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 present study will try to respond first in an initial phase, what is the minimum effective dose necessary of convalescent plasma for getting better in severly ill (not intubated) or very severely ill (intubated) patients. Once the dose will be determined by each type of patient group (severely ill vs. very severely ill) has been determined, phase 2 of the study will begin, where the safety and efficacy of the use of plasma will be evaluated based on clinical, imaging and laboratory criteria. So, our hypotheses are: 1. Is there a minimum effective dose to treat seriously ill patients with convalescent plasma with COVID-19? 2. the plasma dose with the minimum effective effect will improve the clinical, laboratory and clearance conditions of the presence of the virus in the severely ill patient?

The Risk stratification in COVID-19 patients in the ICU (RISC-19-ICU) registry was founded during the emerging SARS-CoV-2 pandemic. COVID-19 is a novel disease caused by infection with the SARS-CoV-2 virus that was first described in December 2019. The disease has spread exponentially in many countries and has reached global pandemic status within three months. According to first experience, hospitalization was required in approximately 20 % of cases and severe, life-threatening illness resulted in approximately 10 %. In some countries, health care systems were overwhelmed by the rapid increase in critically ill patients that far exceeded their capacity. It is thus of utmost importance to gain knowledge about the characteristics and course of critically ill patients with COVID-19 and to stratify these patients according to their risk for further deterioration. A key part of fighting this pandemic is to exchange scientific information and advance our understanding of the disease. The Risk stratification in COVID-19 patients in the ICU (RISC-19-ICU) registry aims to collect an anonymized dataset to characterize patients that develop life-threatening critical illness due to COVID-19 and make it accessible to collaborative analysis. The data collected may be composed of a core dataset and/or an extended dataset. The core dataset consists of a basic set of parameters, of which many are commonly generated during treatment of critically ill patients with COVID-19 in an intensive care unit (the individual parameters are marked yellow in the attached case report forms, and are clearly marked on the electronic case report forms during data entry). The extended dataset consists of parameters that may be measured during treatment of critically ill patients with COVID-19 in an intensive care unit, depending on clinical practice, indication and availability of the measurement method. The data accumulating in the registry as the pandemic or subsequent waves develop are made available to the collaborators to support an optimal response to the pandemic threat. The information gained on the initial characteristics and disease course via the RISC-19-ICU registry may contribute to a better understanding of the risk factors for developing critical illness due to COVID-19 and for an unfavorable disease course, and thus support informed patient triage and management decisions. Initial research questions are (I) to perform risk stratification of critically ill patients with COVID-19 to find predictors associated with the development of critical illness due to COVID-19: characterization of the study population, which are critically ill patients with COVID-19: inflammation, oxygenation, circulatory function, among other parameters collected in the registry, and (II) to perform risk stratification of critically ill patients with COVID-19 to predict outcome after ICU admission (ICU mortality, ICU length of stay): characterization of patients grouped by disease course in the ICU, based on inflammation, oxygenation, circulatory function, and other parameters collected in the registry.
Massachusetts General Hospital
This study uses the AirGo band to monitor changes in tidal ventilation in spontaneously breathing patients with COVID-19 associated respiratory failure. It aims to recognize patterns of ventilation associated with worsening respiratory failure in this patient population. If successful, this study will lead to the development of new robust methods for real-time, continuous monitoring of respiratory function in patients with respiratory failure. In turn, such monitoring methods may enable improvements in the medical management of respiratory failure and timing of interventions.

Patients with COVID-19 which are 60 years old or above or with comorbidities are at risk of deteriorating and developing severe illness. This prospective open label study will include people 60 years old or above or younger if at risk for severe disease. Individuals confirmed to have SARS-CoV-2 infection will be identified using medical records screening. They will then be offered to participate in the study and if agree will be given the informed consent. After examining inclusion and exclusion criteria they will be asked to sign the informed consent and after signing Information like immunizations, ECG results, diagnostic images and reports, written medical reports, diagnostic lab testing results (e.g. blood tests, urine tests, blood bank info), allergies and intolerances (drug and food allergies, food intolerances), prescription history, and general patient information (e.g. name, birthdate, personal health number, address, phone number) will be gathered. Those who are not eligible for the study will be informed of the reason(s) for ineligibility (generally it will be a safety exclusion and they should be aware of this). Those who are eligible will be randomized to one of three arms: hydroxychloroquine + azithromycin, hydroxychloroquine + camostat mesylate or "doing nothing" in a ratio of 2:1:2. Study drug will be dispensed by the hospital pharmacy. Follow up will continue for 8 weeks.

The investigatores propose to evaluate intravenous administration of convalescent plasma (CP) obtained from COVID19 survivors in patients requiring hospitalization for symptomatic "high risk" COVID19 disease as reflected by the presence of elevated hsTPN. Supportive data exist for use of convalescent plasma in the treatment of COVID19 and other overwhelming viral illness. Investigators hypothesize that treatment with COVID19 CP will demonstrate salutary effects on COVID19 disease severity/duration, with the primary objective to reduce mortality and a key secondary objective to reduce the requirement for and/or duration of mechanical ventilation. Finally, as the hospital mortality for patients requiring mechanical ventilation is very high (50 to 80%), these patients will be eligible for COVID19 CP treatment as well, even in the absence of elevated hsTPN. Although considerable overlap of these populations has been observed (elevated hsTPN and requirement for mechanical ventilation) there is not 100% redundancy and it is hopeful that COVID19 CP may provide benefit to these critically ill patients.
