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.

VIDO has developed a vaccine called COVAC-2. The study vaccine contains a portion of the SARS-CoV-2 spike protein, called S1. The spike protein is the part of the virus that is responsible for attaching to the surface of host cells. COVAC-2 contains a SWE adjuvant. An adjuvant is a compound that is added to a vaccine to help the vaccine produce a better immune response. The SWE adjuvant belongs to a family of oil-based adjuvants that have been given to millions of people around the world as part of influenza vaccines. The COVAC-2 vaccine is expected to stimulate the body to make antibodies against the S1 protein. The antibodies will recognize the viral spike protein if the body is exposed to the virus and prevent or reduce the severity of COVID-19 illness. In animal studies, the immune response generated by the COVAC-2 vaccine was able to protect the vaccinated animals against a severe SARS-CoV-2 infection. Phase 1 is a multi-centred trial of the COVAC-2 vaccine to be completed in Canada. It will be a randomized, observer-blinded, and placebo-controlled study to assess the safety and immunogenicity of three dosing levels (25, 50, and 100 µg protein) administered twice (4 weeks apart) in healthy adults 18 through 54 years of age (Phase 1a) and 55 years of age and older (Phase 1b). Enrolment and vaccination of participants will be staggered over time based on participant age and vaccine dose. Approval will be sought from the Data Safety Monitoring Board (DSMB) to proceed with the second dose in each group, to enroll at each dose level, and to enroll in the older age group for each dose level. Within the same age group, the 8 participants receiving the lowest dose are randomized with 4 participants receiving placebo; the 8 participants receiving the medium dose are randomized with 4 participants receiving placebo; and the 8 participants receiving the highest dose are randomized with 4 participants receiving placebo. Within each dose level of 12 participants, it is proposed to immunize a first cohort of 3 participants (including at least 2 active vaccine participants) and pending no holding rule is met after 48 hours, to immunize the remaining 9 participants within that dose level.

A fixed cohort of adults in rural Kimpese will be followed up every two months since they are assumed to be at above average risk of contracting COVID-19. Every two months these individuals will be interviewed with a focus on COVID-19 related symptoms and possible exposure to the disease and have their temperature recorded. A social mixing survey will also be carried out to assess human contact behaviour. The data generated will help inform mathematical modelling that can predict which proportion of the population per age group is likely to get infected once COVID-19 is introduced in this rural population, and the epidemic size if no intervention, as well as when targeted interventions are introduced. During the outbreak, physical distancing measures could be implemented. The monitoring of social contacts, again using a social-mixing survey, will contribute to the understanding of the impact of such measures in a rural context on transmission of SARS-CoV-2. The results from the seroprevalence over time, will be used to refine and validate the predictions from the modelling results, (re)calibrate the model where needed, and test hypotheses on transmission-dynamics of COVID-19. In case of an established epidemic of Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) in the Health Zone of Kimpese, the sero-surveillance will be extended from an assumed high risk cohort to a representative sample of the overall population. Moreover, support to the COVID-19 control measures will be provided by the study team. The national guidelines recommend household transmission investigation for the first 100 confirmed laboratory cases. During the household visit, information on symptoms and one serum sample will be requested of all household members of the index case. If household members are present with symptoms and fever, the COVID-19 outbreak team of Kimpese will provide diagnostic testing and medical care.

Deep sedation in patients with COVID-19 may be challenging in many aspects. The use of an EEG-based protocol to guide deep sedation may be useful in this particular population, considering their unusually high sedation requirements. In the present trial, we aim to evaluate an EEG-based protocol to guide deep sedation in patients with COVID19, using to EEG derived parameters that are displayed in the BIS monitor: Suppression Rate and Spectral Edge Frequency. The protocol is designed to both minimize the suppression rate along with maintaining a spectral edge frequency over 10 Hz. The use of this protocol may reduce the amount of sedatives administered and, therefore, diminish the time needed for the weaning process.

The Mental Health Among Patients, Providers, and Staff (MHAPPS) Study is designed to study how the COVID-19 pandemic has affected mental health and wellbeing, and how to support mental health while minimizing the burden on the healthcare system. The study will enroll adults and adolescents who have had a primary care visit in the last 12 months, as well as healthcare providers and staff from a large health system in Idaho. The study will include: Aim 1: a cross sectional survey to measure the prevalence of various measures of mental distress and how they are associated with COVID-19-related factors; and Aim 2: a randomized controlled trial comparing the effectiveness of two versions of a Caring Contacts intervention to reduce loneliness and mental distress.

The pathogenesis of COVID-19, which is caused by the coronavirus species, which has become a global health problem affecting the lives of billions of people worldwide and is a member of the Betacoronavirus genus, is not fully understood. Although its pathogenesis is thought to be multifactorial, it results in a systemic hyperinflammatory response and associated thromboembolic complications in severe cases. It is thought that some vitamins and nutrients may be beneficial for COVID-19 infected patients due to their anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties. Vitamins such as A, B, C, D, E and folate; trace elements such as iron, zinc, magnesium, selenium and copper play important roles in supporting both innate and adaptive immune systems, and studies have shown that the trace elements investigated have important roles in COVID-19. For this reason, it is important to investigate the levels of trace elements. In addition, while the disease spreads all over the world, individuals are required to stay at home for a long time against the risk of contamination. Due to these isolation and limitations, physical activity levels decrease in individuals. As reductions in the level of physical activity may cause possible secondary symptoms, another parameter is to determine the physical activity level in order to prevent the potential harmful effects of these protective lifestyle regulations related to COVID-19 and to prevent the restrictions from causing physical inactivity. This study is planning to conduct between January and February 2021 in order to compare the trace element levels in blood samples and physical activity levels of patients with COVID-19 (SARS CoV-2) who applied to Izmir Bakircay University Cigli Training and Research Hospital (Cigli Regional Training Hospital) and hospitalized in the COVID-19 service. It was planned as a prospective, randomized controlled trial. Research data will be obtained from blood samples taken from participants. In addition, data on physical activity levels will be collected through a questionnaire. After analyzing the data obtained from the research with appropriate statistical methods, the data will be evaluated.
