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.

This study compares SARS-CoV-2 immune responses in high pretest probability swab negative hospitalized PUI patients vs. low pretest probability swab negative hospitalized APS (Asymptomatic Persons being Screened) patients to try to understand the appropriateness and safety of clinical decisions made in these patient populations based on swab results.

Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (COVID-19) poses substantial challenges for health care systems. With a vastly expanding amount of publications on COVID-19, clinicians need evidence synthesis to produce guidance for handling patients with COVID-19.

Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is an infectious disease caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), which first appeared in China, in December 2019 and is now spreading worldwide and poses a great threat to public health. In 12th July 2020, the total number of cases worldwide was about 13 million cases with case fatality rate of 4.4% and in Egypt the total cases was 81158 and case fatality rate was 4.6%. (1,2). In recent years, novel coronaviruses emerge periodically in different areas around the world. Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus (SARS-CoV) occurred in 2002, which reportedly infected 8422 people with about 10% case fatality rate (3). Middle East respiratory syndrome coronavirus (MERS-CoV) was first identified in 2012 in Saudi Arabia, bringing a total of 1401 MERS-CoV infections, and about 35% case fatality rate (1). All the infection cases and recent epidemics show that coronaviruses impose a continuous threat to human beings and the economy as they emerge unexpectedly, spread easily, and lead to catastrophic consequences. As the number of recovered patients with COVID-19 continues to be increasing, the strength and duration of immunity after infection is an important point to be studied. Moreover, understanding this issue is a critical point for controlling this epidemic as they are the key for herd immunity and for informing decisions on how and when to ease physical distancing restrictions and to be ready for other waves of the infection. There is currently no evidence if the people who have recovered from COVID-19 have antibodies and protected from a second attack of infection or future wave of this pandemic or not. Therefore, we will carry out a longitudinal study of immunity in recovered patients to assess SARS-Cov2 patients' risk for future reinfection.
Spartan Bioscience Inc.
This study will evaluate the efficacy of various sample collection methods for use with the Spartan COVID-19 System. It will compare the results from the Spartan COVID-19 System with results that are obtained using a predicate lab-based COVID-19 test that uses a nasopharyngeal swab sample. The goal is to determine which sample collection methods are most effective in capturing SARS-CoV-2 virus.

The number of COVID-19 cases has been growing exponentially, so that the industrialized economies are facing a significant shortage in the number of ventilators available to meet the demands imposed by the disease. Noninvasive ventilatory support can be valuable for certain patients, avoiding tracheal intubation and its complications. However, non-invasive techniques have a high potential to generate aerosols during their implementation, especially when masks are used in which it is virtually impossible to completely prevent air leakage and the dispersion of aerosols with viral particles. In this context, a helmet-like interface system with complete sealing and respiratory isolation of the patient's head can allow the application of ventilatory support without intubation and with safety and comfort for healthcare professionals and patients. This type of device is not accessible in Brazil, nor is it available for immediate import, requiring the development of a national product. Meanwhile, a task force under the coordination of the School of Public Health (ESP) and Fundação Cearense de Apoio à Pesquisa (FUNCAP), with support from SENAI / FIEC and the Federal Universities of Ceará (UFC) and the University of Fortaleza (UNIFOR) advanced in the development of a prototype and accessory system capable of providing airway pressurization through a helmet-type interface, which was called the Elmo System.

COVID-19 infected pregnant women is thought to have variable degrees of inflammatory response against the disease. Investigators of present study, suggested that fetuses are affected from the possible fetal inflammatory syndrome in case of maternal COVID-19. Therefore the aim of his study is to evaluate that if the cardiothymic index is affected by the maternal COVID-19 and to demonstrate any possible association of this measurement with neonatal morbidities.
Lahore General Hospital
This study will define the kinetics of IgG responses to both N and S proteins in the subjects who suffered from COVID 19 and then had recovered and those who were previously undiagnosed but were seropositive. These subjects will be followed for four months to evaluate the levels of antibodies in these people.

The aim of the study is to demonstrate the feasibility and validity of a saliva based home surveillance monitoring test for SARS-CoV-2 infection. Participants will be asked to carry out as many tests as are included in the bag they are provided, on a daily basis until they are used up.
Henry Ford Health System
The primary objective is to assess the ability of COVID-19 IgG and IgM assays to detect an immune response in COVID-19 patients in the Henry Ford Health System (HFHS), both during hospitalization and over the following 12 months.
