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.

To determine if a reduction of pneumonic inflammation occurs after treatment with Low-Level Laser Therapy (LLLT) applying red-light technology in the respiratory system of COVID-19 patients suffering from acute viral pneumonia.

Over 3 million teenagers in the USA have depression, and rates of depression and suicide are sharply increasing. Teenage depression has far-reaching consequences including impairments in academic and work performance and social and family relationships, substance abuse, and worsening of other health conditions, which can persist into adulthood. Access to mental health care for teenagers is limited due to a shortage of mental health providers and many teenagers and parents are reluctant to take antidepressants. COVID-19 and mandated physical and social distancing is expected to increase rates of teenage depression, and further limit access to traditional methods of care (e.g. psychotherapy). This highlights an urgent need to develop accessible, digital treatments for teenage depression to address the serious mental health impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic. This fully virtual study (https://www.limbix.com/spark) will compare the relative safety, effectiveness, and engagement of a mobile application based on cognitive behavioral therapy and behavioral activation (Limbix Spark), focusing on the idea that engaging in behaviors that are rewarding or provide a sense of mastery can be effective in reducing symptoms of depression. Limbix Spark will be compared to a mobile app containing educational material about depression (Psychoeducation).

A) Comparing the % of change in each clearances of pro-, and anti-inflammatory mediators (cytokine, chemokines and complement) in the COVID-19 patients treated with CytoSorb as compared to the same patient population who do not receive blood purification treatment. B) Testing the Cytokinetic model by measuring cytokines in the blood stream and in the BAL to see if you can create a reverse gradient allowing a massive passage of leucocyte from the blood toward the infected lungs.

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.

The VOICE-COVID study will evaluate the concordance of screening for symptoms of COVID-19 using a voice based device (Amazon Alexa) compared to manual screening by a study coordinator for individuals entering the Cardiology/Heart Failure clinic at the McGill University Health Centre.

The primary aim of this study is to investigate the performance of Breath Biopsy RD for the detection of SARS-CoV-2 in both a clinical and at home setting.

Covid-19 also primarily affects endothelium that line up the alveoli. The resulting hypoxemia may differ from "typical" Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome (ARDS) due to maldistribution of perfusion related to the ventilation. Thus, pathophysiology of Covid-19 ARDS is different, which requires different interventions than typical ARDS. The investigators will assess whether extravascular lung water index and permeability of the alveolar capillary differs from typical ARDS with transpulmonary thermodilution (TPTD) technique. Extravascular Lung Water Index (EVLWI) and Pulmonary Vascular Permeability Index (PVPI) will be compared.
University of Wisconsin, Madison
The purpose of this research study is to evaluate and improve a rapid COVID-19 test. The test is designed to identify people who are most contagious and likely to spread the virus to others. This test will be performed at various locations in the Madison area using a mobile laboratory or standard lab space for processing. Saliva samples can be collected and processed at these locations or participants can self-collect at home and drop their samples off at designated locations for same day processing. Results of potential findings of clinical significance will be communicated to the participants by a physician with appropriate expertise on the study team. Individuals with a potential finding of clinical significance will be encouraged to self-isolate and obtain a diagnostic test at their earliest convenience. No results will be given if the test is negative. If the participant consents, advanced molecular testing such as PCR or viral sequencing can be done and results can be shared via online databases, presentations and publications along with the date, site and county of collection to help facilitate tracking the spread of the virus.

This pilot study aims to investigate the feasibility of using Hexoskin cardiorespiratory and activity data, as well as patient symptomatology, to provide an AI model for disease progression that will be at the service of the clinical team to recommend the best customized and evolving care trajectory for each patient.
Brigham and Women's Hospital
The overall objective of this investigation is to understand the patient response to a robotic platform used to facilitate telehealth triage in the emergency department during the COVID-19 pandemic. The COVID-19 pandemic has altered the manner in which emergency department triage is completed. Attempts at cohorting individuals with potential COVID-19 disease in order to prevent disease transmission to healthcare workers and minimize the use of personal protective equipment (PPE) have renewed interest in telemedical solutions as a method to triage and manage individuals with COVID-19. This investigation deploys a legged robotic platform to facilitate agile, highly mobile telemedicine to manage COVID-19 patients in the emergency department. The primary objective is to measure the patient response to interacting with these systems.
