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 protocol will serve as a platform for assessing treatments for adult patients hospitalized for medical management of COVID-19 without related serious end-organ failure. Trials will involve sites around the world strategically chosen to ensure rapid enrollment. This trial will compare hyperimmune intravenous immunoglobulin (hIVIG) with matched placebo, when added to standard of care (SOC), for preventing further disease progression and mortality related to COVID-19. SOC will include remdesivir unless it is contraindicated for an individual patient.

Plasma, the supernatant part of blood, contains a variety of different proteins, including immunoglobulins. These proteins, also called antibodies, are directed to previous foreign infecting organisms, such as virus, bacteria or parasites. Patients recovering from SARS-Cov-2 infection may develop protective antibodies which can prevent reinfection with the same agent or similar organisms with shared molecular structures. Those antibodies may be transferred to other patients through collection of such convalescent plasma from recovered donors and its transfusion to ill patients. In this research, the primary hypothesis is that those antibodies can exert passive immunization and help ameliorate symptoms from COVID-19 (Coronavirus Disease 2019), resulting in higher clinical improvement rates at day 28, especially when administered early in the infection course.

This study aims to determine if a strategy of recommending prone (on stomach) positioning of patients positive or suspected positive for coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) requiring supplemental oxygen, but not mechanically ventilated, Is feasible in the inpatient setting. This study will be performed as a pragmatic pilot clinical trial to gain information relevant to the future conduct of a larger trial.

Viral pandemics, such as HIV and SARS-Cov-V1, have shown that they can lead to acute and / or delayed neurological complications. At the actual context of the pandemic Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), neurological manifestations seem to be confirmed since in 85% of COVID-19 patients, present neurological symptoms, including anosmia, ageusia, periorbital pain, dizziness, fatigue, even moderate headache, moderate memory and/or behavioral disorders. However, these neurological manifestations are not well studied and their radiological features are not well described. It is therefore important to assess these potential neurological complications in COVID-19 patients. To the investigator knowledge, there is no previous study in the literature describing spectral brain changes in COVID + patients. Thus, the goal of this work is to describe the radiological semiology using MRI and particularly Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopic (MRS) biomarkers in the evaluation of acute and / or delayed brain damage in COVID + patients presenting a neurological manifestations that are initially related to the cranial nerves damage.

The main manifestation of COVID-19 is acute hypoxemic respiratory failure (AHRF). In patients with AHRF, the need for invasive mechanical ventilation is associated with high mortality. Prone positioning (PP) is a recommended strategy for patients with moderate to severe acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) undergoing invasive mechanical ventilation. Early PP combined with High Flow Oxygen Therapy may benefit spontaneous breathing patients with AHRF due to COVID-19 as recently reported in Jiangsu. Our hypothesis is that early PP combined with High Flow Oxygen Therapy in patients with AHRF due to COVID-19 improves oxygenation.

By using recent data on hospital attendance and COVID-19 laboratory tests, available within two NHS trusts in Nottingham and Cardiff we will enable the calculation of the risk of developing COVID-19 infection after attending an outpatient hospital appointment. This will assist in the restart planning when resuming face to face outpatient radiology appointment.

Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome-Corona Virus-2 infection results in a mild infection in most of the patients. However, 15-20% require hospitalization, and among them, 15-20% will develop acute respiratory failure, leading to their admission in Intensive Care Unit. There are no accepted predictive criteria for aggravation. Severe forms of Coronavirus induced disease-19 (COVID-19) are the consequence of endotheliopathy, and hyperinflammatory and pro-coagulant state. The Triggering Receptor Expressed on Myeloid cells-1 (TREM-1) is an immunoreceptor that acts as an amplifier of the inflammatory response. TREM-1 is expressed on myeloid and endothelial cells. Its activation leads to endothelial activation and damage, hyperinflammatory, and pro-coagulant state. TREM-1 activation is associated with poor outcome during septic shock and myocardial infarction. We here aim at investigating the relationship between TREM-1 pathway activation and clinical degradation and outcome of COVID-19 hospitalized patients.

Although the direct damage from the viruses contributes to the initiation of the disease, the cytokine storm caused by COVID-19 plays a vital role in the development of acute lung injury and adult respiratory distress syndrome. IL-6, a kind of pleiotropic cytokine, is expressed by immune cells such as DC, monocytes, macrophages, B cells, and subsets of activated T cells, as well as by non-immune cells like fibroblasts, epithelial cells, and keratinocytes

This study objective is to collect tear and blood samples from individuals with positive SARS-COV2 diagnosis and test those samples for the presence of various SARS-COV2 viral antigens and autoantibodies.

Lung ultrasound (LUS) has also been shown to be more accurate than chest x-ray in identifying pulmonary consolidation and pulmonary edema, both of which are found in patients with COVID. The investigators hypothesize implementation of LUS by hospitalists in the management of suspected or diagnosed patients with COVID-19 will reduce the need for Chest CT and chest x-ray, thereby conserving PPE, reducing risk of transmission to technicians and conserving the resources of radiology services that would otherwise be overwhelmed by patients with COVID-19 in need of chest imaging. Using the methods of implementation science, the investigators propose to respond to the urgent need for rapid implementation of LUS by hospitalists in management of adult patients hospitalized for COVID. Aim 1a: Using a rapid-cycle weekly Plan-Do-Study-Act cycle and Rapid Iterative RE-AIM, to optimize the implementation of LUS by adult hospitalists in the management of COVID-19 patients in a pilot study Aim 1b: Evaluate this pilot implementation of LUS by adult hospitalists using the Reach, Effectiveness, Adoption, Implementation, and Maintenance (RE-AIM) framework.
