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.

Impact of Covid-19 Restrictive Measure on Anxiety, Depression and PTSD for Relatives of ICU Patients
To limit the pandemic Covid-19 infection, the French government imposed a closure of all Intensive Care Unit (ICU). The family's visitations are prohibited during active Covid -19 pandemic in 2020 and in 2021. This restrictive visit policy could result in an increase in symptoms of anxiety, depression or post-traumatic stress disorder for relatives of ICU patients. The aim of this study is to compare symptoms of anxiety, depression or post-traumatic stress for relatives of ICU patients during Covid period with those during no Covid period (2020 and 2021) with those no Covid period (2022)
Nordsjaellands Hospital
This is a randomized controlled trial of isolated patients with diabetes admitted to Nordsjællands Hospital with or without COVID-19-pneumonia. A continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) based system with transmission of glucose data to a central system is used for remote monitoring of glucose levels and compared to standard finger-prick glucose. Blinded (to patients) CGM is mounted in the finger-prick group.

Resident cells of human adipose tissue express ACE2 and DPP4, receptors for SARS-Cov2. The hypothesis is that the virus may enter and spread in fat depots.
Montefiore Medical Center
The central hypothesis motivating this study is that remote patient monitoring (RPM) of infectious disease patients can efficiently facilitate self-isolation. Additionally, RPM can assist in more rapid identification of patients at risk, facilitate detection of patient deterioration, and enable early interventions, all of which play a vital role in resource utilization and outcomes.

coronavirus disease 2019 related pneumonia is causing acute respiratory failure and this is the most common reason for ICU admission. We have several different way for respiratory support. HFNC is one of the new technics for oxygen support. Our main purpose to observe the effect of HFNC on coronavirus disease 2019 patients' ICU stay and mortality.

Various guidelines for endotracheal intubation (insertion of breathing tube for mechanical ventilation) of Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) patients recommend the use of videolaryngoscope (medical device used for intubation that has a camera to visualize the vocal cords between which the breathing tube will pass) over direct laryngoscope (conventionally-used medical device for intubation that depends on anesthetist's direct visualization of vocal cords). The reasons for this recommendation are to maximize the distance between the medical personnel and the patient's face during intubation to decrease the risk of viral particles transmission and to improve intubation success. For patients infected with COVID-19, Powered Air Purifying Respirator (PAPR) is recommended as an alternative to N95 masks during aerosol-generating procedures such as intubation because N95 masks may not fully protect medical personnel from viral transmission during intubation. There is no evidence to suggest that videolaryngoscope (VL) is superior to direct laryngoscope (DL) for intubation when PAPR is donned. The purpose of this study is to determine if McGrath VL is superior to DL for intubation when the anesthetist is wearing a PAPR. The investigators' hypothesis is that McGrath VL will decrease the time to intubation by 20 seconds and more compared to DL when PAPR is donned. The investigators also hope to learn if there is any difference in the difficulties encountered between the use of VL and DL.

Estimation of the prevalence and contagiousness of undocumented novel coronavirus infections is critical for understanding the overall prevalence and pandemic potential of this disease. It is estimated that 86% of all infections were undocumented [95% credible interval (CI): 82-90%] before the 23 January 2020 travel restrictions. The transmission rate of undocumented infections per person was 55% the transmission rate of documented infections (95% CI: 46-62%), yet, because of their greater numbers, undocumented infections were the source of 79% of the documented cases. Ivermectin + Carrageenan, taking advantage of their virucidal effects, are aimed at reducing the contagion.

This study aims to evaluate several of Owlstone Medical's Breath Biopsy aerosol respiratory droplet capture techniques for the detection of nCOVID-19. These are single use disposable breath capture devices with removable filters and fitted PVA strip that directly sample exhaled breath aerosols and therefore, directly sample the primary transmission route for the virus. They can be used independently and shipped for analysis for the presence of nCOVID-19 using established existing assays available in any reference lab. The trial is a non-inferiority trial comparing diagnostic accuracy of collection via face mask vs. available diagnostic procedures in standard care and will also asses the feasibility of patient use of the equipment. Subjects will be recruited at the Addenbrookes Hospital, Cambridge. Minimal patient characteristics (e.g. age, sex) are collected. Between 20 and 100 subjects with with a positive nCOVID-19 diagnosis will be sampled to obtain to address the primary study hypothesis. Due to the pre-test probability of patients being positive for nCOVID-19 is unknown we will monitor the number of sampled subjects with a positive diagnosis on a weekly basis. The clinical diagnosis of the subject based on a combination of imaging, viral diagnostics and clinical assessment will be used as the reference standard. When this number hits 100 the study will be discontinued. In total no more than 500 subjects shall be sampled in this trial.

This is a multicenter, Phase 2 study, to assess the efficacy of the treatment with convalescent plasma in patients with severe COVID-19 infection.

The prone position strategy for patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) is simple and cost-effective from the first description on its use in patients with acute respiratory failure to improve hypoxemia. Different studies have investigated its safety and efficacy in various clinical settings, demonstrating that its early use in combination with non-invasive mechanical ventilation (NIV) or high-flow oxygen therapy can reduce intubation rate and mortality in ARDS. In the Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic, high-value medicine and resource optimization are critical.
