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.

Covid-19 also primarily affects endothelium that line up the alveoli. The resulting hypoxemia may differ from "typical" Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome (ARDS) due to maldistribution of perfusion related to the ventilation. Thus, pathophysiology of Covid-19 ARDS is different, which requires different interventions than typical ARDS. The investigators will assess whether extravascular lung water index and permeability of the alveolar capillary differs from typical ARDS with transpulmonary thermodilution (TPTD) technique. Extravascular Lung Water Index (EVLWI) and Pulmonary Vascular Permeability Index (PVPI) will be compared.

The objective of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of noninvasive ventilation with helmet in reducing endotracheal intubation rates in comparison with Noninvasive Ventilation (NIV) facemask among patients with Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome (ARDS)
Janssen Vaccines & Prevention B.V.
The purpose of the study is to assess the safety, reactogenicity, and immunogenicity of Ad26.COV2.S at 2 dose levels, administered intramuscularly (IM) as a single-dose or 2-dose schedule, with a single booster vaccination administered in one cohort in healthy adults aged greater than or equal to (>=) 18 to less than or equal to (= 65 years in good health with or without stable underlying conditions. The purpose of the study is also to assess the safety and reactogenicity of Ad26.COV2.S administered as ad hoc booster vaccination in healthy adults aged >= 18 to = 65 years in good health with or without stable underlying conditions.
University of Sao Paulo General Hospital
The objective of MoxiCov is to monitor the oximetry of patients admitted to the Covid nursery to provide a more detailed assistance expecting to reduce the amount of hypoxia in these patients.
Novavax
This is a study to evaluate the efficacy, immune response, and safety of a coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) vaccine called SARS-CoV-2 rS with Matrix-M1 adjuvant in adults aged 18-84 years in the United Kingdom. A vaccine causes the body to have an immune response that may help prevent the infection or reduce the severity of symptoms. An adjuvant is something that can make a vaccine work better. This study will look at the protective effect, body's immune response, and safety of SARS-CoV-2 rS with Matrix-M1 adjuvant in the study population. Participants in the study will randomly be assigned to receive SARS-CoV-2 rS with Matrix-M1 adjuvant or placebo. Each participant in the study will receive a total of 2 intramuscular injections over the course of the study. Approximately 15,000 participants will take part in the study. The first approximately 400 participants who meet additional criteria will receive a flu vaccine, in addition to the SARS-CoV-2 rS vaccine or placebo, as part of a sub-study. An effort will be made to enroll a target of at least 25% of participants who are ≥ 65 years of age, as well as prioritizing other groups that are most affected by COVID-19, including racial and ethnic minorities. Unblinding of treatment assignment may occur in order to allow a participant to make an informed decision regarding receipt of an already approved or deployed SARS-CoV-2 vaccine. Participants who choose to receive an approved or deployed SARS-CoV-2 vaccine as per UK government guidance will be encouraged to remain in the study for scheduled safety assessments.
National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID)
This is a platform trial to conduct a series of randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trials using common assessments and endpoints in hospitalized adults diagnosed with Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19). Big Effect Trial (BET) is a proof-of-concept study with the intent of identifying promising treatments to enter a more definitive study. The study will be conducted in up to 70 domestic sites and 5 international sites. The study will compare different investigational therapeutic agents to a common control arm and determine which have relatively large effects. In order to maintain the double blind, each intervention will have a matched placebo. However, the control arm will be shared between interventions and may include participants receiving the matched placebo for a different intervention. The goal is not to determine clear statistical significance for an intervention, but rather to determine which products have clinical data suggestive of efficacy and should be moved quickly into larger studies. Estimates produced from BET will provide an improved basis for designing the larger trial, in terms of sample size and endpoint selection. Products with little indication of efficacy will be dropped on the basis of interim evaluations. In addition, some interventions may be discontinued on the basis of interim futility or efficacy analyses. One or more interventions may be started at any time. The number of interventions enrolling are programmatic decisions and will be based on the number of sites and the pace of enrollment. At the time of enrollment, subjects will be randomized to receive any one of the active arms they are eligible for or placebo. Approximately 200 (100 treatment and 100 shared placebo) subjects will be assigned to each arm entering the platform and a given site will generally have no more than 3 interventions at once. The BET-B stage will evaluate the combination of remdesivir with lenzilumab vs remdesivir with a lenzilumab placebo. The primary objective is to evaluate the clinical efficacy of different investigational therapeutics relative to the control arm in adults hospitalized with COVID-19 according to clinical status (8-point ordinal scale) at Day 8.

The clinical guidance for 90 percent of infected COVID-19 adult patients who do not meet eligibility for inpatient admission is to self-isolate. To support these patients, alternatives to in-person care are needed to manage an unpredictable clinical course; identify and intercept patients rapidly deteriorating at home, prevent viral spread during in-person visits; and minimize future surges in emergency departments (EDs). In addition, fingertip pulse oximeters have been proposed to improve in-home early detection of respiratory deteriorations but are untested and the operational infrastructure to support large-scale monitoring is limited. While telemedicine has been widely adopted during the pandemic as an alternative to conventional outpatient care, limited telemedicine access may be exacerbating observed disparities for Black and Latino patients. In our health system, Black and Latino patients used video-visits 15 percent less often than white patients. Text messaging and phone calls may improve healthcare access for communities of color, but the evidence for these telecommunication modalities to be effective and improve equity are limited. The University of Pennsylvania Health System (UPHS) developed and deployed COVID Watch to improve access to health care for COVID-19 patients who are self-isolating at home. COVID Watch sends twice-daily, scheduled text messages to assess patients for shortness of breath using a clinical algorithm to determine whether patients need an urgent escalation to a team of dedicated, on-call nurses within one hour. These nurses are supported by an on-call team of clinicians who can conduct urgent phone or video assessments. Patients can also trigger the algorithmic assessment independent of the scheduled messages. As of May 21, 2020, COVID Watch has managed 3,628 COVID-19 patients at home, of which 1,295 are confirmed COVID-19 positive; of these, 61 percent are Black or Latino, higher than the proportion of all UPHS COVID-19 positive patients that are Black or Latino (55 percent).
