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.

During the last couple of years, a growing number of wearable devices evolved to provide accurate, cheap and non-invasive monitoring of vitals parameters.This connected care technology could be helpful for treatment and care during a pandemic such as COVID-19. The use of these non-invasive remote monitoring devices can help health care providers to assess patient's vital signs and symptom progression, reducing reducing patient and healthcare provider contact and exposure to COVID-19 during this pandemic.

This randomized clinical on-line study examines whether whether a daily practice of meditation or Kundalini Yoga with anxiety reduction training leads to a greater reduction in anxiety than anxiety reduction training alone.

The management of patients with SARS-CoV2 in respiratory distress can expose to corneal or retinal lesions induced by the stay in intensive care. Examination by ophthalmologists would make it possible to detect the most of the ophthalmologic problems known in intensive care and to provide an early, preventive or curative therapeutic response when possible, in order to avoid irreversible visual loss. The object of the research is to assess the presence and the importance of surface ophthalmologic lesions, the presence and the importance of retinal or optic nerve lesions, in order to improve the monitoring and primary prevention of this population
University of Milano Bicocca
Prospective, observational, multicenter study aiming to evaluate the number of COVID-19 pneumonia related patients treated with non-invasive ventilatory support outside the intensive care unit. In addition, the study aims to obtain information related to the clinical characteristics and hospital results of these patients.
Linkoeping University
The study seeks to investigate the effects of a guided internet-based cognitive behavioral therapy (ICBT) programme a on adult mental health problems related to the current coronavirus pandemic. ICBT will be compared to a wait-list control group. Participants will be recruited in Sweden with a nationwide recruitment.

SARS-CoV-2 is causing an unprecedented stress on healthcare systems around the world, due to its high rate of infection and the high morbidity and mortality. The COVID-19 infection triggers an inflammatory cascade with cytokine synthesis, prompting the immune response. Low dose radiotherapy (LD-RT) (≤ 100 cGy) induces an anti-inflammatory response, lowering levels of pro-inflammatory cytokines such as IL-1β or inhibit leukocyte recruitment. LD-RT has been used historically for the pneumonia treatment reporting a rapid clinical improvement (within the first week), as well as a reduced mortality (from around 30% to 10%). Considering these results, LD-RT can potentially afford a therapeutic benefit against SARS-CoV-2. The study purpose is to evaluate prospectively the safety and efficacy of LD-RT for SARS-CoV-2.

The purpose of this study is to reduce melanoma mortality by improving early detection of melanoma with skin self-examination (SSE) among people who self-identify as being at risk and seek care for a concerning mole. Because women are more likely than men to perform SSE, women who are engaged in health promotion by having a recent screening mammogram are the focus of this research. Self-management of melanoma detection with SSE depends on ready access to dermatologists when a concerning mole is detected. In March 2020, the Illinois stay at home order (COVID-19) prohibited non-essential health care, including screening mammography and dermatology office-based care, and both are expected to remain limited until fall 2020. This submission explores a) the effectiveness of targeted melanoma detection (TMD) among women, who identify their risk of having a melanoma, learn to perform SSE, and perform SSE, and b) the effectiveness of adhesive patch-based home sample collection for genomic analysis to rule out melanoma in moles identified by women (who received the intervention) as concerning will be explored.
Vielight Inc.
The objective of this study is to obtain data on the efficacy of the Vielight RX Plus in decreasing time to recovery of symptoms in subjects with COVID-19. The study will be conducted among COVID-19 positive subjects at home in self-isolation via electronic data collection (EDC). There will be no physical contact between the subjects and the Qualified Investigator (QI) or other study staff. This study aims to demonstrate that the Vielight RX Plus is a useful adjunct to standard of care (SOC). We hypothesize that the Vielight RX Plus will accelerate recovery and reduce viral infection severity.

NLR has previously been observed to correlate with complications in upper GI (1) and colorectal (2) surgery. The investigators sought to assess if a similar correlation can be identified in emergency general surgical patients and if the presence of suspected or confirmed COVID-19 may impact on this. Given the heterogeneity of emergency general surgery the investigators therefore plan to perform a retrospective review of patients having emergency laparotomies only at a single NHS site during COVID-19 pandemic. Assessment of outcomes and Neutrophil:lymphocyte ratio as a predictor of outcomes will be completed. Outcomes will be completed in line with the recent COVIDSurg study criteria (3). The primary outcome is 30-day mortality. Secondary outcomes are 7-day mortality, re-operation, length of stay, post-operative respiratory failure, post-operative ARDS (Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome), post-operative sepsis and ITU (Intensive Therapy Unit)/HDU (High Dependency Unit) admission.

This is an observational, prospective, non-randomized, non-significant risk study collecting voice recordings from subjects who are being tested for COVID-19 by laboratory analysis of specimens obtained by nasal or naso-pharyngeal (NP) swab. Patients record their voices through an app on their mobile phone. Patients and health care providers will be blinded to the swab test results during Phase 2 of the study.
