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 purpose of the study is to study the detection of SARS-Cov-2 virus in the conjunctiva of covid-19 patients and the presence or absence of conjunctivitis in these patients

This study will refine and pilot the feasibility of introducing a thermal imaging test to detect fever in 100 patients being triaged within the Emergency Department. The only additional research requirement for the patient is to have a thermal image of their face taken. Other triage tests will be routine. The aims of the feasibility study are to: - Understand the acceptability of introducing the intervention within the Emergency Department setting - Establish indicative patient recruitment numbers per week - Determine the likely proportion of patients recruited from this group who have a high temperature - Provide preliminary evidence that the technology can identify a high temperature in this diverse group of patients - Provide preliminary data for machine learning training to support classification of patients as being with or without fever The feasibility study will then inform the design and size of larger study to further develop and validate the the thermal imaging screening test to provide a 'with/ without' fever result.

Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection is a pandemic disease with worldwide spreading. Limited data are existed regarding SARS-CoV-2 positive carriers among asymptomatic medical employees in non-profile infectious clinic, e.g. cardiovascular clinic, routinely working in the pandemic region with two million inhabitants. The aim is to test the percentage and increase of the SARS-CoV-2 positive carriers among asymptomatic medical employees in high-volume cardiovascular center in routine clinical practice.

It might be necessary with Sars-Cov2 pneumopathy patient to repeat thoracic images, the tomodensitometry ones in particular. This task is difficult and nearly impossible for several reasons: respiratory and hemodynamic unstable patient, prone position and due to the high contagious nature of the disease. The lung ultrasound is an easy tool, fast (between 5 and 10 minutes) and as a limited training. In the context of the Sars-Cov2 epidemic, Buonsenso and al case report depict the first lung ultrasound for a Covid 19 patient. Peng and al in Intensive Care Medicine accentuate the usefulness of this particular technic. In the American Journal of Respiratory and Critical Care Medicine, a study has been published as a point-of-care, in which the doctors reported using the lung ultrasound with intensive and critical care patient. In Critical Care 2016, it has been showed that ultrasound allowed with neat precisions, to predict severe ARDS patient response to the prone position, all-cause. Another researchers team found a good correlation between lung ultrasound, the SOFA, APACHE II, CPIS score, and patient mortality. And a new applicability in the pulmonary recruitment by PEEP titration has been presented. The aim of this study is to evaluate the lung ultrasound in Covid19 ARDS.

In this research study the investigators want to learn more about the potential benefit of radiation to the lung to improve the health of patients who are hospitalized with Coronavirus-19 (COVID-19) due to infection with a virus called SARS-CoV-2. This infection causes inflammation of the lung, which can make it difficult to breathe. As a result, patients may need supplemental oxygen or be placed on a ventilator. The investigators believe that low dose radiation therapy to the lung may reduce this inflammation and increase the likelihood that patients will need less oxygen support such as ventilation or supplemental oxygen, or be discharged from the hospital in fewer days, compared to without radiation therapy. The amount of radiation is much lower than what is typically used to treat other conditions such as cancer, although it is higher than the dose used for routine medical imaging.

Radiotherapy in low doses (30 to 100 cGy) was a popular treatment of viral pneumonias until 1940s. Low dose radiation therapy (LDRT) could possibly reduce the inflammation and prevent the cytokine storm thus mitigating the severity of pneumonitis. This is a single arm study designed to assess the feasibility and clinical efficacy of low dose radiation therapy (70 cGy in single fraction) in the patients with COVID-19 pneumonia. A total of 10 eligible patients (as per inclusion criteria) will be recruited and response will be assessed based on the symptomatic improvement or deterioration by using the National Early Warning Score (NEWS). The NEWS score will be recorded on baseline and then on Day 3, Day 7 and Day 14.

1. Develop a wearable sensor package to gather data on COVID-19-like signs and symptoms such as elevated body temperature, respiratory parameters, heart rate ,cough and gait. 2. Create algorithms to monitor and track changes to COVID19-like signs and symptoms for developing a better care and isolation strategies for COVID-19 pandemic.
ProofPilot
Radish Health and ProofPilot in coordination with Sanesco are running this study to help establish whether the Premier Biotech COVID-19 IgG/IgM Rapid Test Cassette (Whole Blood/Serum/Plasma Authorized for distribution under emergency use authorization - though not yet FDA reviewed) can be conducted effectively at home to detect COVID-19 antibodies among individuals who have tested positive, or suspect they have previous contracted from COVID-19 and recovered. The study also aims to examine how the results of those tests change social-distancing behaviors and general anxiety over 8 weeks post-test.

The aim of the present study is to examine whether cerebral oxygenation could be a more useful parameter than peripheral oxygen saturation to guide clinical titration of permissive hypoxemia in COVID-19 ARDS patients
