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 aims to evaluate the effectiveness of respiratory muscle training with COVID-19 patient, who has underlying health conditions, in order to delay or prevent them from admitting to ICU.

The study proposes to test photodisinfection (PDF) on SARS-CoV-2 in the nose. The study will use Health Canada approved Steriwave™ Nasal Decolonization (ND) in he nostril of patients infected with SARS-CoV-2. Participants are swabbed for SARS-CoV-2 before and after the PDF treatment. For the study, a small group of healthcare workers who have tested positive for SARS-CoV-2 will be included. They will not undergo the treatment but will need to swab their noses multiple times over the next 5 days. This nil group will provide the effect (if any) of swabbing SARS-CoV-2 levels in the nose.

In the context of the actual pandemia of the Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) which requires a better diagnostic strategy for the management of patients. The study of volatile organic compounds (VOC) detected in exhaled air or in sweat, is an innovative research area for respiratory diseases. The analysis of VOC can be done either by the technique of the mass spectrometry which allows the identification of each VOC in the exhaled air or by the technique of electronic nose, simpler and faster, which provides an idea of the general profile of the VOC without identifying them. The VOC have shown their interest in some situations, such as diagnostic or prognostic tool in patients followed for thoracic tumorous pathology or bronchial or pulmonary vascular diseases. Moreover, it has recently been shown that properly trained dogs would be able to detect an olfactory signature of SARS-CoV-2 infection with a specificity greater than 90%; this olfactory signature corresponds to VOCs detectable by the flair of dogs (Nosaïs-Covid19 study). Validation of the diagnostic value of VOC analyzes by non-invasive and rapid methods (electronic nose analysis or mass spectrometry; detection by the scent of dogs) for the rapid detection and early diagnosis of a SARS-CoV-2 infection warrants the performance of this clinical study.

The current pandemic situation (SRAS COV2) is an unprecedented event and a source of stress potentially aggravated by containment. The Child Revised Impact Event Scale (CRIES-13) was evaluated in children 8 years or older in survivors of traumatic events, flood, stay in intensive care, or war (Bosnia). In this study CRIES-13 will be used to determine the prevalence of precursor signs of post-traumatic stress in children aged 8 to 15 confined between March 17, 2020 and May 2020

Randomized controlled trial to analyse adjuvant therapeutic plasma exchange (TPE) in severe Covid-19 associated coagulopathy and systemic inflammation compared to current standard of care (SOC). A total of three TPEs (d1, 3, 5) will be performed in the intervention group. Primary endpoint is the reversibility of relative ADAMTS13 deficiency (indicated by the change in ADAMTS13 / VWF:Ag ratio from day 1 to 7).

The outbreak of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), which originated in Wuhan, China, has become a major concern all over the world. Convalescent plasma or immunoglobulins have been used as a last resort to improve the survival rate of patients with SARS whose condition continued to deteriorate despite treatment with pulsed methylprednisolone. Moreover, several studies showed a shorter hospital stay and lower mortality in patients treated with convalescent plasma than those who were not treated with convalescent plasma. Evidence shows that convalescent plasma from patients who have recovered from viral infections can be used effectively as a treatment of patients with active disease. To date, no specific treatment has been proven to be effective. The investigators plan to treat critical Covid-19 patients with hyperimmune plasma.

The aim of the research is to study the immune checkpoint linked to the HLA-G molecule in the dysregulation of the control of COVID-19 infection.

This study will be conducted on eighty patients of both sexes with age ranging from 35 to 45years. The will be recovered from COVID-19 infection with chest symptoms. They will be selected from Nasr city police authority hospital. They will be randomly assigned into 3 equal groups.

Since the COVID-19 pandemic began, several psychological support programs for health care workers have been implemented, especially group or individual counseling sessions delivered face-to-face or using phones and video conferencing platforms. However, there are significant barriers to the delivery of such psychological initiatives. In this context, digital interventions to improve health services and care outcomes are recommended for implementing and providing remote psychological support. Virtual reality can play a relevant role in providing psychological care to healthcare workers facing COVID-19. New commercial head-mounted display have made virtual reality accessible even to the mass audience, breaking down the barriers in the diffusion and use of this technology. Thanks to this fact, virtual reality can now be autonomously used by people and offered to provide psychological assistance remotely. Within this context, this randomized controlled study aims to investigate the efficacy of a virtual reality home-based program for diminishing stress and anxiety in a sample of Italian healthcare workers involved in the COVID-19 pandemic.

There is little information on the characteristics of airborne severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus containing aerosols, their concentration, or their infectivity.The aim was to determine airborne severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus transmission, their infectivity in different areas such as patient's room and in medical staff área.
