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.

The SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19) infection is causing a global pandemic and a major health crisis in France. Immunity is the body's ability to defend itself against infectious agents such as viruses. The progressive acquisition by a large part of the population of immunity to defend itself against the COVID-19 virus is one of the main mechanisms by which a resolution of this pandemic is hoped for. Recovery from infection and protection from the virus is likely to depend on the development of antibodies (proteins produced by the body to neutralize infectious agents) and T-cells (a type of white blood cell in the immune system) that can stop the virus from multiplying and killing it. To date, the way and speed at which the T-lymphocytes active against the virus appear are not known. The development of biological tests to detect T-cells active against the virus in the blood of infected patients is therefore necessary. In this context, we propose you to participate in a study that will study the immune system's response against the sars-CoV-2 virus during and after COVID-19 infection.

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.

Since the start of 2020, the new SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus is causing a real global health crisis. In France, nasopharyngeal swabs are used to obtain the sample needed for respiratory infection screening. There are three major difficulties with this type of sampling: I) It is really unpleasant for the patient because the device has to be pushed into the nostril to reach the nasopharynx. It causes some patients to bleed or even feel uncomfortable. II) It is not easily accepted by children. III) It is dependent on the availability of swabs. Faced with these difficulties linked to the initial sampling, new methods are being studied to enable a rapid and non-invasive diagnosis of COVID-19 based on the instantaneous identification of metabolites or volatile organic compounds (VOCs). Due to their sensitivity and the wealth of information that can be provided, the most promising techniques are based on mass spectrometry coupled with a soft ionisation system. For example, on-line exhaled air analysis is capable of detecting a very large number of VOCs. Various tests on metabolites in the exhaled air have already been carried out without being totally conclusive because the existing instruments suffer from various limitations: I) poor repeatability/accuracy in the chemical characterisation of exhaled air ; II) too high specificity (detection of only part of the emitted compounds); III) too limited sensitivity; IV) and poor adaptation to be deployed in a clinic. In order to overcome these various limitations, we propose the use of a new generation of mass spectrometer: Vocus PTR-TOF. The Vocus PTR-TOF is a Proton Transfer Mass Spectrometer (PTR-MS) developed for the detection, in real time, of trace VOCs in industrial environments, laboratories or directly in the environment. This new generation of instrument offers the following advantages: I) unequalled sensitivity : II) a robust ionisation system not affected by environmental conditions (relative humidity...) ; III) a high mass resolution allowing precise identification of compounds ; IV) a compact and durable architecture allowing deployment in a constrained environment such as hospital, airport… The sensitivity and speed of measurement allow the expiration process to be monitored in real time, bringing an additional dimension to the measurement and the chances of success.

The recent Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19), has caused a global pandemic, and development of safe, effective vaccines is mandatory to return back to pre pandemic life. Many vaccines have been developed and requested by the authorities after the emergency license issued. The main mechanism of protection is through humoral and cell-mediated immune responses that might reduce the potential for disease development or severity. Cytotoxic T cells clear virus-infected host cells and contribute to control of infection. Preliminary data are now available indicating safty and effecacy of different vaccines . The vaccines were tolerated, with induction of neutralizing antibodies and antigen-specific T cells against the SARS-CoV-2 spike protein. The aim of this work is to evaluate the immune responses in adults, aged 25-65 years, up to 8 weeks after vaccination with a single and double doses live inactivated (Sinopharm), mRNA (Pfizer/ Biontech) and viral vector (Oxford/AZ- ChAdOx1 nCoV-19) vaccines. The Th1- response ( interferon-γ and tumor necrosis factor-α cytokine secretion by CD4+ T cells) and antibody production predominantly of IgG1 and IgG3 subclasses as well as CD8+ T cells mono, polyfunctional and cytotoxic phenotypes, will be also measured.

The purpose of this study is to describe the immunological and virological response of patients infected with CoV-2-SARS and presenting an asymptomatic or mildly symptomatic form, in particular the innate and adaptive response as well as the virological clearance kinetics. The research hypothesis is that patients with an ambulatory form of SARS-CoV-2 infection, whether asymptomatic or mildly symptomatic, are able to mount an innate and adaptive immunological response capable of rapidly clearing the virus, in contrast to severe forms in which an early deficit of type 1 IFN response has been demonstrated, possibly responsible for a defect in the control of viral replication in the blood.

VIDO has developed a vaccine called COVAC-2. The study vaccine contains a portion of the SARS-CoV-2 spike protein, called S1. The spike protein is the part of the virus that is responsible for attaching to the surface of host cells. COVAC-2 contains a SWE adjuvant. An adjuvant is a compound that is added to a vaccine to help the vaccine produce a better immune response. The SWE adjuvant belongs to a family of oil-based adjuvants that have been given to millions of people around the world as part of influenza vaccines. The COVAC-2 vaccine is expected to stimulate the body to make antibodies against the S1 protein. The antibodies will recognize the viral spike protein if the body is exposed to the virus and prevent or reduce the severity of COVID-19 illness. In animal studies, the immune response generated by the COVAC-2 vaccine was able to protect the vaccinated animals against a severe SARS-CoV-2 infection. Phase 1 is a multi-centred trial of the COVAC-2 vaccine to be completed in Canada. It will be a randomized, observer-blinded, and placebo-controlled study to assess the safety and immunogenicity of three dosing levels (25, 50, and 100 µg protein) administered twice (4 weeks apart) in healthy adults 18 through 54 years of age (Phase 1a) and 55 years of age and older (Phase 1b). Enrolment and vaccination of participants will be staggered over time based on participant age and vaccine dose. Approval will be sought from the Data Safety Monitoring Board (DSMB) to proceed with the second dose in each group, to enroll at each dose level, and to enroll in the older age group for each dose level. Within the same age group, the 8 participants receiving the lowest dose are randomized with 4 participants receiving placebo; the 8 participants receiving the medium dose are randomized with 4 participants receiving placebo; and the 8 participants receiving the highest dose are randomized with 4 participants receiving placebo. Within each dose level of 12 participants, it is proposed to immunize a first cohort of 3 participants (including at least 2 active vaccine participants) and pending no holding rule is met after 48 hours, to immunize the remaining 9 participants within that dose level.
