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.

NAPKON-HAP is the deep phenotyping platform of the National Pandemic Cohort Network (NAPKON) in Germany. NAPKON is a data and biospecimen collection of patients with COVID-19 and is part of the University Medicine Network (NUM) in Germany. The primary objective of the study is to provide a comprehensive collection of data and biosamples for researchers from national consortia and for participation in international research collaborations for studying COVID-19 and future pandemics. Data is collected from patients with COVID-19 three times per week during their hospitalization and at follow-up visits after hospital discharge 3, 6, 12, 24, and 36 months after symptom onset. Data include epidemiological and demographic parameters, medical history and potential risk factors, documentation of routine medical procedures, and clinical course, including different patterns of organ involvement, quality of care, morbidity, and quality of life. Moreover, extensive serial high-quality bio sampling consisting of various sample types is performed to allow deep molecular, immunological, and virological phenotyping. Patients not requiring Intensive Care Unit (ICU)/ Intermediate Care (IMC) treatment will receive 7 and patients requiring ICU/IMC treatment will receive 16 full-phenotyping visits including sampling for biobanking. During hospitalisation the planned blood sampling rate in total is 35 ml at each visit. The total amounts and/or sampling dates may differ according to the ethics committee's regulations for different study centers. At follow-up visits, the clinical assessment includes an update of the medical history and recent medical events from which additional clinical data is collected (i.e. outpatient CT-scans, echocardiography, external laboratory data). Clinical symptoms are recorded and a physical examination will be performed. Vital signs are recorded and routine blood testing and biosampling is continued. Quality of life is measured with patient-reported outcome questionnaires. Follow-up visits at months 3 and 12 are "deep phenotyping" visits with a comprehensive and detailed set of examinations. In the following visits at months 24 and 36, only examinations with pathologic results from the last deep phenotyping visit at month 12 will be performed. A shorter follow-up visit to record quality of life, recent medical events and with a reduced number of examinations focusing on cardiorespiratory performance will take place at month 6. In case of relevant medical events, new medical information or changes in the participant´s health status, an unscheduled visit can take place anytime within the entire study period. Data collection during follow up includes standardized quality of life assessment including PROMIS® (Patient-Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System). The pulmonary characterization will include body plethysmography, diffusion capacity, respiratory muscles strength measurement, spiroergometry, capillary blood gas analysis and lung imaging studies (low-dose Computed Tomography (CT), Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) of the lung). Cardiological phenotyping includes echocardiography, electrocardiogram (ECG), 24h-ECG, 24h-blood pressure monitoring, stress cardiac MRI and pulse wave analysis. Neurocognitive testing includes brain MRI, electroencephalogram (EEG), somatosensory testing, refractometry (Visit 3 and 12 months), physical activity test, neurocognitive tests, somatosensory phenotyping, taste- and smell-test. Endocrinological phenotyping will incorporate Advanced Glycation Endproducts (AGE) reader, continuous glucose monitoring for 14 days, Air Displacement Plethysmography (ADP) or bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA).

None of the vaccines approved, or in clinical trials, have so far been tested on transplanted patients. If they produce an immune response to the Spike protein of SARS-CoV-2 it is unknown how long the protective immunity will last. Not all immune responses are equal. The investigators will quantify immune cell subsets with flow and mass cytometry analyses to describe the phenotype of responding immune cells, including specific T cells. If not already established, patient human Leukocyte antigen (HLA) genotypes will be typed. In order to compare the immune responses with healthy individuals a control group of hospital employees will be included and sampled before and after vaccination according to the same time schedules as the kidney transplanted patients.

The AGILE platform master protocol allows incorporation of a range of identified and yet-to-be-identified candidates as potential treatments for adults with COVID-19 into the trial. Candidates will be added into the trial via candidate-specific trial (CST) protocols of this master protocol as appendices. Having one master protocol ensures different candidates are evaluated in the same consistent manor and opening up new trials for new candidates is more efficient. Inclusion of new candidates will be determined by the AGILE Scientific Advisory Board based on pre-clinical data, evidence in the clinical setting and GMP capabilities.

