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 uses the AirGo band to monitor changes in tidal ventilation in spontaneously breathing patients with COVID-19 associated respiratory failure. It aims to recognize patterns of ventilation associated with worsening respiratory failure in this patient population. If successful, this study will lead to the development of new robust methods for real-time, continuous monitoring of respiratory function in patients with respiratory failure. In turn, such monitoring methods may enable improvements in the medical management of respiratory failure and timing of interventions.

This is a prospective multicenter cohort study. The question arises as to whether treatment with protease inhibitors (PIs) could have a preventive role for COVID-19 infection, especially since patients living with HIV (PLWHIV) have not been described as more at risk of developing COVID-19 infection. The aim of our study will therefore be to assess the impact of long-term protease inhibitors in PLWHIV on the incidence of COVID-19.

Rationale : The emergence of the novel, pathogenic SARS-coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) threatens public health. To date, there are no effective drug option to prevent the infection, nor therapeutics for controlling the deadly COVID-19. However, the majority of patients infected with SARS-Cov-2 eliminate the virus by mounting a protective antiviral immune response, associated in particular with the production of neutralizing antibodies. Neutralizing antibodies could be of particular interest for therapeutic purposes, but also for preventive applications, to protect people who have never been in contact with the virus, or immunocompromised patients. The objectives of this study are : - To generate human monoclonal antibodies neutralizing SARS-Cov-2 from immortalized B cells of convalescent patients. - To compare the serological profiles between convalescent patients that develop mild or uncomplicated illness and convalescent patients that develop a more severe disease, that required hospitalization and oxygen support. - To compare for each patient the neutralizing efficiency of plasma to the neutralizing capacities of the monoclonal antibodies generated with immortalized B cells.

Loss of sense of smell and taste has been anecdotally reported during the covid-19 epidemic. The study investigators wanted to describe the prevalence of olfactory and gustatory dysfunction and assess the factors associated with positive SARS-CoV-2 infection.

Elderly, hypertension, diabetes and cardiovascular diseases are risk factors for COVID-19 morbility and mortality. However, the real reason for this is not yet understood. It is well documented that gut microbiota has a critical role in health, particularly in the immune system and therefore, we propose that gut microbiota composition could affect vulnerability and disease outcomes of COVID-19.

The purpose of this study is to collect French medical data for patients with Multiple Sclerosis (MS) or NeuroMyelitis Optica (NMO) spectrum disorder who are diagnosed or strongly suspected of being infected with Covid19. The objective of this study is to provide scientific information regarding the possible risk factors in these patients, as a large part of them receive immunomodulatory or immunosuppressive treatments. The main objective of this study is thus to determine the epidemiological (eg, age, form of disease, disability) and pharmacological (related to immunomodulatory or immunosuppressive treatments) factors favoring the occurrence of a severe form of Covid-19 in MS and NMO patients.

The purpose of this research study is to learn about the safety and efficacy of human umbilical cord derived Mesenchymal Stem Cells (UC-MSC) for treatment of COVID-19 Patients with Severe Complications of Acute Lung Injury/Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome (ALI/ARDS).

Participants will be randomized in a 1:1 ratio to receive Colchicine plus current care per UCLA treating physicians versus current care per UCLA treating physicians alone (control arm). Importantly, this adaptive trial design allows for patients in either study arm to receive other investigational drugs for COVID-19 as new science emerges.

"For 12 years, the odontology service of the Pitié-Salpêtrière hospital group (GHPS) has been responsible for day and night dental emergency care. Several surveys have been conducted in order to analyze the sociological characteristics of the patients and the typology of the acts performed. These studies indicate that pain is the main reason for consultations, cited by 60 to 80% of patients. So far, very few studies have been done in the context of emergencies. Very recently, a study was undertaken on the satisfaction of patients consulting the odontological emergencies of the GHPS, during a thesis work. This study, carried out in collaboration with the URC Pitié Salpêtrière, under analysis, relates to the satisfaction of patients consulting the odontological emergencies of the GHPS during the day and week, Monday to Friday, excluding night and week emergencies -end (WE). An additional study (URGDENT-NW) aiming at completing this study by focusing on patients consulting the emergency room at night and during the weekend is also in progress. The COVID19 Crisis changed the organization and the venue of patients at the emergency dental service. Therefore this project, based on the same protocol as URGENT and URGDENT-WE, aims at evaluating the Odontology Emergency Reception Service (SAUO) during the COVID 19 epidemy. It will be carried out in the form of a survey whose objective is to assess: on the one hand, the effectiveness of the care provided in this emergency functional unit, and on the other hand the satisfaction of the patients after their passage to the emergency room ."

To test if the medication Hydroxychloroquine will decrease the amount of virus(as measured by PCR) , 7 days after initiation of therapy compared to control patients receiving placebo. The study design is a randomized (5 days of medication v. 5 days of placebo) clinical trial initiated immediately after diagnosis in ambulatory health care workers at University of South Alabama Health, or in ambulatory USA patients. At 7 days after enrollment another nasopharyngeal swab will be taken to measure if the virus is still present. At 10 weeks we will measure immunity from Covid-19 using a single blood sample. It is a phase 2/3 clinical trial.
