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 current prospective study was designed to assess the diagnostic specificity and sensitivity of a novel antigen-based rapid detection test (COVID-VIRO®) on nasopharyngeal specimens in comparison to the reference test in a real-life setting

A comparison of a direct antigen test for SARS-CoV-2 obtained by mid-turbinate swab with the reference standard rt-PCR test obtained by nasopharyngeal swab in outpatients with symptoms compatible with COVID-19.

Severe SARS-CoV-2 disease is characterized by a progressive hypoxemic respiratory failure. Autopsies from these patients show severe endothelial damage with extensive vascular thrombosis, microangiopathy, and occlusion of alveolar capillaries and, finally, evidence of new vessel growth through intussusceptive angiogenesis. This research aims to study endothelial damage and angiogenesis biomarkers and its association with major cardiovascular events.

NAME of STUDY: Surfactant levels in the lungs of COVID-19 patients BACKGROUND - Infection with SARS-CoV-2 may induce respiratory failure. - COVID-19 associated respiratory failure may require ventilatory support. - SARS-CoV-2 uses alveolar type II cells for virus replication. - Alveolar type II cells are responsible for surfactant production and lack of surfactant causes respiratory failure in preterm neonates. - Lack of surfactant may play role for respiratory failure in COVID-19 patients DESIGN Exploratory prospective study design without therapeutic intervention of any kind. Lung fluid will be donated as part of standard care procedures. HYPOTHESIS Surfactant is measurable in tracheal secretions by mid-infrared FTIR spectroscopy determined surfactant spectra. Surfactant is reduced in COVID-19 patients requiring ventilator support as compared to non- COVID-19 patients. Dysfunctional surfactant in COVID-19 patients regain its function when respiratory function improves. POPULATION Main population is patients with COVID-19 pneumonia that requires ventilatory support. OUTCOME MEASURES Primary outcome is the level of surfactant in lung fluid as obtained by tracheal suction. SAMPLE SIZE In total 30 patients will be included: twenty COVID-19 patients and 10 non-COVID-19 patients.

During pandemics older adults with chronic physical conditions are a particularly vulnerable population for unmet mental health needs. This is a consequence of a number of factors which include decreased access to their doctors because of restrictions in visits in order to decrease risk of disease transmission and because doctors are seconded to provide medical services in areas of high priority. Since Public Health authorities worry that pandemics may be a reality of the future, this study is being operationalized during the present COVID-19 pandemic in order to see what can be learned about different ways to provide mental health care under such constraints. The study offers evidence-based approaches to managing feelings of anxiety or depression that may have existed prior to the onset of a pandemic, or that have arisen during a pandemic. It uses principles of cognitive behavioural therapy in which participants are offered self-care tools to help them develop strategies for dealing with their various symptoms. These tools have already been shown by the team to be effective in other contexts in studies DIRECT-sc (Effectiveness of a supported self-care intervention for depression compared to an unsupported intervention in older adults with chronic physical illnesses) and CanDIRECT (Effectiveness of a telephone-supported depression self-care intervention for cancer survivors). The present study, PanDIRECT (Assisting Family Physicians with Gaps in Mental Health Care Generated by the COVID-19 Pandemic), aims to answer the following questions: 1. Can these tools be used in the community care of mental health problems during pandemics? 2. Are they acceptable to patients? 3. Using a randomized control trial, does lay-coaching of use of these tools improve their use and patient outcomes? 4. Do family practitioners value patient information sent to them at the end of the trial

The overall goal of this research program is to evaluate the effectiveness of a Technology-Enabled Collaborative Care program. In this study, we examine the feasibility of such a program, called the Technology-Enabled Collaborative Care (TECC) for type 2 diabetes designed to support patients with diabetes and mental health concerns during COVID-19.

This feasibility study aims to adapt a protocol usually run in the laboratory in the Psychology Department for healthy participants (including the trauma film paradigm (James et al., 2016) and a simple cognitive task intervention) to remote (online) delivery. The motivation for this was restrictions to running in person laboratory experiments during the COVID-19 pandemic. Participants will view film footage with COVID-19 related and potentially traumatic content (e.g. of seriously ill or dying patients in hospitals). Following film viewing, participants will be randomly allocated to either the experimental condition (simple cognitive task intervention, i.e. a memory cue followed by playing the computer game "Tetris" with mental rotation instructions) or the control condition (attention placebo, i.e., a memory cue followed by listening to a podcast for a similar duration). Any intrusive memories induced by the film (analogue trauma) will be monitored in a daily diary. It is predicted that the film (analogue trauma) will generate intrusive memories. If intrusive memories are generated, then it is predicted that participants in the experimental condition will report fewer intrusive memories related to the film (analogue trauma) during the following week than participants in the control condition. The development of this paradigm may inform the future development of a simple technique to prevent intrusive memories e.g. after repeated media consumption related to the COVID-19 pandemic.

For many patients with hematologic disorders and bone marrow failure, hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) or cellular therapy (CART) offers a curative treatment option. Patients after SCT or CART have a variable period of immune deficiency in the post-treatment period. The response to vaccination may affect the outcome of the transplant patients. the immunogenicity of vaccines in this immunosuppressed population is uncertain and variable. HSCT and CAR-T recipients are in a COVID-19 high-risk group and conferring immunity by vaccination at the earliest effective timepoint is desirable. At present, the immunogenicity and efficacy of SARS-CoV-2 vaccines in immune-impaired patients including autologous and allogeneic HSCT recipients is unknown. Furthermore, the impact of GvHD and IST on SARS-CoV-2 vaccine immunogenicity is unknown. the investigators aim to evaluate the vaccination response to COVID vaccines after SCT and CART
