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.

The investigatores propose to evaluate intravenous administration of convalescent plasma (CP) obtained from COVID19 survivors in patients requiring hospitalization for symptomatic "high risk" COVID19 disease as reflected by the presence of elevated hsTPN. Supportive data exist for use of convalescent plasma in the treatment of COVID19 and other overwhelming viral illness. Investigators hypothesize that treatment with COVID19 CP will demonstrate salutary effects on COVID19 disease severity/duration, with the primary objective to reduce mortality and a key secondary objective to reduce the requirement for and/or duration of mechanical ventilation. Finally, as the hospital mortality for patients requiring mechanical ventilation is very high (50 to 80%), these patients will be eligible for COVID19 CP treatment as well, even in the absence of elevated hsTPN. Although considerable overlap of these populations has been observed (elevated hsTPN and requirement for mechanical ventilation) there is not 100% redundancy and it is hopeful that COVID19 CP may provide benefit to these critically ill patients.

Background: There are no proven therapies for COVID-19 infection. COVID-19 infects the respiratory epithelium of the lower airways, causing widespread damage via cytopathic effects, resulting in severe inflammation and Pneumonitis. High local and circulating levels of cytokines, or cytokine storm, can lead to capillary leak syndrome, progressive lung injury, respiratory failure and acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). Methods: This is a pilot randomized, controlled, uni-center study testing safety and efficacy of cytokine filtration on patients with severe ARDS. Eligible patients will be randomized to 72 hours filtration or no filtration on top of the standard treatment for ARDS. Indications for randomization are patients with moderate or severe ARDS with need of ventilation support (either invasive or non-invasive), with inflammatory markers. The primary outcome will be days on mechanical ventilation (MV) support. Secondary outcomes are 30-day mortality, ICU days, need for extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) support, duration of renal replacement therapy (RRT) and catecholamine therapies, hospital length of stay, multi-organ failure. All analysis will be done according to the intention to treat principle.

There is very little data so far to determine whether people living with HIV (PLWHIV) are at greater risk of COVID-19 acquisition or severe disease. HIV infection is associated with deficiencies in both humoral and cell-mediated immunity that could potentially alter the course and severity of common infections. The investigators will study the correlation between clinical and immunovirological data. The singularity of this work is to have an in-depth immunovirological approach linked to the clinical characteristics in COVID-19 HIV co-infected patients. COVIDHIV is the only study to date to offer this combined approach in PLWHIV. This protocol is a historical and prospective cohort study of PLWHIV presenting COVID-19 The primary objectives are to describe the course of COVID-19 disease in patients infected with HIV

The purpose of this registry study is to investigate the effectiveness and safety of the Seraph® 100 Microbind® Affinity Blood Filter (Seraph 100) in the treatment of COVID-19 patients.
Guy's and St Thomas' NHS Foundation Trust
This is a prospective observational cohort study of healthcare workers working in high-risk COVID-19 clinical areas, monitoring heart rate, sleep and temperature, correlating with daily self-reported symptoms, oxygen saturations and PCR Swabs. It will provide information about how many healthcare workers develop COVID-19, what their clinical observations and symptoms are.

This is a multicenter, randomized, controlled, open-label clinical trial testing the use of ozone auto-hemotherapy in hospitalized patients with Covid-19 pneumonia. Eligible patients will be randomly assigned to receive either ozone auto-hemotherapy plus standard treatment, or standard treatment alone. Patients in the ozone auto-hemotherapy group will receive treatment mixing 100-200ml of blood with ozone at a concentration of 40 μg / mL with a gas volume of 200 ml. Treatment will occur every 12h during 5 days. Standard treatment will be the one used in each hospital participating in the trial. All analyses will be done according to the intention-to-treat principle

The noval coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) would cause physical and psychological dysfunctions in infected patients. We expect that an intelligence-based remote pulmonary rehabilitation scheme could improve patients' health status after hospital discharge. The intelligence-based remote pulmonary rehabilitation program is designed in a real-world and prospective manner, aiming to evaluate the efficacy of rehabilitation among 200 patients in the epicenter of China (Wuhan City) according to their varied adherence. An eight-week rehabilitation scheme, including two weeks for physicians and physiotherapists remotely guided training, and six weeks for patient self-management, will be addressed. The primary outcome of current study is six-minute walking distance and lung function, and secondly respiratory muscle strength, physical fitness assessment, symptoms and quality of life, etc. will also be assessed. Recruited patients will be followed up at week 2, 4, 8 after enrollment and at month 1, 3, 6, 12 after the rehabilitation training completed, respectively. The study has been approved by the ethics committee of China-Japan Friendship Hospital and three participating centers in Wuhan City.
