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.

It is an established fact that, corona virus spread through the respiratory droplets. Colonization of the virus in oropharynx and/or nasopharynx is considered to be major factor for transmissibility of the virus through respiratory secretions. Preventing colonization of the virus by administrating povidone iodine in the nasal passage therefore, a rational thought which is supported by recent evidence of in-vitro virucidal action of povidone iodine in Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome-Coronavirus 2 (SARS CoV-2). Therefore, the study is designed to assess the virucidal effect of povidone iodine on COVID-19 virus in-vivo.This open label randomized clinical trial will be conducted at Department of Otorhinolaryngology and Head Neck Surgery, in collaboration with Department of Virology and Department of Medicine in Dhaka Medical College (DMC) Hospital. The study will be conducted from September 2020 to October 2020. Total 175 confirmed cases of COVID-19 disease, proven by Reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) testing will be enrolled in this study. Written informed consent will be ensured before participation. In case of no literacy, finger print will be considered for written permission.Consent will be sought from the legal guardian in case of minor or underaged.Formal ethical clearance will be taken from Ethical Review Committee (ERC) of Dhaka Medical College. All of the Participants will be divided into seven groups: Group A will receive Povidone iodine (PVP-I) nasal irrigation at concentration of 0.4%, Group B and Group C will received 0.5% and 0.6%; Group D will receive PVP-I nasal spray at concentration of 0.5% and Group E will received at 0.6% concentration. Group F (Placebo comparator group) will receive nasal irrigation by distilled water (DW) and Group G (Placebo comparator group) will received nasal spray by distilled water. The contact time will be minimum 30 seconds. After the individual application of PVP-I and distilled water in respective participant, they will be tested again for RT-PCR for COVID-19 from nasopharyngeal and oropharyngeal sample. All patients will be subjected to detail history, physical examination and adverse events. Block Randomization will be followed for randomization. Data will be recorded in a semi-structured questionnaire and will be analyzed by 'R-4.0.2' data analysis software

Up to 1/3 of all patients infected with COVID-19 can develop complications that require hospitalization. Severe pneumonia associated with acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) is the most threatening and feared complication of COVID-19 infection, with mortality rates close to 50% in some groups. Autopsies between these severe cases reveal severe capillary involvement, with signs of intense inflammatory changes, microvascular thrombosis, endothelial injury and abnormal tissue repair. The available evidence suggests that abnormal activation or imbalance in the counter-regulation of the kallikrein-kinin system may play a central role in a positive feedback cycle, leading to consequent diffuse microangiopathy. Blockade of the kallikrein-kinin system can therefore prevent deterioration of lung function by reducing inflammation, edema and microthrombosis. The objective of this phase IIb study is to assess the preliminary effects on the oxygenation parameters of an antisense oligonucleotide that inhibits pre-kallikrein synthesis in patients with moderate to severe COVID-19.

This current protocol encompasses an investigator-blinded randomized exercise intervention in 10 COVID-19 survivors that have been discharged from hospital. The subjects will be randomized to perform three different exercise training protocols in a random order. The aim is to clarify the feasibility and safety of three training protocols in COVID-19 survivors. The hypothesis is that patients surviving COVID-19 will be able to comply to all training protocols.

The purpose of the study is to determine if Convalescent anti-severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) Methylene Blue Treated (MBT) plasma plus Standard Medical Treatment (SMT) can reduce all-cause mortality versus SMT alone in hospitalized participants with COVID-19 requiring admission to the intensive care unit (ICU) through Day 29.

This protocol will serve as a platform for assessing treatments for adult patients hospitalized for medical management of COVID-19 without related serious end-organ failure. Trials will involve sites around the world strategically chosen to ensure rapid enrollment. This trial will compare hyperimmune intravenous immunoglobulin (hIVIG) with matched placebo, when added to standard of care (SOC), for preventing further disease progression and mortality related to COVID-19. SOC will include remdesivir unless it is contraindicated for an individual patient.

The goal of the study is to examine whether a shared decision making intervention improves decision making about colon cancer screening for patients who had their colonoscopy delayed or postponed due to the COVID pandemic. Eligible patients (n=800) will be randomly assigned to either the intervention or control arm. A subset will be surveyed about 6-8 weeks post intervention to measure shared decision making, their intention to follow through with screening, and their decisional conflict. Study staff will conduct medical chart review to track receipt of colon cancer screening within 6 months. The statistician will test whether patients in the intervention arm report more shared decision making, less decisional conflict, higher intention to follow through on screening and have higher screening rates compared to those in the control arm.

The Can nebulised HepArin Reduce morTality and time to Extubation in Patients with COVID-19 Requiring mechanical ventilation Meta-Trial (CHARTER-MT) is a prospective collaborative individual patient data analysis of randomised controlled trials and early phase studies. Individual studies are being conducted in multiple countries, including Australia, Ireland, the USA, and the UK. Mechanically ventilated patients with confirmed or strongly suspected SARS-CoV-2 infection, hypoxaemia and an acute pulmonary opacity in at least one lung quadrant on chest X-ray, will be randomised to nebulised heparin 25,000 Units every 6 hours or standard care (open label studies) or placebo (blinded placebo controlled studies) for up to 10 days while mechanically ventilated. All trials will collect a minimum core dataset. The primary outcome for the meta-trial is ventilator-free days during the first 28 days, defined as being alive and free from mechanical ventilation. Individual studies may have additional outcomes.

Background: There are no proven therapies specific for pulmonary dysfunction in patients with acute hypoxemic respiratory failure (AHRF) caused by infections (including Covid-19). The full spectrum of AHRF ranges from mild respiratory tract illness to severe pneumonia, acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), multiorgan failure, and death. The efficacy of corticosteroids in AHRF and ARDS caused by infections remains controversial. Methods: This is a multicenter, randomized, controlled, open-label clinical trial testing dexamethasone in mechanically ventilated adult patients with established AHRF (including ARDS) caused by confirmed pulmonary or systemic infections, admitted in a network of Spanish ICUs. Eligible patients will be randomly assigned to receive dexamethasone: either 6 mg/d x 10 days or 20 mg/d x 5 days followed by 10 mg/d x 5 days. The primary outcome is 60-day mortality. The secondary outcome is the number of ventilator-free days at 28 days. All analyses will be done according to the intention-to-treat principle.

Currently, there is no approved treatment for COVID-19 in France, either for the acute phase, nor for the late chronic phase. the investigator suggest that nintedanib has the potential to block the development of lung fibrosis when initiated early enough to inhibit the activation of mesenchymal cells and the progression of virus-induced pulmonary fibrosis. Computerized Tomography (CT) manifestations of fibrosis or fibrous stripes are described in COVID-19 (Ye, Eur Radiol 2020). Pan et al observed fibrous stripes in 17% patients in the early phase of the disease (Pan, Eur Radiol 2020). Ye et al observed bronchiectasis in 2 patients (15.4%) and evidence of pulmonary fibrosis in 3 patients (23.7%) at HRCT performed at 4 weeks (Ye, Eur Radiol 2020). Long term data are still lacking in patients with COVID-19 and the investigators do not know how many patients will have fibrotic sequelae from the acute illness.
