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.

The current COVID-19 pandemic, this is especially since the transmission of SARS-CoV-2 is thought to occur mainly through respiratory droplets generated by coughing and sneezing, by direct contact with contaminated surfaces and because in a large number of patients COVID-19 disease may be asymptomatic. As recommended by the CDC medical personnel should be equipped with full personal protective equipment (PPE) for AGP in contact with suspected/confirmed COVID-19 patient. Therefore, it is reasonable to search for the most effective methods of intravascular access in those conditions.

Background Patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) might be more susceptible to Covid-19 due to the underlying disease, co-morbidities and the use of immunosuppressive drugs. The investigators hypothesize that telemedicine (TM) can be an effective mode of health-care delivery minimizing the risk of SARS-CoV-2 exposure, while maintaining disease control in these patients. Objectives The primary aim of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness to achieve remission or lupus low disease activity state (LLDAS) using TM delivered care compared to conventional in-person outpatient follow-up in SLE. The secondary objectives are to compare the patient reported outcomes and cost between the two modes of health care delivery. Study design This is a 12-months single centered pragmatic randomized controlled study. A total of 150 enrolled patients with SLE being followed at the Prince of Wales Hospital rheumatology clinics will be randomized to either TM (TM group) or standard care (SC group) in a 1:1 ratio. Patients in the TM group will receive scheduled follow-ups via videoconferencing using a custom-made mobile app. SC group patients will continue conventional standard in-person outpatient care. The disease and patient reported outcomes as well as the health care related costs will be compared. Expected outcomes Data from this study will support the notion that TM based care is as effective as conventional in-person care in achieving disease remission or LLDAS, as well as addressing psychosocial implications to ensure the best possible care for our patients in a cost-effective manner during this pandemic.

This is a randomized, blinded phase 2 trial that will assess the efficacy and safety of anti-SARS-CoV-2 convalescent plasma in hospitalized patients with acute respiratory symptoms requiring oxygen supplementation.

Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) is the cause of the current pandemic of coronavirus disease (COVID-19) that can lead to respiratory failure requiring oxygen therapy. Some patients develop acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) and may die despite intensive care therapy. Currently it is unknown a) how fast patients recover after being discharged from hospital and b) what underlying predictors may influence recovery.

The prone position during mechanical ventilation in patients with Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome (ARDS) is able to improve oxygenation and thus reduce mortality. The objective of the study is to evaluate the ability of the prone position to increase the oxygenation of the patient with SARS-cov-2 pneumonia.
Fondazione Policlinico Universitario Agostino Gemelli IRCCS
The patients enrolled in this study will be all patients entering triage with suspicion of SARS-CoV2. Planned activities are required by the nasopharyngeal swab in parallel with the analysis of the conjunctival swab to identify new potential alternative and equally effective diagnostic pathways. Simultaneously systemic data (as Pulmonary images, hematological parameters etc.) will be collected to observe a possible correlation between conjunctival swab positivity and systemic impairment.

Italy was the first European country affected by a severe outbreak of the Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome - CoronaVirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2) epidemic emerged from Wuhan region (China), with a high morbidity and mortality associated with the disease. In light of its pandemic spread and the very limited therapeutic options, COronaVIrus Disease 19 (COVID-19) is considered an unprecedented global health challenge. Therefore, the evaluation of new resources, designed in the first instance for other pathologies but potentially active against COVID-19, represents a priority in clinical research. This is an interventional, non-pharmacological, open, randomized, prospective, non-profit study on the adjuvant use of oxygen ozone therapy plus probiotic supplementation in the early control of disease progression in patients with COVID-19. Contextually, all patients are treated with the current standard of care on the basis of the interim guidelines of the Italian Society of Infectious and Tropical Diseases. The main purpose of the study is to evaluate the effectiveness of an ozone therapy-based intervention (accompanied by supplementation with probiotics) in containing the progression of COVID-19 and in preventing the need for hospitalization in intensive care units.
