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.

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.

Preparation of safe purified hyper immunoglobulins containing anti-Corona VS2 immunoglobulins from plasma collected from COVID19 convalescent patients to be used to: 1. 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

Convalescent plasma is a way to provide passive immunity to a person exposed to an infectious agent. It has been used as a therapeutic tool for emerging viral infections without specific treatment and with high morbidity and mortality, such as Influenza H1N1, H5N1, H7N9, Ebola, MERS, SARS-CoV1, and even SARS-Cov2, with satisfactory results regarding evolution clinic of patients treated and without significant adverse events reported. One of its main advantages of convalescent plasma is to generate a rapid immune response (even faster than a vaccine), against a pathogen that circulates in a specific geographic area, probably common for both donor and recipient.

The Malaysian COVID-19 Anosmia Study is a nationwide multicentre observational study to investigate the prevalence and characteristics of olfactory and gustatory/taste disturbances in COVID-19 infection in Malaysia, and to evaluate the predictive value of screening for these symptoms in COVID-19 infection. This study consists of two phases: the first phase is a cross-sectional study and the second phase is a case-control study. The case-control study is described here (the cross-sectional study is described in a separate ClinicalTrials.gov record).

CovidSurg-Cancer is an international, multicentre, observational cohort study designed to evaluate the 30-day COVID-19 infection rates in elective cancer surgery during the COVID-19 pandemic. Centres can elect to include one or more cancer types in the study, in any combination, depending on local expertise and capacity. During the pilot study, investigators should enrol patients with confirmed diagnoses of: - Colorectal cancer - Oesophagogastric cancer As a rapid response study to the COVID-19 pandemic, included cancer types will evolve throughout the course of the CovidSurg-Cancer study period, for example, to include breast, liver, pancreatic, gynaecological, urological cancers, or sarcomas.

Passive immunotherapy through plasma infusion of convalescent subjects - convalescent plasma - or "hyperimmune" plasma was one of the most widespread and effective anti-infective treatments in the pre-antibiotic era and one of the founding pillars of immunology, and has also been used during the SARS (2002-2003) and Ebola (2014-2016) viral epidemy for which there were no alternative immunoprophylactic or therapeutic interventions. To date, there are not proven etiological therapies for SARS-CoV-2 infection, the agent responsible for the disease called Covid-19. Among those subjected to clinical studies during the current epidemic in China, hyperimmune plasma appears to be one of the most rational and promising. The objective of this study will be to evaluate the efficacy and safety of the hyperimmune plasma administered add-on to the anti-Covid-19 treatment (standard therapy) according to clinical practice in patients with severe Covid-19 infection, compared to patients with severe Covid-19 infection treated only with standard therapy.

Prone position ventilation is frequently used in the ICU to treat severe hypoxemia in patients with COVID-19 associated acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). The aim of the PROVENT-COVID study is to assess whether applying prone position ventilation immediately after intubation reduces the duration of mechanical ventilation compared to prone position ventilation according to standard criteria for prone position.

Covid-19 In Tunisia: AN Observational Cross-Sectional Registry Study
Unity Health Toronto
COVID-PRONE is a multicenter, pragmatic, unblinded, 2-arm, parallel, randomized controlled trial seeking to compare the pre-emptive prone positioning (i.e. encouraging patients to adopt a prone position before they require mechanical ventilation) to the control arm of standard care alone. Randomization will be stratified by site.
