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 Phase 1/2/3, randomized, placebo-controlled, observer-blind, dose-finding, vaccine candidate-selection, and efficacy study in healthy individuals. The study consists of 2 parts: Phase 1: to identify preferred vaccine candidate(s) and dose level(s); Phase 2/3: an expanded cohort and efficacy part. The study will evaluate the safety, tolerability, and immunogenicity of 3 different SARS-CoV-2 RNA vaccine candidates against COVID-19 and the efficacy of 1 candidate: - As a 2-dose (separated by 21 days) schedule; - At various different dose levels in Phase 1; - As a booster; - In 3 age groups (Phase 1: 18 to 55 years of age, 65 to 85 years of age; Phase 2/3: ≥12 years of age [stratified as 12-15, 16-55 or >55 years of age]). The candidate selected for efficacy evaluation in Phase 2/3 is BNT162b2 at a dose of 30 µg. Participants who originally received placebo will be offered the opportunity to receive BNT162b2 at defined points as part of the study. In order to describe the boostability of BNT162, and potential heterologous protection against emerging SARS-CoV-2 VOCs, an additional dose of BNT162b2 at 30 µg will be given to Phase 1 participants approximately 6 to 12 months after their second dose of BNT162b1 or BNT162b2. This will provide an early assessment of the safety of a third dose of BNT162, as well as its immunogenicity. The assessment of boostability will be further expanded in a subset of Phase 3 participants at selected sites in the US who will receive a third dose of BNT162b2 at 30 µg or a third and potentially a fourth dose of prototype BNT162b2VOC at 30 µg (BNT162b2s01, based upon the South African variant and hereafter referred to as BNT162b2SA). A further subset of Phase 3 participants will receive a third, lower, dose of BNT162b2 at 5 or 10 µg. To further describe potential homologous and heterologous protection against emerging SARS-CoV-2 VOCs, a new cohort of participants will be enrolled who are COVID-19 vaccine-naïve (ie, BNT162b2-naïve) and have not experienced COVID-19. They will receive BNT162b2SA given as a 2-dose series, separated by 21 days. To reflect current and anticipated recommendations for COVID 19 vaccine boosters, participants in C4591001 who meet specified recommendations and have not already received one, will be offered a third dose of BNT162b2 after their second dose of BNT162.

This is a two-phase multicenter study that will be conducted in collaboration with five university hospitals, in order to offer telehealth services at home in patients with COVID-19, after hospital discharge. At the first phase an observational study aims to investigate the physical and psychological status of patients after hospital discharge and to provide support and information how to cope with symptoms (early fatigue, muscle weakness, eating difficulties, etc). At the second phase a randomized control trial study will evaluate a 6-month telerehabilitation program for 100 adults (aged 20-65 years) diagnosed with COVID-19, who completed the first phase of this study. At this phase, the study will randomize (1:1 allocation) 100 male and female who were hospitalized with COVID-19 to either a 24-week home-based telerehabilitation program versus usual care. The intervention program includes individualized prescribed endurance exercises, low intensity aerobic exercises, upper and lower extremity strength training, breathing exercises as well as a three times per month online support with 1:1 supervision via video conferencing with an expert physiotherapist.

The purpose of this pilot study is to measure the impact of non-invasive pneumatic manipulation of transthoracic pressure on oxygenation in patients with Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome (ARDS) due to Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID 19) who are on mechanical ventilator support. This will be achieved by a pneumatic Vest placed around the chest wall of consenting patients who meet inclusion criteria. The Vest is essentially a non-invasive segmental device placed upon the anterior and posterior right and left aspects of the chest wall. The researchers have the ability to inflate and deflate the chambers of the Vest to achieve preset pressures as determined by the protocol and observe the patient's physiological response. Participants will have up to four hours of intervention with the study intervention, followed by 1 hour of post-intervention observation.

Coronavirus COVID-19 is an emerging virus also called Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). Eighty percent of patients are poor or asymptomatic. However, there are major respiratory complications for some patients, requiring intensive care hospitalization and possibly leading to death in 5% of cases. One of the hypotheses put forward is that much of the pathophysiology is due to endothelial dysfunction associated with disseminated intravascular coagulation. The covid-19 pathology could induce coagulation impairment as observed during sepsis. An increase in D-dimer levels during covid-19 disease is itself associated with excess mortality. While D-dimers are highly sensitive, they are not specific for clotting activity. They may be increased in many other circumstances, particularly in inflammation. On the other hand, the infection stimulates the release of extracellular vesicles. These vesicles, of multiple cellular origin, are an actor of vascular homeostasis, and participate in the state of hyperactivation of coagulation. They have a major role in the prothrombotic state and the development of coagulopathy associated with sepsis. The aim of our monocentric prospective study would be to study early and more specific markers of hypercoagulability and markers of routine endothelial dysfunction, as soon as the patient is hospitalized, in order to predict the risk of hospitalization in intensive care.

The SARS-CoV-2 pandemic has resulted in an international shortage of the nasopharyngeal (NP) swabs used to collect sample for virological testing. This shortage has become a crisis as testing capacity is growing, and threatens to become the bottleneck at University of Virginia Health System and in the Commonwealth of Virginia, as it already is in other testing centers. To resolve this crisis, a team in the Clinical Microbiology Laboratories at University of Virginia Medical Center has been working closely with biomedical engineers in the University of Virginia (UVA), School of Engineering and with high volume domestic manufacturers developing injection molded polypropylene flocked nylon NP swab. This prototype will be tested for non-inferiority relative to existing, already validated NP swabs ("control swab") for purposes of molecular microbiology: i.e. the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) tests used for virological testing for SARS-CoV-2. Specifically, the nasopharynx of patients with Covid-19 and patients under investigation (PUI) for Covid-19, the disease caused by SARS-CoV-2, will be swabbed using a prototype swab and a control swab (the standard of care swab), and test for concordance of SARS-CoV-2. In all cases the swab will be transported in validated FDA cleared viral transport medium (VTM) as per standard operating procedure at University of Virginia Medical Center.
