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 present study is aimed to investigate the treatment benefits of a combination of dietary supplements quercetin, curcumin and vitamin D3 as add-on therapy to the routine care for early mild symptoms of COVID-19 infection in outpatients setting.

There are several clinical presentations of SARS-CoV-2 infection. Among the severe forms, pulmonary involvement with respiratory failure is common. Although severe lung involvement with SARS-CoV-2 meets the Berlin criteria for Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome (ARDS), it differs from classic ARDS in that compliance (reflecting distensibility of the lung parenchyma) is frequently preserved. If the interest of Electrical Impedance Tomography has been demonstrated in classical ARDS, this is not the case in ARDS with COVID-19. However, the use of this technique in this particular patient population would make it possible to distinguish patients with severe hypoxemia linked to derecruitment from those without derecruitment, in whom hypoxemia is more likely to be linked to the loss of hypoxic vasoconstriction.

The clinical syndrome associated with infection of the Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) is notable for its variable clinical expression. Infection and transmission of the virus by asymptomatic individuals have been noted and represent one end of the clinical spectrum, while multi-organ failure, particularly pulmonary failure, and death represent the most severe end of the clinical spectrum. In a recent study published from the investigator's institution about the first 393 patients with COVID-19, 77.1% had a fever, a mechanism driven by IL-1. This suggests that there may be an excess release of IL-1 present. Cytokine storm syndrome (CSS) has been observed in patients with COVID-19 and has been proposed to contribute to the acute pulmonary failure that occurs. In distinct clinical settings, macrophage activation syndrome, elevated levels of pro-inflammatory cytokines, including IL-1, IL-6, and others, as well as elevations in laboratory indicators, including ferritin, CRP, d-dimer, and lymphopenia, have been observed. IL-1 production is induced in response to inflammatory stimuli and mediates various physiologic responses including inflammatory and immunological responses. Anakinra, a recombinant IL-1 receptor antagonist, has shown promise in treating CSS. It inhibits both IL-1-alpha and IL-1-beta. It is an FDA approved medication used in rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and Cryopyrin-Associated Periodic Syndromes (CAPS). Anakinra's ability to inhibit both IL-1 subtypes and short half-life makes it favorable to some experts. In the investigator's case-series, using anakinra in patients with COVID-19 showed promising in preventing the need for mechanical ventilation, and mortality subsequently. This study will determine the efficacy of anakinra, an interleukin (IL) -1 receptor blocker, in reducing the need for mechanical ventilation and/or 28-day mortality among patients with COVID-19 who have features of CSS and severe respiratory failure. The investigators will test the hypothesis that the proportion of subjects with COVID-19, features of CSS, and severe respiratory failure (World Health Organization (WHO) category 4 or 5) alive and without having required mechanical ventilation at day 28 from randomization will be 18% higher among those that receive anakinra compared to those that receive a placebo. A secondary hypothesis is that the number of subjects alive at 60-days will be higher amongst those who receive anakinra compared to those who receive a placebo.

Preterm labor (PL) is the leading cause of hospitalization during pregnancy and premature birth the leading cause of fetal morbidity and mortality in France. PL is defined by regular and painful uterine contractions associated with a change in the cervix, between 22 and 36 weeks of gestation. It has been shown that the risk of spontaneous prematurity increases particularly in case of working over 40 hours per week, hard physically conditions, or prolonged daily transport time. Rest is one of the most efficient measure to prevent PL and should be proposed to all pregnant women, and combined with other therapies such as tocolysis or cerclage when needed. The very particular period of lockdown during the COVID-19 pandemic had pregnant women to drastically reduce their activity. They suspended their work and stayed home for various reasons such as pregnancy in progress, children at home, and also collective reasons such as teleworking or workplace closure. During the lockdown period from March 17th to May 11th 2020, fewer preterm labor and less spontaneous prematurity have been suspected by the neonatology and obstetrics teams throughout the Lorraine region. Our study aims to objectively confirm this observation. In this investigation we aim to find a relationship between lockdown, PL and spontaneous prematurity which would need to re-evaluate public health recommendations for pregnant women outside the lockdown.

In this 30-month study, the investigators propose to develop a culturally appropriate vaccine confidence intervention, targeting positive change related to HPV vaccine uptake behavior and reducing sentiments of hesitancy towards a COVID-19 vaccine, that can be seamlessly integrated into the existing environment of pediatric and family practice clinics in rural Alabama. To do so, the investigators will first assess stakeholders' knowledge, sentiments, and beliefs related to vaccination in general, a COVID-19 vaccination, and the HPV vaccination. The investigators will also assess stakeholders' perceptions of barriers to vaccination that exist in rural Alabama. This will occur in Aim 1. Then, in Aim 2, the investigators will use these data to inform the development of a non-invasive, modular synchronous counseling intervention targeting 15-17 year old adolescents (rationale for this age range presented later in this proposal). After the intervention has been finalized, in our final aim, Aim 3, we will conduct a hybrid type 1 effectiveness-implementation cluster randomized control trial to assess intervention acceptability and feasibility (N=4 clinics; N=120 adolescents), while also assessing for a "clinical signal" of effectiveness. To support dissemination and scale up, also during Aim 3, we will document implementation contexts to provide real-world insight. To do this, the investigators will conduct in-depth interviews with the same groups of stakeholders that we interviewed in Aim 1.
