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.

COVID-19 outbreak is often lethal. Mortality has been associated with several cardio-vascular risk factors such as diabetes, obesity, hypertension and tobacco use. Other clinico-biological features predictive of mortality or transfer to Intensive Care Unit are also needed. Cases of myocarditis have also been reported with COVID-19. Cardio-vascular events have possibly been highly underestimated. The study proposes to systematically collect cardio-vascular data to study the incidence of myocarditis and coronaropathy events during COVID-19 infection.We will also assess predictive factors for transfer in Intensive Care Unit or death.

This study is expected to provide, for the first time, data on Cov2-SARS circulation in asymptomatic children and children with moderate respiratory symptoms in order to construct the severity pyramid of this novel pathogen. This information will be essential in the coming weeks to understand the dynamics of the transmission of this pathogen at the population level and to highlight the relevance of public health interventions, particularly with regard to the systematic closure of schools and childcare facilities.
University of Alberta
A randomized controlled trial in which health care workers will be randomized to either medical masks or N95 respirators when providing care to patients with COVID-19.
Washington University School of Medicine
This is a substudy of NCT04333732. The goal of this sub-study is to identify and characterize biomarkers of trained immunity by measuring, in vitro, immune responses to heterologous products, especially viral associated products, in the MMR vaccinated compared placebo groups. All participants are randomly assigned to MMR or placebo injection at baseline, followed by SARS-CoV-2 specific vaccination. Blood is drawn around 60 to 90 days after the last SARS-CoV-2 specific vaccine injection.
Strados Labs, Inc.
Listening to breath sounds with the stethoscope/auscultation is used by pulmonary physicians in conjunction with pulmonary function, signs and symptoms, oxygen saturation and diagnostic testing to admit, follow and discharge patients from hospital. Of these, only auscultation routinely ceases upon discharge from Hospital. Healthcare utilization statistics have shown that for more than a decade, readmission after discharge for an exacerbation of COPD or severe asthma (or chronic heart failure) remains a major problem. The Strados System has been designed to extend the range of lung sound recording both geographically and temporally to improve the standard of care when access to continuous monitoring has been replaced by periodic or no monitoring. The primary purpose of this study is to assess the clinical utility of the Strados System in enabling periodic recording and reviewing of breath sounds in patients with chronic respiratory diseases, either in the ICU, or in less continuously monitored settings, including after inpatient discharge.
Centre Hospitalier de Cayenne
Multicenter observational study of diagnostic test validation (Research Involving the Human Person, type 3) In addition to the diagnosis by the reference method (nasopharyngeal swab), the patient will be asked to provide a saliva sample via a salivary spit. The clinical circumstances of the diagnosis, the age of the patient, the associated terrain (diabetes, immunodepression, pregnancy) will be noted. The nasopharyngeal and saliva samples will be analyzed in Cayenne and the remaining samples will be frozen and stored at the CRB before being sent to the University Hospital of Caen for analysis and concordance verification. The expected benefits are: Possibility of repeating tests in the same person more easily due to the absence of pain and thus reduce the barriers to diagnosis and screening. Possibility of self-sampling, which could simply be sent to the laboratory, which would relieve the diagnostic sites that mobilize staff and require a fairly heavy organization. Avoid long waiting lines that can be an obstacle and lead to a renunciation of the diagnosis.

Hypoxemic acute respiratory failure is one of the main COVID-19 patients complication that lead to in intensive care hospitalization. This complication determines a variable mortality from 25 to 30%. To correct hypoxemia (often severe) is often needed non-invasive or invasive mechanical ventilation. Mechanical ventilation is not a therapeutic strategy, but it allows to extend the time-to-recovery necessary to solve COVID-19 respiratory failure cause. Calibration of ventilatory support is essential to ensure adequate time-to-recovery without contributing to onset lung and / or diaphragmatic damage. Basal diaphragmatic activity assessment, device for administering the oxygenation support choice and setting ventilatory support parameters are decisive. Ultrasound is the best method for measuring diaphragmatic work. The aim of this study is to evaluate the diaphragmatic thickening fraction in COVID-19 patients admitted to Intensive Care Unit (ICU) for acute respiratory failure and to record its function on weaning.
Badr University
The COVID-19 pandemic has presented considerable challenges to global health services and dictates almost every aspect of medical practice and policy. The menopausal transition may have significant consequences for respiratory health as COVID 19 symptoms subsides, lung function testing should be done to assess the consequences of this virus on lung health especially in menopausal woman.

Co-Sér: Serological Analysis and Viral Neutralization in People With a Documented COVID-19 Infection
In light of the current coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic, the investigators want to better study the immunological characteristics of Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome-Coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV2) infections in adults. The investigators invite volunteers to participate in a clinical study to better understand what happens after an infection with SARS-CoV2. By collecting and analysing blood samples of people that were infected, the investigators want to evaluate whether or not the participants had an adaptive immune response with the producting of immunoglobulin. The investigators will evaluate the quality of the antibodies and their neutralising capacity. In a selected patient group with strong antibody response, the investigators will try to reproduce them in the lab after the collection of a larger blood sample (max 72 mL) of, in case of insufficient B-cells, a leucapheresis (after consent of the patient). These antibodies can be used in clinical trials to evaluate whether the investigators can cure patients faster or prevent disease by the utilisation of these antibodies. Aside from the aforementioned information the investigators will also collect clinical data such as: demographic information, medical history, routine lab results, radiographic imaging and medication use. After the completion of the study, the samples will be stored for 30 years with consent of the participants.
