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.

The goal, with this study, is to leverage Northwell Health System's diverse workforce and robust testing structures, to contribute data-driven, evidence-based strategies to better understand the sustained prevalence of antibodies and how conferred immunity may be modified by environmental factors. The objective is to investigate the COVID-19/SARS-CoV-2 disease prevalence and trajectory over time, by conducting follow-up antibody testing on employees who consented to participate in research during the initial workforce offering. From 70,812 employees contacted, 46,117 were tested and received initial results. Of those participants, approximately, 32,000 agreed to be re-contacted, and 34,000 consented to research. The investigators plan to conduct an additional five rounds of testing that would sample individuals over a two-year period. This study is significant because it leverages Northwell Health's advanced laboratory systems to conduct serosurveillance of antibodies to COVID-19/SARS-CoV-2 across a large and diverse workforce, while taking into account the contextual environmental and occupational exposures that may modify continued immunity to the virus. Northwell Health's employee health services (EHS) is poised to act quickly to adapt policies and practices, where needed, to protect the workforce. The study is also innovative because it will be linking work environment and community measures with COVID-19 seropositive prevalence patterns over time, to build a better understanding of the disease and its controls at the population level. The expected outcomes include serial serology results as a measure of full or partial short-term (6 months) and long-term (2 year) immunity to re-infection and recognition of local environmental factors (e.g., building ventilation rates, zip code, air quality indicators) that could modify this immunity and assist with protecting the workforce and surrounding community. These results could inform national and global policies.

The new SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus is an emerging virus originating in Wuhan, China that has spread rapidly throughout the world. As of March 24, 2020, China had reported 81,767 cases with 3,281 deaths, and the World Health Organization (WHO) declared coronavirus 19 (COVID-19) a pandemic. COVID-19 disease is currently a pandemic without specific therapeutic agents and substantial mortality. So it is of utmost importance to find new treatments. Various therapies, such as Remdesivir and Favipiravir, are being investigated but the antiviral efficacy of these drugs is not yet known. The use of convalescent plasma was used as an empirical treatment during the Ebola virus outbreaks in 2014 and in 2015 a protocol was established for the treatment of the Middle East respiratory syndrome coronavirus (MERS) with convalescent plasma. This approach with other viral infections such as SARS-CoV, H5N1 avian influenza and H1N1 influenza suggesting that plasma transfusion from convalescent donors was effective. For this study, plasma from convalescent donors will be collected from those donors who have recovered from SARS-CoV-2 and are between 10 and 14 days after illness. Immunoassays will be carried out to detect total IgM and IgG antibodies against SARS-CoV-2. Patients will receive 1 to 3 convalescent plasma transfusions, depending on the response to treatment. The expected results are: normal body temperature, decrease in viral load or negative between 10-12 days after transfusion of convalescent plasma, which does not progress to ARDS, extubation of mechanical ventilation within two weeks of treatment, recovery of patient.

COVID 19 is a novel and severe disease. One of the problems is that the virus disturbs the lungs and cause water accumulation in lungs alveolus (ARDS). Today, a chest X-ray is the only practical way to check the degree of lung accumulation. However, X-Ray has many limitations and disadvantages. Lung impedance technology allows simple lung fluid monitoring, and found to be effective in HF patients who suffer from a similar problem. The study's aim is to establish a correlation between lung fluid assessed by impedance technique and x-ray examinations. To find a correlation between lung fluid assessment by impedance and clinical parameters of COVID 19 patients.

The SARS-CoV-2 infection was detected in December 2019 in Wuhan City, China. The infection affects all age groups, although childhood is the lowest proportion of those affected. The main clinical manifestations that require hospitalization of infected patients are SARS pneumonia, which may require treatment in the intensive care unit (27%) and its progression into acute respiratory distress syndrome (67%) with life-threatening conditions in almost 25% of patients diagnosed with "SARS-CoV-2 infection". Nervous system damage with SARS-CoV-2 infection has been practically not investigated, but neurological disorders have been reported in 36% of these patients. Finally, the mortality rate associated with the new virus is high in patients who require treatment in intensive care units (62% of cases). Therefore, we are conducting a prospective study to identify acute encephalopathy predictors in patients with COVID-19.

The purpose of this research study is to learn more about the use of viral specific T-lymphocytes (VSTs) when given in the presence of COVID-19 signs and symptoms, caused by the virus SARS-CoV-2. VSTs are cells specially designed to fight viral infections. These cells are created from a blood sample collected from a donor who has recovered from COVID-19 infection. VSTs are investigational meaning that they are not approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). COVID-19 is a new virus and treatment options are evolving rapidly. VSTs have been successfully used to treat many different viral infections and may be beneficial in treating COVID-19 in the absence of other treatments.

This study is to evaluate the utility of the PCL Rapid Antigen Test for Coronavirus (COVID-19) in a real world clinical setting. The PCL test has completed laboratory validation and holds a European CE marking for in vitro diagnostic devices. These tests have been made available to South West Pathology Services as a donation in kind by iPP (Integrated Pathology Partnership). They have been widely used in South Korea. This study will test the practical delivery of the test in terms of time constraints and error rates. We will also compare the objective performance to the current standard diagnostic test for COVID-19 and against a proven serological antibody test when a suitable reference testing becomes available. We will recruit patients having a SARS CoV-2 PCR swab test and ask for consent to test them with the PCL antigen test in parallel. We aim to study 200 patients split across three sites; Musgrove Park Hospital, Basildon University Hospital and Southend University Hospital. The results will not be used to guide clinical decision making. Patients having a COVID PCR test will be asked to read the patient information sheet and asked if they would like to participate. The patients will be asked to have a second nasal/throat swab taken shortly after their swab for the PCR test. Written informed consent will be taken for whole blood or plasma left over from any routine clinical sample to be stored as anonymised samples for future testing once a reference test becomes available. We will report results of the onsite clinical diagnostic test and the PCL antigen test with the number of the kit used, and test date. Anonymised information about year of birth, gender and place of testing will be collected alongside date of onset, symptoms and immunodeficiency status or significant conditions.

Study of SARS-CoV2 Virus (COVID-19) Seroprevalence in the Population of Creil Air Force Base (BA110)
In mid-February 2020, within the Oise (France) cluster, a case of COVID-19 disease caused by a SARS-CoV2 infection was described among the personnel of the Creail Air Force Base (BA110). This resulted in the beginning of an epidemic controlled by epidemiological measures. One month later, containment measures were taken at the national level, measures that also applied to BA110 personnel. These personnel, exposed to both the initial phase of the epidemic and national protection measures, represent an extremely interesting population for understanding the epidemiological dynamics of the virus, particularly at a time when France is lifting the containment measures. It becomes extremely important to understand the levers of viral spread in order to adjust the health measures to be maintained as best as possible. The main objective of this study is to determine the extent of virus diffusion in this highly circulating population, as evidenced by several identified cases of COVID-19.
