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 primary aim of this study is to examine the efficacy of a one-session, hour-long HIPAA-compliant video platform-based mindfulness + compassion telehealth intervention on reducing feelings of loneliness during COVID-19 quarantine. Participants (n=120) currently isolating due to COVID-19 will be randomized to one of three interventions: (a) mindfulness + compassion (MC); (b) mindfulness alone (MO); and (c) waitlist control (WL). The investigators predict that participants in the active intervention groups (mindfulness or mindfulness + compassion) will show a significantly greater reduction in subjective feelings of loneliness at one week follow-up compared to those in the waitlist control group. Additionally, investigators predict that participants in the active intervention groups will show a significantly greater reduction in stress at one week follow-up compared to those in the waitlist control group. Last, investigators predict that participants in the mindfulness + compassion group will show a significantly greater reduction in subjective feelings of loneliness at the 2-week follow-up follow-up relative to those in the mindfulness only group.

The COVID-19 pandemic has undoubtedly elevated levels of stress to people all over the globe, but none more than to the providers on the front-line. The purpose of the study is to first, assess the effects of the pandemic on burnout, team cohesion, and resiliency among healthcare providers battling COVID-19 together in a medical ICU (MICU). Secondly, the investigators hope to then assess the effects of simple positive feedback on transforming culture and attitudes during times of major stress.

This proposed study will assess how COVID-19 and the associated 'stay at home' orders are affecting low-income Rwandan couples' relationships and family dynamics. The study builds on an existing randomized controlled trial of the Bandebereho fathers/couples intervention (NCT02694627), which will allow us to assess not only the current conditions in households, but also whether or how the significant impacts of the intervention are sustained under extreme stress.

The purpose of this study is to define seroprevalence of anti-SARS-CoV2 among children of Hospital Workers in APHP, particularly exposed population, according to parents' SARS-CoV2 serological status.

This phase III trial compares low dose whole lung radiation therapy to best supportive care plus physicians choice in treating patients with COVID-19 infection. Low dose whole lung radiation therapy may work better than the current best supportive care and physician's choice in improving patients' clinical status, the radiographic appearance of their lungs, or their laboratory blood tests.

Trial Phase: Phase III: Interventional Trial: Virtual clinics to deliver universal interventions to maintain and improve physical health, nutritional state and psychological wellbeing in people with cancer who are following social distancing guidance: A COVID-19 targeted trial. Indication: Male or female participants, aged over 18 years old with suspicion or confirmed diagnosis of cancer (does not require histological confirmation) Objective: To investigate the efficacy of remote multimodal universal interventions delivered via virtual clinics to improve physical function as measured by the EORTC-QLQ-C30. Secondary Objective: To investigate the efficacy of remote multimodal universal interventions delivered via virtual clinics to improve emotional function, quality of life, participant activation (PAM), behaviour change and the effect it has on health economics (EQ-5D-5L). Exploratory Objective: Overall Survival and adherence to the intervention/advice using validated tools or development of a web-based toolkit.

Low doses of radiation in the form of chest x-rays has been in the past to treat people with pneumonia. This treatment was thought to reduce inflammation and was found to be effective without side effects. However, it was an expensive treatment and was eventually replaced with less expensive treatment options like penicillin. The COVID-19 virus has emerged recently, causing high rates of pneumonia in people. The authors believe that giving a small dose of radiation to the lungs may reduce inflammation and neutralize the pneumonia caused by COVID-19. For this study, the x-ray given is called radiation therapy. Radiation therapy uses high-energy X-ray beams from a large machine to target the lungs and reduce inflammation. Usually, it is given at much higher doses to treat cancers. The purpose of this study is to find out if adding a single treatment of low-dose x-rays to the lungs might reduce the amount of inflammation in the lungs from COVID-19 infection, which could reduce the need for a ventilator or breathing tube.

Finding effective strategies to treat or prevent the novel coronavirus disease that started in 2019 (COVID-19) is a global public health priority. Potential therapeutics and vaccines are now being investigated in over 1500 clinical trials. Clinical features of the disease include overproduction of reactive oxygen species which induces oxidative stress responses and contribute to acute lung injury. This presents a potential treatment strategy involving antioxidation therapy. In this pilot study, 90 COVID-19 patients aged 18-75 years will be recruited into two groups. The 45 patients in group 1 will receive the standard of care determined by their primary care providers while the 45 patients in group 2 will receive both the standard of care combined with daily antioxidant supplement for 14 days. All patients will be monitored for a total of 28 days with daily monitoring of symptoms and nasopharyngeal swab for SARS-CoV-2 test on days 3, 7, 14 and 28. The study will compare the following between the two groups: (1) the proportion of patients with clinical improvement (defined as live discharge from hospital, decrease of at least 2 points from baseline on a 7-point ordinal scale, or both), and (2) the proportion of patients with negative SARS-CoV-2 test by PCR on days 3, 7, and 14.

Corona virus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is caused by SARS-CoV-2, a plus-sense single-stranded RNA virus. After an incubation period, which typically lasts for 5-6 days, COVID-19 patients present with a mild illness that lasts for a few days. Common symptoms are reminiscent of the flu, and include fever, dry cough and dyspnea. A large percentage of patients resolve the infection whereas others progress onto adult respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) which impedes gas exchange between the alveolar space and the bloodstream and creates the need for assisted respiration. The objective of this study is to investigate the safety and efficacy of CARDIO supplementation in the recovery of those with COVID-19 infection following the guidance from public health by reducing the need for mechanical respiratory support, alleviating respiratory symptoms and reducing mortality.
