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.

With the recent worldwide outbreak of the COVID-19 infection and the huge impact it has had upon lives in the UK, it is key to increase knowledge on the impact of the virus on the body. Certain aspects of the virus' characteristics are also poorly understood: The reason behind the variation in response between individuals, and the long-term impacts of infection upon the body. It is already known from previous research that muscle-health plays an important role in health, with other illnesses known to have an impact upon muscle health. A large number of studies have investigated the relationship between muscle and health, with an increasing focus upon the impact upon the mitochondria within the muscle cells. Mitochondria are the energy-producing component of a cell and are vital not just for the muscle-cells but for the body as a whole. The researchers hope that by investigating the impact of COVID-19 infection upon human skeletal muscle, the question of why individuals have different responses to the infection and the mechanism of the longer-term impact of infection can be answered. This added knowledge will then, hopefully, be able to guide therapy targets in the future.

Subjects (125) will be randomized to one of five mouthrinses and will be asked to give a saliva sample immediately before and after a 30-60 second mouthwash. Saliva samples will be collected from subjects at 15-minute intervals thereafter up to one hour (15, 30, 45 and 60 min). The saliva will be used for RT-PCR detection of Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome CoronaVirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) and viral infectivity assays, along with quantitative cytokine and chemokine concentration (pg/mL, Luminex). Subjects will complete a short survey on the taste and experience of using the mouthwash. Peripheral blood will be collected at the end of salivary collection. Subjects, except controls, will be provided materials and oral hygiene instruction related to daily use of oral hygiene products. In the seven-day period between study visit one and study visit two, subjects will be directed to brush with Colgate toothpaste (at least twice per day) and rinse with the Colgate mouthrinse (according to on-label procedures). Controls are asked to carry out their typical oral hygiene regimen with the products they typically use. All subjects keep a daily diary of oral hygiene performance, product usage, COVID-19 symptoms and exposures. Subjects complete study visit two one week after the baseline visit during which additional salivary (1 time point, 2 mL of saliva over 5 min, no rinse) will occur and blood samples collected. each subject will undergo a periodontal exam.

This study evaluates operative and non-operative management of acute appendicitis (infection or inflammation of the appendix) and acute cholecystitis (inflammation/infection of the gallbladder) in patients with active mild to moderate COVID-19 infection. The hypothesis is that COVID+ patients with uncomplicated acute appendicitis or acute cholecystitis amendable to a laparoscopic procedure can have safe operative outcomes compared to those managed non-operatively.

The new coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2) causing COVID-19 is an RNA virus coated with a capsid and a peri-capsid crossed by glycoprotein structures. The external proteic structure, which attacks human cells, is a potential target to therapeutic interventions against virus replication in airways. Since high temperature can cause irreversible denaturation of proteins and loss of SARS CoV and SARS CoV-2 infectivity was obtained after heating at 56 ◦C for 15 and 30 min in liquid environments respectively, we designed a protocol aimed at damaging SARS-CoV-2 capsid through steam inhalation cycles. Although the ominous consequences of COVID 19 infections has directed medical attention toward solidly established medical approaches, the European Pharmacopoeia VI edition also quotes steam inhalations as a procedure to treat of respiratory diseases. Based on these suggestions we established a quasi-randomized clinical trial enrolling 200 asymptomatic or paucisymptomatic patients in whom rhino-pharyngeal-swab revealed a SARS-CoV-2 infection. The study protocol consisted of exposure of airway mucosae to humidified steam (pH 8 per NaHCO3 and hypertonic 15 g/L NaCl) through steam inhalation for at least 20 min (4 cycles of 5 min) daily, for 10 days. The objective of the study is to reduce the viral shedding using steam inhalations.

Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) (previously called 2019-nCOV acute respiratory disease) is caused by SARS-CoV-2, a positive-sense single-stranded RNA virus of the coronavirus family. The coronaviruses are largely responsible for the common cold, the 2002 SARS outbreak in Guangdong, China, the 2012 MERS outbreak in Saudi Arabia, and the present COVID-19 outbreak that originated in Wuhan, China. Much has been reported by way of systemic injury caused by COVID-19 affecting the cardiovascular, hepatic, nervous systems. These conditions are likely the result of the virus overwhelming the immune system. For these reasons, the investigators wish to conduct this study using existing medications off-label, and over-the-counter supplements to support the immune response, prevent lasting injury, and hasten the recovery from COVID-19.

The recent and unexpected occurrence of patients with the development of skin lesions on the hands and/ or feet has been described recently. As these cases occurred contemporaneously with the Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) and as it was the most often occurrence of de novo frostbites, the question raised of whether there is a direct link between the occurrence of these lesions and infection of the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) the responsible for CoVID-19. Indeed, mechanisms of these lesions and the precise correlation with Sars-CoV-2 remains poorly understood. Therefore, this study aim to: 1. Determine the possible link with this virus, 2. Understand the mechanisms involved in the pathogenesis of these lesions.

Randomized, double-blind prospective trial to test the efficacy and acceptability of therapeutic, antiseptic mouth rinses to inactivate severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2) in saliva of COVID-19 positive patients aged 18-65 years old. All mouthrinses are commercially available and will be used according to on-label instructions. Patients will be randomized to a mouthrinse and will be asked to give a saliva sample immediately before and after a one minute mouthwash. Saliva samples will be collected from patients at 15 minute intervals thereafter up to an hour (15, 30, 45 and 60 minutes). The samples will be stored and used for real-time reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) detection of viral SARS-CoV-2 RNA and viral infectivity assays. Patients will also complete a short-survey on the taste and experience of using the mouthwash. This study involves 480 subject participants and one, 75-90 minute visit.
