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 COVID-19 outbreak requires a rapid re-shaping of the entire organization of the rehabilitation services. This includes the design and planning of appropriate rehabilitation settings, intervention and logistics for organizing space for patients. The aims of this study are: (a) to evaluate the feasibility of the bedside use of a novel rehabilitation device for upper limb in patients with stroke; (b) to evaluate the motor and cognitive outcomes of the treatment; (c) to validate the instrumental outcomes provided by the device.
Vanderbilt University Medical Center
Prompted by the current COVID-19 pandemic, the American Academy of Ophthalmology has recommended the use of telemedicine to continue ophthalmic care while maintaining patient and provider social distancing. As part of remote examinations, patients may be expected to perform home eye testing for visual acuity and the use of various home visual acuity charts have been proposed to provide clinicians with this vital data. However, the use of home visual acuity exams has not been validated in our patient population. This project aims to determine the efficacy and validity of measuring visual acuity at home with a printed-out ETDRS chart.
Lowell General Hospital
The aim of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of MLS laser therapy as a treatment for pulmonary complications due to COVID-19 infection.
CytoSorbents Europe GmbH
The CTC Registry collects patient-level clinical data on CytoSorb hemoadsorption provided to COVID-19 ICU patients via integration of the CytoSorb device into ECMO, CRRT, or hemoperfusion extracorporeal circuits. The intent of the registry is to gain understanding on how CytoSorb hemoadsorption provides clinical benefit to COVID-19 ICU patients.

This study will involve collection of pseudonymized data from hospital-based data reporting at multiple international sites. Collating data from a large volume of patients with COVID-19 admitted in ICU across multiple international sites will enable investigation of whether obesity is a risk factor for complicated from of SARS-CoV-2 in adult patients and whether this association is independent of other cardiometabolic risk factors.

The Corona virus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic is currently involving all parts of the world. Several risk factors for critical illness and death from the disease have been proposed. However, the observed associations between different comorbidities and chronic medications have not fully been related to the frequencies of the same comorbidities and chronic medications in age- and sex-matched controls from the general population. This is important since some of the proposed risk factors are very common in the aged who, by age alone, are more prone to a more severe course of the disease. By combining several registries, we will compare, on several comorbidities such as hypertension and diabetes and several medications such as immunosuppressant drugs and Angiotensin Converting Enzyme (ACE)-inhibitors, the first 2000 cases of COVID-19 patients receiving critical care in Sweden to a set 8000 age- and sex-matched controls.
Poitiers University Hospital
To limit Corona virus dissemination on its territory, France applied strict confinement from March 16th to May 11th. Scientific societies recommended treatment modifications and remote consultations that were applied. This study evaluates the clinical impact of these care adaptation on patients under treatment for a digestive tumor. A special focus is made on quality of life and psycho-social impact of treatment modifications on patients diagnosed with metastatic colorectal cancer and metastatic pancreatic cancer.
Odense University Hospital
The outbreak of coronavirus was categorized as a global pandemic in March 2020. The Danish government recommends social distancing during the COVID-19 pandemic. Long-term social distancing and fear of disease can lead to anxiety, depression and the feeling of loneliness. All these factors might affect the quality of life (QoL). The aim of this study is to investigate the overall QoL for patients with cancer during the COVID-19 pandemic with special focus on emotional functioning.
Changhai Hospital
In December 2019, an outbreak of pneumonia associated with a novel coronavirus named as severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARSCoV-2) was reported in Wuhan city, China, and spread exponentially throughout China and other countries in the following weeks. It is recommended that elective endoscopies should be deferred during the COVID-19 outbreak for the potential transmission between patients and medical staff in the statements of Asian Pacific Society for Digestive Endoscopy (APSDE-COVID statements). Therefore, exploring an alternative for patients with the requirements of endoscopy during the outbreak is of great importance. Herein,the investigators developed an novel non-contact magnetically-controlled capsule endoscopy (Nc-MCE) system (Figure 1) adds a remote control workstation and a audio-visual exchange system to the original well-established MCE system. This study was a open-label, prospective, randomized controlled study approved by the institutional review board of Shanghai Changhai Hospital. It was designed to evaluate the diagnostic utility, safety, feasibility and patients acceptability of Nc-MCE in patients with an indication of endoscopy, and comparing it with the result of MCE.

The Malaysian COVID-19 Anosmia Study is a nationwide multicentre observational study to investigate the prevalence and characteristics of olfactory and gustatory/taste disturbances in COVID-19 infection in Malaysia, and to evaluate the predictive value of screening for these symptoms in COVID-19 infection. This study consists of two phases: the first phase is a cross-sectional study and the second phase is a case-control study. The cross-sectional study is described here (the case-control study is described in a separate ClinicalTrials.gov record).
