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 understand if it is safe and useful to perform SGB (Stellate Ganglion Block) in patients who have severe lung injury Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome (ARDS) due to COVID-19 infection.

This is a dose-finding safety trial followed by a randomized pilot trial comparing administration of SARS-CoV2-specific T cells (SARS-CoVSTs) to standard of care treatment in hospitalized patients with COVID19 who are at high risk of requiring mechanical ventilation. The SARS-CoVSTs lines have been made at Baylor College of Medicine from healthy donors who have made a full recovery from COVID19. These cell lines were frozen for later use and will be thawed and used to treat patients who meet the eligibility criteria.

Increased Risk of SARS-CoronaVirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2) Infection Associated With Endoscopy (DECORE Study)
The aim of our study to compare the proportion of patients who develop SARS-CoV-2 disease in 3 groups: patients undergoing a abdominal ultrasound examination in a Specialty Center, patients undergoing endoscopic procedure in a third level hospital with CoronaVirus Disease (COVID-19) hospitalization plants and patients who make a telephonic visit (do not go to the hospital) in the digestive system service.

The medical and paramedical staff of the front-line services are potentially exposed to SARS-CoV-2. Therefore, despite the application of standard protective measures, it is possible that a certain number of these personnel have already contracted SARS-CoV-2, including in its asymptomatic form. Serological testing in this context would be useful for deploying immune healthcare workers as to limit the risk of viral infection and transmission. Therefore, it is of utmost importance to prove that the serological response entails the production of neutralizing antibodies.

The purpose of this study assess the efficacy and safety of anti-SARS-CoV-2 convalescent plasma in hospitalized patients with acute respiratory symptoms up to 14 days after the onset of initial symptoms.

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.

So far little is very few drugs have demonstrated positive results for treatment of COVID19. Recently the researchers have shown that the use of icatibant in COVID-19 results in a potent decrease in oxygen use. Yet the effect of the three dosages as according to the label dose was insufficient to maintain the clinical improvement in a small group of patients. The researchers argue that with the use of lanadelumab a more lasting effect can be reached due to its longer half life.

The purpose of this study is to reduce melanoma mortality by improving early detection of melanoma with skin self-examination (SSE) among people who self-identify as being at risk and seek care for a concerning mole. Because women are more likely than men to perform SSE, women who are engaged in health promotion by having a recent screening mammogram are the focus of this research. Self-management of melanoma detection with SSE depends on ready access to dermatologists when a concerning mole is detected. In March 2020, the Illinois stay at home order (COVID-19) prohibited non-essential health care, including screening mammography and dermatology office-based care, and both are expected to remain limited until fall 2020. This submission explores a) the effectiveness of targeted melanoma detection (TMD) among women, who identify their risk of having a melanoma, learn to perform SSE, and perform SSE, and b) the effectiveness of adhesive patch-based home sample collection for genomic analysis to rule out melanoma in moles identified by women (who received the intervention) as concerning will be explored.

There is currently no treatment available for COVID-19, the acute respiratory illness caused by the novel SAR-CoV-2. Convalescent plasma from patients who have recovered from COVID-19 that contains antibodies to the virus is a potential therapy. On March 25th, 2020, the FDA approved the use of convalescent plasma under the emergency investigational new drug (eIND) category. Randomized trials are needed to determine the efficacy and safety of COVID-19 convalescent plasma for acute COVID-19 infection. The objective of the CONCOR-1 trial is to determine the efficacy of transfusion of COVID-19 convalescent plasma to adult patients admitted to hospital with COVID-19 infection at decreasing the frequency of in-hospital mortality in patients hospitalized for COVID-19. It is hypothesized that treating hospitalized COVID-19 patients with convalescent plasma early in their clinical course will reduce the risk of death, and that other outcomes will be improved including risk of intubation, and length of ICU and hospital stay. This pan-Canadian clinical trial has the potential to improve patient outcomes and reduce the burden on health care resources including reducing the need for ICU beds and ventilators.
