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.

Pandemic SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19) respiratory infection is responsible for more than 4,000 deaths, mainly (67%) secondary to acute respiratory distress syndromes (ARDS). ARDS is usually associated with a mortality of around 40%, but this rate reaches 61% in patients infected with SARS-CoV-2. Two endotypes have been described in patients with ARDS: one, hyper-inflammatory, associated with very high mortality (51%); the second, slightly inflammatory (immunoparalysis), associated with much lower mortality (19%). In COVID-19 patients, distinct immune response profiles have also been observed. Some patients present deep lymphopenia and/or prolonged viral excretions associated with more frequent occurrence of co-infections (+ 29% of virus, + 23% of bacteria, + 10% of fungi). The latter group may be at higher risk in terms of mortality. The intensity of the inflammatory response and/or microbial coinfections therefore appear as risk factors for severity and mortality in patients infected with SARS-CoV-2 which determine the course of the disease. To adapt early optimal therapeutic management to each forms of the disease, it is essential to be able to characterize these profiles on the microbiological and inflammatory level. With a committed network of 6 intensive-care units across eastern and northern Ile-de-France, 180 patients with ARDS and infected with SARS-CoV-2 are being enrolled. For these patients, a nasopharyngeal swab is collected at inclusion; followed by a new nasopharyngeal swab and a deep respiratory sample once a week, until D28, for an exploration of co-infections and for monitoring the viral load of SARS-CoV-2. The rest of each of these samples are collected for the study. In parallel, the clinical data usually collected in the context of intensive care will be collected on a CRF. They will allow to calculate risk scores such as SOFA.

The investigators propose to evaluate intravenous administration of convalescent plasma (CP) obtained from COVID19 survivors in COVID19 patients who are in the medium stage. Supportive data exist for use of convalescent plasma in the treatment of COVID19 and other overwhelming viral illnesses. The study team wants to test the hypothesis that treatment with COVID19 CP will demonstrate salutary effects on COVID19 disease severity/duration, with the primary objective to reduce mortality. In addition, a major secondary objective to reduce the requirement for and/or duration of mechanical ventilation. The first phase is to test the safety of CP therapy.

This is a multi-center, open-label study evaluating the safety of Allocetra-OTS, in 5 subjects with severe COVID-19 and respiratory dysfunction. Subjects, who will be identified as suffering from COVID-19, will be recruited. After signing an informed consent by the patient and, within 24+6 hours following the time of eligibility (time 0), on Day 1, eligible recipient subjects will receive single intravenous (IV) administration of investigational product as described below. Subjects will be hospitalized for COVID-19, and later as medically indicated. Following investigational product (IP) administration (Day 1), subjects will be followed for efficacy and safety assessments through 28 days.

Within the epidemic context of phase 3 in Mexico, the implementation of new treatments that have been shown to be beneficial for patients in other countries is an urgent need. Methylene blue (MB, the oxidized form, blue color) has been used in many different clinical medicine areas, ranging from malaria to orthopedics. Methylene blue absorbs energy directly from a light source and then transfers this energy to molecules of oxygen creating singlet oxygen (O2), which is the first electronic excited state of molecular oxygen (O2). Singlet oxygen is extremely electrophilic; thus, it can directly oxidize electron-rich double bonds in biological molecules and macromolecules. For this reason, methylene blue has been used as a photosensitizer in the treatment of cancer and the protection of serum from viral agents. Methylene blue can be reactivated using energy from a light source in the body until processed out through the kidneys.

The outbreak of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), which originated in Wuhan, China, has become a major concern all over the world. Convalescent plasma or immunoglobulins have been used as a last resort to improve the survival rate of patients with SARS whose condition continued to deteriorate despite treatment with pulsed methylprednisolone. Moreover, several studies showed a shorter hospital stay and lower mortality in patients treated with convalescent plasma than those who were not treated with convalescent plasma. Evidence shows that convalescent plasma from patients who have recovered from viral infections can be used effectively as a treatment of patients with active disease. To date, no specific treatment has been proven to be effective. The investigators plan to treat critical Covid-19 patients with hyperimmune plasma.

The SARS-CoV-2 virus is responsible for the COVID-19 pandemic. The pandemic emerged from Wuhan Province in China in December 2019 and was declared by the WHO Director-General a Public Health Emergency of International Concern on 30 January 2020. In this study, a vaccine developed by IIBR for SARS-CoV-2 virus will be assessed for its safety and potential efficacy in volunteers. The study is comprised of two phases, a dose-escalation phase (phase I) during which subjects (18-55 years old) will be randomly allocated to receive a single administration of IIBR-100 100 at low, mid or high dose or saline or two administrations of IIBR-100 at low dose, or saline, 28 days apart. Based on results obtained during phase I, and cumulative phase I data review, the expansion phase (phase II) has begun, during which larger cohorts as well as elderly age subjects will be randomly allocated to receive a single administration of IIBR-100 at low, mid or high dose or saline, or two administrations of IIBR-100 at low, mid or high dose (prime-boost) or saline, 28 days apart. Additional top-dose (prime-boost) may be implemented when immunogenicity of any prime-boost arm is considered insufficient. Based on immunogenicity preliminary data and DSMB recommendations, the two administrations of mid, high and top dose (prime-boost) or saline will continue. The subjects will be followed for a period of up to 12 months post last vaccine administration to assess the safety and efficacy of the vaccine.
