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.

The Covid-19 pandemic requires a reliable diagnosis of patients in order to take care of them in the best conditions and in the appropriate services. Moreover, the current diagnostic reference is reverse transcription by polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) on a nasopharyngeal sample taken by swab. This technique is expensive (54€) and its production time is several hours. Alternative methods are in progress, including, rapid diagnostic tests. The MEMS microfluids and nanostructures (MMN) laboratory, in partnership with the Institut Chimie Biologie Innovation (CBI) (Paris, 75005), have developed a portable test "COVIDISC", low-cost (10 €), fast (1 hour), including extraction, elution and amplification in solid medium isothermal, reverse amplification loop mediated transcription (RT-LAMP). The "lab" version has received an analytical validation on human nasopharyngeal samples with performance comparable to classic RT-PCR (sensitivity of 7 copies per μl, specificity 100%). The objective of this study is to validate the in vitro diagnostic medical device, COVIDISC, with the standard nasopharyngeal RT-PCR test.

The objective of this study is to better understand public attitudes towards coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) vaccination. This understanding will inform the development of community engagement strategies to be used in future interventions and studies aimed at addressing factors that impact the disproportionate burden of COVID-19 in under-served and vulnerable communities.

African Americans (AA)/People of Color (POC) are disproportionately impacted by COVID-19 to an extent not observed in other racial/ethnic subgroups. People of color are uniquely affected because keeping diabetes under control - the best defense against COVID-19 - has become more difficult as the pandemic has disrupted medical care, exercise and healthy eating routines which are already well-known challenges for the African American community. Diabetes Self-Management Education and Support (DSMS/S) facilitates the knowledge, skills, and ability necessary for diabetes self-care as well as activities that assist a person in implementing and sustaining the behaviors needed to manage their condition on an ongoing basis. Now, given the implications of COVID-19 on the AA/POC diabetes community, it is imperative to enhance DSME/S with education about protection and prevention of COVID-19. To begin to solve this problem we will adapt and implement the "emPOWERed to Change" DSME/S program to provide enhanced type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) education with an additional emphasis on COVID-19 protection and prevention. This study will employ Community Based Participatory Research methods and will be conducted virtually in the community setting. The proposed hypothesis, based on the Health Belief Model (HBM) and the Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB), is: African Americans (AA)/People of Color (POC) in Los Angeles County with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) randomized to participate in the "emPOWERed to Change" program (N=48) are more likely to demonstrate sustained glycemic control, increase in knowledge and skills related behaviors, and risk factors associated with T2DM and SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19) and increased compliance with prevention, and vaccination as compared to those who are randomized to usual care (N=48) in this 12 week program. We propose a randomized control study design among 96 participants with 48 assigned to an intervention group and 48 assigned to a control group. This study will also explore the experience of the participants' appraisal of knowledge and skills acquisition for DSME/S to maintain T2DM control, reduce complications, and SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19) prevention and protection. The ultimate goal is to design prospective larger behavioral studies (SuRe first or R21) with a multi-centered intervention with other RTRN institutions to demonstrate the applicability of this approach specifically focusing on the AA/POC community.

Nursing homes have long faced special challenges in implementing effective infection prevention programs, including limited resources and diagnostic challenges in a frail functionally disabled long-stay population. Advancing our understanding of the transmission of SARS-CoV-2 within these facilities for vulnerable populations deserves urgent and further investigation. Environmental contamination with SARS-CoV-2 that is reported in limited studies highlights the potential importance of transmission between patients, their environment, and healthcare providers via direct and indirect contact. This study seeks to characterize the epidemiology of SARS-CoV- 2 in the NH patient room environment over time and the risk of transmission to near and far environments, with the explicit intent of developing integrated, simple COVID-19 infection prevention strategies that can be reported to and implemented throughout other nursing homes and long-term care facilities.
Lawson Health Research Institute
The primary objectives of this pilot study protocol are to assess safety and feasibility of using the geko™ device in COVID-19. Regarding safety to patients, we will measure the rate of adverse events, primarily local site irritation or discomfort. Feasibility will be measured on the basis of recruitment; ability to enroll sufficient number of patients meeting criteria. Protocol adherence will be observed as the ability to deliver the study intervention to the patients randomized to the treatment arm within the prescribed timeline and ability to complete the course of treatment. Additionally, we plan to measure patient outcomes such as ICU admission and death. The findings of this study have the potential to decrease the complications seen in COVID-19 infections.

The need for large-scale testing for COVID-19 has been highlighted by both the World Health Organization (WHO) and the UK government. Immunity to coronavirus 2019 (COVID-19) infection can be determined by detecting the presence of antibodies to the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). Immunoglobulins (Ig) to the SARS-CoV-2 develop during the second and third week of COVID-19 disease and can be detected by analyses conducted using laboratory tests. Accurate and scalable point-of-care testing (POCT) for the diagnosis of COVID-19 immunity would allow community diagnostic to be upscaled enormously. POCT for COVID-19 antibodies is possible using small disposable kits. POCT immunity testing using disposable kits will be imperative for effective surveillance and vaccinations programmes. The study aims to test a novel, rapid antibody testing kit (IgG and IgM) in order to confirm its accuracy in a healthy volunteer population. The antibody testing kit intended for use in the study has already been CE marked for this purpose.
