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 management of patients with SARS-CoV2 in respiratory distress can expose to corneal or retinal lesions induced by the stay in intensive care. Examination by ophthalmologists would make it possible to detect the most of the ophthalmologic problems known in intensive care and to provide an early, preventive or curative therapeutic response when possible, in order to avoid irreversible visual loss. The object of the research is to assess the presence and the importance of surface ophthalmologic lesions, the presence and the importance of retinal or optic nerve lesions, in order to improve the monitoring and primary prevention of this population

This study seeks to assess the impact of physical and pulmonary rehabilitation on patients who have been diagnosed with COVID-19 in the short and long term in hopes of establishing a best practices protocol for treatment of future patients with this disease.

Ophthalmologic damages secondary to COVID-19 coronavirus infection are little described. The ocular involvement is probably multiple, ranging from pathologies of the anterior segment such as conjunctivitis and anterior uveitis to disorders that threaten vision such as retinitis or optic neuropathy. On the other hand, in addition to this impairment, when patients are hospitalized for acute respiratory failure, complications related to possible resuscitation, medication prescriptions, positioning and oxygenation. COVID-19 itself, has several components: - An apoptotic action of the viral attack which will generate cellular destruction, whether pulmonary, cardiac or renal or maybe ocular - A secondary autoimmune action with the development of major vascular inflammation, possibly reaching the retinal, choroidal, and optic nerve vessels. A secondary "hyper" inflammatory syndrome with flashing hypercytokinemia and multi-organ decompensation is described in 3,7% to 4 ,3% of severe cases. - A thromboembolic action

Introduction: The SARS-Cov-2 outbreak in France and the concomitant massive increase in the number of cases requiring hospital management create a major risk of COVID-19 infection for hospital staff. In addition to nosocomial transmission, the health care workers (HCWs), defined as persons serving in health care settings who have the potential for direct or indirect exposure to patients or infectious materials, are also exposed to community transmission. Whether HCWs acquire infection at work or in the community is important to adapt protection measures. A few studies investigated COVID-19 infection among medical and nursing personnel. However, none have analyzed all categories of hospital staff. As of April 9, 2020, a total of 9,282 US HCWs with confirmed COVID-19 had been reported to CDC (US), however description of occupational activities was not available. Therefore, limited information is available about COVID-19 infection among HCWs. Thus, the objectives of the sdudy are to estimate the incidence of symptomatic SARS-CoV-2 infection in HCWs in five university hospitals (including geriatric hospitals) of the great Paris area and to estimate both nosocomial and community risk factors. Method: A prospective and retrospective cohort study that includes all hospital staff (including medical and nursing personnel, health care managers, laboratory, radiology, reception staffs, stretcher-bearers, etc.) working in different departments of five university hospitals (acute medical centers and geriatric hospitals) in the great Paris area (9 000 HCWs). Incidence of symptomatic SARS-CoV-2 infection will be estimated with its 95%CI. Individual and contextual risk factors will be analyzed using multilevel multivariate logistic regression modelling to account for clustering and confounding. Conclusion This study should make it possible to better characterize SARS-Cov-2 contamination of HCWs and to estimate the share of nosocomial transmission.

The 2020 pandemic of the coronavirus (SARS-CoV2) has lead to an increase in ARDS cases requiring invasive mechanical ventilation in the ICU (Intensive Care Unit). The investigators hypothesize that airway pressure release ventilation (APRV) could be beneficial in patients with ARDS secondary to SARS-COV2 viral pneumonia.

The authors hypothesize that the SARS-CoV-2 virus can affect the kidneys, causing them to be damaged. The present study aims to explain the mechanisms of kidney injury in patients diagnosed with COVID-19.

This is a Phase II, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, multicenter study to assess the efficacy and safety of MSTT1041A (astegolimab) compared with placebo and of UTTR1147A compared with placebo, in combination with standard of care (SOC), in patients hospitalized with severe coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pneumonia.

Maternal-fetal transmission in the second or third trimester of pregnancy of the SARS-COV-2 virus could explain some late fetal losses. Finding a cause in the context of fetal loss is essential for parents and caregivers. It helps to understand the history of the disease, to address the possible risk of a recurrence and to plan for future pregnancies. If the maternal-fetal transmission of COVID 19 is confirmed and that it is responsible for obstetric complications, a preventive action could be proposed to the patients by the preconception vaccination. The investigators are seeking to clarify the frequency of this transmission is information awaited by caregivers, women, couples in particular when the latter are in distress from late fetal loss.

The effective medical treatment against COVID-19 infection is still unknown. Chloroquine phosphate is a well-known antimalarial drug which has been on the market for many years. Recently, in vitro study shown that Chloroquine is effective at both entry and at post-entry stages of the COVID-19 infection of Vero E6 cells with promising results. Chloroquine is also an immune-modifier and could distribute to the whole body including lung. Also, chloroquine is cheap and safe, and could be a promising agent against COVID-19 infection. However, only hydroxychloroquine (HCQ) with the extra hydroxyl group is available in Taiwan. Therefore, hydroxychloroquine instead become the best choice for the treatment candidate, since it shows higher in vitro potency (EC50) against COVID-19 with lower toxicity while retaining the original effect which compared with chloroquine.
