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.
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.

the purpose of the study is to study the detection of SARS-Cov-2 virus in the conjunctivaof covid-19 patients and the presence or absence of conjunctivitis in these patients
Oslo University Hospital
Oslo University Hospital has initiated an observational study on hospitalised patientswith confirmed COVID-19, the infection caused by Severe Acute Respiratory SyndromeCoronavirus type 2 (SARS-CoV-2).
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 COVID19infection 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
Bernhoven Hospital
Rationale: Infection with severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus (SARS-CoV) 2could result in endothelial dysfunction with increased risk of arterial thrombotic eventsby downregulating the expression of angiotensin converting enzyme 2 (ACE2). Endothelialfunction can be easily and non-invasively determined by carotid artery reactivity (CAR)testing.Objective: To investigate the predictive value of endothelial dysfunction, measured bycarotid artery reactivity testing, for 1-year cardiovascular events in patients with pastCOVID-19 infection.Study design: A prospective observational longitudinal cohort study.Study population: Patients recovered from confirmed infection with SARS-CoV2.Main study parameters/endpoints: macrovascular endothelial function measured by carotidartery reactivity testing.
Children's Hospital Medical Center, Cincinnati
The purpose of this research study is 1) to conduct a prospective longitudinalsurveillance research trial, enrolling up to 200 CCHMC employees as they come back towork, and then following their clinical and laboratory parameters for up to 12 months;and 2) to support the ongoing development of diagnostic techniques for COVID-19. Theoverall goal is to investigate patterns of SARS-COV-2 infection, including immunologicalrecovery and genetic risk factors, among CCHMC employees to better understand how tosafely reintroduce the CCHMC work force back into their normal routines.

COVID-19 has become a global problem. There is an urgent need to improve the diagnosisand screening of patients and healthcare workers for COVID-19 in the UK. Mask basedsampling is a method of detecting SARS-COV-2 (the virus responsible for COVID-19) in thebreath of suspected COVID-19 patients or healthcare workers in the mask that they wouldwear in hospital. The investigators have previously demonstrated the utility of thismethod in other respiratory infections, such as tuberculosis.This project aims to investigate the utility of mask-based sampling is a tool for thediagnosis and quantification of COVID-19 in breath and the implications in a healthcaresetting using three cohorts of participants. Initially we will compare the amount ofCOVID-19 detected by mask sampling compared with standard nasopharyngeal swab, which isthe current gold standard test, in patients who present to hospital with COVID-19symptoms.We will address the length of time COVID-19 is breathed out by people affected by thevirus and the how infectious the virus is over time in a cohort of symptomatic healthcareworkers who are isolating at home. This will allow us to understand how long someonestays infectious for and may have the potential to inform public health measures, forinstance when healthcare workers can return to work or duration of isolation. Finally wewill investigate asymptomatic carriage of COVID-19 by different healthcare workers indifferent areas of the hospital during a screening study. This will allow us tounderstand the extent of infection amongst healthcare workers and allow us to addresshospital acquired transmission.

SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), has negativelyimpacted global health and requires more research to develop better tests and to improvedisease treatment.The purpose of this research is to aid in the testing effort by collecting samples frompeople who have been diagnosed with COVID-19 or are suspected of having COVID-19. Samplesyou provide will be used investigationally by INanoBio to develop a test to determinewhen antibodies against various SARS-CoV-2 proteins are detectable.Up to approximately 80 subjects of all ages with either a suspected or lab-confirmeddiagnosis of COVID-19 will take part in this research.
Swiss School of Public Health (SSPH+)
There is a lack of knowledge about how many children are infected with SARS-CoV-2, howoften they are asymptomatic, and how long the immunity persists.The main purpose of this study is to measure antibodies to SARS-CoV-2, symptoms, and riskfactors in a representative cohort of children and adolescents in the canton of Zurich,Switzerland, shortly after re-opening of the school system and thereafter. The study alsoinvestigates antibodies to SARS-CoV-2 in parents of the children and school personnel.
University Hospital, Toulouse
There is a pandemic in the world by COVID-19. Currently, the pharmacological curative orprophylactic treatments for this infection are not known. Recent studies have suggestedthat Hydroxy-Chloroquine could be effective in vitro and in vivo against COVID-19. Themain objective of this study is to assess in patients with autoimmune disease treatedwith long course Hydroxy-Chloroquine initiated before the pandemic COVID-19 had anindependent protective effect on the risk or the severity of infection with COVID-19.

Recent studies have shown that some individuals may be asymptomatic but continue to shedthe COVID-19 virus. These individuals may represent a population that can unknowinglytransmit the virus. Healthcare workers (HCW) may acquire COVID-19 from the community orfrom possibly infected patients. It is important to gather data with respect to this tofurther understand the prevalence of asymptomatic carriage in individuals who work inresearch facilities, offices and clinical areas of hospitals and researchfacilities/institutes since this has important implications for infection control, aswell as staff and patient safety. The purpose of this study is to test whether aproportion of these individuals may be asymptomatic shedders of the COVID-19 virus.
