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 identify healthcare workers with SARS CoV 2 antibodies who have not been previously diagnosed and are presumed COVID-19 negative, then determine the level of immunity in this population which could inform further decisions about widespread antibody testing in a healthcare worker population.
Bursa Yüksek İhtisas Education and Research Hospital
In the course of COVID disease, some patients need intensive care treatment. We aim to find an answer to the question of whether the patient's CRP, ferritin, D-dimer, Oxygen Saturation, lymphocyte count, and body mass index can be used as a criterion for admitting patients with COVID to the intensive see unit.

To determine efficacy of COVID19 hyper immunoglobulins prepared from convalescent plasma using VIPS Mini-Pool IVIG medical device in the treatment of COVID19 2. To determine efficacy of anti-SARS-CoV-2 hyper immunoglobulins in the prevention of infection in high risk groups exposed to SARS-CoV-2 infection
Organicell Regenerative Medicine
The purpose of this research study is to evaluate the safety and potential efficacy of Intravenous Infusion of Zofin for treatment of moderate to severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS) related to COVID-19 infection vs Placebo.

The general aim of this study is to estimate the rate of disease progression for adults testing positive for SARS-CoV-2. The primary endpoint for this study and the basis for sample size is hospitalization or death during the 28 day follow-up period. In some locations special facilities are being built/utilized for quarantine/public health reasons for those who are SARS-CoV-2 positive. Hospitalization is defined as a stay for at least 18 hours, irrespective of reason, at a hospital or one of these special facilities after study enrollment. Secondary outcomes include participant-reported health status and change in severity of dyspnoea.

As of March 25, 2020, 414,179 cases and 18,440 deaths secondary to Coronavirus 2019 disease (COVID-19) have been reported worldwide. The unfavorable course of the patients is characterized on the immunological level by an intense pro-inflammatory response which can go as far as a cytokinic storm. This pandemic affects a naive world population from an immunological point of view with respect to SARS-CoV-2 responsible for COVID-19. The evolution is favorable without hospitalization in almost 85% of cases. Among patients hospitalized for pneumonia, some will not require ventilatory support while others will need intensive care. To date, two main types of unfavorable evolution have been described. The first is a bi-phasic evolution beginning with a paucisymptomatic form which is worsened secondarily with respiratory distress associated with a decrease in the viral load in the airways. The second is associated with persistent high viral loads in the airways and detection of the virus in the blood. These different clinical profiles could depend on the quantitative and qualitative response of the innate immune system. At the early stage of a viral infection the innate immunity is capable of detecting certain conserved microbial patterns (PAMP, pathogen-associated molecular pattern) recognized by receptors dedicated to these patterns (PRR, pattern recognition receptor). This process allows to initiate the pro-inflammatory response via different signaling pathways. Activating multiprotein complexes called inflammasomes, which cause pro-IL-1β and pro-IL-18 to be transformed into active pro-inflammatory cytokines are one of these pathways. The central role of inflammasomes in the secretion of these pro-inflammatory cytokines deserves an in-depth study of their activation during COVID-19, whereas the inadequate inflammatory response appears to be the determining factor in the unfavorable development of patients. The objective of this project is to analyze the level of activation of the inflammasomes and then to search for inactivating or activating mutations among the genes which code for the proteins constituting the inflammasomes in Covid-19 patients. The identification of mutations in patients with a serious clinical presentation or even death would be followed by fundamental work by analyzing in a cellular model the impact of these mutations on the secretion of IL-1β.

The Malaysian COVID-19 Anosmia Study is a nationwide multicentre observational study to investigate the prevalence and characteristics of olfactory and gustatory/taste disturbances in COVID-19 infection in Malaysia, and to evaluate the predictive value of screening for these symptoms in COVID-19 infection. This study consists of two phases: the first phase is a cross-sectional study and the second phase is a case-control study. The case-control study is described here (the cross-sectional study is described in a separate ClinicalTrials.gov record).

In this study, the investigators propose to analyse the clinical data of all patients admitted in Geneva University Hospitals (HUG) or in a care center in Geneva who are diagnosed with COVID-19. CVD being one of the most important risk factors for developing a severe form of the disease, the investigators will explore the prognosis and clinical outcomes of those patients according to their CVD history as well as newly onset CVD during hospitalization. Moreover, as further evidence is needed on the use of renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system (RAAS) inhibitors for SARS-CoV-2 infected patients, the investigators will study prognosis and outcomes according to the patients' medications. Finally, the investigators propose to evaluate hospital length of stay and cost. The aim, therefore, is to collect information and scientific evidence from patients hospitalized and diagnosed positive for COVID-19, in order to evaluate if previous (or newly onset) CVD may influence outcomes and costs.
