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.

Emerging clinical details of the current SARS-CoV-2 pandemic have illustrated that there are multiple clinical presentations and outcomes of this viral infection. People with an infection have been reported to have a spectrum of disease from severe acute respiratory distress requiring ventilation, to mild respiratory or gastrointestinal symptoms and asymptomatic presentations. Mechanisms explaining the heterogeneity of host response to infection are yet to be characterised. The aim of this project is to understand the host immune response to infection with SARS-CoV-2 over time in convalescent adults, including acquired immune responses, circulating levels of immune signalling molecules, gene expression profiling in peripheral blood and to identify host genetic variants associated with disease progressions or severity. Participants will be healthcare workers who had a diagnosis of COVID-19 (confirmed by positive RT-PCR assay) more than 28 days ago and have recovered and are employed by Cwm Taf Morgannwg University health board. Samples will be processed and analysed to explore immunological, host genetic factors and virological factors that explain pathogenesis and predict outcomes of infection.

This is a prospective, randomized, single-center, open-label controlled trial, designed to compare the efficacy of two ventilation strategies (Low Tidal Volume and positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) based on the Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome (ARDS) Network low PEEP-fraction of inspired oxygen inspired oxygen fraction (FIO2) Table versus Low Driving Pressure and PEEP guided by Electrical Impedance Tomography (EIT) in reducing daily lung injury score in patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome caused by COVID-19. The two strategies incorporate different prioritizations of clinical variables. The PEEP-FIO2 table strategy aims to reduce lung overdistension, even if it requires tolerating worse gas exchange. EIT-guided strategy prioritizes mechanical stress protection, avoiding alveolar overdistension and collapse.

This is a prospective observational cohort study that will define the prevalence and incidence of CA-SARS-Cov2 infection using serological and PCR tests in a group of subjects during deconfinement. The team wishes to include approximately 1000 subjects in this study. The health crisis through containment has also created unprecedented environmental conditions with the very clear decrease in economic activities and a consequent decrease in exposure to the main air pollutants. The aim is therefore to carry out a case-control study in which each subject will be his or her own control in unexposed condition (to PM2.5, PM10, NO...) then exposed (after the recovery of economic activity and the usual levels of air pollutants) and to measure the impact of these pollutants on the immune system and epigenetic markers taking into account seasonality. The occurrence of infectious, cardiovascular, allergic and autoimmune events will then be measured according to the immunological profiles measured at inclusion.
University of Milano Bicocca
This is an observational study. The aim is to describe the natural history and clinical evolution over time of hospitalized patients affected by Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome-Coronavirus-2 (SARS-COV-2) infection, including the genetic pathology of the disease and improve therapeutic procedures.
Chinese University of Hong Kong
The objectives of this proposal are to: 1) determine the rate of SARS-CoV-2 seroconversion in unselected pregnant women in Hong Kong; 2) determine the rate of SARS-CoV-2 infection in women presenting with miscarriage and stillbirth; 3) follow the pregnancy course and perinatal outcome of confirmed COVID-19-infected pregnant cases; 4) determine the risk and characteristics of vertical transmission; and 5) evaluate the placental barrier, immune response and fetal damage in vertical transmission of SARS-CoV-2. A series of longitudinal and cross-sectional observational studies, and a laboratory-based study will be conducted to fulfil the 5 objectives.

We aim to understand the mechanism of olfactory dysfunction in COVID-19.

Currently, there is no approved treatment for COVID-19 in France, either for the acute phase, nor for the late chronic phase. the investigator suggest that nintedanib has the potential to block the development of lung fibrosis when initiated early enough to inhibit the activation of mesenchymal cells and the progression of virus-induced pulmonary fibrosis. Computerized Tomography (CT) manifestations of fibrosis or fibrous stripes are described in COVID-19 (Ye, Eur Radiol 2020). Pan et al observed fibrous stripes in 17% patients in the early phase of the disease (Pan, Eur Radiol 2020). Ye et al observed bronchiectasis in 2 patients (15.4%) and evidence of pulmonary fibrosis in 3 patients (23.7%) at HRCT performed at 4 weeks (Ye, Eur Radiol 2020). Long term data are still lacking in patients with COVID-19 and the investigators do not know how many patients will have fibrotic sequelae from the acute illness.

The COVID-19 pandemic has been characterized by high morbidity and mortality, especially in certain subgroups of patients. To date, no treatment has been shown to be effective in patients with early-onset disease and mild symptoms. Experimental studies have demonstrated a potential anti-inflammatory role of Fluvoxamine, Fluoxetine, Budesonide and Spirulin Platensis in SARS-CoV-2 infections and observational studies have suggested a reduced complications in patients with COVID-19 disease.

The purpose of the study is to describe disability following hospitalization in people of working-age surviving COVID-19.
Institut Català de la Salut
Recently, a new clinical presentation called "long covid" has been reported, for patients with symptoms lasting for more than 4 weeks from the onset of the disease. Typically, the symptoms comprise dyspnea, cough, headache, arthralgia, fever, abdominal pain, asthenia and skin manifestations This project aims to evaluate the efficacy of Montelukast in improving the quality of life associated with respiratory symptoms in patients with persistent COVID-19 symptoms. The main objective is to compare the efficacy of low-dose Montelukast versus placebo to improve respiratory symptoms in patients with persistent COVID-19 symptoms.
