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 COVID-19 pneumonia has grown to be a global public health emergency since patients were first detected in Wuhan, China, in December 2019, which spread quickly to worldwide and presented a serious threat to public health. It is mainly characterized by fever, dry cough, shortness of breath and breathing difficulties. Some patients may develop into rapid and deadly respiratory system injury with overwhelming inflammation in the lung. Currently, no specific drugs or vaccines are available to cure the patients with COVID-19 pneumonia. Hence, there is a large unmet need for a safe and effective treatment for COVID-19 pneumonia patients, especially the critically ill cases. The significant clinical outcome and well tolerance was observed by the adoptive transfer of allogenic MSCs. We proposed that the adoptive transfer therapy of MSCs might be an ideal choice to be used. We expect to provide new options for the treatment of critically ill COVID-19 pneumonia patients and contribute to improving the quality of life of critically ill patients.
Assiut University
The World Health Organization (WHO) has recently declared coronavirus disease 2019 (Covid-19) a public health emergency of international concern. Egypt is one of the countries that has been infected by Covid-19. The characteristics of clinical presentation, laboratory and radiological data are not yet studied. Outcomes of covid-19 in Egypt also have not been described yet.
Guang'anmen Hospital of China Academy of Chinese Medical Sciences
This trial is designed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of moxibustion plus cupping in the convalescence of COVID-19.
National Institute of Cardiology, Warsaw, Poland
Hospitalized patients with COVID-19 will be included in the study in centers around Poland. After the hospitalization, a short questionnaire will be completed, including pre-hospitalization diagnoses, pre-hospitalization medications, clinical status on admission, the course, complication and the duration of hospitalization. The questionnaire will be available in paper form and on-line.

Quarantine is an unpleasant experience : separation from loved ones, loss of freedom, uncertainty about infection status, boredom. It may lead to negative mental health consequences and thus the emergence of anxiety and depressive symptoms. From March 17th, 2020 to May 11th 2002, the French government has implemented national containment measures due to the Covid-19 epidemic. Although there are data on the psychological impact and experience of quarantine measures in people who have been infected or suspected of being carriers of certain pathogens (e.g. Ebola), there are no data on such impact in the French population and quarantines lasting longer than 21 days. Investigators therefore propose to conduct a human and social sciences study in order to better understand the current situation

Facing the unusual situation imposed by the coronavirus disease, the aim of this study is to evaluate the risk and effects of less frequent hemodialysis on prevalent patients
Kantonsspital Winterthur KSW
This study aims to observe the long-term health-related quality of life (HRQOL) and physical performance in individuals hospitalized due to a COVID-19 infection. Therefore, data is extracted from a study-site standard aftercare program which has been adjusted for this patient population. This comprehensive aftercare program includes education sessions and physical exercise. A second aim is to observe adherence and feasibility to the program and if indicated compare the clinical data and outcomes from patients following the program with patients denying to participate in guided exercise and education sessions. It is expected that patients hospitalized due to COVID-19 infection show a reduction in physical performance and HRQOL directly after discharge. The severity of illness is hypothesized to be associated with a reduction as well in HRQOL and physical performance after one-year post-discharge.
Chinese University of Hong Kong
This study aims to investigate the quality of life of COVID-19 patients after recovery and discharge from the hospital. Patients following-up at the PWH outpatient clinics will be enrolled for further evaluation via telephone follow-up at one, three, and six months after hospital discharge. SF12, EQ-5D-5L and work status standardized quantitative assessments of quality of life will be implemented via telephone follow-up at these time-points. Previous studies of patients infected with SARS-CoV-1 in 2003 at PWH showed that significant numbers of recovering patients had impaired long-term health status. It is important to see if these same problems also afflict patients infected with the SARS-CoV-2 virus (the novel coronavirus which causes COVID-19).
West Virginia University
This is a prospective study, involving contacting potential plasma donors and the use of their plasma to help fight off infections of those suffering from COVID19 in accordance to collection guidelines for plasma and FDA IND requirement. This study will include up to 240 participants potentially receiving convalescent plasma and up to 1000 potential donors. There are 3 basic arms to the study: mild, moderate and severe/critical severity. All 3 severity groups are eligible for enrollment, but mild severity will not be given plasma unless there is progression. Moderate severity will given up to 1 unit of plasma and severe/critical severity up to 2 units. There is no placebo group, however given the excepted issues of shortages of plasma, intention to treat will be used for analysis.
University Hospital, Montpellier
Use lay language. The Covid-19 pandemic hit France in March 2020 and stage 3 of the epidemic justified the introduction of national and unprecedented containment measures from March 17, 2020. The Montpellier CHU experienced peak hospitalizations of Covid-19 infections in late March. The estimate of the proportion of infected people in Occitania, South of France, for the 11th of May 2020 is 3.1% (95% CI: 1.9-5.9) for the Occitania region, to which Montpellier belongs. In the context of the Covid-19 epidemic, notably due to the absence of pharmacological or vaccine prophylaxis, barrier measures were of crucial importance, especially for exposed caregivers. These measures include an adaptation of individual behavior, the creation of a so-called "Covid" hospital, the wearing of specific equipment in all departments, the use in the rooms of Covid-19 patients of a gown, an apron, gloves, and a FFP2 type mask in the event of contact and sampling, protocolized and standardized bio-cleaning measures, a reorganization of the premises and the definition of specific circuits. In view of the second wave of the epidemic, estimating the effectiveness of the barrier measures is of major importance. The investigators therefore propose an evaluation of the effectiveness of these measures, by comparing the serological prevalence of infection among caregivers working directly in COVID units compared to caregivers working in services excluding the management of Covid-19 patients. Systematic evaluation in COVID-19 units of Sarc-Co-V2 infection will also be assessed, with naso-pharyngeal swabs.
