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.

Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) is the cause of atypical emerging pneumonia. The clinical spectrum varies from an asymptomatic or mild illness to a serious illness with a high risk of mortality. The most severely affected patients (5%) present an acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), requiring assistance with mechanical ventilation in intensive care. In 2003, persistent lung damage was observed in a third of patients in a Singaporean cohort one year after SARS-CoV infection. A Chinese study showed that 27.3% of their SARS-CoV patients presented a decreased carbon monoxide diffusion (DLCO) and 21.5% of pulmonary fibrosis lesions. Due to the very recent emergence of SARS-CoV-2, no data is currently available of long-term outcome of these patients. However, recent publications including short-term CT monitoring suggest the genesis of fibrotic pulmonary parenchymal sequelae. In view of these data, the investigators can fear the occurrence of pulmonary sequelae in patients infected with SARS-CoV-2. It is therefore essential to evaluate the evolution of the respiratory status of the most severe patients who have had a stay in intensive care with respiratory assistance.
LumiraDx UK Limited
Evaluation of the agreement between fingerstick samples, venous blood, serum and plasma samples when using the LumiraDx SARS-CoV-2 Ab Test against the reference method, using standard qualitative comparison techniques.

This is a longitudinal study of the long-term impact of COVID-19 on the lungs. Participants will be followed over a period of up to 4 years and impacts of COVID-19 on the lungs will be measured with magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) using hyperpolarized xenon-129, pulmonary function tests, exercise capacity, computed tomography imaging and questionnaires.

COVID-19 (Coronavirus disease 2019) is a new infectious disease caused by a virus named as SARS-CoV2 (Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus-2). Although it can have a devastating effect on many organs, the respiratory tract is particularly affected. In the course of the disease, a wide clinical spectrum is observed, from flu-like illness to lung failure. Some of the patients who survived the disease continue to have problems such as shortness of breath, fatigue, decrease in walking distance, decrease in participation in daily life activities. These problems suggest that the effects on respiratory and cardiac functions continue even after the disease ends. This study was designed to demonstrate the effects and extent of COVID-19 on cardiopulmonary capacity.
Nanowear Inc.
The NanoCOAT study is a multi-center, prospective, non-randomized, feasibility, observational, non-significant risk study. The NanoCOAT study will enroll a minimum of 10 and a maximum of 100 subjects in a potential for a multi-site in order to collect data and analyze physiological and biometric trends due to Covid-19.

The purpose of this study is to characterize microvascular reactivity on the forearm muscle using non-invasive near-infrared spectroscopy in critically ill COVID-19 patients, and to correlate its alterations with 28-day mortality in ICU COVID-19 patients.
ResApp Health Limited
Decentralized clinical study designed to collect further cough sounds, self-reported symptoms, and medical treatment questionnaires from participants enrolled on the COVID-Cough Study ("Study 1"). The aim of this further data collection study ("Study 2") is to: 1. develop an understanding of changes in cough sounds associated with COVID-19 and how they alter during the disease; 2. develop an understanding of other causes of COVID-19-like symptoms and their associated cough sound patterns; and 3. gain a broader understanding of the clinical outcomes of individuals who present for COVID-19 testing.

The COVID-19 pandemic is caused by the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS CoV-2), an emerging coronavirus, which has already infected 192 million people with a case fatality rate close to 2%. About 5% of patients infected with SARS CoV-2 have a critical form with organ failure. Among critical patients admitted to intensive care, about 70% of them will require ventilatory assistance by invasive mechanical ventilation (MV) with a mortality rate of 35% and a median MV duration of 12 days. The most severe lung damage resulting from SARS CoV-2 infection is the acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). The virus infects alveolar epithelial cells and capillary endothelial cells leading to an activation of endothelium, hypercoagulability and thrombosis of pulmonary capillaries. This results in abnormal ventilation / perfusion ratios and profound hypoxemia. To date, the therapeutic management of severe SARS CoV-2 pneumonia lay on the early use of corticosteroids and Interleukin-6 (IL-6) receptor antagonist, which both reduce the need of MV and mortality. The risk factors of death in Intensive Care Unit (ICU) are: advanced age, severe obesity, coronary heart disease, active cancer, severe hypoxemia, and hepatic and renal failure on admission. Among MV patients, the death rate is doubled in those with both reduced thoracopulmonary compliance and elevated D-dimer levels. Patients with severe alveolar damage are at risk of progressing towards irreversible pulmonary fibrosis, the incidence of which still remain unknown. The diagnosis of pulmonary fibrosis is based on histology but there are some non-invasive alternative methods (serum or bronchoalveolar biomarkers, chest CT scan). We aim to assess the incidence of pulmonary fibrosis in patients with severe SARS CoV-2 related pneumonia. We will investigate the prognostic impact of fibrosis on mortality and the number of days alive free from MV at Day 90. Finally, we aim to identify risk factors of fibrosis.
Hemex Health
Gazelle COVID-19 is a fluorescent lateral flow immunoassay and accompanying Reader intended for the qualitative detection of nucleocapsid antigen from SARS-CoV-2 in nasal swab specimens from individuals who are suspected of COVID-19 by their healthcare provider within 5 days of symptom onset. The study will be conducted To obtain data to measure the positive percent agreement and negative percent agreement of the Gazelle COVID-19 Test compared to Reverse Transcriptase Polymerase Chain Reaction (RT-PCR).The study will assess Gazelle COVID-19 Test performance using dual mid-turbinate nasal swab samples. This study will primarily assess Gazelle COVID-19 Test performance on symptomatic subjects (within five days of onset of symptoms) at point of care (POC). A subset of asymptomatic subjects will be enrolled after the symptomatic subject enrollment is complete.
