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.

This trial has two parts. Part A and Part B. Due to changes in the overall clinical development plan, Part B will no longer be conducted. The objectives originally described for Part B have been implemented in the ongoing development via a pivotal Phase I/II/III trial BNT162-02/C4591001 (ClinicalTrials.gov NCT: 04368728). Part A is for dose ranging of four different vaccines (BNT162a1, BNT162b1, BNT162b2, and BNT162c2) which will be undertaken with dose escalation and de-escalation plus the evaluation of interim dose levels. It also includes dose ranging in older participants. The vaccines BNT162a1, BNT162b1, BNT162b2, and BNT162c2 will be administered using a Prime/Boost (P/B) regimen. The vaccine BNT162c2 will also be administered using a Single dose (SD) regimen. Three additional cohorts aged from 18 to 85 years receiving BNT162b2 only. BNT162b2 has entered a Phase II/III evaluation of efficacy, with the intent to support an application for marketing authorization. The dosing regimen under investigation is two BNT162b2 doses given ~21 d apart.

Novel coronavirus SARS(Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome)-CoV-2 was first identified during the outbreak in Wuhan, China in December 2019 with the now resulting pandemic. Aggressive supportive care is the mainstay of treatment currently and rescue with lung protective mechanical ventilation is essential for survival in patients with severe acute respiratory distress syndrome. Despite supportive care, mortality is significant in hospitalized patients in the U.S., especially among patients > 65 years of age. Pharmacologic treatments to decrease disease severity are urgently needed. Hydroxychloroquine is currently widely used for treatment of autoimmune disease including systemic lupus erythematosus and rheumatoid arthritis, and it has been used to prevent and treat malaria. In vitro and in vivo antiviral activity towards SARS-CoV-2 has been reported. Since hydroxychloroquine has been used for decades its properties as a drug are well known. The investigators propose a pragmatic trial of hydroxychloroquine in moderately ill hospitalized adults with SARS-CoV-2 pneumonia with the hypothesis that hydroxychloroquine reduces severity of acute lung injury caused by SARS-CoV-2 infection.

We hypothesize that the intake of Omni-Biotic® 10 AAD can reduce intestinal inflammation and improves dysbiosis in Covid-19 disease. We further hypothesize that Omni-Biotic® 10 AAD can reduce the duration of diarrhea, stool frequency, improve stool consistency, improve other gastrointestinal symptoms of Covid-19, reduce disease duration and severity. The investigators aim to perform a randomized, double blind, placebo-controlled study using telemedicine in patients with Covid-19 disease.

As the COVID-19 pandemic spread around the world, anosmia and dysgeusia were quickly recognized as two of the key presenting symptoms. The probability of return of smell is related to severity of smell loss at presentation, but it appears that the loss of sense of smell and taste seems to persist in approximately 10% of the affected patients after 6 months. As a result of COVID-19, it is estimated that within the next 12 months > 150,000 Americans will suffer permanent loss of smell. The magnitude of this impairment on the health, safety, and quality of life is truly unprecedented and makes post-COVID olfactory disorder a major public health problem. Thus, there is a pressing need to identify effective treatments. The research questions are to determine the effects of steroid nasal saline lavage and olfactory training among adults with post-COVID olfactory dysfunction and identify confounders and modifiers of any observed effects. To answer the research question, the investigators propose a 2 x 2 factorial design blinded randomized clinical trial whereby 220 subjects with documented COVID-19 with anosmia/hyposmia of 12 weeks duration or longer from Missouri, Illinois, and Indiana will be recruited electronically from COVID patient advocacy sites, social media sites, and other internet sources. Enrolled subjects will be randomized to nasal saline lavage with topical budesonide or placebo to address the presumed role of inflammation in the olfactory cleft and each subject will also be randomized to olfactory training with patient-specific, high- or low-concentration essential oil scent to assess the role of olfactory training. Data will be analyzed in a blinded fashion to allow estimation of observed effect size for both anti-inflammatory and olfactory training. This innovative study will exploit the unique opportunities presented by COVID-19. The study will use a high-tech virtual "contactless" research strategy, including eConsent and digital mHealth techniques to obtain rapid answers to the research questions. The interventions are low-cost, readily available, and results of this study can be directly disseminated to the care of COVID-19 patients with anosmia.

