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 purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of APL-9 in adults with mild to moderate ARDS (acute respiratory distress syndrome) caused by COVID-19 who are hospitalized and require supplemental oxygen therapy with or without mechanical ventilation. It is thought that COVID-19 activates the complement system, part of the immune system that responds to infection or tissue damage, and increases inflammation in the lungs. APL-9 has been designed to inhibit or block activation of part of the complement pathway, and potentially reduce inflammation in the lungs. Part 1 of the study is open-label to evaluate safety; all participants will receive APL-9 plus standard of care. Part 2 of the study is double-blind, randomized; participants will receive either APL-9 or the vehicle-control plus standard of care.
University Hospital, Linkoeping
The purpose of this study is to investigate the prevalence of venous thromboembolism in a regional health care system (Region Östergötland, Sweden) before and during the SARS-COV-2 pandemic. In a retrospective observational study, we will review patient data, diagnostic data and treatment data over a three-month period since the onset of the SARS-COV-2 pandemic. This data will be compared with data from the corresponding time frame during the years 2015 to 2019.

The COVID-19 pandemic is a traumatic event which could lead to a greater risk of developing post-traumatic stress disorder, especially in cancer patients who feel more at risk of contracting the virus, and fear developing serious symptoms. The study's primary objective is to measure the presence of a potential post-traumatic stress disorder in cancer patients, and to assess the associated factors. The secondary objectives are to measure patients' anxiety, as well as their perception of both the management of their cancer care, and their fear of a cancer recurrence. It is a prospective, multi-centric study using self-assessing survey offered to cancer patients currently under ongoing care or treatment. The surveys will be sent by post at the beginning of the study, and again 6 months later. Expecting a participation rate of 40%, 4000 patients will be contacted, over a period of 3 months, in order to receive 1600 responses, and 640 responses 6 months later. Researching the factors associated with the appearance of post-traumatic stress could lead to better screening of patient disorders in highly anxiety-provoking crisis situations. As a result, it would lead to an improvement of their care, healthcare organization, and their follow-up in the case of a new epidemic or any other stressful event of this magnitude. Furthermore, promoting the patient's expression capabilities favors their implication in their care, and facilitates the development of health democracy.
American Dental Association
As dentists begin reopening their practices during a global pandemic, the risk of COVID-19 infection that dentists face in providing dental care remains unknown. Estimating the occupational risk of COVID-19, and producing evidence on the types of infection control practices and dental practices that may affect COVID-19 risk, is therefore imperative. The goal of the proposed study is to understand U.S.-based dentists' health and dental-practice reactions to COVID-19. To estimate this, U.S-based dentists will be surveyed monthly. These findings could be used to describe the prevalence and incidence of COVID-19 among dentists, determine what infection control steps dentists take over time, and estimate whether infection control adherence in dental practice is related to COVID-19 incidence.

Since the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, the importance of chest computed tomography (CT) in detecting signs of viral pneumonia has become clear from the literature. However, the increased patient flow creates an additional pressure on CT centers. We believe, the use of chest magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) can help to test patients for CОVID-19 when CT scan is not available. Lung MRI may be useful in routing a patient in a difficult epidemiological situation.
National Research Center for Hematology, Russia
This is an observational prospective cohort study to evaluate the clinical course and outcomes of COVID-19 and the underlying disease in patients with hematologic disease (malignant or non-malignant).
Linkoeping University
The study seeks to investigate the effects of a guided internet-based cognitive behavioral therapy (ICBT) programme a on adult mental health problems related to the current coronavirus pandemic. ICBT will be compared to a wait-list control group. Participants will be recruited in Sweden with a nationwide recruitment.

The objectives of this research is to: - Assess perceptions, concerns, and practices related to the COVID-19 pandemic and mitigation strategies using the MURDOCK Study Community Registry and Biorepository population as a measure of these features in Cabarrus County through a biweekly electronic survey. - Estimate the prevalence and change in prevalence of COVID-19 infection based on responses to questionnaire items on symptoms and practices using a biweekly electronic survey. - Among respondents to the baseline questionnaire, conduct at home mid-turbinate nasal swab collection for viral PCR testing for active COVID-19 infection as an estimate of the prevalence of active infection in Cabarrus County. - Among respondents to the baseline questionnaire, conduct serologic testing for IgG antibodies to SARS-CoV-2 as an estimate of the prevalence of exposure and potential immunity to COVID-19.
Corporacion Parc Tauli
This project is based in the implementation of a combined monitoring system (technological solutions and medical visits) in survivors of the critical illness due to the infectious disease by COVID-19. The main objective of the project is to characterize the Post-Intensive Care Syndrome (PICS) and detect early needs for specific treatment.
Cardiac Arrhythmia Network of Canada
This multicentre prospective cohort trial is designed to demonstrate effectiveness and efficiency of a virtual care model for the management of COVID-19 patients isolating at home. The investigators have reoriented existing technology and networks for this research project. The investigators are amplifying our existing virtual care platform VIRTUES, combining it with home monitoring of COVID-19 patients, to provide real-time evidence, harmonize data collection, and share data provincially to mitigate the impact of the rapid spread of the virus. The study will facilitate early detection of complications associated with the disease, treatment and management of COVID-19 patients at home. The research will be conducted provincially in Ontario. This initiative will provide evidence to inform clinical and health system management and public health response to COVID-19 patients isolating at home.
