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.

There is an urgent need to understand the outcomes of COVID-19 infected patients who undergo surgery, specially vascular surgery. Capturing real-world data and sharing Spanish national experience will inform the management of this complex group of patients who undergo surgery throughout the COVID-19 pandemic, improving their clinical care. The global community has recognised that rapid dissemination and completion of studies in COVID-19 infected patients is a high priority, so we encourage all stakeholders (local investigators, ethics committees, IRBs) to work as quickly as possible to approve this project. This investigator-led, non-commercial, non-interventional study is extremely low risk, or even zero risk. This study does not collect any patient identifiable information (including no dates) and data will not be analysed at hospital-level.
Charite University, Berlin, Germany
The study aims to systematically examine various aspects of the anxiety associated with the COVID-19 pandemic in Germany. The data collection is carried out online with longitudinal repeated measurements.

The process by which neutrophils expel DNA together with various proteins to the outside, forming a network structure called Neutrophil Extracellular Traps (NETs) constitutes a particular cell death that involves the destruction of the nuclear membrane before the plasmatic one. This process is called NETosis and differs from other known forms of cell death, such as necrosis and apoptosis. This process, however, if exaggerated, brings local or systemic damage. Viruses are known for their ability to evade the body's immune response. Only recently has it been seen that they can act as triggers for NETosis process. In fact, many viruses can stimulate neutrophils to produce NETs. Virus-induced NETs can begin to circulate in an uncontrolled manner, leading to an extreme systemic response of the body with the production of immunocomplexes, cytokines, Interferon I etc. To date, there are no data in the literature on the role of NETs in Covid-19 infection, a viral infection that leads to highly lethal interstitial pneumonia and for which there is currently no vaccine or specific therapy. Advanced forms of Covid-19 are often characterized by hyperinflammation ("cytokine storm") with the development of an ARDS-like condition. Furthermore, reports of micro and macro thrombotic phenomena such as microangiopathy, pulmonary embolism (which has led to a careful evaluation procedure for antithrombotic prophylaxis and/or coagulation in Covid-19 patients) are increasingly frequent. The primary objective of the study is to understand if NETs can be implicated in the response to Covid-19 and by which mechanisms. Concrete therapeutic proposals could derive from the knowledge and enhancement of this form of innate immunity. To do this, it will be necessary to evaluate the activity of NETosis in Covid-19 patients and evaluate whether the clinical course of the disease (worsening vs healing) determines the degree of NETosis activity. Therefore, the association between mortality from Covid-19/survival and NETs activity will be studied. Secondary objectives concern the possibility of studying the associations among NETosis markers and blood inflammation markers and among NETosis markers and the onset of peripheral or deep vein thrombosis. Finally, the possibility that the plasma deriving from Covid-19 patients could trigger the NETosis process in vitro will be evaluated.
University of Cambridge
Cardiovascular involvement in coronavirus disease-2019 (COVID-19) encompasses a wide range of vascular and myocardial pathologies, including both acute and long-term sequelae. The MIIC-MI study aims to investigate mechanisms of cardiac injury in COVID-19 using multi-modality imaging and immunophenotyping to better understand the link with adverse patient outcomes.
Institut National de la Santé Et de la Recherche Médicale, France
The main objective of this multicenter cohort study is to determine the degree of COVID19 infection immunization of a population of psychiatric patients. The secondary objective of this cohort follow-up is to: 1. Clinically characterize COVID patients who are positive for serological testing 2. Assess the socio-demographic, clinical and psychotropic determinants of a COVID diagnosis 3. Immunologically characterize COVID patients who are positive for serological testing 4. Exploring the links between susceptibility to COVID19 and erythrocytic blood groups
Center for Integrated Care
The purpose of the study is to design and execute a prospective, longitudinal, descriptive cohort study in a pragmatic clinical practice for adults with symptoms that may be related to COVID-19.
Oslo University Hospital
Oslo University Hospital has initiated an observational study on hospitalised patients with confirmed COVID-19, the infection caused by Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus type 2 (SARS-CoV-2).
University of Khartoum
To study the efficacy of Gum Arabic as an immuno modulator and anti-inflammatory agent among COVID 19 seropositive patients..Half of participants will receive Gum Arabic and the other half will receive placebo
Centre Hospitalier Saint Joseph Saint Luc de Lyon
A seroconversion test for SARS-Cov-2 will be offered to all the employees of a care institution, which has treated 240 patients hospitalized for COVID disease between 28/02 and 30/04/2020. The seroconversion test will be with a questionnaire to determine: - whether the subject has shown signs of infection in the last 3 recent months - if the subject has been in contact with COVID-diagnosed subjects (RT-PCR diagnosis or scanner) outside of the activity or within the professional activity (patient or colleague) - Working conditions during the period - The level of knowledge and respect of the barrier measures practices. - Respect for distance during meals professional. Overall seroprevalence and stratified seroprevalence by care and administrative areas will be determined.