The outbreak of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), which originated in Wuhan, China, has become a major concern all over the world. Convalescent plasma or immunoglobulins have been used as a last resort to improve the survival rate of patients with SARS whose condition continued to deteriorate despite treatment with pulsed methylprednisolone. Moreover, several studies showed a shorter hospital stay and lower mortality in patients treated with convalescent plasma than those who were not treated with convalescent plasma. Evidence shows that convalescent plasma from patients who have recovered from viral infections can be used effectively as a treatment of patients with active disease. The use of solutions enriched of antiviral antibodies has several important advantages over the convalescent plasma including the high level of neutralizing antibodies supplied. Moreover, plasma-exchange is expensive and requires large volumes of substitution fluid With either albumin or fresh frozen plasma, increasing the risk of cardiovascular instability in the plasma donor and in the recipient, which can be detrimental in a critically ill patient with COVID 19 pneumonia. The use of plasma as a substitution fluid further increases treatment costs and is associated with risk of infections, allergic reactions and citrate-induced hypocalcemia. Albumin is better tolerated and less expensive, but exchanges using albumin solutions increase the risk of bleeding because of progressive coagulation factor depletion. The aforementioned limitations of plasma therapy can be in part overcome by using selective apheresis methods, such as double-filtration plasmapheresis (DFPP)3. During DFPP, plasma is separated from cellular components by a plasma filter, and is then allowed to pass through a fractionator filter. Depending on the membrane cut-off, the fractionator filter retains larger molecules and returns fluid along with smaller molecules to the circulation. Thus, the selection of a membrane with an appropriate sieving coefficient for IgG allows to efficiently clear autoantibodies in patients with antibody-mediated diseases (e.g., macroglobulinemia, myasthenia gravis and rheumatoid arthritis) with negligible fluid losses and limited removal of albumin and coagulation factors1. In patients with severe membranous nephropathy and high titer of autoreactive, nephritogenic antibodies against the podocyte-expressed M type phospholipase A2 receptor (PLA2R), DFPP accelerated anti PLA2R depletion4. Measurement of the antibody titer in treated patient and recovered fluid showed that antibody removal was extremely effective and that large part of antibodies was removed during the first DFPP procedure. This therapeutic regimen was safe and well tolerated and easy to apply4. In an ongoing pilot study we found that the same methodological approach can be used to remove circulating antibodies from patients who recovered from COVID 19 and to infuse these antibodies in patients with active viral infection. Treatment was well tolerated and preliminary findings are encouraging. Thus, in this novel pilot study we aim to explore whether the infusion of antibodies obtained with one single DFPP procedure from voluntary convalescent donors could offer an effective and safe therapeutic option for patients with earlier stages of coronavirus (COVID-19) pneumonia requiring oxygen supply without mechanical ventilation.

The study hypothesis is that low-dose computed tomography (LDCT) coupled with artificial intelligence by deep learning would generate imaging biomarkers linked to the patient's short- and medium-term prognosis. The purpose of this study is to rapidly make available an early decision-making tool (from the first hospital consultation of the patient with symptoms related to SARS-CoV-2) based on the integration of several biomarkers (clinical, biological, imaging by thoracic scanner) allowing both personalized medicine and better anticipation of the patient's evolution in terms of care organization.

France and in particular the paris area was one of the countries most affected by the pandemic Covid19. School closures and a generalized lockdown of the population were instituted in France from 17 March 2020 to 10 May 2020. Schools and nurseries have reopened partially since 11 May 2020. From 2 June, this reopening is more widespread. By combining the search for SARS-Cov2 viruses by PCR and micro-method serology we will be able to evaluate both the infection at a given time and also older contact with SARS-CoV2. The temporal knowledge of the prevalence of SARS-Cov2 carriage and the serological status (IgM and IgG) after return to the community are crucial information to evaluate the speed of spread of the virus in children. This is the objective of COVILLE2, phase 2 of the COVILLE study.
