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.

A Phase I, double- blinded, randomized, placebo- controlled study to test the safety of Lomecel-B in Adults suffering from mild to severe acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) due to COVID-19 resultant from 2019-nCoV coronavirus infection, or resultant from influenza virus infection.

This is study is comprised of three approaches. First, the investigators will conduct a retrospective cohort study to determine factors associated with COVID-19 severity and complications and understand COVID-19 outcomes, including all-cause mortality, post-discharge events, and impacts of rehabilitation services (third aim). The second aim is a mixed-method study and follows COVID-19 patients with repeated surveys to determine patient-reported functional outcomes, health recovery, and rehabilitation needs after COVID-19. The investigators will recruit patients and their informal caregivers for interviews to assess their function and rehabilitation needs.

On 30 January 2020, WHO declared the SARS-CoV-2 outbreak as a public health emergency of international concern. Compared to SARS-CoV, which caused an outbreak of SARS in 2003, SARS-CoV-2 has a higher transmission capacity. Although the clinical manifestations of SARS-CoV-2 are dominated by respiratory symptoms, some patients have severe cardiovascular damage. In addition, patients with underlying cardiovascular disease may be at increased risk of death. Therefore, understanding the impairments caused by SARS-CoV-2 to the cardiovascular system and the underlying mechanisms is of the utmost importance. Circulating endothelial cells (CECs) are generally considered markers of lesions and may be non-invasive markers of pulmonary vascular dysfunction during SARS-CoV-2 infection. Another marker of endothelial activation could be circulating extracellular vesicles. They could also be involved in the spread of the virus. Thus this project proposes to study different aspects of the diagnosis and pathophysiology of SARS-CoV-2. We propose to fully study activation state of coagulation and endothelium on a plasma and cellular side in patients diagnosed with SARS-CoV-2/COVID19. The different forms of the disease will be included: without lung disease, with a more or less severe lung disease, i.e. having evolved or not towards acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). Extensive research of biomarkers will be compared to the detection of the virus in the respiratory tract as well as in the blood. This work will contribute to a better description of disease pathophysiology and should allow us to identify a patient profile in whom preventive or curative anticoagulant therapy could be considered.

Our understanding of the clinical manifestations of COVID-19 is growing on a daily basis and there is evidence that increased age, cardiovascular risk factors and cardiac comorbidity are strongly associated with poor outcomes. Furthermore, myocardial injury occurs and is associated with a much worse outcome and rapid increase in mortality. There have been several reports of myocarditis and heart failure following infection. The mechanisms of myocardial injury and its consequences are not well understood. In an ongoing peer-reviewed and funded study, the investigators are evaluating the use of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) to characterise and to understand the mechanisms of heart failure and myocarditis. Following strong encouragement by the British Heart Foundation, the investigators now propose to extend this investigation to patients who have recovered from COVID-19 infection to understand the mechanisms of myocardial injury that they have experienced. Using gadolinium and manganese-enhanced MRI combined with Computed tomography coronary angiography (CTCA), the investigators will assess the mechanisms and direct impact of myocardial injury in patients who have recovered from COVID-19 infection. This will help the investigators understand how best to manage individuals who demonstrate evidence of myocardial injury and potentially provide insights that could lead to novel treatment interventions to reduce such injury and improve patient outcomes.

Bone and soft tissue sarcomas represent about 7-12% of all pediatric cancer and are a heterogeneous group of tumors arising in connective tissues embryologically derived from the mesenchyme. For some of these tumors relapse and mortality rates are still significantly high. Therefore, further studies are needed to better understand pathogenetic processes underlying sarcomas to offer new and more effective treatments. Next generation sequencing (NGS) has opened new frontiers for cancer research allowing to identify somatic or constitutional mutations known or yet unknown with the aim to better understand carcinogenesis. The establishment of the genomic profile of the tumor could also help clinicians to personalize patients treatment based on their genetic and molecular alterations.
Janssen Vaccines & Prevention B.V.
The study will evaluate the efficacy of Ad26.COV2.S in the prevention of molecularly confirmed moderate to severe/critical coronavirus disease-2019 (COVID-19), as compared to placebo, in SARS-CoV-2 seronegative adults in the double-blind phase and to describe COVID-19 outcomes, safety, and immunogenicity in the different study cohorts in open-label phase.

This is a phase 3, randomized, observer-blinded, placebo-controlled study to evaluate the efficacy, safety, and immunogenicity of SARS-CoV-2 rS with Matrix-M1 adjuvant in adult participants and adolescent participants. Additionally providing a Booster Dose to fully vaccinated participants. A substudy is to be conducted at selected sites to evaluate the safety and immunogenicity of a fourth dose (second booster) of NVX-CoV2373 in adults and adolescents, previously fully vaccinated and subsequently boosted with a third dose (first booster)