Sample Size: n=570 Accrual Ceiling: n=627 Study Population: Patients age 18 to 100 years The study duration includes 51 months to recruit patients and 24 months of total follow-up time counted from the first day of COVID-19 symptoms or date of confirmed COVID-19 diagnosis. Study Design: This is a prospective, observational cohort study to evaluate the short- and long-term end-organ complications of COVID-19 and to establish a COVID-19 biobank. Participant Cohorts: 1. Individuals who had previous asymptomatic or mild COVID-19 (mild=never required supplemental oxygen during the acute phase of the infection) 2. Individuals who had previous moderate or severe COVID-19 (moderate=required supplemental oxygen by nasal cannula during the acute phase of the infection; severe=required supplemental oxygen by either high-flow nasal cannula, non-invasive positive pressure ventilation or intubation) 3. Individuals who had COVID-19 but did not have signs or symptoms related to COVID-19 lasting beyond 4 weeks from the date of COVID-19 symptom-onset or diagnosis 4. Individuals who have not had COVID-19 (i.e. individuals who tested negative for COVID-19 and who never had symptoms consistent with COVID-19)

COVID-19 is a severe disease with poor prognosis in patients receiving in-center haemodialysis (HD). A population-based registry of >4,000 patients with a diagnosis of COVID-19 receiving kidney replacement therapy (either haemodialysis or kidney transplant recipient) highlighted a 21.1 fold higher 28-day mortality risk among patients on dialysis (n = 3,285), than the expected 1.2% mortality of propensity-score matched historical controls. Vulnerability in uraemic patients is a combination of intrinsic frailty, increased risk of infection and a high burden of comorbidities. In patients on HD, abnormalities in the immune response may contribute to relative hyporesponsiveness to vaccines. However, patients on HD appear to seroconvert at a similar rate compared to the general population after SARS-CoV-2 infection, suggesting a likelihood of vaccine efficacy but this population has been excluded from vaccine trials. The primary aim of this study is to evaluate antibody synthesis induced after Covid-19 vaccination in a French adult multicentric cohort of in-center haemodialysis patients. The second aim of this study is to identify vaccine non-responders among HD patients and to assess the clinical and biological risk factors associated with non-response.

The COVID-19 pandemic has been characterized by high morbidity and mortality, especially in certain subgroups of patients. To date, no treatment has been shown to be effective in patients with early-onset disease and mild symptoms. Experimental studies have demonstrated a potential anti-inflammatory role of Fluvoxamine, Fluoxetine, Budesonide and Spirulin Platensis in SARS-CoV-2 infections and observational studies have suggested a reduced complications in patients with COVID-19 disease.

Scientific knowledge about the COVID-19 pandemic and the virus that is causing it (SARS-CoV-2) is developing rapidly, and the investigators have a clearer idea of the population groups who are at higher risk of becoming infected, having serious illness, and dying. However, less is known about COVID-19 in children, adolescents and young adults living with HIV. It is not yet known whether, or how, HIV affects people's risk of being infected with the virus or becoming ill. This study aims to find out whether children and adolescents living with HIV have had the COVID-19 virus, even if they did not have symptoms and did not realise it at the time. When a person is infected with a virus, their immune system fights the infection. As a result, they produce proteins called antibodies, and it may take a few weeks for enough antibodies to be made to be detected by a blood test. These antibodies may help protect the person from getting the same infection again. This study wants to find out how many children and adolescents living with HIV across Europe and South Africa have antibodies to the COVID-19 virus. It wants to see if the proportion with antibodies is different in younger children compared to older adolescents and young adults, and whether it varies between different countries. Children and adolescents with HIV regularly attend hospital outpatient appointments, and during these appointments blood samples may be taken to monitor their health. This study will invite these patients to be tested for antibodies to the COVID-19 virus during their routine visit. The participants will be asked a few short questions about COVID-19 diagnoses in their household and other risk factors for exposure to the virus, and it will collect information on their HIV, medications and any other illnesses they may have. At their next routine clinic visit, approximately 6 months later, it will test them again for antibodies. Testing twice will let see how the percentage of children, adolescents and young adults with antibodies to the COVID-19 virus has changed over time. In South Africa, HIV-uninfected adolescents from a similar socioeconomic background to those living with HIV and recruited to the study will be invited to join this study, which will allow us to compare the prevalence of antibodies across the two groups. The information from this study will help scientists and healthcare workers care for children, adolescents and young adults living with HIV during the ongoing COVID-19 epidemic in the best possible way. Participants may be given their test results, together with information about what the result means, depending on the usual practice within their clinic.

This is a prospective single-center study for the follow-up of SARS-CoV-2 positive patients in the district of Konstanz (LKN). As part of the coronavirus pandemic, patients with SARS-CoV-2 infection are currently being treated in the clinics of the LKN's health network at the Singen (Hegau-Bodensee Clinic) and Konstanz (Konstanz Clinic) locations. So far, there is little data on the long-term effects of SARS-CoV-2 infection. As part of this study, the disease progression of these patients will be monitored. Study objective: Prospective, controlled follow-up observation of SARS-CoV-2 positive patients regarding their secondary diseases and quality of life.
