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 first person-to-person Coronavirus disease (COVID-19) transmission in Italy was reported on Feb 21st, 2020, causing one of the most massive outbreak in Europe so far that stopped immediately all elective surgical procedures. Bariatric surgery represents the most effective treatment to obtain an important, long-term weight loss and comorbidities' resolution, including respiratory disorders. A sensitive decrease of epidemic has been observed lately and a gradual and progressive stop of the lockdown (phase 2-3) was planned, when the virus is supposed to be under control and protocols are guiding the restart of the elective bariatric surgery. Several questions are currently open: Laparoscopic bariatric surgery is safe in the phase 2-3? What's the expected complications rate? The actual hospital protocols are effective to minimize the risk of postoperative COVID-19 infection? Aim: to analyse results of bariatric surgery during phase 2-3 COVID-19 pandemic in Italy. Primary end point: 30 days COVID-19 infection, mortality and complications. Secondary end points: readmission rate 30 days, reoperations for any reason related to surgery. Study design: prospective multicenter observational. Setting: Italian National Health Service 8 high-volume bariatric centres. Enrollment criteria: No previous Covid-19 infection; Primary, standard IFSO approved bariatric procedures; No concomitant procedure; No previous major abdominal surgery; >18

The purpose of the study is to assess seroprevalence of COVID-19 infection in a cohort of HIV + patients and in a cohort of patients taking PrEP by emtricitabine / tenofovir.

Recent studies have shown that some individuals may be asymptomatic but continue to shed the COVID-19 virus. These individuals may represent a population that can unknowingly transmit the virus. Healthcare workers (HCW) may acquire COVID-19 from the community or from possibly infected patients. It is important to gather data with respect to this to further understand the prevalence of asymptomatic carriage in individuals who work in research facilities, offices and clinical areas of hospitals and research facilities/institutes since this has important implications for infection control, as well as staff and patient safety. The purpose of this study is to test whether a proportion of these individuals may be asymptomatic shedders of the COVID-19 virus.

This study is an adaptive, randomized, open-label, controlled clinical trial, performed worldwide in collaboration with WHO and INSERM.

The analysis method described in this protocol is a novel simple plausible immunological approach which is non-invasive, high throughput, real-time quantitative monitoring of metabolic activity (MA) profiles of fresh Peripheral Blood Mononuclear Cells (PBMC) in response to various reagents at different concentrations. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the T cells reactivity to SARS COV 2 immunogenic selected peptides by Metabolic Activity Method in convalesce and healthy individuals and to compare it with Antibody response (ELISA) and clinical information

A Phase I/II clinical trial for safety and efficacy evaluation of treatment with anti-SARS-CoV-2 equine immunoglobulin (F(ab')2) in hospitalized patients with COVID-19 not requiring of invasive ventilation support.

Rehabilitation interventions can help to address the consequences of COVID-19, which include medical, physical, cognitive, and psychological related problems. The specific aims of this project are to investigate the effects of a 12-week exercise program on pulmonary fibrosis in recovering COVID-19 patients. A further aim will be to examine how Chinese herbal medicines, gut microbiome, and metabolites regulate immune function and possibly autoimmune deficiency in the rehabilitation process.

The objective of this compassionate use study is to provide access and evaluate the outcome of Remdesivir and COVID-19 convalescent plasma use in patients with COVID-19. This protocol provides a coordinated approach for distribution and guidance for safe and effective administration of Remdesivir and convalescent plasma with antibodies against SARS CoV-2 for treatment of patients with COVID-19 infection who are most likely to benefit from this investigational treatment and monitor them for the following specific objectives and outcomes: SPECIFIC OBJECTIVES 1. Provide access to convalescent plasma for hospitalized patients with severe COVID-19 infection (compassionate use, expanded access program) 2. Monitor safety of the therapy with convalescent plasma containing antibodies against SAR CoV-2 and Remdesivir for hospitalized patients with severe COVID-19 infection 3. Evaluate outcomes in patients who received convalescent COVID-19 plasma therapy alone, Remdesivir alone, and both agents. Study Design: This study will be a prospective, observational clinical study with an intention-to-treat, cross-over design. Comparison groups will be patients who received convalescent plasma vs. those who received Remdesivir. In addition, cross-over to convalescent plasma arm will be allowed for patients who continued to get worse even after receiving Remdesivir for more than 48 hours.

Some patients with COVID have abnormally high carbon dioxide and low oxygen levels despite being on the ventilator. The hypothesis of the study is that the application of mild hypothermia to patients with COVID will decrease their metabolic rate and improve their oxygenation and carbon dioxide levels.
Brain & Spine Institute (ICM)
Patients with neurological or psychiatric symptoms or pre-existing disease will be sampled (blood for serum and DNA or saliva for DNA) at inclusion and at M6 (blood) and M12 (blood) depending on their pathology. Sampling will be done either at hospital if patient is on site for routine care or at home if no consultation is scheduled at hospital.
