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 COVID-19 pandemic has triggered extremely high hospitalization rates where mitigation strategies are urgently necessary to aid vulnerable Hispanic and Latino populations who are experiencing health disparities as well as high type 2 diabetes (T2D) prevalence with poor clinical outcomes when compared to non-Hispanic populations. The supplemental Dulce Digital-COVID Aware (DD-CA) intervention addresses specific barriers in diverse underserved Hispanic and Latino communities to improve glucose control and lower transmission of COVID-19 during a highly vulnerable period post hospitalization discharge, to reduce hospital readmission rates. This supplement will integrate COVID educational messaging with glucose management messaging within a low-cost, easily adoptable digital texting platform and offer critical information in a culturally and linguistically relevant manner to address specific barriers in diverse underserved communities.

The biomarker soluble urokinase plasminogen activator receptor (suPAR) is the soluble form of the cell membrane-bound protein urokinase plasminogen activator receptor (uPAR), which is expressed mainly on immune cells, endothelial cells, and smooth muscle cells. SPARCOL is a multi-center prospective observational study aiming to investigate if suPAR measured at admission can predict the risk of future complications and mortality in adults patients with Covid-19. The study will include approximately 500 patients and will be one of the largest so far. The study has been registered at Clinical Trials.gov and has been approved by the Institutional Review Board of the University Hospital of Larisa. Consecutive adult patients (≥ 18 years ) who are admitted to the Hospital due to Covid-19 will be screened for inclusion. Participants will undergo sampling of peripheral venous blood, immediately after admission. Blood samples drawn from all patients and EDTA plasma will be stored at -80° C until later measurement. Plasma suPAR levels will be determined using the suPARnostic® ELISA assay (ViroGates, Denmark). The primary endpoint will be the presence of respiratory complications, admission to ICU, and survival at 30 days. Secondary endpoints are also included, such as organ injury, hospital length of stay, and survival. Data analysis will be based on predefined data points on a prospective data collection form.

Acute Respiratory Distress syndrome (ARDS) is a pulmonary systematic inflammatory response, leading to acute respiratory failure with hypoxia and/or hypercarbia. COVID-19 evokes a viral pneumonia, which may result in ARDS as well. It is not yet clear if COVID-19 disease behaves like the typical ARDS. Corona virus causes primarily deep hypoxia. Hypoxia, on its own, can lead to long term cognitive impairment. However, critical illness also affects long-term neurocognitive functioning. The investigators will be researching the possibility of long-term cognitive impairment in COVID-19 ICU patients, in comparison with reference values of a healthy population as well as the values measured in critically ill patients, admitted not only for respiratory reasons.

Little is known regarding the effect of antenatal COVID-19 on pregnancy outcomes. The purpose of this study is to determine of COVID-19 alters histopathology and gene expression of the placenta, as evidenced by analysis at time of delivery. The analysis will aim to identify whether resulting abnormal placental pathology or altered metabolism is associated with severity of symptoms (specifically pneumonia, or need for admission), gestational age at onset, and/or placenta efficiency. Histological and gene expression analysis of the placental post-delivery will determine if COVID-19 alters overall placental structure, vascularization, and/or the transcriptome.

The purpose of this case-control study is to assess the association of the current and former consumption of tobacco and nicotine in the risk of acquisition of severe acute respiratory syndrome 2 (SARS-CoV-2). the investigators will send a structured interview by mail regarding use of tobacco and nicotine to 2500 healthcare workers (1250 cases with a positive Real Time Polymorphism Chain Reaction (RT-PCR) and 1250 controls with a negative PCR) who were tested in Paris for in March and April, 2020. OR will be estimated by conditional logistic regression modelling with matching for sex and age.

This study compares the diagnostic performance of a nasopharyngeal swab antigenic test versus the RT-PCR Covid-19 reference test performed with the AllplexTM 2019-nCoV kit (Seegene, South Korea) in symptomatic children presenting at the hospital.

COVID-19 is an emergency situation which broke out from China in 2020. Health commitees and goverment set some rules and limit people's freedom to leave from their houses and it is called as 'social isolation'.Staying at home and disease bring about sedentary lifestyle, anxiety and depression and changed eating habits of all person. Hypertension is an important cardiovasculary risk factor and physical activity, stress managament are very important for disease control. In that study we aimed to assess hypertensive and healthy person's anxiety level, physical activity and qualit of life level during COVID-19 social isolation.

This is a study of validation for diagnostic techniques used on epidemiological control in the COVID-19 pandemic. It will be carried out in accredited public, private and university clinical laboratories of the collaborator institutions of the project based in Tarija, Bolivia. It is designed as a sectional validation study, using samples from specific groups of participants from the municipality of Tarija grouped according to their category with respect to symptoms and viral load of COVID-19. The sample is selected for convenience.
National Center for Complementary and Integrative Health (NCCIH)
This is a randomized clinical trial (RCT) nested within the NIH PETAL Network's COVID cohort study (BLUE CORAL [Biology and Longitudinal Epidemiology: COVID Observational Study]) of patients hospitalized for COVID-19-related illness. COVID-19 patients enrolled in BLUE CORAL with elevated distress symptoms 1 month post-discharge will be randomized to either the Lift mobile app intervention or a usual care control.

The investigators hypothesize that detection of SARS-CoV2 on saliva samples will increase the performance of the screening program compared to the reference strategy (RT-PCR on a nasopharyngeal swab).
