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.

The 2019 coronavirus-induced infection (COVID-19) has caused a pandemic that has spread worldwide. Up to date, many subjects affected by the virus report important sequelae on different organs increasing morbidity and exacerbating previous pathological conditions. Mortality is also increased in cases of comorbidities such as cardiovascular disease, hypertension and diabetes. COVID-19 infection is caused by Coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2). Concerning the specific interaction of SARS-CoV-2 with the cardiovascular system, we know that this virus enters the body through the receptors for the conversion of angiotensin II (ACE2r) that are present in the lungs, heart, intestinal epithelium and vascular endothelium. This receptor's availability suggests a multi-organ involvement with a consequent multi-organ dysfunction, as found in patients affected by SARS-CoV-2 infection. Furthermore, poor vascular peripheral function -usually correlated with old age and long periods of bed rest or hypomobility- is a distinguishing characteristic of the population affected by COVID-19, as well. Thus, it is reasonable to expect that peripheral vascular function, already deteriorated by aging and common age-related diseases, can be further compromised by COVID-19 and by the forced hypomobility, typically experienced during the acute phase of the disease. The main aim of this project will be to investigate the peripheral NO-mediated vascular function in the leg of patients recovering from Covid-19 pneumonia. A significant vascular dysfunction is expected to be found in post COVID individuals and to be correlated to the relevant clinical variables.

This is a prospective, randomized (1:1), double blind study of Convalescent anti-SARS-CoV-2 MBT Plasma (also known as convalescent plasma) plus standard medical treatment (SMT) versus placebo plus SMT in mild or moderate COVID-19 patients who are non-hospitalised. Subjects with confirmed infection by SARS-CoV-2 will receive SMT plus a total of 200-300 mL of convalescent plasma that has been pathogen-inactivated using MBT or placebo. Approximately 474 individuals will be randomized (1:1) with an interim analysis after the first 60 subjects (30 in each arm). The sample size will be re-assessed upon interim analysis. Approximately 135 individuals from selected study sites will be included in the substudy to assess the immune response and the methods of sampling.

The investigational product will be administered by IV infusion at baseline. Participants will continue their standard medical treatment (SMT) for SARS-CoV-2 infection as prescribed by their regular physician. If applicable, SMT may be modified during the study, depending on personal requirements, the severity and progression of the disease, and need for hospitalization. Subjects' participation (from inclusion/baseline visit to the end-of-study visit) will be up to 60 days.

The primary goal for this study is to assess whether receiving the results of an antibody test changes protective behavior to avoid SARS-CoV-2 infections (i.e., mask-wearing, physical distancing, limiting close contacts/avoiding crowds, hand-washing, avoiding contact with high-risk individuals). While studies have been published on the cross-sectional relationship between risk perception and other demographic characteristics and health behaviors that are protective for SARS-CoV-2 infection (see citations), there have been no studies showing the effect of receiving information about antibody positivity on protective behavior. Not only can results from this study be used to better model transmission, a better understanding of college student's risk perception around SARS-CoV-2 infections has implications for future vaccination strategies as well. There are concerns that a desire to return to "normal" life in combination with reduced perception of risk could have negative consequences for uptake of vaccination (Johns Hopkins Center for Health Security 2020 report, The Public's Role in COVID-19 Vaccination: Planning Recommendations Informed by Design Thinking and the Social, Behavioral, and Communication Sciences). The antibody test used in this study is named 'SARS-CoV-2 IgM/IgG rapid assay kit (Colloidal Gold)'. It provides a fast, on-site, and accurate detection of IgM/IgG antibodies against SARS-CoV-2, with positive results of IgM antibodies indicating a recent infection, while positive results of IgG antibodies signaling a longer or previous infection. It can detect IgM and IgG antibodies against SARS-CoV-2 in human specimens of serum, plasma, or venous whole blood.

Codagenix, Inc
This is the first study of COVI-VAC in humans. The purpose of the study is to evaluate the safety and immune response of COVI-VAC (a live attenuated vaccine to prevent COVID-19) in healthy adults aged 18 to 30 years. Approximately 48 participants will be enrolled into 1 of 3 dose groups (low, medium, high). Within each of these dose groups, participants will be assigned randomly to receive either 2 doses of COVI-VAC 28 days apart, 2 doses of placebo (saline), or 1 dose of COVI-VAC and 1 dose of placebo. COVI-VAC or placebo is administered by drops into each nostril. Neither the participants nor the researchers will know whether COVI-VAC or placebo has been received. To assess the safety of the vaccine, each participant will record symptoms and oral temperature in a diary daily for 14 days after each dose. Safety laboratory tests, physical exams, ECGs, and a chest X-ray will also be performed, and peak expiratory flow and vital signs will be measured. Adverse events and medication use will be recorded. Blood samples and intranasal samples will be collected to assess the immune response from the vaccine.

Of the many treatments proposed for COVID-19, few directly address the severe hypoxia among COVID-19 patients. Interim results from our single-center, non-randomized clinical trial (NCT04332081) suggest that hyperbaric oxygen therapy may reduce inpatient mortality or the need for mechanical ventilation among COVID-19 patients by more than half. Hyperbaric oxygen therapy is delivered by increasing the atmospheric pressure surrounding a patient, which results in increased oxygen delivery to a patient's blood at a rate higher than any other available modality. It is already FDA-approved for several indications, including conditions with impaired gas exchange and severe infectious processes. Furthermore, several studies have found that hyperbaric oxygen therapy inhibits the production of proinflammatory cytokines, which may play a role in the pathophysiology of COVID-19. The goal of this proposal is to perform a multi-center, randomized controlled trial to evaluate the short-term and long-term efficacy of hyperbaric oxygen therapy for COVID-19 patients. This proposal will rigorously test whether hyperbaric oxygen therapy can reduce the substantial mortality and morbidity of this challenging disease.
