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 project is a prospective, multicentric cohort study aiming at amultidisciplinary assessment (pulmonary, cardiometabolic, sleep and mental health) of theconsequences of infection by SARS-CoV-2, 3 months after the diagnosis in order to bettercharacterize these complications. 400 patients with a positive diagnosis of SARS-CoV-2will be included in the study 3 months after their diagnosis: They will be followed at 6months, 1 year, 3 years, and 5 years, as function of their after-effects discovered at 3months and their evolution.

One-in-four patients with COVID-19 pneumonia develop life-threatening heart problems.Through cardiovascular imaging and biomarkers analyses this study aims to evaluatewhether COVID-19 infection results in heart injury. The investigators will alsoinvestigate which patients are at risk of heart injury as a result of COVID-19 and whyonly some patients suffer heart problems as a consequence of the infection. The studywill also assess multisystem involvement including the lungs and kidneys.

The Açaí trial will be testing if the açaí berry extract, a safe natural product withanti-inflammatory properties, can be used as a treatment option in adult patients withCOVID-19 in the community.
Boston Children's Hospital
This is a randomized double-blind placebo-controlled Phase II trial of recombinant humandeoxyribonuclease I (rhDNase I) - Pulmozyme - in mechanically ventilated patients withCOVID-19 pneumonia.Patients admitted to the ICU with severe COVID-19 pneumonia who require mechanicalventilation will be invited to participate in this study. Potential subjects will beidentified from medical record review or from direct contact with physicians.Investigators will check medical history and confirm eligibility. Informed consent willbe obtained from either the patient or designated healthcare proxy.60 subjects will be enrolled. After obtaining informed consent, patients will berandomized 2:1 to Pulmozyme 2.5 mg BID for up to 28 days or until they are no longerreceiving mechanical ventilation, whichever is sooner plus standard of care vs. placebonormal saline 2.5 ml plus standard of care.

Richmond Research Institute (RRI) is applying existing and new COVID-19 PCR and antibodytests to help develop methodologies which provide fast and accurate results. Infectionwith coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2) is currently a worldwide pandemic and reliable testing forCOVID-19 is crucial to understand who is infected and therefore a risk to others byspreading the infection. RRI are currently carrying out the following tests:A. Using a membrane-based immunoassay to detect IgG and IgM antibodies to SARS-CoV-2 inwhole blood, serum or plasma specimens helps to assess whether an individual haspreviously had the virus and is potentially immuneB. Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) testing using an established method to check foractive SARS-CoV-2 infections.C. Quantification of anti-SARS-CoV-2 IgG and IgM antibodies in whole blood samples.The above tests are being used by RRI to follow infections (PCR) and immunity (IgG) intheir workforce, as well as their families (including children) and visitors to theirsite.Collecting this data allows the gathering of epidemiological data on SARS-CoV-2 includingincidence, prevalence, information on asymptomatic carriers and efficacy of vaccination.Furthermore, identifying individuals that are infected with SARS-CoV-2 has greatpotential to improve health outcomes by allowing infected individuals to seek the correctmedical treatment as well as self-isolate and reduce transmission.

A phase 2/3 study to determine the efficacy, safety and immunogenicity of the candidateCoronavirus Disease (COVID-19) vaccine ChAdOx1 nCoV-19 in healthy UK volunteers.

In the United Kingdom, there are currently 138,000 confirmed patients with coronavirus,causing 18,738 deaths. Whilst the disease may be mild in the majority of patients, asignificant proportion of patients require intensive care therapy and a ventilator due tolung injury. In addition to lung injury/failure (acute respiratory distress syndrome(ARDS)), around 50% of patients admitted to intensive care develop acute kidney injury(AKI) (requiring advanced support via haemofiltration) and multi-organ failure.It is unclear why patients suffering from COVID-19 develop such severe lung injury(requiring life support or ventilation) or indeed why patients develop other organdysfunction such as kidney injury. The investigators hypothesis that this may due to anover-reaction of the immune system particularly in the lungs. This then results in therelease of various mediators and biological messengers which can be pushed into the bloodbloodstream (exacerbated by positive pressure generated by the ventilator). Thesemediators then travel, via the blood, to other organs such as the kidney where they causeinflammation and injury of cells, resulting in organ failure.The investigators would like to apply their well-established laboratory methods tofurther the scientific community's knowledge of this severe and deadly viral conditionand we hope that this would lead to the development of medication that would treat thisdeadly virus.

Prospective nationwide cohort study of pregnant women enrolled early in gestation andfollowed for Covid-19 exposure and infection, with follow up of obstetrical outcomes andinfant development through the first year of life.
National Cancer Institute (NCI)
This study collects blood samples, medical information, and medical images from patientswho are being treated for cancer and have a positive test for SARS CoV-2, the newcoronavirus that causes the disease called COVID-19. Collecting blood samples, medicalinformation, and medical images may help researchers determine how COVID-19 affects theoutcomes of patients undergoing cancer treatment and how having cancer affects COVID-19.

Primary care physicians face limited availability of therapeutic options for thetreatment of COVID-19 in the outpatient setting. Furthermore, monoclonal antibodies andantiviral therapies that are currently approved for use in the outpatient setting byHealth Canada have excluded pregnant women and older adults from their clinical trials,are contraindicated for many patients, and most are prohibited for use by pregnant women.Identification of a safe, COVID-19 outpatient therapeutic with 20-year safety recordremains urgently needed.
