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.

It is unknown whether malaria or malaria treatment affects COVID-19 severity, immune responses to SARS-CoV-2 virus, or viral loads and/or duration of shedding and therewith the onwards spread of SARS-COV-2. An observational cohort study will be conducted in 708 newly diagnosed COVID-19 patient of all ages in western Kenya and Burkina-Faso. They will be enrolled in hospitals with COVID-19 testing facilities from a source population screened for SARS-CoV-2 (N~4,720). Approximately 142 of the 708 COVID-19 patients are expected to be co-infected with malaria. They will be enrolled in the nested malaria treatment trial and randomized to receive 3-days of artemether-lumefantrine (the current standard of care) or pyronaridine-artesunate, a highly effective antimalarial with known antiviral properties against SARS-CoV-2 in-vitro, that is newly registered and being rolled out in Africa. Disease progression will be assessed and nasal swabs and blood samples will be taken during home/clinic visits on days 1, 3, 7, 14, 21, 28, and 42. Patients self-isolating will be phoned daily in between scheduled visits for the first 14 days to assess signs and symptoms. Hospitalisation, self-isolation and home-based care will follow national guidelines. The WHO clinical progression scale and FLU-PRO plus scales will be used to compare disease progression between COVID-19 patients with and without malaria, and by malaria. Other endpoints include seroconversion/reversion rates, chemokine/cytokine responses, T and B cell responses, viral load and duration of viral carriage. Infection prevention and control (IPC), including the use of personal protection equipment (PPE), and measures for patient transport will follow national guidelines in each country. Written informed consent/assent will be sought. The study is anticipated to start in January 2021 and last for approximately 18 months.

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.

COVID-19 pandemic is currently affecting the globe. To date, there is no effective oral therapy against SARS-CoV2 infection. The investigators propose to test as a repurposing drug combination, a short course of tenofovir disoproxil and emtricitabine (TDF/FTC), as a proof-of-concept randomized open-label study to test its viral efficacy against SARS-CoV2.

The pandemic caused by SARS-CoV-2 is a global emergency present in 6 continents including 66 countries, incurring a shortage of effective and safe therapeutic alternatives that can contribute to reducing the risk of contamination, as well as helping to reduce the viral load of the positive patient. This requires a coordinated, effective and immediate action on the part of governments, companies, academic entities and even at the individual level. In the search for new therapeutic and prevention alternatives, the application of hypochlorous acid (HClO) to the nasal mucosa is proposed, a broad-spectrum and fast-acting antimicrobial solution, whose safety has been proven in preclinical trials. The efficacy of HClO has been tested against enveloped and non-enveloped viruses, reducing virus particles without affecting human cells. This solution could contribute to reducing the viral load and the risk of contamination of patients and professionals. This could have an impact on controlling the COVID-19 pandemic.

Adult female and male patients, hospitalized with Covid-19 infection (confirmed by reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction [RT-PCR]), will be screened for participation in this prospective, multi-center, double-blind, randomised, placebo-controlled trial. Enrolled patients will be randomized (1:1) into 2 treatment groups: Group 1 will receive the active treatment with Amizon® Max (international nonproprietary name enisamium iodide), one capsule (each containing 500 mg of enisamium iodide) 4 times daily every 6 hours for 7 days; patients in treatment Group 2 will receive a matching placebo capsule, 4 times daily every 6 hours for 7 days. Patient observation and follow-up are planned for 29 days, unless discharged before Day 29. The effect of treatment on Covid-19 will be evaluated by time from day of randomization to an increase of at least two points (from the status at randomization) on the severity rating scale (SR), the Time to Clinical Recovery (TTCR) of main Covid-19 symptoms / complications and the Sum of Severity Rating from Day 2 to Day 15 (SSR-15). Safety and tolerability of the study drug will be evaluated based on the intensity and course of adverse events (Es). Enisamium iodide is an antiviral small molecule. Enisamium inhibits replication of alpha- and beta- coronaviruses (human coronavirus NL63 and SARS-CoV-2, respectively) and influenza virus A and B. Mechanism of action against SARS-CoV-2 includes the direct inhibition of the viral RNA polymerase.
