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.

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.

Prone positioning is an established intervention in mechanically ventilated acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) patients, with demonstrated reductions in mortality. Preliminary data suggest that awake proning in patients with COVID-19 treated with high-flow nasal oxygenation (HFNO) improves gas exchanges, and might be associated with a reduced need of mechanical ventilation, and reduced mortality. Further investigation in a formal randomized-controlled trial is need.

Selective Cytopheretic Device (SCD) treatments will improve survival in patients testing positive for COVID-19 infection diagnosed with Acute Kidney Injury (AKI) or ARDS.

The primary objective is to determine the usability of the SARS-CoV-2 Specimen Collection Materials for at-home collection and mailing of sample to the testing laboratory.

In patients treated for exudative age-related macular degeneration (AMD), diabetes, retinal venous occlusion (OVR), or other conditions causing macular edema, treatments with anti-angiogenic intravitreal injections (IVT) are widely used both for their anti-angiogenic action. Patients often have injections for many years, sometimes monthly or every 2 months. The discontinuation of treatment with repeated injections of anti-angiogenic agents, linked to the COVID-19 coronavirus pandemic will potentially impact the visual acuity, the ophthalmological state and the quality of life of the patients concerned, therefore it is relevant to analyze the consequences the breakdown of usual care in this population.

One case of maternal-fetal transmission of SARS Cov-2 was published (1). Ig M and Ig G were found at two hours after birth of a new born from a mother COVID-19. Another study on few newborns COVID-19 reported that the SARS-Cov-2 was not transmitted in utero but only after birth. Although there are few data on COVID-19 during pregnancy, according to our national data collections, it appears to be responsible for miscarriages and fetal deaths. There are also intrauterine growth restrictions and an increase of the rate of cesarean sections for maternal indications. Therefore, it is essential to know if there is a maternal viremia which infects the fetus because the consequences in terms of management would be completely different. In fact, the potential intrauterine infection will lead to antenatal monitoring of these patients with an antenatal diagnosis and may be a treatment. Therefore, it seems essential to explore the mode of transmission to the newborn since many newborns have COVID-19 infection The investigators will propose to all pregnant women SARS- Cov-2 positive to perform PCR SARS-Cov-2 tests and /or serology's (IgM and Ig G) on the amniotic fluid, the blood cord and the placenta.
Herlev and Gentofte Hospital
The study is a prospective clinical cohort study of consecutive patients hospitalized at all hospitals of greater Copenhagen with a laboratory confirmed diagnosis of COVID-19. The investigators aim to examine if continuous ECG monitoring can be used to understand the contribution of COVID-19 infection in the acute phase to the development of cardiac arrhythmias, especially focusing on cardiovascular outcomes. In all patients included, the investigators aim to examine if continuous ECG monitoring - alone and in combination with biomarkers - can be used to detect early signs of cardiac complications and predict long-term risk of cardiovascular morbidity and mortality following COVID-19 infection.

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.

The host response against the coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) appears to be mediated by a 'cytoquine storm' developing a systemic inflammatory mechanism and an acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), in the form of a bilateral pneumonitis, requiring invasive mechanical ventilation (IMV) in an important group of patients. In terms of preventing progression to the critical phase with the consequent need of admission to the intensive care units (ICU), it has been recently proposed that this inflammatory cytoquine-mediated process can be safely treated by a single course of ultra-low radiotherapy (RT) dose < 1 Gy. The main purpose of the study was to analyze the efficacy of ultra low-dose pulmonary RT, as an anti-inflammatory intention in patients with SARS-Cov-2 pneumonia with a poor or no response to standard medical treatment and without IMV.
