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.

The study aims to identify COVID 19 knowledge, working conditions, perception of anxiety and stigma among Egyptian health care providers as well as their predictors.
ETH Zurich
The aim is to develop a wearable-based ICU (intensive care unit) prediction algorithm for inpatients contracted with SARS-CoV-2. Inpatients with suspicion of COVID-19 or with confirmed SARS-CoV-2 infection will be included. The participants will be equipped with a smartwatch, which gathers physiological data throughout hospitalisation.
Tehran University of Medical Sciences
The aim of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of pulmonary physiotherapy on respiratory functions in hospitalized patients with Novel Coronavirus 2019 pneumonia. Patients will be randomized into 1) intervention group: receiving pulmonary physiotherapy technique to improve pulmonary function and walking training or 2) control group: Usual medical care. Patients in both groups will receive therapeutic incentive spirometer. Various outcome measurements of pulmonary functions will be evaluated before and after of interventions. Mortality rate, hospitalization duration and re-admission will be followed until one month after end of intervention. Also, patient's quality of life will be measured after one month.

The global health emergency created by the rapid spread of the SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus has pushed healthcare services to face unprecedent challenges to properly manage COVID-19 severe and critical manifestations affecting a wide population in a short period of time. Clinicians are committed to do their best with a great uncertainty in this evolving crisis. Off label use of plenty of drugs has arisen the need for clinical trials to demonstrate their true role in the therapy. Based in unpublished experiences in China, Italy and Spain, intravenous IL-6 receptor inhibitors are now being tested in several trials but no data on subcutaneous formulations are available yet. Sarilumab is a human monoclonal antibody that binds membrane-bound and soluble IL-6 receptors to inhibit IL-6 signalling, licensed in a subcutaneous route administration.
Kerecis Ltd.
Viruxal Oral and Nasal Spray is a Class I CE marked medical device manufactured by Kerecis hf (the "Device"). A double blind clinical trial will be conducted to evaluate the Device against placebo in COVID-19 positive, symptomatic patients in Iceland. Immediate access to COVID-19 patients is available through a well-organized COVID-19 outpatient follow-up clinic. Up to 128 patients with mild to moderate symptoms of COVID-19 will be recruited (so called "higher end of the low risk group"). These patients will be positive for COVID-19, be symptomatic with upper respiratory symptoms, but without involvement of the entire respiratory system. The patients will be randomized to receive treatment with the Study Device or to receive placebo. 64 patients will be randomized into the Study Device group and 64 patients into the Control group. Patients will administer Study Device or Control for 14 days and will have their symptoms recorded until no further symptoms are reported, up to a maximum of 28 days follow-up.

Despite being originated in Wuhan, in the China mainland region of the Hubei, Italy has been the hardest-hit country in the world by the COVID-19 pandemic during the month of March. Due to the uncontrollable spread of the contagion, the Italian Government has been forced to impose a series of restrictions and social distancing measures, culminating in the extension of lockdown to the entire Italian territory on March 8th. During this period, the general population has been overwhelmed by feelings of worry, anxiety, and discomfort. The discomfort is reinforced by the lengthening of the lockdown, to the point that it may be considered as a mass model of chronic or subchronic mild stress. The predictable effects of this stress on mental health have already been claimed, Post-traumatic symptoms were found in 7% among 285 Wuhan and surrounding cities' residents during the COVID-19 outbreak. A recent survey in the Italian general population reported similar outcomes. In this context, the psychic conditions of the most fragile ones, i.e. those already affected by a severe mental disorder, represent a major concern. Having a history of psychiatric illness is regarded as one of the most relevant predictors of a negative psychological impact of quarantine. Patients with severe mental disorders may be among the hardest hit subjects, as they may be more vulnerable by the COVID-19 outbreak for a series of clinical and psychological factors. In the Italian context, the vulnerability of these patients may be increased by the lockdown of mental health services as a consequence of mass quarantine and optimization of health resources toward action to contrast COVID-19-related sanitary emergencies. Despite several reports investigated the psychological effects of COVID-19 pandemic on health-care workers, COVID-19 affected people, or the general population, at the moment, no study has investigated the effects of the distress caused by fear of contagion and mass quarantine on severe mental disorder patients. The present study aimed at providing a first evaluation of anxiety, depressive, stress-related symptoms in these patients.
Centre hospitalier de Ville-Evrard, France
The purpose of the investigators is to study the psychological impact of the COVID-19 lockdown on the members of the Ville Evrard Hospital staff and their close relatives, and to identify potential lockdown conditions that could increase anxiety, anger and depressive symptoms in this population.

Increased D-dimers at admission of COVID-19 infected patients entering hospital due to a severe disease is a risk factor for death. Understanding this acquired coagulopathy is a prerequisite before specific interventional studies. The study investigators aim to apply a normalized and automated thrombin generation test (TGT), developed for testing the thrombotic risk (triggered by 5 pM Tissue Factor, with a purified thrombomodulin (TM) challenge) and to study its association with survival.

This is a prospective multicenter cohort study. The question arises as to whether treatment with protease inhibitors (PIs) could have a preventive role for COVID-19 infection, especially since patients living with HIV (PLWHIV) have not been described as more at risk of developing COVID-19 infection. The aim of our study will therefore be to assess the impact of long-term protease inhibitors in PLWHIV on the incidence of COVID-19.
