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 purpose of the study is to evaluate the presence of early vascular aging 6 months and 12 months after COVID-19 infection.

In light of the ongoing COVID-19 epidemic in Norway, it is paramount to develop and utilize clinical tools for assessing and risk stratifying patients with suspected coronary infection in the emergency departments. Diagnostic use of ultrasound in viral pneumonias, including COVID-19 has proved to be very useful. The use of ultrasound will assist in quick detection of lung pathology compatible with increasing severity of the COVID-19 disease. At the same time, the use of ultrasound diagnostics in the emergency department could improve logistics and reduce potential exposure of the corona virus to other health personnel. The purpose of the study is to assess whether ultrasound findings correlates with physical examination, labs, and other imaging diagnostics in patients with suspected or diagnosed COVID-19 disease, as well as assessing whether ultrasound diagnostics can assist in risk stratification. The project is conducted as a prospective multicenter study where ultrasound diagnostics will be performed on patients with suspected coronary infection in the emergency departments. Data collection takes place as part of the daily clinical evaluation of acute patients in the emergency departments. The project is planned to be completed towards the end of 2025.

This is a multicenter prospective study that aims to investigate the clinical impact of SARS-CoV-2 infection in pregnant women, pregnancy outcomes and perinatal transmission.

Lower Respiratory Tract infections are a common cause of admission to the intensive care unit. Children routinely receive antibiotics until the tests confirm whether the infection is bacterial or viral. The exclusion of bacterial infection may take 48 hours or longer for culture tests on biological samples to be completed. In many cases, the results may be inconclusive or negative if the patient has already received antibiotics prior to the sample being taken. A rapid assay to detect the most likely cause of infection could improve the speed with which antibiotic therapy is rationalised or curtailed. This study aims to assess whether a new genetic testing kit which can identify the presence of bacteria and viruses within hours rather than days is a feasible tool in improving antibiotic prescribing and rationalisation of therapy in critically ill children with suspected lower respiratory tract infection.

The aim of this preliminary study is to describe the potential decline in forced expiratory volume in 1 second (FEV1) or forced vital capacity (FVC) as measured by home spirometry in high-risk subjects infected with COVID-19. We hypothesize that the magnitude of such a decline in FEV1 and/or FVC may be associated with clinical deterioration and hospitalization. The study will ultimately inform a larger subsequent RCT that will evaluate the efficacy of home spirometry in the early detection (pre respiratory symptoms) of respiratory complications and therefore prompt early medical attention which is a key for improving outcome.

The objective of our study is to carry out an evaluation of the safety and the effectiveness of the use of the MakAir respirator as useful supplement in situation of shortage of technical devices of assistance to the mechanical invasive ventilation, related to COVID-19 through a protocol in 3 successive sequences.

The aim of this project is to evaluate the impact of pandemic and nonconfinement related to anxiety and eventual immune diseases with several standardized questionnaires : Implant Stability Quotient (ISQ) , Generalized Anxiety Disorder-7 (GAD-7), Patient Health Questionnaire -9 (PHQ-9), Post Traumatic Stress Disorder-8 (PTSD-8), and Experiences in Close Relationship Scale (ECRS).

People living with HIV could have different susceptibility and outcome to the SARS CoV-2 infection. The risk of SARS CoV-2 infection in this population could be no related to HIV infection, immunodepression or antiretroviral therapy, but to the different susceptibility as measured by ACE2 or CD26 receptors. Also, patients with HIV-1 infection could have different cytokine profile and cellular immune response after SARS-CoV-2 infection, leading to a differential outcome,

In patients with SARS-CoV-2 or bacterial infection admitted to the intensive care unit (ICU), the state of the intravascular volume, the characteristics of the blood volume components, and the development of a vascular leak is currently unknown. The relationship of these parameters with parameters of cardiac performance, lung edema and sublingual microcirculatory perfusion parameters have never been studied.
