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.

With the rapid spread of COVID-19 (SARS-CoV-2) disease all over the world and the announcement of a pandemic, researches on many different drug approaches have begun and these researches continue today. Considering the absence of a specific treatment for the disease yet and the urgency of the situation, drugs previously licensed for the treatment of other diseases and thought to be effective in COVID-19 have started to be used. Ongoing studies are conducted on the effectiveness, possible side effects and safety of these drugs in COVID-19, but there is no clear information yet. It is thought that the anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties of some vitamins and trace elements may be associated with positive results in COVID-19 patients, and the physiological roles of these vitamins and trace elements in COVID 19 have been demonstrated by studies. It is important to investigate the levels of free radicals known to be effective in the development of cardiovascular disease due to homocysteine and oxidative stress, which can provide information on determining the risk of cardiovascular complications in the COVID-19 pandemic. In addition, as the decrease in physical activity levels of individuals in the COVID-19 pandemic may cause possible secondary complications such as an increase in the risk of cardiovascular disease, determining the physical activity levels of individuals and encouraging them to physical activity is another important parameter to minimize the negative effects of the process. It is thought that investigating the effects of the treatment approaches used in COVID-19 on trace element, homocysteine, oxidative stress parameters and physical activity levels will provide useful information in determining the factors underlying better clinical results. This study was planned to be carried out between 6-31 January 2021 in order to compare the trace element, homocysteine, oxidative stress parameters and physical activity levels before and after treatment for COVID-19 disease in COVID-19 patients who applied to Izmir Bakircay University Cigli Training and Research Hospital (Cigli Regional Training Hospital) and hospitalized in the COVID-19 service. Research data will be obtained from blood samples taken from participants. In addition, data on physical activity levels will be collected through a questionnaire. After analyzing the data obtained from the research with appropriate statistical methods, the data will be evaluated.

COVID-19, an acute respiratory disease caused by coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2), and in most cases, causes mild to moderate symptoms of fever, cough and dyspnea. However, a not insignificant portion, given the total number of people affected, will present symptoms of severe acute respiratory failure and multiple organ failure, requiring hospitalization under intensive care, use of mechanical ventilation, prolonged period of immobilization and, consequently, physical, cognitive and psychological damage, which may affect survivors for a long period after hospitalization. All of these factors are known to have an impact on various areas of life: personal, social and economic, which makes the need for continued specific care after hospital discharge relevant. In this context, the role of rehabilitation programs is fundamental, aiming not only at a safer dehospitalization, but also at the continuity of care with the objective of restoring the biopsychosocial skills of these individuals, allowing functional independence for activities of daily life and a shorter return physical and social activities performed before the disease. However, the big challenge for the health system is how to offer this on a large scale. Therefore, knowing the clinical and functional profile of these patients at discharge and verifying the viability of a digital platform for rehabilitation and monitoring of these patients is the first step to allow the creation of a new form of continuity of care and access to affected patients with serious diseases such as COVID-19 and other syndromes capable of generate functional impairment. Therefore,the investigators objective is to characterize and monitor the functional profile and exercise capacity of patients affected by COVID-19 at the hospital discharge, as well as to verify the viability and compliance of patients to the use of a digital platform for the application of a distance rehabilitation program.

It is unknown whether malaria or malaria treatment affects COVID-19 severity, immune responses to SARS-CoV-2 virus, or viral loads and/or duration of shedding and therewith the onwards spread of SARS-COV-2. An observational cohort study will be conducted in 708 newly diagnosed COVID-19 patient of all ages in western Kenya and Burkina-Faso. They will be enrolled in hospitals with COVID-19 testing facilities from a source population screened for SARS-CoV-2 (N~4,720). Approximately 142 of the 708 COVID-19 patients are expected to be co-infected with malaria. They will be enrolled in the nested malaria treatment trial and randomized to receive 3-days of artemether-lumefantrine (the current standard of care) or pyronaridine-artesunate, a highly effective antimalarial with known antiviral properties against SARS-CoV-2 in-vitro, that is newly registered and being rolled out in Africa. Disease progression will be assessed and nasal swabs and blood samples will be taken during home/clinic visits on days 1, 3, 7, 14, 21, 28, and 42. Patients self-isolating will be phoned daily in between scheduled visits for the first 14 days to assess signs and symptoms. Hospitalisation, self-isolation and home-based care will follow national guidelines. The WHO clinical progression scale and FLU-PRO plus scales will be used to compare disease progression between COVID-19 patients with and without malaria, and by malaria. Other endpoints include seroconversion/reversion rates, chemokine/cytokine responses, T and B cell responses, viral load and duration of viral carriage. Infection prevention and control (IPC), including the use of personal protection equipment (PPE), and measures for patient transport will follow national guidelines in each country. Written informed consent/assent will be sought. The study is anticipated to start in January 2021 and last for approximately 18 months.
