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.

To address the existing deficiencies in the knowledge regarding liver involvement and spectrum of clinical presentation and the impact of COVID-19 infection in patients of liver disease was planned. The present study will be a hospital based and the cases of confirmed COVID-19 infection will be evaluated in relation to liver involvement irrespective of pre-existing liver disease. The primary objective was to address the clinical presentation, biochemical alteration and outcomes of COVID-19 infection in subjects with chronic hepatitis, cirrhosis in comparison to those having infection in the absence of pre-existing liver disease

The aim of this study is to evaluate patient and consultant experiences with phone consultations for endoscopy-related outpatient appointments during the COVID-19 outbreak.

Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) is spreading worldwide and has become a public health emergency of major international concern. Currently, no specific drugs or vaccines are available. For severe cases, it was found that aberrant pathogenic T cells and inflammatory monocytes are rapidly activated and then producing a large number of cytokines and inducing an inflammatory storm.Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) have been shown to possess a comprehensive powerful immunomodulatory function. This study aims to investigate the safety and efficacy of intravenous infusion of mesenchymal stem cells in severe patients with COVID-19.

SARV-CoV-2 infection was considered pandemic on March 11, 2020. The SARV-CoV-2 epidemic affected France from the beginning of March, spreading in particular from a 4-day large evangelical meeting of 2500 people on February 17 in the city of Mulhouse (North East of France). The Montpellier University Hospital has set up a clinical pathway for people suspected of being infected with SARV-CoV-2 because of signs compatible with pneumonia (screening criteria in France during the study period). This includes an emergency department, an infectious disease department dedicated to the surveillance of infected people requiring hospital treatment, and an intensive care unit for the most severe cases. The diagnosis of infection with SARV-CoV-2 was confirmed in approximately 20% of people initially referred in this special care system. The main objective of this cohorte is the collection of clinical data and biological samples from care for non-interventional research on the patients with a possible or confirmed SARS-CoV -2 infection, from diagnosis to long-term follow-up.

In December 2019, new coronavirus pneumonia (COVID-19) erupted in Wuhan (Hubei, China) and quickly spread from a single city to the entire country. It did not take long for this epidemic to spread to the world. After that, World Health Organization declared this epidemic disease as a pandemic. As of now, the number of coronavirus deaths increased to 108,281 worldwide. Total number of cases approached 1,800,000 according to the latest information. While the number of healed patients was highest in China, 77,525 people with COVID-19 recovered. COVID-19 is a highly contagious respiratory infectious disease that can cause respiratory, physical and psychological dysfunction in patients. Respiratory rehabilitation reduces the patient's symptoms of dyspnea, relieves anxiety and depression, reduces the patient's need to apply to the hospital, increases functional capacity and improves the patient's quality of life. Respiratory rehabilitation, according to the feedback from China, is very important for patients in the clinical treatment and recovery process after treatment. Rehabilitation of people with mild disease after discharge is mainly based on improving physical fitness and psychological adaptation. It is also aimed to gradually restore the individual's ability to the activity before the disease and return to the community as soon as possible. Individuals with COVID-19 who have respiratory and / or limb dysfunction and chronic disease after discharge should receive respiratory rehabilitation therapy. According to the current findings of the patients discharged from severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS-CoV) and Middle East respiratory syndrome (MERS) and the clinical experience of patients with Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome (ARDS) patients who recovered after discharge, COVID-19 patients may have physical fitness, dyspnea after activity, and muscle atrophy. (Including respiratory muscles and trunk muscles) It is recommended to use respiratory videos and booklets as the main method for respiratory rehabilitation in isolated patients at home. Telerehabilitation method is also a different recommendation option for rehabilitation. The purpose of this study is to investigate the effects of exercises performed by telerehabilitation in patients diagnosed with COVID-19 followed at home. It is aimed to use an innovative model based on the digitally supported, home-based exercise program.

The study aims to determine the safety and efficacy of povidone-iodine (PVP-I) containing nasal sprays as compared to isotonic saline nasal sprays in COVID-19 positive patients. The primary outcome measure is SARS-CoV-2 viral titers in the nasal cavity and nasopharynx. In vitro studies have shown PVP-I to be highly virucidal against the viruses which cause SARS and MERS. Additionally, clinical studies have shown PVP-I saline sprays to be well tolerated in human subjects. PVP-I oral rinses and sprays have been trialed as methods to reduce the incidence and symptoms of viruses which cause the "common cold."

The overall objective of the study is to determine the therapeutic effect and tolerance of Eculizumab in patients with moderate, severe pneumonia or critical pneumonia associated with Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). Eculizumab is a terminal complement inhibitor that has been investigated for more than 10 years in numerous complement-mediated diseases. The study has a cohort multiple Randomized Controlled Trials (cmRCT) design. Randomization will occur prior to offering Eculizumab administration to patients enrolled in the CORIMUNO-19 cohort. Eculizumab will be administered to consenting adult patients hospitalized with COVID-19 either diagnosed with moderate or severe pneumonia requiring no mechanical ventilation or critical pneumonia requiring mechanical ventilation. Patients who will chose not to receive Eculizumab will receive standard of care. Outcomes of Eculizumab-treated patients will be compared with outcomes of standard of care-treated patients as well as with outcomes of patients treated with other immune modulators.
