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.

Since the start of 2020, the new SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus is causing a real global health crisis. In France, nasopharyngeal swabs are used to obtain the sample needed for respiratory infection screening. There are three major difficulties with this type of sampling: I) It is really unpleasant for the patient because the device has to be pushed into the nostril to reach the nasopharynx. It causes some patients to bleed or even feel uncomfortable. II) It is not easily accepted by children. III) It is dependent on the availability of swabs. Faced with these difficulties linked to the initial sampling, new methods are being studied to enable a rapid and non-invasive diagnosis of COVID-19 based on the instantaneous identification of metabolites or volatile organic compounds (VOCs). Due to their sensitivity and the wealth of information that can be provided, the most promising techniques are based on mass spectrometry coupled with a soft ionisation system. For example, on-line exhaled air analysis is capable of detecting a very large number of VOCs. Various tests on metabolites in the exhaled air have already been carried out without being totally conclusive because the existing instruments suffer from various limitations: I) poor repeatability/accuracy in the chemical characterisation of exhaled air ; II) too high specificity (detection of only part of the emitted compounds); III) too limited sensitivity; IV) and poor adaptation to be deployed in a clinic. In order to overcome these various limitations, we propose the use of a new generation of mass spectrometer: Vocus PTR-TOF. The Vocus PTR-TOF is a Proton Transfer Mass Spectrometer (PTR-MS) developed for the detection, in real time, of trace VOCs in industrial environments, laboratories or directly in the environment. This new generation of instrument offers the following advantages: I) unequalled sensitivity : II) a robust ionisation system not affected by environmental conditions (relative humidity...) ; III) a high mass resolution allowing precise identification of compounds ; IV) a compact and durable architecture allowing deployment in a constrained environment such as hospital, airport… The sensitivity and speed of measurement allow the expiration process to be monitored in real time, bringing an additional dimension to the measurement and the chances of success.
Fonds IMMUNOV
The purpose of this study is to describe the immunological and virological response of patients infected with CoV-2-SARS and presenting an asymptomatic or mildly symptomatic form, in particular the innate and adaptive response as well as the virological clearance kinetics. The research hypothesis is that patients with an ambulatory form of SARS-CoV-2 infection, whether asymptomatic or mildly symptomatic, are able to mount an innate and adaptive immunological response capable of rapidly clearing the virus, in contrast to severe forms in which an early deficit of type 1 IFN response has been demonstrated, possibly responsible for a defect in the control of viral replication in the blood.
Catalysis SL
This is a two-arm, randomized, open label, two-center, controlled study to evaluate the safety and efficacy of Viusid plus Asbrip in patients with mild and moderate symptoms of respiratory illness caused by Coronavirus 2019 infection.
Rapid Pathogen Screening
Prospective, multi-center, observational, blinded clinical trial to compare a new point of care (POC) SARS-CoV-2 IgG antibody test to a reference SARS-CoV-2 PCR test using fingerstick whole blood.
Institut National de Recherche Biomédicale. Kinshasa, République Démocratique du Congo
This is a cohort study, in which the investigators will follow-up 650 health care workers (HCW) and a selection of their households (of COVID positive and COVID negative HCW) at baseline and in three follow-up surveys, with 4 to 6 weeks of time interval. The investigators will select HCW from different wards and different health care structures in 5 communes of Kinshasa. Additionally, in the first survey among HCW, the investigators will test with different diagnostic platform to evaluate the performance of serological tests in the African setting and the effect of malaria infection on the performance of tests. An amendment is added to the protocol, stating an additional 2 surveys in april/June 2021 and October/November 2021 to evaluate impact of second wave and of vaccination campaign.
Wissenschaftliches Institut Bethanien e.V
Cross-sectional study to detect latent COVID-19 infections in residents and staff of old people's and nursing homes in the city of Solingen with a prospective follow-up of 6 months in a subgroup.
Rigshospitalet, Denmark
This project aims to investigate the sensitivity and specificity of the rapid antigen test compared to RT-PCR test performed on samples from the nasopharynx and the anterior nasal cavity and the oropharynx, respectively.
Hospital Clínico Universitario de Valladolid
We conducted a national, single center (Hospital Clínico Universitario de Valladolid, Spain, Valladolid), prospective study of patients with prior hospitalization because of COVID-19 who were admitted between March 1st, 2020, and May 15th, 2020. All eligible patients underwent at least at first-time follow-up from the index event. Exclusion criteria were age < 18 years old, pregnant women, terminally ill patients, active SARS-CoV-2 infections, inability to exercise and previous known severe pulmonary or heart disease. Patients underwent a clinical assessment for symptom burden, questionnaire for quality of life (Kansas City Cardiomyopathy Questionnaire and SF-36), venous blood sampling, 6-minute walking test (6-MWT), tests of lung function (spirometry and diffusing capacity of the lungs for carbon monoxide) and treadmill cardio-pulmonary exercise testing (CPET). 48-hours before the test of lung function and the CPET, all patients yielded a negative result in the reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) for SARS-CoV-2. For definitive analysis patients were assigned to the control group if they did not refer dyspnea at the time of the follow-up, a small asymptomatic out-patient control group without prior hospitalization was also included.
