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 new coronavirus 2019 (COVID-19) was declared a pandemic by the World Health Organization (WHO), due to the alarming levels of spread, severity and inaction. Dealing with COVID-19 must be done on different fronts, such as mitigation, treatment and prevention. Therefore, strategies and therapies that can help reduce the COVID-19 rate of contamination are still important alternatives at this time of the pandemic. The Advanced Penetration Technology™ (APT™) is intellectual property owned by Patient Focused Tele-Health, LLC, a Rockwall, Texas based company. The company's focus is improving over-the-counter (OTC) topical formulations, allowing consumers better therapeutic outcomes with non-prescription medications. The Advanced Penetration Technology™ (APT™) is a patent-pending, proprietary transdermal dual carrier formulation. This formulation provides improved dermal penetration and efficacy of topical API's. Additionally, the APT™ imparts both a mechanical and biochemical effect on the microbe/fungal cell walls providing a highly effective method of destruction of microbes. These unique properties impart the broad spectrum anti-viral capability to the APT™ Tetracycline 3% formulation, breaking barriers in pharmacology and virology. The topical formulation APT™ Tetracycline 3% formulation (APT ™ T3X), is a FDA registered, Non-Prescription product. This formulation is used in an off label manner as an intranasal application for prevention of COVID-19 and other viruses. The APT™ T3X as a topical application will penetrate through and into the mucus layer and deeper. This barrier of coverage will provide a mitigation effect to decrease the viral load of exposure and infection. The efficacy of APT™ T3X is due to disrupting the lipid envelope in seconds, hence neutralizing the virus. Previous tests were performed with APT™ T3X and the results found were promising. However, these tests were performed only in vitro and clinical studies demonstrating the ability of the APT™ T3X to decrease viral exposure and contamination by COVID-19 are necessary to confirm the possible prophylactic effect, allowing the formulation to be widely distributed to the general population. Therefore, the aim of this project is to evaluate the efficacy of the APT™ T3X compared to placebo to decrease COVID-19 contamination rate in humans.

The aim of this study is to compare the SARS-CoV-2 detection rate using either a Saliva, oropharyngeal swabs or nasopharyngeal swab method for specimen collection.
Turkish Respiratory Society
The investigators hypothese that lung involvement due to COVID-19 may cause structural changes in the lung in the long term. In this study the effects of structural changes in the lung on pulmonary function tests, exercise capacity and quality of life will be examined.
Genexine, Inc.
The objective of our study is to evaluate safety, tolerability, and immunogenicity of COVID-19 preventive DNA vaccine in healthy volunteers.

The main clinical manifestation associated with SARS-CoV-2 infection is an influenza-like illness that follows the infection of the respiratory tract. In a few percent of infected people, inflammation of the lungs leads to severe pneumonia that requires hospitalization, in intensive care units for the more severe cases. Despite intensive care, a fatal outcome occurs in 6% and 12% of women and men over 80 years of age hospitalized for severe COVID, respectively. Factors associated with a higher risk of death in patients with SARS-CoV-2 include age and low circulating lymphocyte counts. Significant lymphopenia is indeed frequently observed in patients with severe COVID-19 and both phenotypic and functional changes in antiviral T cells have been correlated with the severity of COVID-19. The thymus, the organ that produces T lymphocytes, undergoes progressive physiological involution with age. However, in the elderly, rare cases of thymic hyperplasia are reported in autoimmune diseases or cancers, or are observed in response to deep lymphopenia, whether or not associated with sepsis. This cohort of patients treated for a SARS-CoV-2 infection could allow to better understand the role of the thymus in this pathology.
Ingenew Pharmaceuticals Inc.
The main aim of this study is to determine the effects of short-term treatment with hesperidin on COVID-19 symptoms in comparison with a placebo. Treatment effects will be observed through a symptoms diary that will be completed by participants throughout the study and by taking the oral temperature daily.
Technological Innovations for Detection and Diagnosis Laboratory
In order to control the COVID-19 pandemic, a policy for the diagnosis and screening of people likely to be infected with SARS-CoV-2 has been established The reference diagnostic test is RT-PCR on nasopharyngeal swab. Nasopharyngeal swabbing requires training, generates a risk of aerosolization and therefore viral transmission to the operator, and is unpleasant or even painful for the patient. RT-PCR is efficient, but time-consuming. It is therefore necessary to consider techniques that are less subject to difficulties of production and sampling, and less time-consuming. Tandem mass spectrometry on saliva samples is a promising option. A combined "mass spectrometry/saliva test" should provide faster results.

Maraviroc (MVC) is a drug, very well tolerated, it has been seen that MVC has properties of modulating the immune system, exerting an anti-inflammatory effect in different diseases. In COVID-19, very high levels of inflammation occur that cause organs and systems to be damaged. MVC could reduce this inflammation achieving a better prognosis of COVID-19.

Covid-19 Vaccine Effectiveness in Healthcare Personnel in Clalit Health Services in Israel (CoVEHPI)
Although clinical trials for approved COVID-19 vaccines demonstrated efficacy of the vaccine in preventing symptomatic infection, many questions about vaccine effectiveness, such as the effectiveness of COVID-19 vaccine in preventing asymptomatic infection, a surrogate for transmission, and duration of protection, can only be evaluated in real-world trials. The objective of the study is to evaluate COVID-19 vaccine effectiveness (Pfizer vaccine, and, if available, Moderna vaccine) in preventing infection in healthcare personnel in Israel. HCP who are Clalit members and working in Soroka, Beilinson, Meir, Haemek, Kaplan and Schneider hospitals, 18 years or older, and eligible to get COVID-19 vaccine according to Ministry of Health guidelines, will be recruited, regardless of their intention to get the COVID-19 vaccine. A baseline serology sample and respiratory sample will be collected. Participants will be asked to provide a respiratory sample weekly for 3 months, and then monthly for the remainder of the study. Participants will also have blood drawn at 1 month, 3 months, 6 months, 9 months and 12 months. Respiratory samples will be tested for SARS-CoV-2 by RT-PCR; serology will be tested for SARS-CoV-2 antibodies. The study will last for 12 months. For each participant, data will be extracted from the Electronic Medical Record for the period of the study and retrospectively from 2010.
