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 main objective of this multicenter cohort study is to determine the degree of COVID19 infection immunization of a population of psychiatric patients. The secondary objective of this cohort follow-up is to: 1. Clinically characterize COVID patients who are positive for serological testing 2. Assess the socio-demographic, clinical and psychotropic determinants of a COVID diagnosis 3. Immunologically characterize COVID patients who are positive for serological testing 4. Exploring the links between susceptibility to COVID19 and erythrocytic blood groups

The purpose of this study is to develop a safe, easily scalable, and simple method to split a single ventilator for use amongst two or more patients, thus serving as a capacity bridge to save patient lives until manufacturers can produce enough ventilators.
Oslo University Hospital
Oslo University Hospital has initiated an observational study on hospitalised patients with confirmed COVID-19, the infection caused by Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus type 2 (SARS-CoV-2).
University of Pennsylvania
The purpose of the COVIDNOCHE trial (HFNO versus CPAP Helmet Evaluation in COVID-19 Pneumonia) is to evaluate the comparative effectiveness of standard care non-invasive respiratory support (helmet CPAP versus HFNO) for acute hypoxemic respiratory failure from COVID-19 pneumonia on ventilator-free days (primary outcome) and other clinical outcomes measured up to 90 days.

As the COVID-19 pandemic spread around the world, anosmia and dysgeusia were quickly recognized as two of the key presenting symptoms. The probability of return of smell is related to severity of smell loss at presentation, but it appears that the loss of sense of smell and taste seems to persist in approximately 10% of the affected patients after 6 months. As a result of COVID-19, it is estimated that within the next 12 months > 150,000 Americans will suffer permanent loss of smell. The magnitude of this impairment on the health, safety, and quality of life is truly unprecedented and makes post-COVID olfactory disorder a major public health problem. Thus, there is a pressing need to identify effective treatments. The research questions are to determine the effects of steroid nasal saline lavage and olfactory training among adults with post-COVID olfactory dysfunction and identify confounders and modifiers of any observed effects. To answer the research question, the investigators propose a 2 x 2 factorial design blinded randomized clinical trial whereby 220 subjects with documented COVID-19 with anosmia/hyposmia of 12 weeks duration or longer from Missouri, Illinois, and Indiana will be recruited electronically from COVID patient advocacy sites, social media sites, and other internet sources. Enrolled subjects will be randomized to nasal saline lavage with topical budesonide or placebo to address the presumed role of inflammation in the olfactory cleft and each subject will also be randomized to olfactory training with patient-specific, high- or low-concentration essential oil scent to assess the role of olfactory training. Data will be analyzed in a blinded fashion to allow estimation of observed effect size for both anti-inflammatory and olfactory training. This innovative study will exploit the unique opportunities presented by COVID-19. The study will use a high-tech virtual "contactless" research strategy, including eConsent and digital mHealth techniques to obtain rapid answers to the research questions. The interventions are low-cost, readily available, and results of this study can be directly disseminated to the care of COVID-19 patients with anosmia.

France and in particular the paris area was one of the countries most affected by the pandemic Covid19. School closures and a generalized lockdown of the population were instituted in France from 17 March 2020 to 10 May 2020. Schools and nurseries have reopened partially since 11 May 2020. From 2 June, this reopening is more widespread. By combining the search for SARS-Cov2 viruses by PCR and micro-method serology we will be able to evaluate both the infection at a given time and also older contact with SARS-CoV2. The temporal knowledge of the prevalence of SARS-Cov2 carriage and the serological status (IgM and IgG) after return to the community are crucial information to evaluate the speed of spread of the virus in children. This is the objective of COVILLE2, phase 2 of the COVILLE study.

This is a multicenter prospective study that aims to investigate the clinical impact of SARS-CoV-2 infection in pregnant women, pregnancy outcomes and perinatal transmission.

Lower Respiratory Tract infections are a common cause of admission to the intensive care unit. Children routinely receive antibiotics until the tests confirm whether the infection is bacterial or viral. The exclusion of bacterial infection may take 48 hours or longer for culture tests on biological samples to be completed. In many cases, the results may be inconclusive or negative if the patient has already received antibiotics prior to the sample being taken. A rapid assay to detect the most likely cause of infection could improve the speed with which antibiotic therapy is rationalised or curtailed. This study aims to assess whether a new genetic testing kit which can identify the presence of bacteria and viruses within hours rather than days is a feasible tool in improving antibiotic prescribing and rationalisation of therapy in critically ill children with suspected lower respiratory tract infection.

The aim of this preliminary study is to describe the potential decline in forced expiratory volume in 1 second (FEV1) or forced vital capacity (FVC) as measured by home spirometry in high-risk subjects infected with COVID-19. We hypothesize that the magnitude of such a decline in FEV1 and/or FVC may be associated with clinical deterioration and hospitalization. The study will ultimately inform a larger subsequent RCT that will evaluate the efficacy of home spirometry in the early detection (pre respiratory symptoms) of respiratory complications and therefore prompt early medical attention which is a key for improving outcome.
