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.

This clinical trial will evaluate the safety, tolerability and effectiveness of topical GLS-1200 nasal spray to reduce the incidence of confirmed, symptomatic SARS-CoV-2 infection.
Northside Hospital, Inc.
The plan is to transfuse COVID-19 infected patients with convalescent plasma and observe whether this will result in a significant improvement in clinical outcome in comparison to historical experience.

The Covid-19 viral pandemic has caused significant global losses and disruption to all aspects of society. One of the major difficulties in controlling the spread of this coronavirus has been the delayed and mild (or lack of) presentation of symptoms in infected individuals, and the insufficient Covid-19 testing capacity in the UK. This warrants the development of alternative diagnostic tools that reliably assess Covid-19 infection in the early stages of infection, while also being low- cost, low-burden, and easily administered to a wide proportion of the population. This study aims to validate machine learning models as a diagnostic tool that predicts infection with SARS-CoV-2 based on app-reported symptoms and phenotypic data, against the 'gold-standard' swab PCR-test. This study will take place within the Covid Symptom Study app, the free symptom tracking mobile application launched in March 2020.

Comparison of the effects of CYT107 vs Placebo administered IM at 10μg/ kg twice a week for two weeks on immune reconstitution of lymphopenic COVID-19 patients.

COVID-19 is a rapidly evolving pandemic with approximately 5% of all patients which require intensive care unit admission. In critically ill patients infected with COVID-19, approximately 15% had severe shock requiring medications to increase blood pressure. It appears that blood vessel tone is altered and microcirculation is not well regulated in patients with COVID-19. The underlying pathophysiology and contributing factors are unknown. The association with subsequent organ dysfunction and outcome is also unclear. Therefore, the investigators aim to investigate serial changes of relevant biomarkers in this population to improve the understanding of this disease, to investigate the association with clinically important outcomes and to find out how best to treat patients. The data will serve to develop strategies for individualised management of this high-risk group.
Guy's and St Thomas' NHS Foundation Trust
This study aims to find out whether the use of angiotensin II, which is a drug to raise blood pressure has been approved by European Medical Agency in August 2019, as an add-on medication to increase blood pressure in patients with COVID-19, acute severe lung injury, inflammation and severe shock, compared with standard medication. In addition, the investigators will collect the data of Anakinra, another drug which is frequently used in this condition to reduce inflammation. The investigators will collect clinical data and outcomes from critical care patients. The investigators will analyse for whom these drugs are most beneficial and explore whether there are any patients who don't benefit or have side effects.
Hellenic Society of Hematology
This is a multicenter, Phase 2 study, to assess the efficacy of the treatment with convalescent plasma in patients with severe COVID-19 infection.
University Hospital Muenster
This research aims to investigate the role of daily measurement of urinary cell cycle arrest markers and other serum and urinary biomarkers to predict the development of acute kidney injury in critically ill patients with COVID-19 and acute respiratory disease.
Jonsson Comprehensive Cancer Center
This is a study of immunosuppressed individuals living in households with and without children to assess the role of household contact with children in the transmission of SARSCoV-2 to immunocompromised individuals. Through careful collection of epidemiological data in combination with biological specimens, risk factors for SARS-CoV-2 in immunocompromised individuals will be identified. During the initial visits, informed consent will be obtained and consented participants will complete an initial questionnaire and provide biological specimens including nasal swabs, saliva and blood. Thereafter, participants will complete at-home saliva collections and questionnaires on a weekly basis for 6 months. If our research-use only SARS-CoV-2 test is positive, participants will be referred immediately for medical attention and will be followed every 3 days with nasal swabs and saliva samples and weekly blood specimens and optional rectal swabs or fresh stool collection. Additionally, participants will be contacted by telephone at 1 year for follow-up.

During the current COVID-19 pandemic many spinal cord injury (SCI) rehabilitation services are limited to emergency management, leaving those living in the community without access to services. Unfortunately, this can lead to negative effects including increase in emotional distress, feelings of isolation, and decreased activity engagement. Due to their limited mobility and greater likelihood of respiratory illness it is imperative to provide alternative forms of activity engagement to reduce their risk for secondary complications. Physical activity has been demonstrate to have numerous benefits for individuals with SCI ranging from enhanced health through prevention of secondary complications to improved subjective well-being. The current study proposes to provide an online physical activity program through web-based videoconferencing to person with SCI to improve overall wellbeing and activity engagement. The program will consist of six weeks of twice-weekly, 45-minute sessions in which an experienced fitness instructor (i.e., wheelchair aerobics) with lived experience and a Kinesiology graduate student will lead online sessions. The sessions will be comprised of a 10-minute warm-up phase, a 25-minute aerobic phase and a 10-minute cool-down phase that will incorporate upper-extremity flexibility exercises and guided meditation. In all cases, remote (i.e., in-home) participant monitoring of physiological signals will be conducted by the instructor to ensure safety of participants. Once the program has been completed, participants will be asked to complete self-report questionnaires related to acceptability, feasibility, and limited effectiveness. Participants will also be asked to complete a brief semi-structured interview examining barriers and facilitators of the program. Participant feedback from the interviews will be used to further develop of the program to meet the needs of the population and develop sustainable approaches for access to care in the community setting through collaborations with community partners (SCI Ontario, National SCI Alliance, Ontario Neurotrauma Foundation). Ultimately, the proposed project aims to improve overall wellbeing and access to health care service for those with SCI during the COVID-19 quarantine.
