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.

A two arm open label multi-centered randomized interventional trial is proposed to assess aspects of safety and efficacy of Nuvastatic™ (Serial No: C5OSEW5050ESA) . Two parallel groups of (1:1) ratio comparing Nuvastatic™ versus standard care will be conducted on patients on oxygen saturation (SaO2) of 94% or less while they are breathing ambient air or a ratio of the partial pressure of oxygen (Pao2) to the fraction of inspired oxygen (Fio2) (PaO2:FiO2) at or below 300 mg Hg. Primary Outcome Measures: time to clinical improvement, defined as the time from randomization to an improvement of two points (from the status at randomization) on a seven-category ordinal scale or live discharge from the hospital, whichever comes first. Secondary Outcome Measures: Clinical status as assessed with the seven-category ordinal scale on days 7 and 14, mortality at day 28. 1. The duration of mechanical ventilation. 2. The duration of hospitalization in survivors. 3. The time (in days) from treatment initiation to death. 4. Virologic measures included the proportions with viral RNA detection over time and viral RNA titer area under-curve (auc) measurements.

The purpose of this study is to determine if therapeutic dose anticoagulation (experimental group) improves 30-day mortality in participants with COVID-19 compared to those patients receiving the intermediate dose prophylaxis (control group). Following screening, subjects will be randomized 1:1 to intermediate dose prophylaxis or therapeutic dose anticoagulation treatment arms.Treatment will continue for 28 days, followed by a 6 month follow-up period.
Hoxworth Blood Center
The purpose of this research study is to learn more about the use of viral specific T-lymphocytes (VSTs) when given in the presence of COVID-19 signs and symptoms, caused by the virus SARS-CoV-2. VSTs are cells specially designed to fight viral infections. These cells are created from a blood sample collected from a donor who has recovered from COVID-19 infection. VSTs are investigational meaning that they are not approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). COVID-19 is a new virus and treatment options are evolving rapidly. VSTs have been successfully used to treat many different viral infections and may be beneficial in treating COVID-19 in the absence of other treatments.

According to recent data, death rate is more than 20% for 75 years old hospitalized patients and older. In case of aggravation, according to the latest observations, if they are refused for mechanical ventilation in intensive care, their death rate could reach 60% even for patients without comorbidity. Apart from an increase in oxygen therapy, no specific treatment is currently proposed. The control of the inflammatory component seems to be a key element to be able to influence the patients' health evolution. Polyvalent intravenous immunoglobilins have immunomodulatory and anti-inflammatory properties with a favorable safety profile for these elderly patients and several clinical cases lead to positive impact in the caring for Covid patients. This study objective is evaluation of the efficacy of polyvalent IVIg in combination with the standard management of patients aged 75 and over with SARSCov2 infection with acute respiratory failure (saturation ≤ 95%) requiring oxygen therapy> 5 L / min (i.e. patients considered as moderate to severe ARDS according to the Berlin definition, Pa02 / Fi02≤200) and disqualified from a care in the ICU.

This is a randomized double-blind placebo-controlled Phase II trial of recombinant human deoxyribonuclease I (rhDNase I) - Pulmozyme - in mechanically ventilated patients with COVID-19 pneumonia. Patients admitted to the ICU with severe COVID-19 pneumonia who require mechanical ventilation will be invited to participate in this study. Potential subjects will be identified from medical record review or from direct contact with physicians. Investigators will check medical history and confirm eligibility. Informed consent will be obtained from either the patient or designated healthcare proxy. 60 subjects will be enrolled. After obtaining informed consent, patients will be randomized 2:1 to Pulmozyme 2.5 mg BID for up to 28 days or until they are no longer receiving mechanical ventilation, whichever is sooner plus standard of care vs. placebo normal saline 2.5 ml plus standard of care.

The COVID-19 pandemic has been characterized by high morbidity and mortality, especially in certain subgroups of patients. To date, no treatment has been shown to be effective in controlling this disease in hospitalized patients with moderate and / or severe cases of this disease. Hydroxychloroquine and lopinavir / ritonavir have been shown to inhibit SARS-CoV viral replication in experimental severe acute respiratory symptoms models and have similar activity against SARS-CoV2. Although widely used in studies of critically ill patients, to date, no study has demonstrated its role on the treatment of high-risk, newly diagnosed patients with COVID-19 and mild symptoms.

As of March 18, 2020, COVID-19 cases were reported in approximately 195 countries. No specific therapeutic agents or vaccines for COVID-19 are available. Several therapies, such as remdesivir and favipiravir, are under investigation, but the antiviral efficacy of these drugs is not yet known. The use of convalescent plasma (CP) was recommended as an empirical treatment during outbreaks of Ebola virus in 2014. A protocol for treatment of Middle East respiratory syndrome coronavirus (MERS-CoV) with CP was established in 2015. This approach with other viral infections such as SARS-CoV, H5N1 avian influenza, and H1N1 influenza also suggested that transfusion of CP was effective. In previous reports, most of the patients received the CP by single transfusion. In a study involving patients with pandemic influenza A(H1N1) 2009 virus infection, treatment of severe infection with CP (n = 20 patients) was associated with reduced respiratory tract viral load, serum cytokine response, and mortality. In another study involving 80 patients with SARS, the administration of CP was associated with a higher rate of hospital discharge at day 22 from symptom onset compared with patients who did not receive CP. Accordingly, these findings raise the hypothesis that use of CP transfusion could be beneficial in patients infected with SARS-CoV-2. The objective of this study is to describe the initial clinical experience with CP transfusion administered to severe COVID-19 patients. The primary endpoint of this trial would be to assess the tolerability, efficacy, and dose-response of CP in severe COVID-19 patients. The secondary endpoint would be to assess the clinical and laboratory parameters after therapy, in-hospital mortality, length of hospital stay, reduction in the proportion of deaths, length of ICU stay, requirement of ventilator and duration of ventilator support. All RT-PCR positive cases with features of severe infection will be enrolled in this study. Apheretic CP will be collected from a recovered patient (consecutive two RT-PCR samples negative) between day 22 to 35 days of recovery and those with the antibody titre above 1:320. This RCT will consist of three arms, a. standard care, b. standard care and 200 ml CP and c. standard care and 400 ml CP as a single transfusion. Twenty (20) patients will be enrolled for each arm. Randomization will be done by someone not associated with the care or assessment of the patients by means of a random number table. Allocations will be concealed in sequentially numbered, opaque, sealed envelopes. Clinical parameters [fever, cough, dyspnea, respiratory rate, PaO2/ FiO2 level, pulse, BP, the requirement of O2, and others] will be recorded before and after CP. Laboratory parameters such as complete blood count, CRP, chest X-ray, SGPT, SGOT, S. Ferritin, and serum antibody titre will be measured before and after transfusion. Allergic or serum sickness-like reactions will be noted and adjusted with outcome. Laboratory tests including RT-PCR will be done at BSMMU virology and laboratory medicine department. Apheretic plasma will be collected at the transfusion medicine department of SHNIBPS hospital, ELISA, antibody titre will be done at CMBT, and patients will be enrolled at DMC and MuMCH. All necessary screening tests will be done before transfusion. Graphpad Prism v 7.0 will be used for analysis. One way ANOVA test, a non-parametric Mann-Whitney test, and a Kruskal-Wallis test will be performed to compare the arms. For parametric outcomes, the investigators will compare the odds ratios across the pairs.
