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.

In this trial, a total of 50 subjects were recruited; the test vaccines were divided into 3 groups, low-dose vaccine groups, high-dose vaccine groups, and placebo groups. The first-stage randomized participants in the low-dose group (20 cases) and the placebo group (5 cases) were evaluated for 7 days. After the 7-day safety data was evaluated and agreed by the DSMB, the second-stage study was conducted. Into the high-dose group (20 cases) and placebo group (5 cases) subjects; follow-up to 30 days, after the safety assessment by the investigator and consent, then inoculate the second dose. Observation was performed for 1.0 hour after the second dose. The researchers conducted a safety evaluation and agreed to follow-up after discharge.

Currently there are no proven treatments or vaccines for COVID-19 and care of the COVID patients is largely supportive involving treatment of symptoms such as fever with antipyretics, secondary bacterial chest infection with antibiotics and meticulous management of comorbid conditions. Several repurposed and new drugs have been investigated for treatment of COVID-19, however, none have been confirmed to be efficacious. These drugs include the antimalarials (chloroquine and hydroxychloroquine), antivirals such as remdesivir and favipiravir and antiretroviral combination therapies such lopinavir/ritonavir. There is emerging evidence to support the use of COVID convalescent plasma for the treatment of COVID-19. There is need to leverage the blood transfusion services in countries and this is beginning to happen on the continent.

Background: The virus SARS-CoV-2 has spread rapidly throughout the world. Seniors are at high risk of severe COVID-19 when infected. Bacille Calmette-Guérin (BCG) is a vaccine against tuberculosis, with protective non-specific effects against other infections; significant reductions in morbidity and mortality have been reported, and a plausible immunological mechanism has been identified: "trained innate immunity". The investigators hypothesize that BCG vaccination can reduce the risk of COVID-19 and other infections among senior citizens during the COVID-19 pandemic. Objectives: Primary objective: To reduce senior citizens' risk of acute infection during the COVID-19 pandemic. Secondary objectives: To reduce senior citizens' risk of SARS-CoV-2 infection during the COVID-19 pandemic. To reduce senior citizens' risk of self-reported respiratory illness during the COVID-19 pandemic. Study design: A placebo-controlled randomized trial. Study population: 1900 seniors 65 years of age or above. Intervention: Participants will be randomized 1:1 to intradermal administration of a standard dose of BCG vaccine or placebo (saline). Outcomes: Primary outcome: "Acute infection" identified either by a doctor, antibiotics use, hospitalization, or death due to infection. Secondary outcomes: Verified SARS-CoV-2 infection and self-reported respiratory illness. With an expected incidence of "acute infection" of 20%, the trial can show a 25% risk reduction in the the intervention group versus the placebo group by including a total of 1900 individuals, 950 individuals in each group. Risk for participants and impact: Based on previous experience and randomized controlled trials in adult and elderly individuals, the risks of BCG vaccination are considered low. If BCG can reduce the risk of acute infection in seniors by 25% it has tremendous public health importance, both during the COVID-19 pandemic and overall.

Originally, the study was planned to include two parts, i.e., Part A and Part B, however Part B was skipped due to changes in the overall clinical development plan. The conducted Part A was a dose-finding part to investigate the optimal dose, allowing dose adjustments upwards and downwards in younger participants. Doses tested in older participants were chosen based on acceptability of dosing in younger participants.

Methodology: This is a controlled, randomized, multicenter open-label Phase Ib clinical exploratory trial in patients with fibrosing interstitial lung disease secondary to SARS-CoV-2 infection. Patients who give informed consent will be screened for enrolment in the study. Patients that meet the eligibility criteria will be enrolled and randomly allocated in the control arm (best standard of care) or the experimental arm (best standard of care plus IN01 vaccination). The patients enrolled in the control arm of the study will receive standard of care. The primary endpoint is safety, measured by the Frequency and severity of AEs graded according to Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) Version 5.0 criteria. Biochemical and blood count alterations will be also monitored. Safety will be defined based on the frequency and severity of adverse events (AEs) throughout the patient's participation in the study comparing between control and experimental arms. Efficacy will be measured as function of the annual rate of decline in the Forced Vital Capacity (FVC) at 1 year after patient inclusion in the study and the blood oxygen saturation levels at days 1, 14 (w2), d 28 (w4), 42 (w6) and 92 (w12); week 24, week 36 and week 52. High-resolution Computed Tomography (CT) scans will be taken at at baseline and weeks, 12, 24, and 52 to evaluate the resolution of the fibrosing interstitial lung disease. A translational substudy will be included. Objectives: Primary Objective ● To evaluate the safety and tolerability of IN01 vaccine in diagnosed ex-COVID-19 patients that develop fibrotic lung syndrome after infection. Secondary Objectives - To evaluate the effect of IN01 vaccine on Oxygen saturation, pulmonary function, quality of life and fibrosing status in ex-COVID-19 patients that developed fibrosing lung disease after infection. - To assess biomarkers and molecular markers related to the IN01 vaccine mechanism of action.
