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 study is a prospective clinical cohort study of consecutive patients hospitalized at all hospitals of greater Copenhagen with a laboratory confirmed diagnosis of COVID-19. The investigators aim to examine if continuous ECG monitoring can be used to understand the contribution of COVID-19 infection in the acute phase to the development of cardiac arrhythmias, especially focusing on cardiovascular outcomes. In all patients included, the investigators aim to examine if continuous ECG monitoring - alone and in combination with biomarkers - can be used to detect early signs of cardiac complications and predict long-term risk of cardiovascular morbidity and mortality following COVID-19 infection.

No specific therapeutic agents or vaccines for COVID-19 are available. Several therapies, are under investigation, but the antiviral efficacy of these drugs is not yet known. The use of convalescent plasma was recommended as an empirical treatment during outbreaks of Ebola virus in 2014, and a protocol for treatment of Middle East respiratory syndrome coronavirus with convalescent plasma was established in 2015. Accordingly, we hypothesized that use of convalescent plasma transfusion could be beneficial in patients infected with SARS-CoV-2. This is a multicenter prospective randomized clinical trial to evaluate safety and efficacy of early use of convalescent plasma in patients with SARS-CoV2 pneumonia. Primary endpoint will be the efficacy, evaluated as the need of invasive mechanical ventilation defined by PaO2/FiO2 ratio

The host response against the coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) appears to be mediated by a 'cytoquine storm' developing a systemic inflammatory mechanism and an acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), in the form of a bilateral pneumonitis, requiring invasive mechanical ventilation (IMV) in an important group of patients. In terms of preventing progression to the critical phase with the consequent need of admission to the intensive care units (ICU), it has been recently proposed that this inflammatory cytoquine-mediated process can be safely treated by a single course of ultra-low radiotherapy (RT) dose < 1 Gy. The main purpose of the study was to analyze the efficacy of ultra low-dose pulmonary RT, as an anti-inflammatory intention in patients with SARS-Cov-2 pneumonia with a poor or no response to standard medical treatment and without IMV.

This study aims to use the regenerative and repair abilities of stem cells to fight against the harmful effects of the novel coronavirus Covid-19 and therefore develop a treatment strategy. It is known that fatalities from this virus is largely caused by its damage to lungs and other organs. As the disease progresses, these organs fail and lead to mortality. Our hope is that the stem cell transplantation from healthy donors will repair the damage caused by the virus and result in a healthy recovery.

Infection with the SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus (COVID-19) has recently been identified as a pandemic due to the speed and global scale of its transmission. In Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region (AURA), the epidemic began in February 2020 and the number of infected people is still important. Between 15 and 20% of COVID-19 patients develop an acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) leading to their hospitalization in intensive care. Their clinical progression can be rapidly harmful with the development of severe ARDS associated with an increased risk of death. Preliminary data on the immune response of COVID-19 patients describe the induction of a moderate inflammatory response and the occurrence of major progressive lymphopenia over time associated with potential immunosuppression. Up to 50% of secondary infections are reported in deceased COVID-19 patients. However, no prospective study has exhaustively described the kinetics of the immune response of COVID-19 patients in intensive care. The precise description of the immune response over time in adult patients with a proven infection with the SARS-CoV-2 virus and the study of the relation between this response and the increased risk of organ failure (severe ARDS), death or nosocomial infection will allow us to better understand the pathophysiology of the immune response induced by COVID-19 in order to (i) identify new therapeutic strategies targeting the host response in patients in intensive care (ii) to develop biological markers to stratify patients for future clinical trials evaluating these immunoadjuvant treatments in COVID-19.

The COVID-19 outbreak requires a rapid re-shaping of the entire organization of the rehabilitation services. This includes the design and planning of appropriate rehabilitation settings, intervention and logistics for organizing space for patients. The aims of this study are: (a) to evaluate the feasibility of the bedside use of a novel rehabilitation device for upper limb in patients with stroke; (b) to evaluate the motor and cognitive outcomes of the treatment; (c) to validate the instrumental outcomes provided by the device.
Lowell General Hospital
The aim of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of MLS laser therapy as a treatment for pulmonary complications due to COVID-19 infection.
National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID)
This study aims to address the following objectives: 1. To determine the efficacy of IC14, an anti-CD14 chimeric monoclonal antibody, in patients hospitalized with respiratory disease and hypoxemia due to SARS-CoV-2, in terms of improving the time to resolution of disease. 2. To determine the efficacy of IC14 in reducing the severity of respiratory disease in patients hospitalized with respiratory disease due to SARS-CoV-2. 3. To determine the safety of IC14 in patients hospitalized with respiratory disease due to SARS-CoV-2.

The clinical trial aims to study the safety and efficacy of transfusion of COVID-19 convalescent hyperimmune plasma for the treatment of moderate and severe forms of COVID-19 disease in comparison with non-convalescent fresh frozen plasma (standard plasma).
CytoSorbents Europe GmbH
The CTC Registry collects patient-level clinical data on CytoSorb hemoadsorption provided to COVID-19 ICU patients via integration of the CytoSorb device into ECMO, CRRT, or hemoperfusion extracorporeal circuits. The intent of the registry is to gain understanding on how CytoSorb hemoadsorption provides clinical benefit to COVID-19 ICU patients.
