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.

COVID-19 is a new emerging disease caused by infection with the SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus, with no specific therapeutic options. Since the end of February 2020, the Strasbourg University Hospital (HUS) had faced a sudden increase of patients with COVID-19 resulted from a SARS-CoV-2 superspreading event (religious meeting). Infected individuals went to regional hospitals, and this led to a cluster of infected healthcare workers at the Strasbourg University Hospitals from the first week of March. To date, several hundred Strasbourg hospital workers have presented a SARS-CoV-2 infection confirmed by the RT-PCR test from a nasopharyngeal sample. Most of them developed a mild form of COVID-19. It is important to understand how far the infection has spread in the hospital staff, and to which extent the individuals who have been infected develop antibodies against SARS-CoV-2.

In COVID-19 pandemic, it is of critical importance to identify a rapid and simple diagnostic method to be used in clinical settings to timely inform and refine strategies that can prevent, control, and stop the spread of SARS-CoV-2. The 2019-nCoV IgG/IgM Rapid Test Cassette (Whole Blood/Serum/Plasma) is a qualitative, membrane-based immunoassay for the detection of immunoglobulin G (IgG) and Immunoglobulin M (IgM) antibodies to SARS-CoV-2 in whole blood, serum or plasma specimen. Clinical specimens from patients who were suspected of being infected with 2019-nCoV will be used to evaluate the performance of the assay.
Yale University
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the performance of a non-invasive olfactory device as a rapid indicator of COVID-19 in positive subjects.
University of Siena
Ultrasound imaging of the lung (LUS) and associated tissues has demonstrated clinical utility in COVID-19 patients. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the possibilities of a portable pocket-sized ultrasound scanner in the evaluation of lung involvement in patients with COVID-19 pneumonia, in comparison with a high end ultrasound scanner. Statisical analysis will be performed with Stata for Windows V 16 (Stata corp, Texas College, TX). Power size estimation using Medcalc 19.3.1, (MedCalc Software Ltd, Ostenda, B) showed that hat 34 patients would be required for the comparison of the two methods using the Bland-Altman method assuming a mean difference in total score of 1±1, a false positive rate (α) of 0.05 and a false negative rate of 0.1 (β=0.9).

COVID 19: Is SARS-CoV-2 Contaminating Surgical Aerosols From Laparoscopy and Open Abdominal Surgery?
This study aims at answering the question if aerosols from laparoscopic or open abdominal surgery contain SARS-CoV-2 virus and need to be considered contagious.
Medical University Innsbruck
The aim of this possible study is to identify if SARS-CoV-2 can be found in the tear film and conjunctiva of a patient with COVID-19.
Instituto Nacional de Enfermedades Respiratorias
This study will explore whether a daily supplement of glycine, a substance that has antiinflammatory, cytoprotective, and endothelium-protecting effects, can improve mortality, as well as clinical and biochemical parameters, in patients with severe COVID-19 who initiate mechanical ventilatory support.
Zeynep Kamil Maternity and Pediatric Research and Training Hospital
By applying polymerase chain reaction (PCR) test for Covid-19 to preeclampsia patients who applied to our hospital during the Covid-19 pandemic period, we investigated the frequency of Covid-19 related preeclampsia-like syndrome in this patient group.

With the outbreak of 2019 novel coronavirus (2019-nCoV), the frontline medical workers faced enormous stress, including a high risk of infection and inadequate protection from contamination, isolation, patients with negative emotions, a lack of contact with their families, and exhaustion, which may cause mental health problems. The investigators plan to collect the faecal samples and clinical assessments from a part of frontline medical workers in three time points to analyse the changing profile of gut microbiome according to outcomes of 16s rRNA sequencing. The samples from the matched health controls will also be sequenced to compare with the exposed group in gut microbiome community.
