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 new Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2) named coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is currently responsible for a pandemic spread of febrile respiratory infections, responsible for a veritable global health crisis. In adults, several evolutionary patterns are observed: i) a/pauci-symptomatic forms; ii) severe forms immediately linked to rare extensive viral pneumonia; and iii) forms of moderate severity, some of which progress to secondary aggravation (Day 7-Day 10). Children can be affected, but are more rarely symptomatic and severe pediatric forms are exceptional. Like some other coronaviruses (SARS-CoV and Middle East respiratory syndrome coronavirus (MERS-CoV)), these differences in clinical expression could be based on a variability in the immunological response, notably either via inhibition of the type I interferon (IFN-I) response, or on the contrary an immunological dysregulation responsible for a "cytokine storm" associated with the aggravation. Little is known about the impact of these innate immune response abnormalities on the adaptive response. In addition, certain genetic factors predisposing to a state of "hyper-fragility" and certain viral virulence factors could also be predictive of the clinical response. In this context, the main hypothesis is that the virological analysis and the initial biological and immunological profiles are correlated with the initial clinical presentation of COVID-19 infection. In particular, children forms and pauci-symptomatic disease in adults may be linked to a more robust innate immune response, including better production of IFN-I.

A rapid oxygen desaturation has observed in patients with COVID-19 which have seriously respiratory failure and most of them have intubated and connected to the mechanical ventilator. Finally, many of them have died during the process. ORF8 and superficial glycoproteins of a novel coronavirus bind to porphyrin on haemoglobin molecules and inhibit heme metabolism in an erythrocyte. However, it is not clarify the effects of the novel coronavirus on mean corpuscular volume (MCV), mean corpuscular of haemoglobin (MCH) and mean corpuscular haemoglobin concentration (MCHC).

The novel coronavirus disease (COVID-19), which began in Wuhan, China, in December 2019, has been declared to be a pandemic by the World Health Organization (WHO), Caused by the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), COVID-19 has resulted in 1,781,127 cases and 108,994 deaths globally (till 12th April, 2020), affecting 199 countries and 2 international conveyances. US FDA has recently approved Convalescent Plasma from patients recovered from COVID 19 for the treatment of severe or life threatening COVID-19 infections. In a small case series, five critically ill COVID-19 patients with ARDS were treated with convalescent plasma containing neutralizing antibodies. Infusion of plasma was followed by improvement in clinical status in all five patients, with no deaths and the study reported that three patients were discharged, whilst two continued to be stable on mechanical ventilation. We designed this phase II, open label, randomized clinical trial with the primary objective to assess the safety and efficacy of the therapy in the second stage.

In early 2020 the evolving COVID-19 Pandemic provided the world and medical community with a generational challenge. As a novel disease, countries were left with strategic decisions and many went into social lockdown. Initial resources and research were directed at upscaling internal medicine and intensive care services, understanding the disease pathophysiology, and testing treatments. It soon became evident that COVID-19 had multi-system effects at it's worst. In orthopaedics one of the most vulnerable groups to COVID-19 were the elderly, specifically those who suffered fractured neck of femur at this time. More literature is needed urgently if we are to understand and mitigate the negative impacts in this group of patients. This observational study assesses the early morbidity and mortality of patients with this diagnosis during the evolving COVID-19 Pandemic.
University Hospital Southampton NHS Foundation Trust
A weekly questionnaire is sent to patients and parents of patients who are vulnerable for infections. Possible symptoms of COVID19 are asked for and use of healthcare services and testing for COVID19. Weekly reports are being send to the national institutions to update advice given to this group.
Novartis Pharmaceuticals
This clinical study was designed to assess the efficacy and safety of MAS825 for the treatment of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-Cov-2) infected patients with coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pneumonia and impaired respiratory function.
San Luigi Gonzaga Hospital
Neuromuscular electrical stimulation (NMES) has been considered as a promising approach for the early rehabilitation of patients in and/or after the intensive care unit (ICU). Aim of this study is to evaluate the NMES effect on physical function of COVID-19 patients.
