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.

Coronavirus disease 2019 or COVID-19 is a highly contagious infectious disease. Symptoms of the disease are non-specific (fever, cough, dyspnea and fatigue), common with many seasonal viruses, which complicates the diagnosis. For mild forms, which represent the vast majority of cases, hospitalization is not necessary and treatment is symptomatic. However in more severe cases, hospitalization is required and sometimes even admission to an intensive care unit. Several diagnostic tests are already available, but they require, in all cases, the intervention of qualified health personnel to carry out the sample, which includes a risk of contagion and an expensive and time-consuming laboratory analysis and reagents. These tests are therefore not very suitable for massive screenings. We want to evaluate the performance of a detection test performed on a salivary sample in the diagnosis of SARS-CoV-2. This test will be non-invasive, performed without any analytical device and will restore its qualitative result "infected versus non-infected" in less than 1 hour (30min objective).

The purpose of this study is to validate the use of a rapid, at home, point-of-care (POC) SARS-CoV-2 IgG antibody test in high risk healthcare workers. Additionally, we would like to evaluate the incidence of seroconversion in this high-risk population and to identify possible candidates for convalescent plasma donation for therapy/prophylaxis.

The investigators propose to select all COVID 19 patients attended in any health center (with in hospital beds), who have been discharged or have died at the time of the evaluation. The main objective of the present study is to carefully characterize the clinical profile of patients infected with COVID-19 in order to develop a simple prognostic clinical score allowing, in selected cases, rapid logistic decision making (discharge with follow-up, referral to provisional/field hospitals or admission to more complex hospital centers). As secondary objectives, the analysis of the risk-adjusted influence of treatments and previous comorbidities of patients infected with the disease will be performed.

On Dec 31, 2019, a number of viral pneumonia cases were reported in China. The virus causing pneumonia was then identified as a new coronavirus called SARS-CoV-2. Since this time, the infection called coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) has spread around the world, causing huge stress for health care systems. To diagnose this infection, throat and nose swabs are taken. Unfortunately, the results often take more than 24 hrs to return from a laboratory. Speeding diagnosis up would be of great help. This study aims to look at the breath to find signs that might allow clinicians to diagnose the coronavirus infection at the bedside, without needing to send samples to the laboratory. To do this, the team will be using a machine called a BreathSpec which has been adapted to fit in the hospital for this purpose.

This study aims to 1) observe the course of pain, 2) mental status, and 3) possible effect of a behavioral intervention delivered via an automated mobile phone messaging robot in patients were indicated and/or scheduled to undergo joint replacement but have been cancelled or delayed due to the COVID-19 crisis.

The Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infects host-cells via ACE2-receptors, which leads to pneumonia (COVID-19) but also can lead to myocarditis (acute myocardial injury) and chronic damage to the cardiovascular system. Therefore, cardiovascular protection may be necessary when treating patients with COVID-19 infection. This may especially be necessary in patients with cardiovascular diseases, risk factors, and co-medication.

It is aimed to measure the general health information of Turkish physicians about covid 19 pandemic, to evaluate anxiety levels and to evaluate future expectations in this period.

The COPE Trial is a randomized controlled trial that will provide currently isolated yet generally physically healthy 18-64 year old adults who are pre-retirement with the opportunity to receive a free 3-month subscription to either a yoga or moderate-to-high intensity aerobic exercise app or be randomized to a waitlist control group. Study outcomes include measures of psychological wellbeing and physical health.

Internet-based health promotion programs have the potential to reach more individuals than in person interventions, without overtaxing healthcare resources. Having a high quality, user-centered web-based program can help maximize user engagement and adherence. Thus, the primary objective of this pilot study is to examine the feasibility, time, cost, and acceptability of a web-based physical activity behavior change program with Canadian Adults who have had to start practising/following the social distancing guidelines due to the COVID-19 situation. We will also be examining changes other behavioral indicators related to PA as a secondary outcome measure.
Hong Kong Council on Smoking and Health
The present study will examine (1) the effectiveness of a combined brief advice and personalized chat-based support on COVID-19 related smoking messages and (2) explore the use of CBPR model to build capacity and to engage community partners in taking on this important public health issue for sustainability in the community. In addition, a process evaluation will be conducted to assess the effectiveness of the recruitment activity and how it is linked with the overall program outcomes.
