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.

A randomized, parallel-group treatment, quadruple masked, two-arm study to assess the effectiveness of cod liver oil compared to placebo in the prevention of Covid-19 and airway infections in healthy adults. In this study, the investigators will investigate whether daily cod liver oil can prevent Covid-19 infections and reduce the severity of such infections. The investigators will also examine whether cod liver oil prevents other airway infections in healthy adults.

Severe SARS-CoV-2 disease is characterized by a progressive hypoxemic respiratory failure. Autopsies from these patients show severe endothelial damage with extensive vascular thrombosis, microangiopathy, and occlusion of alveolar capillaries and, finally, evidence of new vessel growth through intussusceptive angiogenesis. This research aims to study endothelial damage and angiogenesis biomarkers and its association with major cardiovascular events.

The coronavirus disease (COVID-19) epidemic represents a major therapeutic challenge. The highly contagious severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-COV-2) and the long duration of the disease have led to a massive influx of patients admitted in health services and intensive care units. To current knowledge, there is no treatment yet that that can prevent infection from SARS-COV-2 virus, nor the disease progression to a severe form. Daily active smokers are rare among outpatients or hospitalized COVID-19 patients. Several arguments suggest that nicotine could be responsible for this protective effect thank to the nicotinic acetylcholine receptor (nAChR). Based on epidemiological data and experimental data from scientific literature, we hypothesize that nicotine could inhibit the penetration and spread of the virus and improve the management of COVID19 , particularly in hospitalized patients to prevent adverse outcomes (death, transfer to intensive care unit, care limitation, mechanical ventilation an high flow oxygen).

COVID-19 is a viral respiratory and systemic disease that has been rapidly spreading globally since the first cases were reported in December 2019 and has now become pandemic. The causative agent of COVID-19 was identified as a novel coronavirus named severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2, first designated as 2019-nCoV). The disease manifestations of COVID-19 can range from mild, self-resolving respiratory disease to severe pneumonia, ARDS, multiorgan failure, and ultimately death. In early reports, the mortality rate among patients admitted to hospital and with confirmed SARS-CoV-2 infection was reported to be between 4 and 15%. Although the disease can afflict all age groups, elderly patients and patients with underlying comorbidities such as high body mass index, hypertension, diabetes, cardiovascular disease, or cerebrovascular disease are at risk of developing severe disease and dying. There are currently no etiologic treatments for COVID-19, and efforts are underway to identify therapeutics that could be effective in controlling this disease.

The objective of the study is to identify socio-demographic factors, behaviors and practices associated with infection with SARS-CoV-2 to help determine where and how patients mostly get infected with SARS-CoV-2. It is a case-control study including : - cases identified by the nationwide system of positive SARS-CoV-2 tests (COVID-19 diagnosis information system, SIDEP) (currently limited to qRT-PCR) and invited to participate by the National Health Insurance (CNAM) which hosts the data from the nationwide test system; - controls included via Ipsos, a polling institute with access to personal data from a panel from which they will include controls matched on age (divided into 10-year categories), gender and geographic area (departement); - cases will be offered to invite a person they live with to participate in the study offering another case-control analysis inside a household. These participants will be required to report the result of the test as recommended by contact tracing guidelines to determine whether they are cases or controls. Data will be collected via a self-administered online questionnaire. Some of the participants will be called for a complementary telephone questionnaire to measure reliability of online retrieved data and explore more specific aspects of SARS-CoV-2 transmission.

Currently, there are few approved treatments for COVID-19, antiretroviral (remdesivir) and corticoids. With about 15% of COVID-19 patients suffering from severe disease health system will be overwhelmed. Treatments approaches to inhibit viral replication (antiretroviral and extended spectrum antiviral drugs), such as Remdesivir and Hydroxychloroquine are being used. In severe cases, by CT scans investigators are able to observe that these patients seem to be dying with fibrosis and lung vasculitis. It is hypothesised that targeting vasculitis and lung inflammation secondary to the viral infection may help patients' survival (reducing mortality) and/or decrease time in mechanical ventilators. It is proposed a 4-arm trial, converted to 2 after interim analysis (60 patients for the initial phase, sample size recalculation after initial analysis and 2 arms beyond). In initial phase, IL-6 indirect inhibitor (colchicine), in first arm; IL-17 inhibitor, an innovative target never tested (at this moment) in COVID-19 severe patients, in second study arm. Both approaches (indirect IL-6 and Il-17) are related to modulation of inflammatory immune response. Finally, in third arm, IL-2 low dose. This cytokine was identified as Treg upregulation. Treg levels decrease in hepatitis C virus (HCV) associated vasculitis and increase in vasculitis resolution. In fourth arm, control group, standard of care. Initially, for the first 60 included patients, the study will comprise 4 arms (15 patients per arm, randomization ratio 1:1:1:1). An interim effectiveness and safety analysis at this point will guide the selection of one single treatment strategy (adaptative study) to be carried on after that, comparatively with the control group. The multi-site trial planned enrollment duration of 4-6 months and for each participant will be approximately 4 weeks. This trial will bring complementary data to the global effort in COVID-19 cases resolution.
