- Expanded Access eRequest
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.
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.

Conditions: Psychosocial Impacts of the COVID-19 Pandemic
The health crisis imposed by COVID-19 is forcing major worldwide social reorganizationthat will have profound consequences on our society. Currently, one-third of the world'spopulation (~3 billion individuals) is living under some kind of isolation or quarantinemeasures, causing an unprecedented and rapidly evolving psychosocial crisis.The psychosocial consequences of this health crisis will persist long after restrictionmeasures are lifted and the pandemic is over. This impact will be significant forindividuals facing unique contexts or challenges (e.g., older adults, individuals livingwith a disability, underprivileged families) and will most likely exacerbate existingsocial and gender inequalities in health and human development.There is an urgent need for information on the evolution of the psychosocial dimensionsof health and coping strategies used by our population and our health and social servicesstructures. Thus, this study is designed to accelerate the availability of high-quality,real-time evidence within health and social services structures to address, support andminimize psychosocial consequences of the COVID-19 pandemic. Through constantly evolvingresearch questions responsive to the course of the pandemic evolution, the rapid systemtransformations and adaptation of services, and knowledge users (KUs) needs, MAVIPAN aimsto address, document, monitor, and evaluate the following: 1. Individuals and families' adjustments and mitigation strategies, especially for those considered vulnerable and in high-risk contexts. 2. Healthcare and social services workers and managers' adjustments and mitigation strategies. 3. The organization of service structures. 4. The social and economic response.To achieve these objectives, we use a mixed methods study design that combinesquantitative questionnaires and qualitative interviews to deepen our understanding ofelements such as the coping strategies used during the pandemic. A first measure wastaken during lock-down as well as a follow-up at 3 months. Another follow-up will be madeat 7 months. At least one per year follow-up will be made over the course of the study (5years). Additional measures may be taken depending on the evolution of the pandemic andthe sanitary measures put in place by the authorities.

This is a phase I trial followed by a phase II randomized trial. The purpose of phase Istudy is the feasibility of treating patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome(ARDS) related to COVID-19 infection (COVID-19) with cord blood-derived mesenchymal stemcells (MSC). The purpose of the phase II trial is to compare the effect of MSC withstandard of care in these patients. MSCs are a type of stem cells that can be taken fromumbilical cord blood and grown into many different cell types that can be used to treatcancer and other diseases. The MSCs being used for infusion in this trial are collectedfrom healthy, unrelated donors and are stored and grown in a laboratory. Giving MSCinfusions may help control the symptoms of COVID-19 related ARDS.

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.

Purpose: The emergence of a new coronavirus SARS-CoV-2 causing a novel infection in thehuman race resulting in a world-spanning pandemic came as a surprise and at a tremendouscost both for individual human lives as well as for the society and the health caresector. The knowledge on how this new infection affects both the mother and the unbornchild as well as the outcomes for the mother and the child in the long run are unknown.What is known is based on case-reports and small case-series solely. Both thecoronaviruses causing Middle East Respiratory Syndrome (MERS) and Severe AcuteRespiratory Syndrome (SARS) can cause a threat to pregnant women and their offspring,which leads to the question whether this could be the case also for SARS-CoV-2.Aims: To establish a biobank of biological material from infected as well as non-infectedpregnant women and their offspring. To combine this biobank with Swedish quality andhealth care registers, computerized patient charts and questionnaire data, enabling bothshort-term follow up, such as obstetric outcomes, as well as long-term outcomes both formother and child. To study how the pandemic situation affects both the mother and herpartner in their experience of pregnancy, childbirth, and early parenthood.Design: A national Swedish multicentre study. Women are included when they have apositive test for SARS-CoV-2 or a clinical suspicion of coronavirus disease 2019(COVID-19) (COVID-19 group). Pregnant women without COVID-19 symptoms will be included attheir routine visits (Screening group). Blood samples and other biological material willbe collected at different time-points. Additional predictors and outcomes are collectedfrom the Swedish Pregnancy Register as well as obligatory Swedish health registers. Thebiobank and its linkage to health registers through the Swedish personal identificationnumber will enable future research. Child development will be followed during the firstyear of life by questionnaires to the parents. Womens' and their partners' experience ofchildbirth and parenthood will be studied in form of questionnaires as well as in form ofinterviews.Conclusion: This project will help obstetricians and neonatologists better recognizeclinical manifestations of the virus, identify possible risk factors during pregnancy andtailor therapies alongside providing right level of surveillance and management duringpregnancy, delivery, and child health care.
