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.

COVID-19, the infectious disease caused by the novel coronavirus SARS-CoV-2, currently poses a global economic, social, political and medical challenge. The virus originated in December 2019 in Wuhan, China, and has spread rapidly around the world. Currently, European countries, including Austria, are severely affected.The most common computed tomographic changes in acute lung injury include bilateral and subpleural milk glass opacity, consolidation in lower lobes, or both. In the intermediate phase of the infection (4-14 days after the onset of symptoms) a so-called "crazy paving" may occur. The most prominent radiological changes occur around day 10, followed by gradual resolution, which begins two weeks after the onset of symptoms. Given the phylogenetic relationship between SARS-CoV-1 and SARS-CoV-2, the similar clinical course in severe cases and overlapping CT patterns in the acute setting, persistent radiological and pulmonary functional changes in survivors are conceivable. It is also conceivable that a proportion of survivors will develop progressive ILD, either due to viral or ventilator-induced alveolar damage, or both. Here, the investigators intend to investigate COVID-19 survivors through clinical examinations, functional lung examinations, HR-CT scans, and by determining the "immunofibrotic" pattern in peripheral mononuclear cells (PBMCs) 1, 3, and 6 months after discharge.

The FDA has provided an emergency waiver for the use of non-invasive continuous glucose monitors (CGM) in hospitals, so frontline health care providers (in hospitals) can remotely monitor patients with diabetes thus reducing patient's discomfort, limiting exposure to COVID-19 and preserving critical personal protective equipment (PPE). The FreeStyle Libre 14-day system is a continuous glucose monitoring system consisting of a handheld reader (smart phone may be used) and a sensor applied with adhesive to back of the upper arm. In order to evaluate the reliability of the Freestyle Libre CGM for in-patient use, we propose a study which will examine the correlation between the libre CGM data and capillary blood glucose test - the current standard of care taken by the Accuchek Inform II platform.

A new virus to humans, first identified in December 2019, is causing a global pandemic with over 1 million infections and many thousands of deaths. The virus, SARS-CoV2, leads to coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), which mainly affects the breathing system. Around 1 in every 5 people with COVID-19 have more severe infection needing treatment in hospital. Up to half of them require help with breathing in an intensive care unit. Information we have so far about COVID-19 suggests that people with underlying conditions, such as high blood pressure and heart disease, or older people are at higher risk of having severe illness. Scientists do not yet understand why but think it may be related to the immune system. SARS-CoV2 activates the immune system causing inflammation in the lungs, which is also seen in circulating immune cells in the blood. Preliminary reports show that the response of the immune system can be inappropriate, both overactive and also poorly responsive (exhausted). Changes in the type and function of immune cells have been linked to increased risk of severe disease or death from COVID-19. In this study, the investigators will look for markers of immune function when a person first attends hospital, which can be used to predict whether they will go on to have a more severe infection. This will help treat patients more effectively, for example, by moving high risk patients to an intensive care setting at an early stage. The team will investigate the immune system in detail in 200 patients with COVID-19 attending University Hospitals Plymouth. The investigators will look for changes in the number, type and function of circulating immune cells and measure whether these changes are linked to severity of the infection or death. The investigators will use established techniques to measure immune function that could be rapidly put into routine hospital care to help guide treatment for individual patients.

Aim of the study is to investigate whether the Covid-19 is found in the vaginal swab samples of female patients diagnosed with covid-19, to evaluate the presence of Covid-19 and the risk of transmission of Covid-19 by intercourse or vaginal delivery.

COVID-19 is a new emerging disease caused by infection with the SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus, with no specific therapeutic options. Since the end of February 2020, the Strasbourg University Hospital (HUS) had faced a sudden increase of patients with COVID-19 resulted from a SARS-CoV-2 superspreading event (religious meeting). Infected individuals went to regional hospitals, and this led to a cluster of infected healthcare workers at the Strasbourg University Hospitals from the first week of March. To date, several hundred Strasbourg hospital workers have presented a SARS-CoV-2 infection confirmed by the RT-PCR test from a nasopharyngeal sample. Most of them developed a mild form of COVID-19. It is important to understand how far the infection has spread in the hospital staff, and to which extent the individuals who have been infected develop antibodies against SARS-CoV-2.

This is a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, phase I clinical study to evaluate the tolerability, safety, pharmacokinetic profile and immunogenicity of JS016 (anti-SARS-CoV-2 monoclonal antibody) injection in Chinese healthy subjects after intravenous infusion of single dose.Eligible patients will be injection JS016 (anti-SARS-CoV-2 monoclonal antibody)

In COVID-19 pandemic, it is of critical importance to identify a rapid and simple diagnostic method to be used in clinical settings to timely inform and refine strategies that can prevent, control, and stop the spread of SARS-CoV-2. The 2019-nCoV IgG/IgM Rapid Test Cassette (Whole Blood/Serum/Plasma) is a qualitative, membrane-based immunoassay for the detection of immunoglobulin G (IgG) and Immunoglobulin M (IgM) antibodies to SARS-CoV-2 in whole blood, serum or plasma specimen. Clinical specimens from patients who were suspected of being infected with 2019-nCoV will be used to evaluate the performance of the assay.
