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.

Little is known regarding the effect of antenatal COVID-19 on pregnancy outcomes. The purpose of this study is to determine of COVID-19 alters histopathology and gene expression of the placenta, as evidenced by analysis at time of delivery. The analysis will aim to identify whether resulting abnormal placental pathology or altered metabolism is associated with severity of symptoms (specifically pneumonia, or need for admission), gestational age at onset, and/or placenta efficiency. Histological and gene expression analysis of the placental post-delivery will determine if COVID-19 alters overall placental structure, vascularization, and/or the transcriptome.

This study compares the diagnostic performance of a nasopharyngeal swab antigenic test versus the RT-PCR Covid-19 reference test performed with the AllplexTM 2019-nCoV kit (Seegene, South Korea) in symptomatic children presenting at the hospital.
Hunter College of City University of New York
This is a study of validation for diagnostic techniques used on epidemiological control in the COVID-19 pandemic. It will be carried out in accredited public, private and university clinical laboratories of the collaborator institutions of the project based in Tarija, Bolivia. It is designed as a sectional validation study, using samples from specific groups of participants from the municipality of Tarija grouped according to their category with respect to symptoms and viral load of COVID-19. The sample is selected for convenience.

The investigators hypothesize that detection of SARS-CoV2 on saliva samples will increase the performance of the screening program compared to the reference strategy (RT-PCR on a nasopharyngeal swab).
Medical University of Silesia
Project is designed as a comprehensive population-based epidemiological study in Upper-Silesian Conurbation (Poland) aiming at: 1. analysis of available data on incidence and mortality due to COVID-19 and 2. estimation of the occurrence of viral infection SARS-CoV-2 as revealed by the results of serological test (ELISA: IgM, IgG), with assessment of risk factors. The project's objectives are: to assess incidence and mortality due COVID-19 according to sex, age and coexisting diseases; to determine the level of potential "underdiagnosis" of the magnitude of COVID-19 mortality using vital statistics data for Upper-Silesian Conurbation; to assess the prevalence of SARS-CoV-2 based on the level of seropositivity in Upper-Silesian Conurbation; to identify host-related and environmental risk factors if the infection. Analysis of existing data will include monthly records on incidence and mortality over the period 01.01.2020-31.12.2020 and comparison of the findings with the monthly records of 2018 and 2019, for the same population. Cross-sectional epidemiological study will be located in three towne (Katowice, Sosnowiec, Gliwice). In each town a representative age-stratified sample of 2000 subjects will undergo questionnaire assessment and serological examination performed by serological test. The project corresponds with analogous population-based studies on COVID-19 in a number of countries and responds to the WHO recommendation in that field.

Our understanding of the clinical manifestations of COVID-19 is growing on a daily basis and there is evidence that increased age, cardiovascular risk factors and cardiac comorbidity are strongly associated with poor outcomes. Furthermore, myocardial injury occurs and is associated with a much worse outcome and rapid increase in mortality. There have been several reports of myocarditis and heart failure following infection. The mechanisms of myocardial injury and its consequences are not well understood. In an ongoing peer-reviewed and funded study, the investigators are evaluating the use of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) to characterise and to understand the mechanisms of heart failure and myocarditis. Following strong encouragement by the British Heart Foundation, the investigators now propose to extend this investigation to patients who have recovered from COVID-19 infection to understand the mechanisms of myocardial injury that they have experienced. Using gadolinium and manganese-enhanced MRI combined with Computed tomography coronary angiography (CTCA), the investigators will assess the mechanisms and direct impact of myocardial injury in patients who have recovered from COVID-19 infection. This will help the investigators understand how best to manage individuals who demonstrate evidence of myocardial injury and potentially provide insights that could lead to novel treatment interventions to reduce such injury and improve patient outcomes.

The 2019 coronavirus-induced infection (COVID-19) has caused a pandemic that has spread worldwide. Up to date, many subjects affected by the virus report important sequelae on different organs increasing morbidity and exacerbating previous pathological conditions. Mortality is also increased in cases of comorbidities such as cardiovascular disease, hypertension and diabetes. COVID-19 infection is caused by Coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2). Concerning the specific interaction of SARS-CoV-2 with the cardiovascular system, we know that this virus enters the body through the receptors for the conversion of angiotensin II (ACE2r) that are present in the lungs, heart, intestinal epithelium and vascular endothelium. This receptor's availability suggests a multi-organ involvement with a consequent multi-organ dysfunction, as found in patients affected by SARS-CoV-2 infection. Furthermore, poor vascular peripheral function -usually correlated with old age and long periods of bed rest or hypomobility- is a distinguishing characteristic of the population affected by COVID-19, as well. Thus, it is reasonable to expect that peripheral vascular function, already deteriorated by aging and common age-related diseases, can be further compromised by COVID-19 and by the forced hypomobility, typically experienced during the acute phase of the disease. The main aim of this project will be to investigate the peripheral NO-mediated vascular function in the leg of patients recovering from Covid-19 pneumonia. A significant vascular dysfunction is expected to be found in post COVID individuals and to be correlated to the relevant clinical variables.

COVID-19 outbreak is often lethal. Mortality has been associated with several cardio-vascular risk factors such as diabetes, obesity, hypertension and tobacco use. Other clinico-biological features predictive of mortality or transfer to Intensive Care Unit are also needed. Cases of myocarditis have also been reported with COVID-19. Cardio-vascular events have possibly been highly underestimated. The study proposes to systematically collect cardio-vascular data to study the incidence of myocarditis and coronaropathy events during COVID-19 infection.We will also assess predictive factors for transfer in Intensive Care Unit or death.
