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.

Coronavirus disease 2019 has forced worldwide the implementation of unprecedented restrictions to control its rapid spread and mitigate its impact. The Spanish government has enforced social distancing, quarantine and home confinement. This restriction of daily life activities and separation from loved ones may lead to social isolation and loneliness with health-related consequences in community-dwelling older adults with mild cognitive impairment or mild dementia and their caregivers. Additionally, an inadequate access to healthcare and social support services may aggravate chronic conditions. Technology home-based interventions emerge for combating social isolation and loneliness preventing the risk of viral exposure. The aim of this multicentre cohort study is to explore, analyze and determine the impact of social isolation on: 1) cognition, quality of life, mood, technophilia and perceived stress of community-dwelling older adults with mild cognitive impairment or mild dementia, and on caregiver burden; 2) health and social care services access and utilization, and 3) cognitive, social and entertainment use of ICTs. This study will be conducted in two Spanish regions Andalucía (Málaga) and Cataluña (Tarrasa). In total 200 dyads, consisting of a person with mild cognitive impairment or mild dementia (PMCI/MD) and their informal caregiver will be contacted by telephone. Potential respondents will be participants of the SMART 4 MD (N=100) and TV-AssistDem (N=100) clinical trials. The change in means in the variables will be analyzed comparing baseline results in the previous studies with those during and after confinement using the ANOVA test of repeated measures or the non-parametric Friedman test if appropriate. The performance of a multivariate analysis of variance (ANCOVA) to introduce possible covariates will also be contemplated. A 95% confidence level will be used.
Kirby Institute
The objectives of this study are to characterise immune responses in people with CoV-SARS-2 infection and use this knowledge to advance vaccine design, treatment options, and diagnostic reagents. Eligible participants will include people diagnosed with SARS-CoV-2 infection, and may include recently returned travellers and non-travellers in the community presenting to tertiary hospital healthcare facilities. Recruitment will be opportunistic, and sampling intensity may vary depending on the phase of the outbreak. Participants can be enrolled at any timepoint (up to 6 months) following diagnosis of SARS-CoV-2 infection (COVID-19). Blood samples and clinical data will be collected.
Bursa Yüksek İhtisas Education and Research Hospital
In the course of COVID disease, some patients need intensive care treatment. We aim to find an answer to the question of whether the patient's CRP, ferritin, D-dimer, Oxygen Saturation, lymphocyte count, and body mass index can be used as a criterion for admitting patients with COVID to the intensive see unit.

To determine efficacy of COVID19 hyper immunoglobulins prepared from convalescent plasma using VIPS Mini-Pool IVIG medical device in the treatment of COVID19 2. To determine efficacy of anti-SARS-CoV-2 hyper immunoglobulins in the prevention of infection in high risk groups exposed to SARS-CoV-2 infection
Institut Bergonié
The question of the immune response of the population, particularly of professional populations in contact with vulnerable populations (such as those with chronic conditions such as cancer), is an important issue. Knowing the evolution of this response over time in this population can help answer outstanding questions. The PRO-SERO-COV study is a seroprevalence study of caregivers working in the hospital sector with a follow-up at 3 months and 12 months. The objective is to evaluate and monitor at 3 and 12 months the serological immune status to an infection by the SARS-CoV-2 virus in active volunteer professionals working at the Institut Bergonié with different types of exposure: healthcare professionals and professionals in other services.
Fundación Santa Fe de Bogota
The severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) has affected the global population with significant morbidity and mortality. One of the main concerns is the management of the patients since there is no specific treatment for this condition. Therefore, in SARS-CoV-2 patients the compassionate use of off-label therapies has been initiated; such as the use of plasma from convalescent patients. This treatment has been used in other pandemics like SARS-CoV-1, H5N1, H1N1, Ebola, among others. This study is a phase II/III randomized clinical trial to assess the effectiveness and safety of convalescent plasma administration in patients with high-risk SARS-CoV-2.

The COVID virus is acquired through droplet and micro droplet transmission. Although healthcare workers must adhere to strict up-to-date clinical procedures to minimize exposure to the virus and avoid contamination, the assumption that everyone can precisely remember every step is improbable as many of these procedures are quite complex and involve multiple steps in stressful situations. Further the use of a trained safety officer to ensure adherence is not always feasible due to the ever growing demand of healthcare providers. Investigators propose to utilize the Amazon Alexa device and Alexa Skills application to develop a voice enabled virtual assistant to guide healthcare professionals through the exact steps of clinical procedures including the donning and doffing of PPE, intubation and extubation procedures. Methods A total of 10 staff anesthesiologists will be recruited to participate in phase 1 of the study to evaluate the utility and functionality of this VA device. A total of 40 healthcare professionals will be recruited to participate in phase 2 of the study. Anesthesia providers (staff and fellows), anesthesia assistants, respiratory assistants and operating room nurses will be randomized to receive instructional guidance by the VA on one test occasion and a human coach on another occasion. During this phase of the study, the effectiveness of this VA prototype will be compared with a trained human safety officer / coach in its ability to provide instructional guidance for 4 safety and clinical procedures: 1) proper donning of personal protective equipment (PPE); 2) doffing of PPE; 3) intubation (putting in a breathing tube) and 4) extubation (taking out a breathing tube).
