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.

This proof of concept study will take place in the US and other countries in approximately 15 clinical sites and will enroll about 40 hospitalized patients diagnosed with COVID-19 infection who have developed pneumonia and require supplemental oxygen. 20 patients will receive opaganib in addition to standard of care twice each day for 14 days. 20 will receive matching placebo in addition to standard of care unless the patient has been discharged from the hospital without requiring supplemental oxygen, in which case study drug will only be administered for 10 days. All participants will be followed up for 4 weeks after their last dose of study drug.

The purpose of this study is to determine whether hydroxychloroquine is an effective prophylactic regimen to prevent SARS-CoV-2 infection among healthcare workers. Participants will be randomized into two parallel groups. The first arm will evaluate the use of hydroxychloroquine every-other-day plus standard measures of protection for the prevention of SARS-CoV-2. The second arm will evaluate the use of standard measures of protection for the prevention of SARS-CoV-2. The target enrollment is 320 participants. Each study participant will be monitored for SARS-CoV-2 seroconversion in weekly visits or for the development of COVID-19 symptoms for 8 weeks.

Since the start of this epidemic, numerous clinical and fundamental studies have been conducted to best adapt the individual management of COVID-19 cases [1-6]. In parallel with this work, it is necessary to better understand the characteristics of the epidemic in the general population but also in the population working in healthcare settings more exposed to SARS-CoV-2. Seroprevalence studies are therefore particularly useful in order to understand the collective immunization rate and the factors that can explain this immunization.

The COVID-19 pandemic has been spreading continuously, and in Brazil, until May 31, 2020, there have been more than 450.000 cases with more than 28.000 deaths, with daily increases. The present study proposes to evaluate the efficacy and safety of convalescent plasma in treatment of severe cases of COVID-19 in a multicenter, randomized, open-label and controlled study

Patients suffering lung failure, possibly from COVID-19 or hypoxic lung failure, will need life-saving support from a breathing machine. Any patient needing this support requires drugs to keep them sleepy, or "sedated" to be comfortable on this machine. Sedation is made possible by using drugs given through a vein. Unfortunately, these drugs are in short supply worldwide due to the high number of COVID-19 patients needing these machines. Another way to provide sleep is by using gases that are breathed in. These are used every day in operating rooms to perform surgery. These gases, also called "inhaled agents" can also be used in intensive care units and may have several important benefits for patients and the hospital. Research shows they may reduce swelling in the lung and increase oxygen levels, which allows patients to recover faster and reduce the time spent on a breathing machine. In turn, this allows the breathing machine to be used again for the next sick patient. These drugs may also increase the number of patients who live through their illness. Inhaled agents are widely available and their use could dramatically lesson the pressure on limited drug supplies. This research is a study being carried out in a number of hospitals that will compare how well patients recover from these illnesses depending on which type of sedation drug they receive. The plan is to evaluate the number who survive, their time spent on a breathing machine and time in the hospital. This study may show immediate benefits and may provide a cost effective and practical solution to the current challenges caring for patients and the hospital space, equipment and drugs to the greatest benefit. Furthermore, the study will be investigating inflammatory profile and neuro-cognitive profiles in ventilated patients. Finally, this trial will be a team of experts in sedation drugs who care for patients with proven or suspected COVID-19 who need lifesaving treatments.

The FDA has provided an emergency waiver for the use of non-invasive continuous glucose monitors (CGM) in hospitals, so frontline health care providers (in hospitals) can remotely monitor patients with diabetes thus reducing patient's discomfort, limiting exposure to COVID-19 and preserving critical personal protective equipment (PPE). The FreeStyle Libre 14-day system is a continuous glucose monitoring system consisting of a handheld reader (smart phone may be used) and a sensor applied with adhesive to back of the upper arm. In order to evaluate the reliability of the Freestyle Libre CGM for in-patient use, we propose a study which will examine the correlation between the libre CGM data and capillary blood glucose test - the current standard of care taken by the Accuchek Inform II platform.

The primary aim of this study is to examine the efficacy of a one-session, hour-long HIPAA-compliant video platform-based mindfulness + compassion telehealth intervention on reducing feelings of loneliness during COVID-19 quarantine. Participants (n=120) currently isolating due to COVID-19 will be randomized to one of three interventions: (a) mindfulness + compassion (MC); (b) mindfulness alone (MO); and (c) waitlist control (WL). The investigators predict that participants in the active intervention groups (mindfulness or mindfulness + compassion) will show a significantly greater reduction in subjective feelings of loneliness at one week follow-up compared to those in the waitlist control group. Additionally, investigators predict that participants in the active intervention groups will show a significantly greater reduction in stress at one week follow-up compared to those in the waitlist control group. Last, investigators predict that participants in the mindfulness + compassion group will show a significantly greater reduction in subjective feelings of loneliness at the 2-week follow-up follow-up relative to those in the mindfulness only group.

The COVID-19 pandemic has undoubtedly elevated levels of stress to people all over the globe, but none more than to the providers on the front-line. The purpose of the study is to first, assess the effects of the pandemic on burnout, team cohesion, and resiliency among healthcare providers battling COVID-19 together in a medical ICU (MICU). Secondly, the investigators hope to then assess the effects of simple positive feedback on transforming culture and attitudes during times of major stress.
