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.

Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), a viral respiratory illness caused by the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), has been shown to predispose patients to thrombotic diseases (venous and arterial) with reported rates in hospitalized patients between 17-40%. The influence of SARS-CoV-2 infection on the coagulation is hypothesized to be regulated by platelet activation, proinflammatory cytokines, endothelial cell injury and stasis. The elevated levels of d-dimer and fibrinogen and clinical signs of organ damage point to a significant hypercoagulable state. The latter induces a high risk for micro-thrombi and multi-organ ischemia. Therefore, early detection and a comprehensive understanding of the influence of the virus on the coagulation and platelet pathways are essential to address this epidemic. It is critical at this time to make all efforts possible to optimize our available technology to care for COVID-19 patients who are at risk for thrombotic disease through appropriate choice, dosing, and laboratory monitoring of antithrombotic therapy. The investigators hypothesize that COVID-19 is a heightened prothrombotic/hypercoagulability state that can be characterized using platelet function testing and thrombelastography. More information is required to study the effect of COVID-19 on coagulation and platelet pathways to develop effective antithrombotic treatment strategies. This is a multi-center center, non-interventional study enrolling patients who are COVID-19 positive or who have tested negative showing indication of the disease (high D-dimer and positive lung imaging). The study specific laboratory assessments will be obtained at baseline (closest to time of hospitalization), Day 3, and Day 8 from baseline and at hospital discharge. Laboratory measurements for TEG 6S , platelet aggregation, T-TAS, urinary thromboxane, genotyping, serum and plasma biomarkers will be analyzed . In-hospital and clinical follow-up data will be entered into a COVID registry Patients will be followed for clinical events during hospitalization, and up to 6 months after discharge. Patients (n=100) hospitalized with at least one of the following will be enrolled. 1. With a confirmed diagnosis of COVID-19 infection using a positive RT- PCR or a positive IgG antibody test prior to or during hospitalization or 2. With a negative COVID-19 RT-PCR test but with symptoms of possible COVID-19 infection and: 1. an elevated D-dimer and/or 2. positive imaging results showing unilateral or bilateral pneumonia or ground-glass opacity in lungs.

Achieved serum samples of persons with or without evidence of COVID-19 infection are tested using the different commercial SARS-CoV-2 antibody immunoassays. The performance of the immunoassays is then assessed by comparing the 2 groups of samples.
Fundación Cardiovascular de Colombia
Introduction: The SARS-CoV-2 outbreak has left more than two million infected worldwide in the first four months of COVID-19 epidemic. To date, there is no specific treatment for the disease and in critically ill patients there is an additional challenge in controlling the systemic inflammatory response, which is characterized by cytokine storm, alteration in coagulation and endothelial activation in addition to infection. Strategies used in previous viral epidemics, such as convalescent plasma, are therapeutic options to rescue, especially in individuals with a critical presentation of the disease. Aim: To establish clinical response of critically ill patients with COVID-19 who received convalescent plasma from subjects recovered from SARS-CoV-2 during their stay in Intensive Care Unit at Fundación Cardiovascular de Colombia (Hospital Internacional de Colombia). Methodology: Quasi-experimental study (no randomization will be performed). Adult patients who meet selection criteria will receive 500 ml of ABO compatible convalescent plasma, obtained by apheresis from patients recovered from SARS-CoV-2 infection. The main outcome will be in-hospital mortality at 30 days, while indication for ventilatory support (intubation) and adverse events at thirty days will be evaluated as secondary outcomes, compared to subjects receiving usual treatment for clinical sign and symptoms given the absence of ABO compatible plasma units. A survival analysis will be performed using Kaplan-Meier method and association strength will be reported using HR and 95% CI crude and adjusted for confounding variables. Expected results: It is expected to know the clinical and paraclinical response of patients receiving convalescent plasma in our institution, as well as to establish their probability of survival and its associated factors.

Agence de La Biomédecine
During the COVID-19 pandemic, the French Agency of Biomedicine has recommended maintaining fertility preservation for patients requiring immediate oncological treatments exhibiting gonadotoxic effects. However, no study has examined the presence of SARS-CoV-2 in sperm from cancer patients. This study aims therefore to detect the presence of SARS-CoV-2, specifically in the seminal fluid and the spermatozoa fractions of cancer patient semen. The investigators will determine if the virus presence in sperm is associated with its presence in the nasal swabs, COVID symptoms, specific serological profiles and particular oncological pathologies/treatments.

As of 27th May 2020, approximately 5.7 million people worldwide are known to have been infected with COVID-19 coronavirus and more than 350,000 have died (1). The severity of this viral disease for an individual is associated with a widespread perturbation of immune, physiological and metabolic parameters (2, 3). These whole body changes could be considered characteristic of a systemic inflammatory response to tissue injury and it has been long recognised that a large and ongoing systemic inflammatory response is associated with the development of multiple organ failure and infective disease (4, 5). One of the cardinal signs of severe COVID-19 infection is a marked systemic inflammatory response (2). This response bears striking similarity to the systemic inflammatory response experienced by patients undergoing major elective surgical resections for cancer (6, 7). Indeed, the systemic inflammatory response and the associated metabolic stress has been most well characterised in major elective surgery, where the relationship between the magnitude of the post-operative systemic inflammatory response and the development of post-operative complications is now well recognised, as is the effect of patient comorbidity on this relationship (8, 9). Such work has informed therapeutic manoeuvres including minimally invasive surgery, pre-operative optimisation (e.g. anaesthesia, nutrition and steroids) and enhanced recovery protocols. The aim of the present study was to examine whether routinely collected clinicopathological characteristics of patients with COVID-19 on admission were informative on the immune and metabolic stress experienced by patients with COVID-19 and whether such characteristics were informative on subsequent outcome.
