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.

COVID-19 is a community acquired pneumonia caused by infection with a novel coronavirus, SARS CoV2 and is a serious condition with high mortality in hospitalised patients, for which there is no currently approved treatment other than supportive care. Urgent investigation of potential treatments for this condition is required. This protocol describes an overarching and adaptive trial designed to provide safety, pharmacokinetic (PK)/ pharmacodynamic (PD) information and exploratory biological surrogates of efficacy which may support further development and deployment of candidate therapies in larger scale trials of COVID-19 positive patients receiving normal standard of care. Given the spectrum of clinical disease, community based infected patients or hospitalised patients can be included. Products requiring parenteral administration will only be investigated in hospitalised patients. Patients will be divided into cohorts, a) community b) hospitalised patients with new changes on a chest x-ray (CXR) or a computed tomography (CT) scan or requiring supplemental oxygen and c) hospitalised requiring assisted ventilation. Participants may be recruited from all three of these cohorts, depending on the experimental therapy, its route of administration and mechanism of action. The relevant cohort(s) for any given therapy will be detailed in the therapy-specific appendix. Candidate therapies can be added to the protocol and previous candidates removed from further investigation as evidence emerges. The trial will be monitored by an independent Data Monitoring Committee (DMC) to ensure patient safety. Each candidate cohort will include a small cohort of patients randomised to candidate therapy or existing standard of care management dependent on disease stage at entry. Cohort numbers will be defined in the protocol appendices. This is a Phase IIa experimental medicine trial and as such formal sample size calculations are not appropriate.
Merck Sharp & Dohme LLC
The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the safety and tolerability of V590 versus placebo and to assess the immunogenicity of V590 on Day 28. The primary hypothesis is that at least one well-tolerated dose of V590 increases the geometric mean titers (GMTs) of anti-severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) spike serum neutralizing antibody, as measured by plaque reduction neutralization test (PRNT), compared to placebo.
Lahore General Hospital
This study will define the kinetics of IgG responses to both N and S proteins in the subjects who suffered from COVID 19 and then had recovered and those who were previously undiagnosed but were seropositive. These subjects will be followed for four months to evaluate the levels of antibodies in these people.
Istanbul Medipol University Hospital
In this study, providing access to physiotherapy applications by telerehabilitation method and the effectiveness of this application will be examined for patients who have undergone lung surgery in the early postoperative period during the pandemic process in which social isolation continues.
Children's Hospital Medical Center, Cincinnati
As the global and pandemic spread of the novel coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2, COVID-19) continues, many knowledge gaps remain with regard to the epidemiology and transmission of infection, as well as the normal immunological responses after viral exposure. Cincinnati had its first confirmed case of COVID-19 on March 14, 2020, and despite extensive shelter-in-place and social distancing efforts, community spread continues at over 150-200 new cases per week. As new residents and fellows arrive in July 2020 to Cincinnati Children's Hospital Medical Center (CCHMC), many of whom come from metropolitan areas across the country, it is imperative that investigators determine the current prevalence of infection, measure the cumulative incidence of infection over the next 12-24 months, investigate the normal antibody patterns after infection, and help elucidate what constitutes a protective immunological response. The investigators have a unique but time-limited opportunity to optimally track the epidemiology and natural history of SARS-CoV-2 infection among trainees at CCHMC, including risk factors for transmission and immunological recovery. SCREEN will investigate epidemiological and immunological features of SARS-CoV-2 virus infection within the cohort of CCHMC residents and fellows who have patient contact. By collecting and analyzing weekly serial samples for SARS-CoV-2 (nasal swab for virus by PCR) and monthly serological exposure (serum antibodies by ELISA), the investigators will determine the prevalence and cumulative incidence of infection by SARS-CoV-2; the investigators will also document the antibody responses over time and identify cases of apparent viral recrudescence or re-infection.

This protocol provides access to investigational convalescent plasma for hospitalized patients with COVID-19. Following provision of informed consent, patients will be administered around 500 mL of convalescent plasma obtained from an individual who has recovered from a documented SARS-CoV-2 infection. The study aims to evaluate the efficacy and safety of anti-SARS-CoV-2 convalescent plasma as adjunctive therapy in preventing disease progression (prevention of ICU admission) among hospitalized patients with COVID-19. Safety outcomes include serious adverse events judged to be related to convalescent plasma. Other information which will be collected includes patient demographics and clinical data which includes quick SOFA scores, ventilator-free days, ICU-free days, dialysis-free days and 28-day mortality.

Evaluation of the safety, tolerability, and pharmacokinetics of PLN-74809 in participants with acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) associated with at least severe COVID-19
National Cancer Institute (NCI)
This is a phase I trial followed by a phase II randomized trial. The purpose of phase I study is the feasibility of treating patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) related to COVID-19 infection (COVID-19) with cord blood-derived mesenchymal stem cells (MSC). The purpose of the phase II trial is to compare the effect of MSC with standard of care in these patients. MSCs are a type of stem cells that can be taken from umbilical cord blood and grown into many different cell types that can be used to treat cancer and other diseases. The MSCs being used for infusion in this trial are collected from healthy, unrelated donors and are stored and grown in a laboratory. Giving MSC infusions may help control the symptoms of COVID-19 related ARDS.
