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.
Search Tips
To search this directory, simply type a drug name, condition, company name, location, or other term of your choice into the search bar and click SEARCH. For broadest results, type the terms without quotation marks; to narrow your search to an exact match, put your terms in quotation marks (e.g., “acute respiratory distress syndrome” or “ARDS”). You may opt to further streamline your search by using the Status of the study and Intervention Type options. Simply click one or more of those boxes to refine your search.

The novel coronavirus (COVID-19) emerged in December 2019, and in mere months has spread to more than 104 countries, resulting in an outbreak of viral pneumonia worldwide. Current local quarantine policy in Hong Kong for individuals suspected for COVID-19 requires daily self-reported symptomatology and body temperature, given the intermittent nature and the high dependency of self-discipline undermine the practicality of the approach. To date, the advance in sensor technology has made possible to continuously monitor individual physiological parameters using a simple wearable device. Together with the mobile wearable technology that allowing instantaneous, multi-directional, and massive data transfer, remote continuous physiological monitoring is made possible. The Cardiology division, the Univeristy of Hong Kong has been in collaboration with Biofourmis to implement such technology for remote heart failure management. Similar digital therapeutic system can be applied to remotely monitor physiological parameters of large number of quarantined or suspected COVID-19 at home or in quarantine facility. It is purposed to allow the monitoring team to effectively and remotely monitor COVID-19 quarantined and patients, manage and evaluate the disease progression.

Translational, prospective / retrospective, non-profit, non-pharmacological study, with cohort characteristics. The study consists of two parts: the first to study epidemiological aspects of the spread of the disease and the second one to identify infection-related genetic factors.

Many critical ethical questions arise in pandemic covid 19planning, preparedness and response. These include: Who will get priority access to medications, vaccines and intensive care unit beds, given the potential shortage of these essential resources? In the face of a pandemic, what obligations do health-care workers have to work not withstanding risks to their own health and the health of their families? How can surveillance, isolation, quarantine and social-distancing measures be undertaken in a way that respects ethical norms? What obligations do countries have to one another with respect to pandemic covid 19 planning and response efforts?

National multicentric observational retrospective case-control study comparing the relative frequency of the various microorganisms responsible for VAP in patients infected or not by SARS-CoV-2 and their resistance to antibiotics.

The World Health Organization (WHO) has recently declared coronavirus disease 2019 (Covid-19) a public health emergency of international concern. Impact of the pandemic of covid-19 on the mental health of patients, health care workers and general population would be affected.
Institute of Liver and Biliary Sciences, India
To address the existing deficiencies in the knowledge regarding liver involvement and spectrum of clinical presentation and the impact of COVID-19 infection in patients of liver disease was planned. The present study will be a hospital based and the cases of confirmed COVID-19 infection will be evaluated in relation to liver involvement irrespective of pre-existing liver disease. The primary objective was to address the clinical presentation, biochemical alteration and outcomes of COVID-19 infection in subjects with chronic hepatitis, cirrhosis in comparison to those having infection in the absence of pre-existing liver disease

SARV-CoV-2 infection was considered pandemic on March 11, 2020. The SARV-CoV-2 epidemic affected France from the beginning of March, spreading in particular from a 4-day large evangelical meeting of 2500 people on February 17 in the city of Mulhouse (North East of France). The Montpellier University Hospital has set up a clinical pathway for people suspected of being infected with SARV-CoV-2 because of signs compatible with pneumonia (screening criteria in France during the study period). This includes an emergency department, an infectious disease department dedicated to the surveillance of infected people requiring hospital treatment, and an intensive care unit for the most severe cases. The diagnosis of infection with SARV-CoV-2 was confirmed in approximately 20% of people initially referred in this special care system. The main objective of this cohorte is the collection of clinical data and biological samples from care for non-interventional research on the patients with a possible or confirmed SARS-CoV -2 infection, from diagnosis to long-term follow-up.

Despite new charachersitics of COVID-19 patients, critical care implementation seems to be similar to those with Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome (ARDS) in intensive care units (ICU). Regarding the initial gravity of these patients, sedation and neuromuscular blockers are usually administrated, increasing the risk to develope an ICU-acquired weakness which is directly correlated to morbi-mortality and a burden during recovery. Respiratory symptoms are mostly related to dyspnoea and non-productive cough, with only 33% of COVID-19 patient having a bronchial hypersecretion ; consequently, chest physiotherapy is only implemented in after case-by-case evaluation. This unprecedented situation requires to identify how physiotherapy is being implemented in COVID-19 patients in ICU. This retrospective, multicentric study aims to identify the charactheristics of physiotherapy (type and time spent) implemented in Argentina, Belgium, Chili, France, Italy and Spain

The aim of this study is to assess the virus RNA, and miRNA levels related to viral infection, and inflammatory response in tears of hospitalized patients with a diagnosis of COVID-19 with and without conjunctivitis and to correlate them with clinical condition. Tears will be collected by using Schirmer Test I, a non invasive painless test which can be performed at the patient's bed. Tears will be collected on the graduated paper strips pulling the lower lid gently downward for 5 minutes. Following, the strip will be placed in a 2.0 mL Eppendorf tube and stored at -80◦C (or - 20°C)
