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.

Prone position ventilation is frequently used in the ICU to treat severe hypoxemia in patients with COVID-19 associated acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). The aim of the PROVENT-COVID study is to assess whether applying prone position ventilation immediately after intubation reduces the duration of mechanical ventilation compared to prone position ventilation according to standard criteria for prone position.

Covid-19 In Tunisia: AN Observational Cross-Sectional Registry Study
University of Alberta
A novel corona virus emerged in 2019 causing Corona Virus Disease 2019 (covid-19). In one year more than 80 000 000 cases worldwide were documented. Some patients experience symptoms, specifically shortness of breath, long after the viral infection has passed. These patients are colloquially known as "Covid-19 Long-Haulers" and it is currently unknown why symptoms remain after infection. Shortness of breath and exercise intolerance may be caused by corona virus infection, covid-19 therapy, and reduced physical activity. Exercise intolerance may be due to lung, heart, blood vessel and muscle changes. During infection, the corona virus appears to cause lung blood vessel and gas exchange surface damage. Early reports show heart dysfunction, secondary to pulmonary blood vessel dysfunction or damage. Critically, no data is available on lung blood vessel function or cardiac function during exercise. Moreover, no data are available to link persistent symptoms to physiology parameters. To better understand symptom persistence in Covid-19, the investigators aim to measure exercise tolerance and heart and lung function in covid-19 survivors and compare them to covid-19 free controls.

Emerging clinical details of the current SARS-CoV-2 pandemic have illustrated that there are multiple clinical presentations and outcomes of this viral infection. People with an infection have been reported to have a spectrum of disease from severe acute respiratory distress requiring ventilation, to mild respiratory or gastrointestinal symptoms and asymptomatic presentations. Mechanisms explaining the heterogeneity of host response to infection are yet to be characterised. The aim of this project is to understand the host immune response to infection with SARS-CoV-2 over time in convalescent adults, including acquired immune responses, circulating levels of immune signalling molecules, gene expression profiling in peripheral blood and to identify host genetic variants associated with disease progressions or severity. Participants will be healthcare workers who had a diagnosis of COVID-19 (confirmed by positive RT-PCR assay) more than 28 days ago and have recovered and are employed by Cwm Taf Morgannwg University health board. Samples will be processed and analysed to explore immunological, host genetic factors and virological factors that explain pathogenesis and predict outcomes of infection.

The purpose of this study is to examine how patients with multiple myeloma (MM) have been impacted by the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) pandemic. The study will use a questionnaire to further understand how patients are being affected and gather information in order to track the long-term effects of the coronavirus. The scope of the questionnaire will include, COVID-19 diagnosis and treatment, changes in myeloma treatment and care, clinical trial familiarity, health and fitness, and quality of life. This questionnaire is a follow-on to the "MM and COVID-19" questionnaire.

The aim of this study is to compare placental pathologies in patients with COVID 19 infection at the time of childbirth or a history of COVID 19 during pregnancy versus control patients

COVID-19 can cause myocarditis, which can cause myocardial fibrosis. This has been shown to increase mortality and morbidity among athletes. Several efforts have been made to guide sports participation after COVID-19, but not much scientific evidence is present to back-up those guidelines. The current initiative aims gain a heightened insight in this matter.To identify the presence of fibrosis athletes who recovered from COVID-19 will undergo CMR (Cardiac MRI). All athletes will also undergo echocardiography, 5-day Holtermonitoring among others. This will allow to determine whether differences between those with and those without fibrosis are present. If fibrosis is present, athletes will be offered an implantation of a very small monitoring device that will be able to detect arrhythmias with a much higher sensitivity. Also an exercise echocardiography will be performed, to determine the safety of continuation of athletic efforts. Amendment: Recently myocarditis and pericarditis have also been observed after the administration of mRNA-vaccines, specifically after the second dose. The effect of vaccination on exercise capacity is less clear. To investigate this we propose to amend the inclusion criteria for COVIDEX with "athletes undergoing or having undergone COVID vaccination"
