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 world is facing an extremely important global epidemic. Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) epidemic, which first appeared in Wuhan, China in late 2019 and rapidly affected all countries of the world, was declared as a pandemic by the World Health Organization (WHO) on March 11, 2020. Coronavirus disease 2019 affects both the upper (i.e. sinuses, nose and throat) and lower (i.e. trachea and lungs) airways, causes respiratory tract diseases ranging from asymptomatic or cold to more severe lung diseases (Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome-ARDS). COVID-19 has many symptoms (i.e. fever, loss of appetite). In cases where the disease has a more severe course, in addition to the symptoms mentioned above, complications such as a severe pneumonia, acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) kidney failure and fatal heart damage may develop. Dyspnea is one of the most prominent symptoms for COVID-19. Since COVID-19 affects the respiratory system, pulmonary rehabilitation has an important place in the treatment of patients. Dyspnea is one of the most prominent symptoms for COVID-19. Our clinical observations are of the opinion that dyspnea is observed even in patients with mild COVID-19 pneumonia. Applying deep breathing exercise with triflo in COVID-19 patients, can contribute to relieving dyspnea, reducing / eliminating anxiety, and increasing quality of life. In the light of this information, the aim of this study is to determine the effect of deep breathing exercise with triflo on dyspnea, anxiety and quality of life in patients with dyspnea who are hospitalized for COVID-19. Research Hypotheses H1: Patients with COVID-19 pneumonia who undergo deep breathing exercise with triflo will have a lower dyspnea level than the patient group in which this exercise is not applied. H2: Patients with COVID-19 pneumonia who underwent deep breathing exercise with triflo will have a lower anxiety level than the patient group in whom this exercise was not applied. H3: Patients with COVID-19 pneumonia who underwent deep breathing exercise with triflo will have a higher quality of life than the patient group in whom this exercise was not applied.
Wissenschaftliches Institut Bethanien e.V
Cross-sectional study to detect latent COVID-19 infections in residents and staff of old people's and nursing homes in the city of Solingen with a prospective follow-up of 6 months in a subgroup.
NOWDiagnostics, Inc.
This study is designed to compare the performance of the NOWDx COVID-19 Test to an emergency use authorized PCR test result. The intent is to show the rapid test device is comparable to a currently marketed device. The NOWDx COVID-19 Test is an in vitro lateral flow immunoassay intended for qualitative detection of total antibodies to SARS-CoV-2 in human whole blood (venous and fingerstick).
Rigshospitalet, Denmark
This project aims to investigate the sensitivity and specificity of the rapid antigen test compared to RT-PCR test performed on samples from the nasopharynx and the anterior nasal cavity and the oropharynx, respectively.
Hospital Clínico Universitario de Valladolid
We conducted a national, single center (Hospital Clínico Universitario de Valladolid, Spain, Valladolid), prospective study of patients with prior hospitalization because of COVID-19 who were admitted between March 1st, 2020, and May 15th, 2020. All eligible patients underwent at least at first-time follow-up from the index event. Exclusion criteria were age < 18 years old, pregnant women, terminally ill patients, active SARS-CoV-2 infections, inability to exercise and previous known severe pulmonary or heart disease. Patients underwent a clinical assessment for symptom burden, questionnaire for quality of life (Kansas City Cardiomyopathy Questionnaire and SF-36), venous blood sampling, 6-minute walking test (6-MWT), tests of lung function (spirometry and diffusing capacity of the lungs for carbon monoxide) and treadmill cardio-pulmonary exercise testing (CPET). 48-hours before the test of lung function and the CPET, all patients yielded a negative result in the reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) for SARS-CoV-2. For definitive analysis patients were assigned to the control group if they did not refer dyspnea at the time of the follow-up, a small asymptomatic out-patient control group without prior hospitalization was also included.

Intensive care unit (ICU) staff are frequently exposed to traumatic events at work (e.g., witnessing patients die), amplified by the COVID-19 pandemic. A significant proportion experience intrusive memories of these events that pop suddenly into mind: these imagery-based memories can disrupt functioning and contribute to posttraumatic stress disorder. Previous research has shown that a brief behavioural intervention can reduce the number of intrusive memories after a traumatic event. In this study we aim to optimise a brief digital intervention to help reduce the number of intrusive memories experienced by ICU staff (primary outcome). We will explore if it can improve work functioning and wellbeing (secondary outcomes). We will recruit approximately 150 ICU staff with intrusive memories of events experienced during the COVID-19 pandemic. The study is funded by the Wellcome Trust (223016/Z/21/Z).

According to preexisting data, it has revealed the fundamental role that aerosols play in the transmission of the COVID-19 virus. Esophagogastroduodenoscopy (EGD), producing particle smaller than 5 microns, was regarded as 'aerosol-generating procedures' (AGPs) associated with an increased risk of transmission of respiratory pathogens to healthcare workers. The strategies aim to reduce spreading of aerosol during the procedure should be beneficial. Using an acrylic box to cover the head of a patient undergoing an endoscopy seems to reduce aerosol scatter and reduce the spread of respiratory pathogens. At present, there are no high-quality studies that provide quantitative data on the use of head box to reduce aerosol generation.

The primary aim of the proposed research is to test the role of a newly developed reusable form-fitting fabric mask in reducing the spread of COVID-19 in a community setting comprising undergraduate students living in dormitories at the Georgia Institute of Technology (Georgia Tech). A corollary aim is to assess the role of wearing any type of face covering in reducing spread in the same community setting. A final aim is to assess the social, behavioral, aesthetic, and usability aspects of wearing face coverings in public settings.
