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 primary objective of this study is to establish differences in susceptibility to SARS CoV-2 infection among health care workers (HCW) highly exposed to patients with COVID-19 diagnosis. To ascertain this issue, we evaluated: - Changes in receptor polymorphism (ACE2 and CD26 receptor study. - SARS-CoV-2 CD4/CD8 T cell response (CTL) - Different KIR phenotypes

Study of the cause of lymphopenia in Covid19 viral infection will be done in 3 cohorts. First cohort will be patients asymptomatic or with mild symptoms. Second cohort will be patients with severe illness and admitted to ICU. Third cohort will be patients critically ill and on artificial ventilation.

The objective of this study is to assess the long-term outcomes after hospital admission with Covid-19 with respect to pulmonary function, physical capacity, imaging, quality of life and socioeconomic outcomes.

Patients who receive intensive care are known to be at high risk for physical, psychological, and cognitive impairments, a constellation known as PICS. COVID-19 patients are expected to have high chances of suffering from PICS (PICS-COV) as they frequently require several weeks of intensive care and traditional PICS preventive measures are virtually impossible due to infection control precautions, prone positioning, and deprivation of social contact. To prevent PICS after ICU discharge in COVID-19 patients, physical therapy is recommended. From recent but limited experience it appears that even patients with COVID-19 who have not been admitted to the ICU can suffer from impairments in the same domains and sometimes to a similar degree of severity. Also for these patient group rehabilitation seems warranted. Yet, the resources needed to provide rehabilitation treatment to COVID-19 patients are inadequate because healthcare systems faced a shortage of high-quality treatment for these impairments already before the COVID-19 crisis emerged. Virtual Reality (VR) provides potential to healthcare practitioners to administer fast, temporary, and tailor-made rehabilitation services at a distance, and offers a solution to address the impending surge of demand for rehabilitation after COVID-19 infection. VR consists of a head mounted display (HMD) that can bring the user by computer-generated visuals into an immersive, realistic multi-sensory environment. Current VR technology is accessible, easy in use for a large audience, and safe in use. There already exist multiple VR applications for providing physical, psychological, and cognitive rehabilitation. These applications have been brought together in a VR suite for rehabilitation after COVID-19. Patients visiting a physiotherapist for rehabilitation from COVID-19 will be asked to participate in this study. They receive a VR HMD for training purposes. This study aims to understand the usability, feasibility, and tolerability of VR for rehabilitation after COVID-19, and to pilot the effectiveness of VR improving the physical ability, mental and cognitive status of patients.

The purpose of the study is to verify the sensibility and accuracy of a rapid detection test for SARS-CoV-2 in breath samples analyzed by the breath detector analyzer TeraSystem, comparing with PCR tests.

The objective of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of the Unisabana-Herons invasive mechanical ventilator designed to provide the basic ventilatory support necessary to preserve the life of patients with respiratory failure and indication of mechanical ventilation, especially for those who suffer from acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) when conventional commercial invasive ventilators are not available in the context of the health emergency due to the COVID-19 epidemic. The Unisabana-Herons ventilator allows to precisely configure the respiratory rate, tidal volume (or inspired air volume), inspiratory time, the inspiration: expiration ratio, the positive pressure at the end of expiration (PEEP), the inspired fraction of oxygen and inspiratory air flow, parameters that allow managing the respiratory failure associated with COVID-19. The ventilator also monitors peak inspiratory pressures (PIP), mean, PEEP, plateau, and graphs in real time the pressure-time, volume-time, flow-time curves, which allows detecting when one of these is at levels dangerous to induce ventilator trauma (barotrauma and volutrauma) and thus ensure effective and safe ventilation, so as to avoid ventilator-induced lung injury.

To evaluate by intravascular OCT study the presence of microvascular pulmonary thrombosis in patients with COVID-19, high D-dimer levels and contrast CT scan negative for pulmonary thrombosis. We'll also evaluate the extension of microvascular pulmonary thrombosis in patients with contrast CT scan positive for pulmonary embolism in areas where contrast CT scan was negative.
Fundación GECP
Observational, retrospective data collection and prospective IgG analysis, and multicenter study. The main objective of the study is th description of the characteristics and evolution of patients with lung cancer who have acquired COVID-19 infection. For the identification of patients who contract COVID-19 infection, the IgG+ blood test by ELISA method will be used.

The authors hypothesize that the SARS-CoV-2 virus can affect the kidneys, causing them to be damaged. The present study aims to explain the mechanisms of kidney injury in patients diagnosed with COVID-19.

Maternal-fetal transmission in the second or third trimester of pregnancy of the SARS-COV-2 virus could explain some late fetal losses. Finding a cause in the context of fetal loss is essential for parents and caregivers. It helps to understand the history of the disease, to address the possible risk of a recurrence and to plan for future pregnancies. If the maternal-fetal transmission of COVID 19 is confirmed and that it is responsible for obstetric complications, a preventive action could be proposed to the patients by the preconception vaccination. The investigators are seeking to clarify the frequency of this transmission is information awaited by caregivers, women, couples in particular when the latter are in distress from late fetal loss.
