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 new outbreak of the SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus is causing an important pandemic affecting a large number of people all-over the world. Vitamin D is a hormone precursor produced by our own body with the help of sunlight which has an important role on adaptive immunity and cellular differentiation, maturation and proliferation of several immune cells. Reduced levels of vitamin D in calves were positioned as the main cause of bovine coronavirus infection in the past. Therefore, it seems plausible that the use of vitamin D as a nutritional ergogenic aid could be a potential intervention to fight against COVID-19 infected patients which remain asymptomatic or which have non-severe and severe symptoms. This study aims to investigate whether the use of vitamin D as an immune modulator agent induces significant improvements of health status and outcomes in non-severe symptomatic patients infected with COVID-19 as well as preventing COVID-19 health deterioration. We hypothesize that vitamin D will significantly improve hard endpoints related to COVID-19 deleterious consequences compared with a usual care control group.

Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) was recognized as a pandemic on March 11, 2020 by the World Health Organization. The virus that causes COVID-19 (SARS-CoV-2) is easily transmitted through person to person and there is still no specific approach against the disease and mortality rate in severe cases is also significant. Therefore, finding effective treatment for the mortality of these patients is very important. In this study the investigators aim to determine the effect of Convalescent Plasma on COVID-19 patients Outcome through a Clinical Trial

The aim of the study is to clinically use bovine Lf as a safe antiviral adjuvant for treatment and to assess the potential in reducing mortality and morbidity rates in COVID-19 patients. The study was approved by the ethical committee of the Egyptian Center for Research and Regenerative Medicine in 11-5-2020.

The process by which neutrophils expel DNA together with various proteins to the outside, forming a network structure called Neutrophil Extracellular Traps (NETs) constitutes a particular cell death that involves the destruction of the nuclear membrane before the plasmatic one. This process is called NETosis and differs from other known forms of cell death, such as necrosis and apoptosis. This process, however, if exaggerated, brings local or systemic damage. Viruses are known for their ability to evade the body's immune response. Only recently has it been seen that they can act as triggers for NETosis process. In fact, many viruses can stimulate neutrophils to produce NETs. Virus-induced NETs can begin to circulate in an uncontrolled manner, leading to an extreme systemic response of the body with the production of immunocomplexes, cytokines, Interferon I etc. To date, there are no data in the literature on the role of NETs in Covid-19 infection, a viral infection that leads to highly lethal interstitial pneumonia and for which there is currently no vaccine or specific therapy. Advanced forms of Covid-19 are often characterized by hyperinflammation ("cytokine storm") with the development of an ARDS-like condition. Furthermore, reports of micro and macro thrombotic phenomena such as microangiopathy, pulmonary embolism (which has led to a careful evaluation procedure for antithrombotic prophylaxis and/or coagulation in Covid-19 patients) are increasingly frequent. The primary objective of the study is to understand if NETs can be implicated in the response to Covid-19 and by which mechanisms. Concrete therapeutic proposals could derive from the knowledge and enhancement of this form of innate immunity. To do this, it will be necessary to evaluate the activity of NETosis in Covid-19 patients and evaluate whether the clinical course of the disease (worsening vs healing) determines the degree of NETosis activity. Therefore, the association between mortality from Covid-19/survival and NETs activity will be studied. Secondary objectives concern the possibility of studying the associations among NETosis markers and blood inflammation markers and among NETosis markers and the onset of peripheral or deep vein thrombosis. Finally, the possibility that the plasma deriving from Covid-19 patients could trigger the NETosis process in vitro will be evaluated.

Cardiovascular involvement in coronavirus disease-2019 (COVID-19) encompasses a wide range of vascular and myocardial pathologies, including both acute and long-term sequelae. The MIIC-MI study aims to investigate mechanisms of cardiac injury in COVID-19 using multi-modality imaging and immunophenotyping to better understand the link with adverse patient outcomes.
