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 pandemic of a newly upcoming viral disease which is associated with COVID-19 puts the whole world's health system under pressure. Patients suffering from this disease mainly develop respiratory symptoms, which can lead to severe acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) necessitating ICU, admission in 10-20% of the cases admitted to hospital. In addition to these symptoms, patients show lymphopenia, cardiac symptoms and altered coagulation profiles. Although those patients are treated in the ICU the mortality is up to 20% due to multiorgan failure. The aim of this study is to show non-inferiority of flow-controlled ventilation compared to standard (lung protective ventilation). Methods: After admission to the ICU, the patients will receive information about the study and informed consent will be taken. Upon reaching the criteria for moderate to severe ARDS (P/F ratio below 200 mmHg and PEEP above 5 cmH2O) the patients will be randomized. In the treatment group (group A) the ultra-thin ventilation tube will be placed through the existing tube. Then flow-controlled ventilation will be applied for 48 hours. In the other group (group B) ventilation will be performed according to the lung protective strategy. All other treatment will be unchanged. Data-collection will be started 1 hour after initiation of the study. Primary end point is PaO2.

The necessity for early detection and hence improving the outcome of treatment of pneumonia is critical especially SARS-CoV-2 induced cases. This work was designed to evaluate the potential application of measuring circulating epigenetic markers namely, miR-744, miR-24, miR-124, miR-155, miR-19a, miR-122, miR-21, miR-223, let-7f, miR-146, miR-196, miR-136, P13-K, miR-9 expression, and DNA methylation profiling of the ACE2, TMPRSS2, PARP, HOX1 genes in Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) due to SARS-CoV-2 with/without pneumonia and severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) patients as an attempt to evaluate the potential benefits of these new circulating, prognostic, epigenetic markers for Turkish patients.

The ISACS STEMI COVID-19 has been established in response to the emerging outbreak of COVID-19 to provide a European overview to estimate the real impact of COVID-19 pandemic on treatment and outcome of STEMI by primary angioplasty, and to identify any potential category of patients at risk for delay to treatment or no presentation.

There is a critical need to determine the impact of the COVID-19 emergency on the comprehensive well-being of people as they are living through the emergency and sequelae of the emergency period. The research team is requesting National Institutes of Health funding with the goal to investigate rural vs. urban living people's response to the crisis and its impact using mixed methods research.

Morbidity, mortality and progress depends on systemic inflammation especially in ARDS patients. Previous studies claims that the proportion of mean platellet volume to platellet which can simply be determined with simple blood tests that are performed at admission, might predict the mortality in ARDS patients. Covid-19 pneumonia has a very similar clinical outlook with ARDS. Therefore we decided to research whether that proportion is legitimate for detecting the progress of Covid-19 pneumonia or not.

Randomized, Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled, Parallel-Group, Multi-Centre Phase II/III Adaptive Clinical Trial to Assess the Safety and Immunogenicity of Gam-COVID-Vac Combined Vector Vaccine for SARS-Сov-2 Infection in Indian Healthy Subjects.

Single-center study with a parallel group scheme, double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled, to evaluate whether the addition to the investigator's hospital standard therapy of two vials of Bioarginina® per day in subjects with SARS-CoV-2 is useful for treatment of this pathology.

Overweight or obese patients are particularly exposed to severe forms of COVID-19. Few data suggest that adipose tissue infected with SARS-CoV-2 could be involved in the onset of the cytokine storm seen in severe forms of COVID-19. The aim of this study is to determine the pathogenesis of SARS-CoV-2-infection of adipose tissue. In particular the investigators will study how this virus enters the adipocyte and how it modulates metabolism and inflammation in the adipose tissue. From these data, the investigators hope to determine at the adipose tissue level, original therapeutic targets to modulate the effects of SARS-CoV-2 at the systemic level.

exercise activity during the COVID pandemic is appreciated to be conducted in home especially for chronic chest diseases as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) to reduce the chance of viral contamination during the COVID-19 pandemic.

This Randomized Control Trial (RCT) proposes combination of extracorporeal cytokine removal by plasma exchange (PLEX) and additional infusion of convalescent plasma (CCP) collected from COVID-19 recovered individuals at the end of the PLEX procedure. The combination of cytokine removal by PLEX and CCP infusion is in onvestigators opinion more rational compared to CCP infusion alone and as such probably more effective in reducing the duration of mechanical ventilation, length of stay in the intensive care unit, and potentially also mortality.
