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.

The objective of this study is to evaluate whether antifungal prophylaxis with isavuconazole can reduce the incidence of SARS-CoV-2-associated invasive aspergillosis in patients in the ICU (intensive care unit) with severe COVID-19 infection. The investigators will perform an interventional, double-blinded, randomized-controlled, multi-center study in patients with severe COVID-19 infection admitted to the ICU. Patients will be randomized to the isavuconazole prophylaxis plus standard of care (SOC) group or the placebo plus SOC group. Participants will receive isavuconazole or placebo for up to 28 days or until discharge from the hospital (whichever occurs first).

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.

The Covid-19 pandemic requires a reliable diagnosis of patients in order to take care of them in the best conditions and in the appropriate services. Moreover, the current diagnostic reference is reverse transcription by polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) on a nasopharyngeal sample taken by swab. This technique is expensive (54€) and its production time is several hours. Alternative methods are in progress, including, rapid diagnostic tests. The MEMS microfluids and nanostructures (MMN) laboratory, in partnership with the Institut Chimie Biologie Innovation (CBI) (Paris, 75005), have developed a portable test "COVIDISC", low-cost (10 €), fast (1 hour), including extraction, elution and amplification in solid medium isothermal, reverse amplification loop mediated transcription (RT-LAMP). The "lab" version has received an analytical validation on human nasopharyngeal samples with performance comparable to classic RT-PCR (sensitivity of 7 copies per μl, specificity 100%). The objective of this study is to validate the in vitro diagnostic medical device, COVIDISC, with the standard nasopharyngeal RT-PCR test.
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.

Treatment of mild COVID-19 is basically performed at an outpatient clinic, then when the symptom and clinical findings exacerbate to a moderate level, patients are admitted. There is no standard treatment for mild cases. This study will investigate whether ivermectin administration suppresses the replication of SARS-CoV-2 in mild to moderate COVID-19 by investigating the negative rate of SARS-CoV-2 PCR by a randomized controlled trial. Subjects are assigned to two groups, the placebo group, and the ivermectin group. The target number of each treatment arm is 120, a total of 240 cases. A single oral administration of 200 ㎍/kg of ivermectin or an ivermectin-free placebo will be administered on an empty stomach. Time to negativization of SARS-CoV-2 PCR as the primary endpoint with additional efficacy and safety of the process will be investigated.

The purpose of this study is to find out whether bamlanivimab is able to stop COVID-19 from getting worse. Participants with mild-to-moderate COVID-19 will receive bamlanivimab via an injection into a vein. These participants will be matched to similar COVID-19 patients who received other treatment at a local medical center. All participants will be followed to learn how their disease responds. Participation could last about 3 months and includes two required visits to the study site, with the remainder of assessments performed by phone or by medical record review.
