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.

The purpose of this epidemiologic study is to estimate the prevalence and incidence of anti-SARS-CoV-2 antibodies in at-risk, exposed, affected populations. The study will also estimate the risk of SARS-CoV-2 exposure in target population.
Institute of Tropical Medicine, Belgium
The objectives of this study are (1) to determine the ex vivo neutralizing capacity and the longevity of SARS-CoV-2-specific Ab responses and (2) to measure the memory B-cell responses in a cohort of health care workers (HCW) recovering from severe, mild or asymptomatic infection. By focusing on HCW, a population that is at risk for re-infection during a second epidemic wave, the correlation between nAb levels and protection is investigated.

Healthcare workers play a critical role in fighting the pandemic, not only by managing the patients' health clinically, but also by implementing adequate measures for infection prevention and control in healthcare facilities. This puts healthcare workers at a greater risk of acquiring the disease. COVID-19 is caused by Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus -2 (SARS-CoV-2) and many people can be infected with it asymptomatically and undetectably. Serology is an antibody test that provides additional information to polymerase chain-reaction (PCR) testing as it is the only way to reliably establish the fraction of the population that was infected . Seroconversion is the development of antibodies in the blood which can confirm suspected cases after the fact and reveal who was infected but asymptomatic and never realized it. Antibodies are specific proteins created as the body's response to the infection and this test is essential for detecting infected individuals with few or no symptoms at all.

Study of COVID-19 seroprevalence in precarious population living in shelters of Samusocial de Paris and in staff working in these centers during COVID-19 epidemic.

This study compares SARS-CoV-2 immune responses in high pretest probability swab negative hospitalized PUI patients vs. low pretest probability swab negative hospitalized APS (Asymptomatic Persons being Screened) patients to try to understand the appropriateness and safety of clinical decisions made in these patient populations based on swab results.

Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (COVID-19) poses substantial challenges for health care systems. With a vastly expanding amount of publications on COVID-19, clinicians need evidence synthesis to produce guidance for handling patients with COVID-19.
Bernhoven Hospital
Rationale: Infection with severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus (SARS-CoV) 2 could result in endothelial dysfunction with increased risk of arterial thrombotic events by downregulating the expression of angiotensin converting enzyme 2 (ACE2). Endothelial function can be easily and non-invasively determined by carotid artery reactivity (CAR) testing. Objective: To investigate the predictive value of endothelial dysfunction, measured by carotid artery reactivity testing, for 1-year cardiovascular events in patients with past COVID-19 infection. Study design: A prospective observational longitudinal cohort study. Study population: Patients recovered from confirmed infection with SARS-CoV2. Main study parameters/endpoints: macrovascular endothelial function measured by carotid artery reactivity testing.

Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is an infectious disease caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), which first appeared in China, in December 2019 and is now spreading worldwide and poses a great threat to public health. In 12th July 2020, the total number of cases worldwide was about 13 million cases with case fatality rate of 4.4% and in Egypt the total cases was 81158 and case fatality rate was 4.6%. (1,2). In recent years, novel coronaviruses emerge periodically in different areas around the world. Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus (SARS-CoV) occurred in 2002, which reportedly infected 8422 people with about 10% case fatality rate (3). Middle East respiratory syndrome coronavirus (MERS-CoV) was first identified in 2012 in Saudi Arabia, bringing a total of 1401 MERS-CoV infections, and about 35% case fatality rate (1). All the infection cases and recent epidemics show that coronaviruses impose a continuous threat to human beings and the economy as they emerge unexpectedly, spread easily, and lead to catastrophic consequences. As the number of recovered patients with COVID-19 continues to be increasing, the strength and duration of immunity after infection is an important point to be studied. Moreover, understanding this issue is a critical point for controlling this epidemic as they are the key for herd immunity and for informing decisions on how and when to ease physical distancing restrictions and to be ready for other waves of the infection. There is currently no evidence if the people who have recovered from COVID-19 have antibodies and protected from a second attack of infection or future wave of this pandemic or not. Therefore, we will carry out a longitudinal study of immunity in recovered patients to assess SARS-Cov2 patients' risk for future reinfection.

COVID-19 infected pregnant women is thought to have variable degrees of inflammatory response against the disease. Investigators of present study, suggested that fetuses are affected from the possible fetal inflammatory syndrome in case of maternal COVID-19. Therefore the aim of his study is to evaluate that if the cardiothymic index is affected by the maternal COVID-19 and to demonstrate any possible association of this measurement with neonatal morbidities.

This study will define the kinetics of IgG responses to both N and S proteins in the subjects who suffered from COVID 19 and then had recovered and those who were previously undiagnosed but were seropositive. These subjects will be followed for four months to evaluate the levels of antibodies in these people.
