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.

This is a multi-center, randomized, placebo controlled, interventional phase 2A trial to evaluate the safety profile and potential efficacy of multi-dosing of mesenchymal stromal cells (MSC) for patients with SARS-CoV-2 associated Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome (ARDS). After informed consent, treatment assignment will be made by computer-generated randomization to administer either MSC or vehicle placebo control with a 2:1 allocation to the MSC: placebo arm.

The spectrum of the COVID-19 disease ranges from benign to asymptomatic to viral pneumopathy that can progress to acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). The host-pathogen relationships and the physiopathological mechanisms underlying the clinical aggravation of COVID-19 patients remain misunderstood. The project aim is to create a prospective cohort of biological samples collected from well characterized COVID-19 patients. This project aims first to identify based on these samples an early immune signature predictive of clinical worsening of COVID-19 patients in order to improve their management, and secondarily to better understand pathophysiological mechanisms underlying the different phases of the disease in order to identify innovative therapeutic targets and vaccine perspectives.

In early December 2019, cases of pneumonia of unknown origin were reported in Wuhan, Hubei Province in the People's Republic of China. The disease spreads rapidly and the number of sick people is increasing. On January 3, 2020 a new virus of the coronavirus family is identified in samples of bronchoalveolar lavage fluid from a patient in Wuhan and subsequently confirmed as the cause of these pneumonias. On 7 January 2020, the World Health Organization (WHO) designated it as the new coronavirus 2019 (i.e. 2019-nCoV). On 11 February 2020, the WHO designated the disease associated with 2019-nCoV as coronavirus 2019 disease (COVID-19). On 12 March, WHO announced that the COVID-19 outbreak is a pandemic. As of March 24, 2020, more than 375,000 cases of COVID-19 had been diagnosed with more than 16,000 deaths attributed to this virus. (Ref WHO https://www.who.int/emergencies/diseases/novel-coronavirus-2019 ). In France, the number of cases rose from 105 cases at the end of February to 19615 confirmed cases on March 24. (Source Public Health France). Most of the cases are adults. However, children are not completely spared and serious cases have been described. These severe cases can be respiratory or extra-respiratory (e.g. myocarditis). We also know that pediatric and adult cases differ in terms of clinical, biological and imaging findings, particularly chest CT scans. However, the description of paediatric pictures, especially severe forms and the involvement of children suffering from co-morbidities, remains poorly reported. Finally, the risk factors for serious cases in children remain largely unknown. This observatory aim to describe the clinical phenotypes of hospitalized pediatric patients with Covid19 in France, according to age groups. Moreover for a subgroup of patients, informations regarding the long covid will be reported.

Our long-term goal is to protect the health care workforce (HCW) caring for SARS-CoV-2-infected patients, their families, communities, and the general population. Our specific objective is to rapidly establish a prospective cohort to characterize the factors related to viral transmission and disease severity in a large healthcare system. We addressed this hypothesis by recruiting and longitudinally following 546 HCW and a comparison group of 283 non-HCW within a large academic health system, Rutgers Biomedical and Health Sciences (RBHS). By intensively following participants over a several year period (2020-2024) and collecting serial biospecimens (nasopharyngeal/throat swabs, blood, and saliva) and questionnaire data at multiple time points, we will uniquely characterize SARS-CoV-2 transmission and risk factors for COVID-19 among HCW and our larger academic community.

Background: People who are recovering from COVID-19 may continue to have problems that affect their daily life. For instance, they might feel overly tired. Researchers want to learn if exercise can help people recover after COVID-19 infection. Objective: To study if participation in a rehabilitation exercise program can help people recovering from COVID-19. Eligibility: Adults ages 18-80 with a lab-confirmed SARS-CoV2 infection (the virus that causes COVID-19), and are still having some symptoms. Design: Participants will have a medical history and physical exam. They will give blood and urine samples. They will have tests to measure heart and lung function. Their blood vessels will be assessed. Participants will have a computed tomography scan of the body. They will have an ultrasound of the muscles in their arms, legs, and chest. Participants will take a 6-minute walk test. They will take other balance and movement tests. Participants will walk on a treadmill while hooked up to a monitor. Then they will be interviewed. It will be audio-recorded. Participants will complete surveys about their symptoms and daily activities. Participants will take a smell test. For this, they will identify different smells. They will also have memory, attention, and mental functioning tests. Participants will wear an activity monitor on their wrist 24 hours a day. They will exercise 3 times a week for 10 weeks by moving vigorously on a track or treadmill for 30 minutes. They will attend education classes once a week for 10 weeks. Participants will be contacted by phone or email every 3 months for 1 year after they complete the exercise part of the study. They will wear an activity monitor for up to 2 weeks.

Several publications document the occurrence of symptoms that persist or occur late. The identification of the observed clinical manifestations and their clinical and paraclinical description are essential to better understand the natural evolution of COVID-19, to clarify the pathophysiological mechanism of these possible late manifestations, and to identify potential management options for patients. Since this type of event is infrequent, a large-scale national multicenter cohort study focusing on symptomatic patients is needed.
