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.

Although SARS-CoV-2 (Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome-associated coronavirus) due to COVID-19 evolves poorly towards ARDS (Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome) and death, there is to date no validated drug available for severe forms of COVID-19. Patients with COVID-19 undergo a drastic decrease of T lymphocytes (LT) count, while the remaining ones display an "exhausted" phenotype, due to immunosuppressive pathway activation among which the Programed cell Death 1 (PD1) receptor pathways. LT exhaustion is responsible for host anergy towards viral infection and leads to increased risk of severe forms of COVID-19. Moreover, while the number of systemic LT PD1+ correlates with poor prognosis clinical stages of COVID-19 infection, healing from COVID-19 associates with LT PD1 expression normalization. Chinese epidemiologic data identified clinical risk factors of poor clinical evolution (i.e. ARDS or death), among which is found obesity, similarly to observation previously obtained during H1N1 infection (flu virus). Obese persons display meta-inflammation and immune dysfunction, a condition similar to ageing, thus termed "Inflamm-aging", thus also used during obesity. Inflamm-aging, characterized by cytotoxic LT exhaustion and reduced NK cell (Natural Killer cell) cytotoxic function secondary to PD1 pathway activation, could contribute to the poor prognosis observed during cancer and infection in obese individuals. We hypothesize that the immunocompromised profile observed during obesity contribute to their vulnerability towards COVID-19. In cancer or certain infection diseases, NIVOLUMAB, an anti-PD1 monoclonal antibody, restores exhausted LT immunity. We thus hypothesize that NIVOLUMAB-induced immunity normalization could (i) stimulate anti-viral response also during COVID-19 infection and (ii) prevent ARDS development, which has previously been associated with low LT count concomitant with increased inflammatory cytokine production. This randomized controlled therapeutic trial, using an add-on strategy to usual standard of care, aims at demonstrating the efficacy and safety of NIVOLUMAB-induced cytotoxic LT normalization, to improve clinical outcomes in hospitalized COVID-19+ adult obese individuals with low LT, since they are at risk of poor prognosis. We postulate that NIVOLUMAB will increase the number of individuals able to stop oxygen therapy at D15

The aim of the project is to evaluate the immunological features of COVID-19 patients. Patients are recruited without any pharmacological treatments restriction. The number of samples is estimated on the basis of feasibility, that means on the maximum number of patients with COVID-19, who are expected to be able to be enrolled by the units involved. Based on the investigators' experience, gained in the onco-immunological field, considering the time and economic resources available, the investigators expect to enroll at least 80 patients.

This phase Ib/II trial studies the side effects and best dose of ibrutinib and how well it works in treating patients with COVID-19 requiring hospitalization. Ibrutinib may help improve COVID-19 symptoms by lessening the inflammatory response in the lungs, while preserving overall immune function. This may reduce the need to be on a ventilator to help with breathing.

More cases of COVID-19 pandemic are being reported daily around the world. It is highly infectious and, over 7 million people have been infected and more than 400,000 people have died globally till this date. Countries around the world are struggling to avoid the spread of this pandemic. Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) confirmed that there are no approved drugs for COVID-19 treatment. Researchers around the globe, however, are researching different medications for COVID-19 patients, including the drug Hydroxychloroquine (HCQ), which is mainly used for Rheumatoid Arthritis and Malaria. Not enough data was obtained yet to know how well all of these medications are functioning. Therefore, aim to perform a randomized placebo-controlled trial to assess the impact of these medications on COVID -19 healthcare workers exposed while treating COVID 19 patients in Qatar to avoid causality and comorbidities in healthcare workers. It is considered as a weak base. Many viruses enter the host cells via endocytosis, as a result of which they are initially taken up into an intracellular compartment that is "typically fairly acidic" whereas; Hydroxychloroquine would alter the acidity of this compartment, which can interfere with the ability of viruses to escape into the host cell and start replicating. Another hypothesis on the rationale of the Antiviral activity of HCQ, is that HCQ may also alter the ability of the virus to bind to the outside of a host cell in the first place. An interventional, double-blind, placebo-controlled randomized trial that will include participants who will be healthcare workers at risks of exposure to COVID-19 while managing patients with confirmed infection. Study will compare the safety, efficacy and effectiveness of Post Exposure Prophylaxis (PEP) use of HCQ in healthcare workers at risk of exposure to COVID-19 patients, in comparison to Placebo in Qatar.

- This clinical trial proposal is based on the FDA protocol for emergency use of convalescent plasma for treatment of COVID-19 cases, and on the WHO guidelines for use of convalescent plasma in other infectious diseases. - This Clinical trial is to be applied in Cairo University quarantine hospital. The collection, testing and storage of convalescent plasma will be done inside CUH main blood bank. The concept of this clinical trial is built on the collection of convalescent plasma from individuals who had recovered from documented infection with SARS-CoV-2, to be used for patients with- or at high risk of progression to- severe/life-threatening clinical conditions due to SARS-CoV-2 infection. An informed consent is required to join this clinical trial; patients will be transfused with one or two units of ABO compatible convalescent plasma. Those patients will be followed up and the clinical and laboratory data will be compiled, including adverse events related to the administration of convalescent plasma (CP). Other data to be collected retrospectively will include patient demographics, acute care facility resource utilization (total length of stay, days in ICU, days intubated, and survival till discharge from an acute care facility).

Background: The rapid spread and high infectivity of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV2) makes identifying an effective prophylaxis agent highly important. One of the important target populations for such intervention who are at high risk of exposure are health care workers (HCWs) who may develop disease and/or expose patients and other HCWs. Hydroxychloroquine (HCQ), currently in usage for treatment of severe Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19), has in addition to in-vitro activities of inhibition of virus replication and immunomodulation, an important role in the inhibition of pre-entry step of the virus to host cells. Such activity in the early stage of infection may play a role in prevention of disease progression. Objectives: To evaluate the effect of HCQ in prevention of clinical disease and reduction of viral shedding among HCWs following exposure to confirmed COVID-19 patients. Study design: Multi-center, randomized controlled, superiority, open label trial Setting: The study will be conducted at Rambam Health Care Campus. Eligibility: Participants eligible for inclusion will include non-pregnant adult (>18 years old) HCWs who were exposed to a confirmed case of COVID-19 without full adherence to droplet precautions. Participants will be eligible in a period no longer than 72 hours after exposure. Intervention: HCQ will be given in the intervention group in a dosage regimen of 400mg BID in the first day followed by 200mg BID for overall 10 days. Participants in the control group will receive no treatment. Treatment will be started no longer than 72 hours following exposure. Outcomes: The primary outcome will be the number of participants who develop clinical signs compatible with COVID 19 (defined in full protocol) within 14 days of exposure. Secondary outcomes will include virologically-confirmed COVID 19, disease severity (need for hospitalization, mechanical ventilation and 30-day mortality) and viral shedding duration (time between first positive PCR to last of two consecutive negative tests) for confirmed COVID 19 cases. Sample size: The trial will test for HCQ's superiority assuming a primary outcome incidence of 20% in the control group and a reduction of 50% with HCQ. The sample size required for a power of 80% (alpha 0.05) is 291 participants per each group.
