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.

European countries faced another wave of the SARS-CoV2 pandemic, which has led to a second lockdown in France in November 2020 in order to avoid overwhelming health services. To prevent or reduce another wave, the strategy calls for vaccination, maintaining barrier measures and testing and isolating infected persons in order to break the cycles of infection. The latter objective is made difficult by the existence of asymptomatic carriers or symptomatic carriers that have very few symptoms and that aren't tested. Identification of these carriers in the general population is usually based on a search for close contact persons from those who were tested positive or from identified clusters. Experiments of mass testing are being carried out or were carried out, for example in Liverpool or Slovakia but, in order for them to be effective, they must be repeated, which limits feasibility. Another strategy of wide screening in the general population to identify asymptomatic persons is to offer a systematic screening during medical consultations and particularly in the emergency departments (ED). This strategy grants access to the entire population attending health facilities, including persons with lower income. This strategy can be conducted continuously in order to: 1) contribute to controlling the epidemic by identifying and isolating asymptomatic persons and their close contacts; 2) provide an observatory on the evolution of viral circulation in the general population. To the best the knowledge, this strategy has not been evaluated and will be tested it in 18 emergency departments in the Paris Metropolitan area, one of the most SARS-CoV2 affected regions. The aim is to evaluate the benefit of a systematic offer of SARS-Cov2 screening by rapid testing (molecular multiplex PCR/ RT-LAMP) to identify infected persons, associated with the usual practice of the EDs (intervention strategy) compared to a period based on usual practice of the EDs (control strategy) The strategies will be compared during two periods following a cluster-randomized two-period crossover design. During intervention periods, nurses will suggest performing a SARS-CoV2 test to patients using a PCR multiplex for symptomatic patients and a RT-LAMP for asymptomatic patients.

The aim of the cohort prospective observational study is to define the major factors influencing the course of COVID-19 infections and its prognosis in hospitalised patients. The investigators plan to include 300 patients hospitalised with COVID-19 infection. The phone contacts with patients are due after 90 and 180 days after discharge.

COVID-19 is known to affect the respiratory system but may also have an impact on other organ systems, including the brain. A number of severely ill patients also presents neurological symptoms that may be the result of COVID-19 associated brain damage. The aim of this study is to investigate the presence, type, and severity of brain damage as well as the neurological and neuropsychological sequelae of COVID-19 infection. Further, the impact of this infection on daily life functioning, quality of life, and the emotional well-being of family members will be assessed. In this multicenter study, 6-9 months after hospital discharge patients will undergo a 3-T MRI scan and a neuropsychological examination. Additionally, both patients and their family members will answer several questionnaires at 6- 9 and 12-15 months after hospital discharge. COVID-19 patients previously admitted to a general hospital ward will be compared with patients previously admitted to the intensive-care unit. The proposed study will create a more comprehensive picture of the prolonged COVID-19 effects on the brain, mental, and cognitive well-being. The findings will aid patient care and rehabilitation.
Hellenic Cooperative Oncology Group
This is an observational study that will prospectively record and monitor responses and clinical outcomes of patients with cancer after covid-19 vaccination, including measurements of antibody titers in serum and also record potential factors that affect immunity, such as type and stage of cancer, type and time of systemic therapy in relation to covid-19 vaccination.

In this study; it was aimed to compare the physical activity levels of students who continued their university education face-to-face before the COVID-19 lockdown, and the values of physical activity levels related to health, physical activity levels and health-related physical fitness parameters in the post-lockdown period.

Aim: We aim to evaluate αvβ3 integrin expression in proven COVID-19 infected patients with indicative findings on routine contrast-enhanced CT using [68Ga]Ga-DOTA-(RGD)2. If activated vascular endothelium in the lung parenchyma proceeds ARDS, as frequently observed during COVID-19 infection, imaging αvβ3 integrin expression using PET/CT could have potential as a clinical tool to characterize patients at early stages during disease and guide development of novel treatments targeting the vascular endothelium. Study design: This is a prospective, observational non-randomized pilot study. Maximum 10 patients will undergo a [68Ga]Ga-DOTA-(RGD)2 PET/CT scan and CT-subtraction scan in the same procedure. 10-minutes/bed position static [68Ga]Ga-DOTA-(RGD)2 PET/CT scans of the thorax will be acquired starting at 60 minutes post injection. Study population: Maximum 10 patients from the Infectious Diseases ward with proven COVID-19 infection and indicative pulmonary abnormalities on contrast-enhanced CT (CORADS 4-5) undergo PET/CT scans after injection of 70 μg (200 MBq) [68Ga]Ga-DOTA-(RGD)2 and CT-subtraction. Intervention: All patients will undergo a [68Ga]Ga-DOTA-(RGD)2 PET/CT scan, and in the same procedure, a CT-subtraction scan. Primary study objective: The primary objective of this study is to demonstrate and quantitate activation of the endothelium in the lung vasculature using [68Ga]Ga-DOTA-(RGD)2 PET/CT. Secondary study objectives: 1. To assess the spatial correlation between [68Ga]Ga-DOTA-(RGD)2 uptake and abnormal findings on routine contrast-enhanced CT scan of the chest 2. To assess the spatial correlation between [68Ga]Ga-DOTA-(RGD)2 and CTS of the lung parenchyma 3. To assess the correlation between [68Ga]Ga-DOTA-(RGD)2 and laboratory results 4. To explore the correlation between [68Ga]Ga-DOTA-(RGD)2 uptake and clinical course of disease

This is a prospective observational cohort study that will aim to recruit 60 participants who have had COVID-19, were admitted to hospital, required intensive care, and/or developed AKI during their hospital stay. Potential participants will be approached either by telephone by a member of the research team or via clinics (nephrology, post-ICU follow up clinics).
