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.

Is Lung Ultrasound really useful in diagnosing COVID19? What can be the usefulness of the Lung Ultrasound in the COVID19 epidemic? In the current state of the art, Sensitivity, Specificity, Positive Predictive Value (PPV) and Negative Predictive Value (NPV) of Lung Ultrasound in the diagnosis of COVID-19 are not yet known. Alveolar-interstitial lung diseases such as viral pneumonia and ARDS seems to have a specific ultrasound pattern that distinguishes them from bacterial pneumonia, preferentially represented by B lines, morphological irregularity of the pleural line, and small subpleural consolidations, but they could share these patterns with other pathologies, reducing specificity. In Italy, the Lung Ultrasound represents a consolidated method for the evaluation and management of all patients who come to the ER, and what we are sure of is its high sensitivity in identifying pathological patterns. Our preliminary data suggest that Lung Ultrasound is highly reliable not to include but to exclude the diagnosis of COVID-19 in patients with respiratory symptoms.

The noval coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) would cause physical and psychological dysfunctions in infected patients. We expect that an intelligence-based remote pulmonary rehabilitation scheme could improve patients' health status after hospital discharge. The intelligence-based remote pulmonary rehabilitation program is designed in a real-world and prospective manner, aiming to evaluate the efficacy of rehabilitation among 200 patients in the epicenter of China (Wuhan City) according to their varied adherence. An eight-week rehabilitation scheme, including two weeks for physicians and physiotherapists remotely guided training, and six weeks for patient self-management, will be addressed. The primary outcome of current study is six-minute walking distance and lung function, and secondly respiratory muscle strength, physical fitness assessment, symptoms and quality of life, etc. will also be assessed. Recruited patients will be followed up at week 2, 4, 8 after enrollment and at month 1, 3, 6, 12 after the rehabilitation training completed, respectively. The study has been approved by the ethics committee of China-Japan Friendship Hospital and three participating centers in Wuhan City.

The Covid-19 pandemic is a pandemic of an emerging infectious disease, coronavirus 2019 (Covid-19), caused by the coronavirus SARS-CoV-2. It appears in November 2019 in the city of Wuhan, China, and spreads worldwide from February 2020. The first cases of infection in France were confirmed on 24 January 2020. As of April 14, 103,573 cases of infection were confirmed, 32,292 hospitalized cases, including 6,730 in intensive care, with 15,729 deaths recorded1. The most affected regions are Ile de France and the Grand Est (in particular the Haut-Rhin department). Containment of the entire French population was introduced on 17 March, with the aim of reducing the spread of the virus and relieving the burden on the health system, particularly the intensive care units. This unprecedented health crisis, as well as the social containment measures in themselves, has repercussions on other acute medical pthologies, not directly related to the viral infection. It appears that the number of patients treated for acute stroke has suddenly declined since the beginning of the epidemic. However, it is not clear whether it is the incidence of stroke that has declined or simply the proportion of patients presenting within the time frame that allows for treatment in the acute phase (by thrombolysis or thrombectomy).

The current COVID19 pandemic has afflicted almost the whole globe. The stress related to the pandemic, not the direct virus-related injury, can be potentially associated with acute cardiovascular events due to a large list of physical and psychosocial stresses. This study is a cross sectional study that will enroll patients evaluated during the COVID19 pandemic period for acute cardiovascular events.

Patients with the acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) have markedly varied clinical presentations. Main characteristics of mechanically ventilated ARDS caused by COVID-19, and adherence to lung-protective ventilation strategies are not well known.

A dynamic analytical tool is being implemented to monitor the health, psychosocial and economic impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic as the crisis unfolds. A longitudinal survey is distributed via a network of hospitals, provincial/national organizations and web platforms. The survey information can be linked to provincial health administrative data and metrics derived from social media activity based on artificial intelligence methods. Targeted questions are included for critical populations such as healthcare workers and people with chronic illnesses.

The purpose of this pilot study is to measure the impact of non-invasive pneumatic manipulation of transthoracic pressure on oxygenation in patients with Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome (ARDS) due to Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID 19) who are on mechanical ventilator support. This will be achieved by a pneumatic Vest placed around the chest wall of consenting patients who meet inclusion criteria. The Vest is essentially a non-invasive segmental device placed upon the anterior and posterior right and left aspects of the chest wall. The researchers have the ability to inflate and deflate the chambers of the Vest to achieve preset pressures as determined by the protocol and observe the patient's physiological response. Participants will have up to four hours of intervention with the study intervention, followed by 1 hour of post-intervention observation.

The infectious disease COVID-19, caused by coronavirus SARS-CoV-2 (severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2), has been declared a pandemic and an international healthcare emergency by the World Health Organization (WHO). It has spread across the globe, overwhelming healthcare systems by causing high rates of critical illness. Mortality from COVID-19 exceeds 4%, with older people with comorbidities being extremely vulnerable. It is expected that between 50-80% of the world's population may contract SARS-CoV-2 over the next two years. It is expected that the outcomes will be potentially worse in Africa, because firstly, there is a limited workforce, and secondly there are limited intensive care facilities and critical care resources across Africa to provide sufficient care. It is important therefore to establish what resources, comorbidities and interventions are potentially associated with either mortality or survival in patients with COVID-19 who are referred for critical care in Africa. Rapid dissemination of these findings may help mitigate mortality from COVID-19 in critical care patients in Africa. These points provide the rationale for the African COVID-19 Critical Care Outcomes Study (ACCCOS).
