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.

COVID/Homeless is a prospective observational cohort study of homeless people to determine the impact of the SARS-CoV-2 epidemic on this population. The cohort aims for exhaustiveness for the city of Marseille, being based on the active files of the partner teams, namely the four emergency shelters of Marseille and 12 outreach teams (including one specialized in psychiatry, three specialized in addictions, and three working in squats and shantytowns). Aims of this cohort include to identify of the prognostic factors of morbi-mortality of homeless people by COVID-19, and therefore to propose appropriate management strategies.

Ycovid-19 aims to be a rapid diagnostic test for SARS-CoV-2 infection, which will allow a reliable diagnosis to be made in 10 minutes, and on easy-to-use devices. This test will be developed using innovative technology developed at the Parc Taulí University Hospital, which increases the immunogenicity of SARS-CoV-2 differential antigens. The increased immunogenicity of these antigens will allow to detect, with a high sensitivity and specificity, the antibodies in the serum of patients infected with SARS-CoV-2. This test will serve to confirm dubious results as well as reduce false negatives from the PCR test, which will ultimately help reduce transmission of the infection.

On Dec 31, 2019, a number of viral pneumonia cases were reported in China. The virus causing pneumonia was then identified as a new coronavirus called SARS-CoV-2. Since this time, the infection called coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) has spread around the world, causing huge stress for health care systems. To diagnose this infection, throat and nose swabs are taken. Unfortunately, the results often take more than 24 hrs to return from a laboratory. Speeding diagnosis up would be of great help. This study aims to look at the breath to find signs that might allow clinicians to diagnose the coronavirus infection at the bedside, without needing to send samples to the laboratory. To do this, the team will be using a machine called a BreathSpec which has been adapted to fit in the hospital for this purpose.

The Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infects host-cells via ACE2-receptors, which leads to pneumonia (COVID-19) but also can lead to myocarditis (acute myocardial injury) and chronic damage to the cardiovascular system. Therefore, cardiovascular protection may be necessary when treating patients with COVID-19 infection. This may especially be necessary in patients with cardiovascular diseases, risk factors, and co-medication.

Minimal risk research study: 1. Comparing polyester nasal swabs and foam nasal swabs to detect SARS-CoV-2 virus; 2. Quantifying the development and trajectory of the disease through clinic visits and blood values.

Evaluate the efficacy of treatment with high-titer Anti- SARS-CoV-2 plasma versus control (SARS-CoV-2 non-immune plasma) in subjects exposed to Coronavirus disease (COVID-19) at day 28.

Growing evidences are showing the usefulness of lung ultrasound in patients with COVID-19. Sars-CoV-2 has now spread in almost every country in the world. In this study, the investigators share their experience and propose a standardized approach in order to optimize the use of lung ultrasound in covid-19 patients. The investigators focus on equipment, procedure, classification and data-sharing.

Acute lung injury represents the most severe form of the viral infection sustained by coronavirus disease 2019 (Covid-19) also named as SARS-CoV-2, a new virus emerged in December 2019 in Wuhan (China). The diagnosis is clinical and patients develop flu-like syndrome with fever and cough; patients with clinical symptoms can perform a swab test, including molecular and/or antigen swab, for diagnosis of positivity to Covid-19. Even if diagnosis and treatment are well described, to date, this viral pandemic infection induces an increased mortality in the world. The aim of the present project is to evaluate specific biomarkers that could be used for patient stratification and for tailor therapy in COVID-19 infected patients.

Administration of convalescent plasma obtained from donors with prior documented SARS-CoV-2 infection
University of Pennsylvania
The purpose of this study is to see if this plasma can be safely used in humans with COVID-19 and to see if it improves patients' health as compared to not using it in patients with pneumonia caused by SARS-CoV-2.
