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.

Skin Picking Disorder (SPD) affects up to 10% of the general population, causing significant socioeconomic damage in 75% of affected individuals. It is characterized by the repeated habit of touching the skin itself, causing or aggravating wounds, with difficulty in controlling the habit. It is associated with anxiety disorders in about 20% of cases and with depressive disorder in about 50%. Patients with SPD have difficulties in regulating emotions, being more vulnerable to having their mental symptoms aggravated in face of stressful situations, such as the current coronavirus-19 pandemia. Among the treatments available to SPD, cognitive behavioral therapy is the only intervention superior to placebo, and there is still no medication approved by the FDA indicated specifically to SPD. The effectiveness of cognitive behavioral therapy was assessed in a randomized clinical trial with Brazilian patients with SPD, but its long-term benefit has not yet been evaluated. Additionally, telemedicine interventions can be effective and used during pandemia, but the effectiveness of internet delivered cognitive behavioral therapy for SPD is not clear yet.

A) Comparing the % of change in each clearances of pro-, and anti-inflammatory mediators (cytokine, chemokines and complement) in the COVID-19 patients treated with CytoSorb as compared to the same patient population who do not receive blood purification treatment. B) Testing the Cytokinetic model by measuring cytokines in the blood stream and in the BAL to see if you can create a reverse gradient allowing a massive passage of leucocyte from the blood toward the infected lungs.

This project will establish that pediatric and family medicine residents who complete a hybrid breastfeeding medicine curriculum that includes an asynchronous unfolding case scenario along with telesimulation with a standardized patient (SP) will provide timely, skilled lactation support more frequently than residents randomized to an asynchronous unfolding case scenario followed by videoconference group discussion regarding care for the breastfeeding dyad.

In patients with SARS-CoV-2 or bacterial infection admitted to the intensive care unit (ICU), the state of the intravascular volume, the characteristics of the blood volume components, and the development of a vascular leak is currently unknown. The relationship of these parameters with parameters of cardiac performance, lung edema and sublingual microcirculatory perfusion parameters have never been studied.

The COVID-19 pandemic and the accompanying lockdown measures have made mental health a pressing public health concern. Acts that focus on benefiting others-known as prosocial behaviors-offer one promising intervention that is both flexible and low cost. However, neither the range of emotional states prosocial acts impact nor the size of those effects is currently clear, both of which directly influence its attractiveness as a treatment option. Using a large online sample from Canada and the United States, the investigators will examine the effect of a three-week prosocial intervention on two indicators of emotional well-being (happiness and the belief that one's life is valuable) and mental health (anxiety and depression). Respondents will be randomly assigned to perform prosocial, self-focused, or neutral behaviors each week. Two weeks after the intervention, a final survey will assess whether the intervention has a lasting effect on mental health and emotional well-being. The results will illuminate whether prosocial interventions are a viable approach to addressing mental health needs during the current COVID-19 pandemic, as well for those who face emotional challenges during normal times.

The current pilot study will explore the optimal cost-effective treatment configuration for online group-based weight control by focusing on two aspects of our existing treatment program which have significant associated cost and determine which contribute meaningfully to weight loss outcomes. Specifically, we will explore whether adding synchronous group social support (weekly group video chat sessions facilitated by a trained weight loss counselor) to on demand (asynchronous) social support provided through the program discussion board significantly increases weight losses achieved. We will also examine whether detailed feedback on dietary and physical activity self-monitoring records from a counselor enhances weight loss outcomes in comparison with basic feedback. Finally, we will examine the cost efficiency of the treatment constellations. Further, this pilot study will also explore the feasibility of recruiting participants nationally (rather than just locally) and the capture of data electronically (including body weight measurements) without any in-person contact.

The VOICE-COVID study will evaluate the concordance of screening for symptoms of COVID-19 using a voice based device (Amazon Alexa) compared to manual screening by a study coordinator for individuals entering the Cardiology/Heart Failure clinic at the McGill University Health Centre.

In order to safely and effectively reopen businesses and universities across the US, institutions will need to develop approaches to rapidly identify COVID-19 cases and manage their spread while balancing program effectiveness, feasibility, costs, and scalability. This study will evaluate the implementation of a COVID-19 screening program that coordinates several existing systems at the University of Pennsylvania including saliva-based viral testing.

In this first-in-humans dose escalation study, AZD7442 (AZD8895 + AZD1061) will be evaluated for safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics, and generation of anti-drug antibodies (ADAs). The study is intended to enable future studies of AZD7442's efficacy in preventing and treating COVID-19.
