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 uses the AirGo band to monitor changes in tidal ventilation in spontaneously breathing patients with COVID-19 associated respiratory failure. It aims to recognize patterns of ventilation associated with worsening respiratory failure in this patient population. If successful, this study will lead to the development of new robust methods for real-time, continuous monitoring of respiratory function in patients with respiratory failure. In turn, such monitoring methods may enable improvements in the medical management of respiratory failure and timing of interventions.

The Nancy Cov-H-AKI: study is a prospective, non-randomized, monocenter study performed in patients hospitalised for either the severe or the critical form of Covid-19. The main objective of the Nancy Cov-H-AKI study is to evaluate the association of variations (from inclusion to 72H post-inclusion) of 5 blood-based cardio-vascular-renal biomarkers selected a priori, cardiac (NT-proBNP), coagulation (D-dimers), related to the renin angiotensin aldosterone system (ACE2) and renal (Penkid, and NGAL) with the appearance of acute kidney injury KDIGO grade 1 or higher OR cardiac injury in patients hospitalised for either the severe or the critical form of Covid-19

The COVID-19 global pandemic has led to a major professional and social national reorganization: professional because it involves a redeployment of medical staff and material resources, and social because it imposes prolonged containment measures on an entire population. The maxillofacial trauma activity is mainly linked to sports or leisure accidents, fights and road accidents. It seems to appear since the beginning of containment measures a significant drop in maxillofacial trauma activity at the national level, which, if it is demonstrated in a significant way in several French hospital centers, would allow to redeploy the material and human resources related to this activity on sectors in tension due to the pandemic.

Given the current lack of effective COVID-19 treatment, it is necessary to explore alternative methods to contain the spread of the infection, focusing in particular on its mode of transmission. The modes of person-to-person transmission of SARS-CoV-2 are direct transmission, such as sneezing, coughing, transmission through inhalation of small droplets, and transmission through contact, such as contact with nasal, oral and eye mucous membranes. SARS-CoV-2 can also be transmitted directly or indirectly through saliva. The use of antiviral mouthrinses may be used as adjunctive therapy.

Prospective, observational, clinical investigation of PMX cartridge use in COVID 19 patients with septic shock

Background: There are no proven therapies for COVID-19 infection. COVID-19 infects the respiratory epithelium of the lower airways, causing widespread damage via cytopathic effects, resulting in severe inflammation and Pneumonitis. High local and circulating levels of cytokines, or cytokine storm, can lead to capillary leak syndrome, progressive lung injury, respiratory failure and acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). Methods: This is a pilot randomized, controlled, uni-center study testing safety and efficacy of cytokine filtration on patients with severe ARDS. Eligible patients will be randomized to 72 hours filtration or no filtration on top of the standard treatment for ARDS. Indications for randomization are patients with moderate or severe ARDS with need of ventilation support (either invasive or non-invasive), with inflammatory markers. The primary outcome will be days on mechanical ventilation (MV) support. Secondary outcomes are 30-day mortality, ICU days, need for extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) support, duration of renal replacement therapy (RRT) and catecholamine therapies, hospital length of stay, multi-organ failure. All analysis will be done according to the intention to treat principle.

The purpose of this registry study is to investigate the effectiveness and safety of the Seraph® 100 Microbind® Affinity Blood Filter (Seraph 100) in the treatment of COVID-19 patients.

COVID-19 originated from Severe Acut Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection leads to critical condition due to hypoxemic respiratory failure with the background of viral pneumonia. Both alevolar recruitment and the subsequent optimal positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) adjustment has a pivotal role in the elimination of atelectasis developed by inflammation in the lung parenchyma The gold standard of the follow up of recruitment manoeuvre is the chest computed tomography (CT) examination. However, reduction of intrahospital transport and the exposure with healthcare workers are recommended because of the extremely virulent pathogen spreading easily by droplet infection. In this case bedside investigations have an utmost importance in the management of hygiene regulations. Electric impedance tomography (EIT) is a non-invasive, radiation free functional imaging technique easily applicable at the bedside.

The 2019-20 coronavirus disease, caused by COVID-19, is an ongoing pandemic.So far, no specific treatment has proven efficacy. Recent case series reported the use of Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) on 5 severe COVID-19 patients who developed respiratory insufficiency. HBOT mechanisms of tissue oxygenation and anti-inflammatory effect may explain these findings. The purpose of the current study is the evaluate the efficacy of HBOT in moderate-severe COVID-19 patients in a randomized controlled manner.
