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 2019 coronavirus-induced infection (COVID-19) has caused a pandemic that has spread worldwide. Up to date, many subjects affected by the virus report important sequelae on different organs increasing morbidity and exacerbating previous pathological conditions. Mortality is also increased in cases of comorbidities such as cardiovascular disease, hypertension and diabetes. COVID-19 infection is caused by Coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2). Concerning the specific interaction of SARS-CoV-2 with the cardiovascular system, we know that this virus enters the body through the receptors for the conversion of angiotensin II (ACE2r) that are present in the lungs, heart, intestinal epithelium and vascular endothelium. This receptor's availability suggests a multi-organ involvement with a consequent multi-organ dysfunction, as found in patients affected by SARS-CoV-2 infection. Furthermore, poor vascular peripheral function -usually correlated with old age and long periods of bed rest or hypomobility- is a distinguishing characteristic of the population affected by COVID-19, as well. Thus, it is reasonable to expect that peripheral vascular function, already deteriorated by aging and common age-related diseases, can be further compromised by COVID-19 and by the forced hypomobility, typically experienced during the acute phase of the disease. The main aim of this project will be to investigate the peripheral NO-mediated vascular function in the leg of patients recovering from Covid-19 pneumonia. A significant vascular dysfunction is expected to be found in post COVID individuals and to be correlated to the relevant clinical variables.

The investigators are conducting a pilot trial where they will study safety, efficacy and compliance in a cohort of ambulatory patients in the Ghent region with confirmed COVID-19 infection, in both an early stage of disease, defined as less than 5 days of symptoms and who at presentation do not meet any criteria for hospitalisation as well as asymptomatic individuals with a PCR CT value below 30. The primary endpoint is to assess the efficacy of the drug in terms of change from day 0 to day 5 in respiratory (oropharyngeal swab RT-PCR) log10 viral load. The aim of the study is to assess whether Camostat, a serine protease inhibitor available in an oral formulation has the potential to be studied as an antiviral drug in a large scale ambulatory setting to prevent transmission by decreasing viral load, to prevent symptoms after exposure (PEP) in asymptomatic individuals or to prevent disease progression in the occurrence of early symptomatology.

It is expected that large numbers of healthcare workers will experience a broad range of psychological reactions and symptoms including anxiety, depression, moral distress, and trauma symptoms that will cause both significant suffering as well as occupational and social impairment. The purpose of this study is to find interventions which are helpful in treating psychological distress in healthcare workers caring for COVID-19 patients. There are two phases of the study. All participants will take part in Phase I, which consists of 4 sessions over a two-week period of either a narrative writing intervention or a medical music intervention. Participants will be randomly assigned to the narrative writing intervention or medical music intervention. After Phase I, participants will be re-assessed. Healthcare workers who meet criteria for PTSD will be given the option to participate in Phase II of the study, in which they will be offered a choice between one of two evidence-based treatments for PTSD: Interpersonal Therapy (IPT) or Exposure Therapy (ET). Both treatments are comprised of ten 75-minute sessions scheduled twice weekly. Participants will be allowed to choose a preferred treatment in Phase II. After Phase II participants will complete a final assessment concluding the study. All interventions will be offered using distance technology.

CovIdentify is a research initiative to promote early detection of COVID-19 infections from wearable device data. CovIdentify will primarily be a feasibility study to explore the potential of wearables to detect COVID-19 infection. The investigators will refine our previous statistical and machine learning-based anomaly detection algorithms toward COVID-19 detection using personalized models of health and detect deviations indicative of infection. The investigators will validate and test specificity and sensitivity of the models for detecting COVID-19 infection vs. non-infection against symptom surveys and COVID-19 test results and hospital admissions data.

Although recognized as an autoimmune disease the etiology of type 1 diabetes remains unknown. Virus infections has been suggested as a possible agent triggering the autoimmune reaction finally resulting in beta-cell destruction and fate of insulin secretion. SARS Cov-2 virus enters the infected cells by binding to the ACE-2 receptor, which is abundant in many tissues including the pancreas. Accordingly, SARS Covid-19 infection may trigger the development of type 1 diabetes either by an activation of the immune system or directly via beta-cell infection and destruction. Our aim is to study the impact of the Covid-19 epidemic on the development of type 1 diabetes. This will be done in two ways: a clinical study and an epidemiological follow up. During the next two years, adult patients with newly diagnosed type 1 diabetes will be asked to participate. Type 1 diabetes will be diagnosed by usual means and a mixed meal tolerance test will be performed at time of diagnosis and after one year to evaluate beta-cell function. People with type 1 diabetes and serologically documented previous SARS Covid-19 will be compared with people with no previous infection regarding beta-cell function and fate of insulin secretion. In addition, we will estimate the number of new diagnosed type 1 diabetes patients compared to previous years.

The respiratory distress that goes with COVID-19 infection has been related to a procoagulant state, with thrombosis at both venous and arterial levels, that determines hypoxia and tissue dysfunction at several organs. The main sign of this thrombotic activity seems to be the D-Dimers, that have been proposed to identify patients with poor prognosis at an early stage. Knowledge on how to prevent or even treat this procoagulant state is scarce. COVID-19 patients may be out of general thromboprophylaxis recommendations, and recent studies suggest a better prognosis in severe COVID-19 patients receiving anticoagulant therapy with low molecular weight heparin (LMWH). However, the LMWH efficacy and safety, mainly in patients admitted to an Intensive Care Unit, remains to be validated.
