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.

Unfortunately, hospital-acquired weakness is highly prevalent among COVID-19 hospitalized patients, who often require prolonged bed-rest or paralytics for an extended period of time in order to maintain oxygenation. Prolonged bed rest has been associated with pronounced loss of muscle mass that can exceed 10% over the 1st week, which leads to functional impairment and complications post-hospital discharge. Physical therapy and in-hospital mobility program may reduce the incident of hospital-acquired weakness, but they are often impractical for COVID-19 patients. In particular, conventional mobility programs are challenging for those who are being treated in an intensive Care Unit. The purpose of this study is to test feasibility and proof-of-concept effectiveness of daily use of lower extremity electrical stimulation (EE) therapy, as a practical solution to address lower extremity muscle deconditioning, to address chronic consequences of COVID-19 including hospital-acquired weakness.

This study is a 4-arm, multicenter, randomized, partly double- blind, controlled trial to evaluate the safety and efficacy of convalescent serum (CP) or camostat mesylate with control or placebo in adult patients diagnosed with SARS-CoV-2 and high risk for moderate/severe COVID-19. The working hypothesis to be tested in the RES-Q-HR study is that the early use of convalescent plasma (CP) or camostat mesylate (Foipan®) reduces the likelihood of disease progression to modified WHO stages 4b-8 in SARS-CoV-2 positive adult patients at high risk of moderate or severe COVID-19 progression. The primary endpoint of the study is the cumulative number of individuals who progressed to or beyond category 4b on the modified WHO (World Health Organization) COVID-19 ordinal scale within 28 days after randomization.

This is a prospective, randomized placebo-controlled double blinded clinical trial in frontline healthcare workers managing COVID-19 patients. Participants will be weekly tested for SARS-CoV-2 and a panel of respiratory viruses. Treatment will be 3times a day for 84 days one puff into each nostirl and 3 puffs into mouth. Daily a symptom score will be recorded. The primary objective of the trial is to demonstrate that prophylactic treatment of health care workers managing COVID-19 patients with iota-carrageenan reduces symptoms of SARS-CoV-2 infections as well as infections with other respiratory viruses when compared to a placebo-treated control group.

Background: Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19), caused by Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), emerged as a potentially life-threatening disease in Wuhan, China, at the end of 2019. Since then, it has spread to almost 200 countries and infection rates are rapidly accelerating. Overactivation of T cells resulting in immune dysfunction, dysfunction of the renin angiotensin system, and antibody-dependent enhancement are thought to contribute to the cytokine storm that results in acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), culminating in death. In addition to causing respiratory symptoms, SARS-CoV-2 can cause diarrhea and has been isolated from the stool. SARS-CoV-2 binds to Angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE2) on lung alveolar type 2 cells, but ACE2 is also expressed in the absorptive enterocytes from the ileum and colon. The diarrhea may be caused by increased intestinal permeability due to binding of these receptors by the SARS-CoV-2. Thus, an intervention to attenuate this cytokine storm may improve clinical outcomes in people with COVID-19. One such intervention is oral administration of serum bovine immunoglobulins, which decreases interleukin-6 (IL-6) levels safely with minimal side effects. Animal and human clinical studies have shown dietary supplementation with oral immunoglobulins improves mucosal immunity, specifically respiratory/pulmonary and GI mucosa, and decreases systemic inflammation, reducing the symptoms and severity of pulmonary inflammation and viral infections. Hypothesis: Dietary supplementation with EnteraGam® will decrease IL-6 levels and prevent disease progression in SARS-CoV-2 infected individuals. Objectives: To evaluate the effectiveness of the oral nutritional therapy EnteraGam® (serum-derived bovine immunoglobulin/protein isolate) to prevent disease progression of COVID-19 and to decrease IL-6 levels as compared to standard of care in subjects with COVID-19. Methods: Randomized open-label clinical study evaluating the effectiveness of EnteraGam® 10.0 g BID (every 12 hours) added to standard of care, as compared to standard of care alone, in subjects with COVID-19.

The aim of this study is to evaluate the preliminary safety and performance of a low-cost locally-made Venturi-based Non-invasive Positive Pressure Ventilator (NIPPV) device for hypoxemic COVID-19 patients. The device administers Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (CPAP) therapy using the jet-mixing or Venturi effect to increase the volume flow rate of oxygenated air from a pressurized cylinder by entraining the atmospheric air. To provide CPAP therapy, this high flow of oxygenated air is delivered to the patient via a low-cost non-vented mask with a tight seal with a High-Efficiency Particulate Air (HEPA) filter connected to the exhalation limb. The tight seal and HEPA filter ensures a minimal risk of aerosol generation and thus the device can be used without a negative pressure room. The system consists of the developed Venturi-based flow-generator, a standard 22mm breathing tube, a standard Y-connector, a non-vented CPAP mask (e.g., snorkel mask, helmet), a HEPA filter, and a Positive End Expiratory Pressure (PEEP) valve. The bench-top testing of the device is done in the laboratories of BUET and was verified that the device performs within the CPAP guidelines provided by the Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA), UK. This study aims to assess the safety of and efficacy of the device in three different steps: (1) design validation, (2) clinical feasibility and (3) pilot clinical trial for safety and efficacy evaluation. Only if the device successfully passes the parts 1 and 2, the investigators will proceed to the final clinical trial in step 3. In this final step, the investigators aim to conduct a randomized controlled trial (RCT) evaluating for non-inferiority of the CPAP intervention compared to standard HFNO treatment. The number of ventilator-free days will be used as the primary outcome for efficacy, while patient recovery, death, or need of intubation and other adverse events will be used as secondary outcomes.
Takeda
TAK-919 is a vaccine in development to protect people against Covid-19. The main aims of the study are to learn if TAK-919 can protect people from Covid-19 and to check for side effects from TAK-919. At the first visit, the study doctor will check if each person can take part. Those who can take part will be chosen for 1 of 2 treatments by chance. Participants will either receive an injection of TAK-919 or a placebo in their arm. In this study, a placebo will look like the TAK-919 vaccine but will not have any medicine in it. 3 times as many participants will receive TAK-919 than placebo. Participants will receive 2 injections of TAK-919 or placebo, 28 days apart. Participants will be asked to record their temperature and any medical problems in an electronic diary for up to 7 days after each injection. During the study, participants will visit the clinic for regular check-ups, blood tests, and sometimes for nose swab samples. When all participants have visited their clinic 28 days after their 2nd injection, the study sponsor (Takeda) will check how many participants have made enough antibodies to protect them against Covid-19. The participants will stay in the study for up to 12 months after they have had their 2nd injection. During this time, the study doctors will continue to check how many participants have made enough antibodies to protect them against Covid-19. Also, they will check if participants have any more side effects from TAK-919 or the placebo.
