeces. Accordingly, a faecal-oral route of transmission of the virus has been recently postulated. Indeed, SARS-CoV2 binds to host ACE 2 receptors (ACE2) to entry into cells which are abundantly expressed by intestinal epithelial cells and regulate intestinal inflammation. Taken together, this evidence could provide a rational basis for the development of gastrointestinal symptoms reported by COVID19 infected patients. Primary aim: to evaluate the prevalence and prognosis of gastrointestinal symptoms in patients admitted to hospital for COVID19 disease Secondary aims 1. to evaluate long term consequences of COVID-19 on gastrointestinal symptoms 2. to evaluate long term consequences of COVID-19 on the development of post-infection irritable bowel syndrome (PI-IBS) 3. to evaluate long term consequences of COVID-19 on the development of post-infection dyspepsia 4. to assess the clinical and laboratory predictors (risk factors) of post-infection gastrointestinal symptom development

The purpose of this study was to conduct an epidemiological survey of the pediatric population via SARS CoV-2 IgG antibody testing in order to evaluate the incidence of asymptomatic infection and seropositivity among children and establish risk factors of infection and characterization of asymptomatic carriers. Additionally, among seropositive children, antibody titers will be explored in order to reach a better understanding of the relationship between immunity over time after different types of initial exposures. Methods Study Design and Population A prospective epidemiological survey was conducted in the Pediatric Emergency Department (ED) of the Shaare Zedek Medical Center, a tertiary medical center in Jerusalem, Israel, between October 2020 and January 2021. All patients presenting to the pediatric ED during the study period and requiring blood tests or and IV insertion for any clinical reason were considered eligible to participate in the study. The parents and/or legal guardians of these patients gave oral consent for an additional 1-3 ml of blood to be sent for Sars-CoV-2 antibody testing. In addition, all consenting parent/guardians filled out a comprehensive questionnaire regarding demographic background, past medical history, and specific Covid-19 details such as exposures to carriers, past PCR testing, symptoms etc. All patients with positive serology results were contacted by phone and updated of the test results. Laboratory testing All blood samples were collected in a clot-activator test tube. Initial testing was conducted using the Abbott SARS-CoV-2 IgG assay. A positive result was considered a value above 1.5 with 0.8 - 1.4 cosidered grayzone results. All positive and grayzone results were then retested in the DiaSoren LIAISON® SARS-CoV-2 S1/S2 IgG assay. Statistical Analysis Statistical analysis was conducted using SPSS Statistics for Windows, Version 25.0. Armonk, NY: IBM Corp. Clinical variables were analyzed using the Chi-squared test for categorical variables and the t-test for continuous variables. All statistical tests were two-way tests and P value of 5% or less was considered statistically significant.
