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.

Through its anti-inflammatory role, molecular hydrogen could have a beneficial effect in preventing the runaway inflammatory reactions that lead to complications of Covid-19. This hypothesis is supported by numerous preclinical and theoretical arguments, as well as by some Chinese clinical studies (the Chinese guidelines for the management of Covid-19 recommend the inhalation of hydrogen), a recommendation whose interest has just been confirmed by a publication describing the very positive results of a clinical study in China. Through its anti-inflammatory role, molecular hydrogen could have a beneficial effect in preventing the runaway inflammatory reactions that lead to complications of Covid-19. The ingestion of water saturated with molecular hydrogen has been the subject of several clinical studies in other indications than Covid-19, and no side effects of this ingestion have been reported. A recent publication recommends initiating clinical trials using a hydrogen fortified beverage.

This study will collect information on immune response and adverse events after vaccination against coronavirus disease (COVID-19) in a vulnerable patient cohort. Understanding the ability or disability to mount a protective immune response after vaccination will help to counsel patients during the pandemic and support decisions on whom to vaccinate and to identify patients who require other measures to protect them from COVID-19.
Technological Innovations for Detection and Diagnosis Laboratory
In order to control the COVID-19 pandemic, a policy for the diagnosis and screening of people likely to be infected with SARS-CoV-2 has been established The reference diagnostic test is RT-PCR on nasopharyngeal swab. Nasopharyngeal swabbing requires training, generates a risk of aerosolization and therefore viral transmission to the operator, and is unpleasant or even painful for the patient. RT-PCR is efficient, but time-consuming. It is therefore necessary to consider techniques that are less subject to difficulties of production and sampling, and less time-consuming. Tandem mass spectrometry on saliva samples is a promising option. A combined "mass spectrometry/saliva test" should provide faster results.
ImmunityBio, Inc.
This is a phase 1b, open-label study in adult healthy participants. This clinical trial is designed to assess the safety, reactogenicity, and immunogenicity of the hAd5-S-Fusion+N-ETSD vaccine and select a dose for future studies.
University Hospital, Rouen
At present, the offer of tests for the serological diagnosis of CoVID-19 (detection of IgG, IgM or IgA antibodies against CoV-2 SARS) is plethoric and is based on the use of a very large number of rapid diagnostic unit tests, a few dedicated high throughput automated systems or reagents on existing open systems. The offer will continue to expand in the coming months. In order to meet the objectives mentioned by the Prime Minister, and confirmed in the HAS report of April 16, 2020 and in the opinion n°6 of the COVID-19 scientific council concerning the potential use of these serological tests at the end of the COVID-19 epidemic, the Virology laboratory wishes to validate the sensitivity and specificity of the tests it intends to use.
University of Michigan
To better understand the role of inflammation in COVID-19, we established the Michigan Medicine COVID-19 Cohort (M2C2). M2C2 is a funded and ongoing cohort which has currently enrolled over 1500 adult patients (≥18 years) with severe COVID-19 admitted at the University of Michigan. The purpose of M2C2 is to define the in-hospital course of these patients and understand the role of inflammation as a determinant of organ injury and outcomes in COVID-19.

A multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial for hospitalized moderate COVID-19 patients
Haukeland University Hospital
The ongoing Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has been intensified by no population-based immunity to the severe acute respiratory disease coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV2) and initially lack of effective treatments or vaccines available to mitigate the pandemic. Currently, two COVID-19 vaccines are available for vaccination in Europe through conditional marketing authorisation granted by the European Medicines Agency and further vaccine will be licensed. These vaccines have shown good vaccine efficacy in phase 3 vaccine trials. We will recruit subjects who will be prioritised for vaccination with the primary aim of comparing the immune responses after COVID-19 vaccination and natural SARS-CoV-2 infection. In Western Norway we have recruited cohorts of health care workers and patients infected with SARS-CoV-2 and will extend to COVID-19 vaccinees. Demographic, clinical data and repeated blood samples will be collected to evaluate the complications and kinetics, duration and breadth of the immune responses comparing natural infection to vaccination.

The objective of the COVID-19 Vaccines International Pregnancy Exposure Registry (C-VIPER) is to evaluate obstetric, neonatal, and infant outcomes among women vaccinated during pregnancy with a COVID-19 vaccine. Specifically, the C-VIPER will estimate the risk of obstetric outcomes (spontaneous abortion, antenatal bleeding, gestational diabetes, gestational hypertension, intrauterine growth restriction, postpartum hemorrhage, fetal distress, uterine rupture, placenta previa, chorioamnionitis, Caesarean delivery, COVID-19), neonatal outcomes (major congenital malformations, low birth weight, neonatal death, neonatal encephalopathy, neonatal infections, neonatal acute kidney injury, preterm birth, respiratory distress in the newborn, small for gestational age, stillbirth, COVID-19), and infant outcomes (developmental milestones [motor, cognitive, language, social-emotional, and mental health skills], height, weight, failure to thrive, medical conditions during the first 12 months of life, COVID-19) among pregnant women exposed to single (homologous) or mixed (heterologous) COVID-19 vaccine brand series from 30 days prior to the first day of the last menstrual period to end of pregnancy and their offspring relative to a matched reference group who received no COVID-19 vaccines during pregnancy.

COVID-19 is associated with increased mortality, and has been linked to a 'cytokine inflammatory storm'. Populations at higher risk of COVID complications and mortality include the elderly, diabetic patients and immunocompromised patients (such as HIV), and the investigators have studied these 3 populations over the past 20 years and have found that they all have deficiency of the endogenous antioxidant protein glutathione (GSH), elevated oxidative stress, inflammation, impaired mitochondrial function, immune dysfunction, and endothelial dysfunction. It is known and established that GSH adequacy is necessary for neutralizing harmful oxidative stress, and that elevated oxidative stress appears to promote mitochondrial dysfunction. The combination of oxidative stress and mitochondrial dysfunction have also been linked to inflammation, immune dysfunction, and endothelial dysfunction. In prior studies in aging, the investigators have also identified that supplementing glutathione precursor amino-acids glycine and cysteine (provided as N-acetylcysteine) improves GSH deficiency and mitochondrial function, and lowers oxidative stress, inflammation, and endothelial dysfunction. The investigators have coined the term GlyNAC to refer to the combination of glycine and N-acetylcysteine. This study will evaluate the prevalence and extent of these defects in patients with COVID-19 admitted to the hospital, and the response to supplementing GlyNAC or placebo for 2-weeks. Because patients with COVID-19 are also being reported to have fatigue and cognitive impairment, the investigators will also measure fatigue and cognition at admission, 1-week and 2-weeks after beginning supplementation. The supplementation is stopped after completing 2-weeks, and these outcomes will be measured again after 4-weeks and 8-weeks after stopping supplementation.
