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.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the sensitivity and specificity of several marketed commercial or prototype test kits for antibody to SARS-CoV-2. The focus will be on rapid-format, point-of-care antibody test kits that detect both IgM and IgG antibodies to recombinant viral proteins. Note: No voluntary enrolment into this study will be conducted; all testing is to be conducted anonymously.
Wake Forest University Health Sciences
The purpose of this research is to collect information about the North Carolina community's coronavirus exposures, symptoms, and health care visits due to the virus. Participation in this study will involve completing a daily questionnaire which covers participants coronavirus illness history or symptoms, health care seeking behaviors and treatments, contact with other sick people, and for health care workers, their use of personal protective equipment.

A new coronavirus (COVID-19) highlighted at the end of 2019 in China is spreading across all continents. Most often at the origin of a mild infectious syndrome, associating benign symptoms (such as fever, cough, and headache) to different degrees, COVID-19 can cause serious pulmonary pathologies and sometimes death. Data on the consequences during pregnancy are limited. The first Chinese data published seem to show that the symptoms in pregnant women are the same as those of the general population. There are no cases of intrauterine maternal-fetal transmission, but cases of newborns infected early suggest that there could be vertical intrauterine, perpartum or neonatal transmission. Prematurity and cases of respiratory distress in newborns of infected mothers have been described. Subsequently, an in-depth analysis of cases in pregnant women and pregnancy issues are necessary in order to improve knowledge on the subject.

The effects of severe acute respiratory syndrome SARS-Cov-2 (Covid-19) on the myocardium and their role in the clinical course of infected patients are still unknown. Epidemiological studies report biological myocardial involvement in 10 to 25% of cases. The objective of this study is to cardiac phenotype using comprehensive cardiac imaging tools of patients infected with Covid 19 in order to explore the functional impact of the infection on the myocardium.

We plan to perform an observational study to evaluate the prevalence of burnout, depression and medical errors in a designated exclusive Covid-19 patients hospital in Malaysia, during the Covid-19 pandemic. We also seek to assess the relationship between burnout and depression with medical errors. The population studied will be the anaesthesiology fraternity, who are at higher risk to the nature of their work at the frontlines of the pandemic.
Institut Curie
This research proposes to study a large healthy population active for the presence of antibodies directed against the Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) virus and this over time. After verification of the inclusion criteria and information by the coordinating investigative doctor, the volunteers sign a written consent. A nurse will take blood samples under safe conditions compatible with the pandemic period and while respecting the protection of the volunteer's personal data. The blood samples will be taken at 4 times for Institute Curie and Institute Pasteur: T0 (day of inclusion), between 6 weeks and 3 months ,6 months and 12 months post-inclusion. Each blood sample consists of a collection of 5 mL of blood in a dry tube. The serum samples will be extracted and collected prospectively from the blood samples. The nasopharyngeal swabs will be performed at 3 times: , between 6 weeks and 3 months, 6 months and 12 months post-inclusion for Institute Curie staff who have had at least one of the following four criteria on the sample or questionnaire carried out at T0: - have had RT-PCR+ - and/or presence of antibodies at the 95% threshold - and/or anosmia/ageusia - and/or digestive syndrome with associated respiratory signs. In case of infection between sampling times, if the volunteer meets one of the four criteria above, a nasopharyngeal swab will be performed during the following visits. The nasopharyngeal swab shall also be proposed to volunteers not meeting the 4 above listed criteria in order to have a control group (about 100 volunteers) for future statistical analyses. If the volunteers accept, naso-pharyngeal swab shall be performed between 6 weeks and 3 months, 6 months and 12 months after inclusion. For volunteers already included at Institute Curie : in case of proved (RT-PCR+ or antigenic +) or very likely (anosmia and/or ageusia, and/or digestive syndrome with associated respiratory signs) between 2 sampling times already planned in the flow chart, blood samples and nasopharyngeal swabs shall be performed. Those shall be performed if time since last planned sampling(s) has been more than 3 weeks or if time until next sampling(s) is more than 3 weeks. The blood samplings and nasopharyngeal swabs will be performed at 4 times for Institute Pasteur personnel: at T0 (inclusion day), between 6 weeks and 3 months, at 6 months and 12 months post-inclusion

The coronavirus disease of 2019 (COVID-19) is a viral illness caused by the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV2), now deemed a pandemic by the World Health Organization. Some COVID-19 patients may develop coagulopathy which is associated with poor prognosis and high risk of thrombosis. Some patients develop severe thrombotic complications, such as pulmonary embolism, despite anti-thrombotic prophylaxis by low molecular weight heparin. The aim of this project is to evaluate modified thromboelastometry for identifying patients at high risk of thrombosis. The hypothesize is that hypofibrinolysis with increased plasma PAI-1, TAFI (thrombin-activatable fibrinolysis inhibitor ) levels in association with high thrombin generation may explain high incidence of thrombosis in this population. A simple laboratory assay, widely available in hospitals, such as thromboelastometry, might be of great clinical interest to detect Covid-19 patients with high risk of thrombosis. In order to make ROTEM more sensitive to hypofibrinolysis, exogenous t-PA will be added in the assay. The preliminary results showed that patients with Covid-19 have significant hypercoagulability detectable with ROTEM and Covid-19 patients with thrombosis have both hypercoagulability and hypofibrinolysis.
