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.

Research describing training load management during COVID-19 enforced home training in professional tennis players is lacking. Therefore, the main objective of this case series is to describe in detail the training load management and progression of three professional tennis players before, during and after COVID-19 pandemic lockdown.

This study is a randomized controlled trial of an online, evidenced-based intervention (the ENHANCE program) that was modified to address the health and well-being challenges of COVID-19. Eligible participants will be randomized into the ENHANCE or Wait-List Control group over a 12-week period. ENHANCE participants will be introduced, and asked to practice, 10 evidenced-based principles and skills of happiness and well-being. Participants will complete an online survey about their health and well-being at baseline, midway (or 6 weeks), post-assessment (or at the end of the 12-week study), and 3-months following the end of the study.

Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is a respiratory tract infection caused by a newly emergent coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2) that can progress to severe multiorgan disease requiring hospitalization. The medium and long-term impact in survivors of COVID-19 on lung function, imaging by thoracic CT, exercise capacity, and health-related quality of life and the relation of these parameters remains to be determined.
Skane University Hospital
One hundred patients hospitalized and in need of oxygen treatment due to Covid-19 should be randomized and 50% treated with 200 ml convalescent plasma x 3 and 50% given ordinary treatment. Primary outcome is number of days the patients need oxygen within 28 days from inclusion. Secondary outcome is number of days in hospital, number of days in respirator and mortality. Side effects of treatment is monitored.

Researchers know that the virus that causes COVID-19 has been found in the saliva (spit) of individuals who exhibit signs of the disease. Investigators would like to test the ability of three mouthwashes to reduce the levels of this virus in participants' mouths. Investigators will ask participants to use a liquid to swish around in the mouth for 30 seconds and spit it into a collection cup. Investigators will also collect spit from participants before and after participants use the mouthwash. Although participants will have no direct benefits from the study, investigators will gain a wealth of information that would benefit patients who are at risk for COVID-19.

Since the beginning of 2020, SARS-CoV-2 outbreak spread over the world, conducting in a pandemic state declared by the world health organization in March 2020. Conflicting data have been yet published regarding to the incidence rate of COVID-19 infection in altitude. Mainly based on analysis from national Peru database, some authors argued that COVID-19 disease, as well as case fatality rate was less frequent in altitude. However, epidemiological data are lacking regarding to the prevalence of COVID-19 in altitude, and more specially in high altitude. Aim of this cross-sectional study is to assess the prevalence of seroconversion for the SARS-CoV-2 in the population of La Rinconada, a mining town at 5,100 m, the highest city in the world.

Patients requiring hospitalization due to COVID-19 pneumonia (non-severe) will be randomized to standard prophylactic doses or full therapeutic dose of bemiparin (a LMWH) for 10 days.

Approximately 10-15% of patients infected with COVID-19 develop severe illness characterized by respiratory distress, increased risk of clotting disease, myocardial damage, stroke and mortality. Subjects with Type 2 diabetes (T2DM) are at increased risk for severe COVID-19 disease. Exuberant inflammatory and immune responses were suggested as the etiology responsible for the development of severe COVID-19 disease. The increased chronic inflammatory state characteristic of T2DM could contribute to the increased risk of severe COVID-19 disease in T2DM patients. Therefore, its possible that anti-inflammatory therapy will reduce the risk of severe COVID-19 disease. Consistent with this assumption, a recent study has reported that steroid therapy improves the outcome in patients with severe COVID-19 disease. The medication pioglitazone is a strong insulin sensitizer that reduces plasma glucose concentrations in T2DM patients. In addition to improving insulin sensitivity, several studies have demonstrated that pioglitazone reduces chronic inflammation in T2DM patients, which is manifested in a decrease in TNF-alpha, interleukin, hs CRP, leptin and other inflammatory markers in T2DM treated with pioglitazone. Further, pioglitazone enhances the plasma level of anti-inflammatory agents. For example, the plasma level of 15-epi-lipoxin A, a lipid mediator with strong anti-inflammatory and inflammation-resolving effects that has been reported to neutralize RNA coated viruses, is significantly elevated by pioglitazone treatment in T2DM patients. Therefore, we hypothesize that administering pioglitazone to T2DM patients who have moderate-to-severe COVID-19 will improve the clinical outcome of their COVID-19 disease.
