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.

Impacts of the Covid-19 epidemic and associated lockdown measures on the management, health and behaviors of cystic fibrosis patients during the 2020 epidemic

When the COVID-19 virus infects a person, it enters the lung epithelial cells of its host and uses its genetic material to replicate. The pulmonary epithelial cells of a part of the population, known as "secretors", are capable of expressing the antigens of the "ABO" system on their surface. This secretory status can be established by determining the antigens of the Lewis blood group system. When the virus replicates in an "secreting" individual, the antigens of the "ABO" system of the infected individual will be present on the surface of the viruses formed in his/her lungs. It was shown in 2003 that the response of a given individual to the transmission of a virus depends on his/her blood group and on the antigens of the "ABO" system carried by the virus. A patient of group "O" would thus defend himself much better against a virus carrying antigens of blood group "A", the natural antibodies "anti-A" of the patient reducing the ability of the virus to bind to its specific receptor on pulmonary epithelial cells, to penetrate them to replicate itself. The first data collected in Wuhan (China) seems to confirm this hypothesis. A COVID-19 virus transmission model can therefore be established on the basis of blood groups. In order to reduce the spread of the virus among nursing staff, it is possible to establish a preferential algorithm for patient management based on the "ABO" and "Lewis" blood groups of patients and "ABO" of nursing staff in health care units, if operational and human conditions allow.

The objective of this study is to look for the presence of SARS-CoV-2 in the semen of patients diagnosed with COVID+ based on RT-PCR analysis of nasopharyngeal swabs.
AO GENERIUM
It is a multicenter, open-label, randomized, parallel-group study of the efficacy and safety of Tigerase® (GENERIUM JSC, Russia) with standard therapy versus standard therapy in patients with COVID-19.
University of Wisconsin, Madison
The purpose of this research study is to evaluate and improve a rapid COVID-19 test. The test is designed to identify people who are most contagious and likely to spread the virus to others. This test will be performed at various locations in the Madison area using a mobile laboratory or standard lab space for processing. Saliva samples can be collected and processed at these locations or participants can self-collect at home and drop their samples off at designated locations for same day processing. Results of potential findings of clinical significance will be communicated to the participants by a physician with appropriate expertise on the study team. Individuals with a potential finding of clinical significance will be encouraged to self-isolate and obtain a diagnostic test at their earliest convenience. No results will be given if the test is negative. If the participant consents, advanced molecular testing such as PCR or viral sequencing can be done and results can be shared via online databases, presentations and publications along with the date, site and county of collection to help facilitate tracking the spread of the virus.

COVID-19 is increasingly affecting children but convalescent plasma (CP) has not been adequately studied in children to date. The study will determine safety of convalescent plasma for pediatric patients with severe, or at high risk for severe, COVID-19 disease.
University of California, Los Angeles
The purpose of this research is to conduct a cross-sectional survey to investigate how people's lifestyle decisions and social distancing choices are affected by the medical information they receive. The hypothesis is that a positive COVID-19 test result will lead to study participants having the greatest self-isolation intentions compared to those who are only clinically diagnosed for COVID-19 without a confirmatory diagnostic test result or those who receive a negative COVID-19 test result.

Can Nanotechnology Biomarker Tagging (NBT) be used to detect COVID-19 infection in people presenting for COVID-19 testing? NBT can be used to detect the substances present in a person's breath. In this study the breath of people presenting for COVID-19 testing is going to be analysed. Analysing a large number of samples from people with COVID-19 (as confirmed by the standard swab test used by the NHS) will enable a breath profile to be produced, ie the substances present in the breath when someone has COVID-19. After the profile has been validated, NBT can be used to test whether or not a person has COVID-19 by seeing if their breath matches the profile. Using this technology for COVID-19 testing has advantages over the current standard test. The sample can be analysed immediately in the clinical setting and the results are available in 5-10 minutes, so if the person tests negative they can go back to their normal life straight away. The current swab test takes around 72 hours for the results to be available, and the person needs to self-isolate during this time in case they test positive, resulting in potentially unnecessary days of work missed and inconvenience. The breath test is non-invasive and is unlikely to cause any discomfort, as the person is only required to breath normally into the device. This study will also review the practicalities of using this test. It is quick and easy to train people in how to carry out the test, so it could potentially easily be rolled out to testing sites.

This study will study the potential utility of the Quantra QPlus System in patients inflicted with COVID-19 disease.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the feasibility, acceptability and effectiveness of a brief, telehealth intervention (the Emotional Support Plan), intended to support autistic adults to cope with their negative emotions during and/or after the COVID-19 pandemic. The first objective is to develop and refine a brief telehealth-delivered treatment, the Emotional Support Plan (ESP), to help promote adults to cope during periods of acute distress, such as those experienced during the COVID-19 pandemic. The second objective is to assess the feasibility and effectiveness of the ESP to support autistic adults to implement emotion regulation strategies during periods of acute distress. The last objective is to yield preliminary data to apply for extramural grants to validate these methods to monitor and support mental health of autistic adults during key transitions (e.g., starting college).
