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.

This study is a randomized controlled trial of an online, evidenced-based intervention (the ENHANCE program) that was modified to address the health and well-being challenges of COVID-19. Eligible participants will be randomized into the ENHANCE or Wait-List Control group over a 12-week period. ENHANCE participants will be introduced, and asked to practice, 10 evidenced-based principles and skills of happiness and well-being. Participants will complete an online survey about their health and well-being at baseline, midway (or 6 weeks), post-assessment (or at the end of the 12-week study), and 3-months following the end of the study.

Abstract Title: Randomized,open-label, controlled trial to evaluate efficacy and safety of a highly selective semipermeable membrane (AN69-Oxiris) in comparison with a selective semipermeable membrane ( standard AN69) in COVID-19 associated acute kidney injury: oXAKI-COV study Rationale: Acute kidney injury (AKI) in critically ill mechanically ventilated patients with COVID-19 disease, is present in up to 30% of this group and more than 50% of them will need renal replacement therapy in the form of continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT). Acute kidney injury in this context seems to be a marker of multiorgan dysfunction and it produces increased mortality in this population. There is a vast amount of mechanisms that lead to AKI in critically ill patients with COVID-19; however, the cytokine storm could be the strongest mechanism implicated in AKI development in individuals with continuous renal replacement therapy requirements. Therefore, blocking or reducing the cytokine storm is thought to be a therapeutic target. Highly selective semipermeable membranes (AN69-Oxiris) have been shown able to adsorb endotoxins and to eliminate inflammatory cytokines, thus representing a valuable therapeutic option in this infection. Objective: To demonstrate clinical efficacy of AN69-Oxiris membrane to reach a stable MAP, with less vasopressor dosing (at least 0.1 micrograms/kg/min) after 72h of treatment, compared to a conventional membrane (standard AN69) in critically ill patients with AKI, COVID-19 infection and requirement of continuous renal replacement therapy. Study design: Randomized,open-label, controlled trial in critically ill patients with suspected or confirmed COVID-19 disease, AKI, and criteria for continuous renal replacement therapy initiation admitted in any of the two participating institutions. Patients meeting inclusion criteria will be randomized to receive CRRT with AN69-Oxiris membrane or standard AN69 membrane during a 72h period.

Virgin Coconut Oil (VCO) contains multiple compounds which have antibacterial, antiviral, and immunomodulatory properties. The role of VCO as an antivirus to treat COVID-19 requires further studies. A previous study has investigated the used of 30 ml of VCO to healthy volunteers for a month and reported no side effect. Here the investigators conduct a pilot trial to investigate the effect of VCO towards the clinical outcomes of COVID-19 patients in Indonesia.

Coronavirus disease-2019 (COVID-19), a viral respiratory illness caused by the severe acute respiratory syndrome-coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2), has been associated with the occurrence of cardiovascular adverse events including acute myocardial injury, acute heart failure, cardiac arrhythmias, and thromboembolic disease. These complications represent an important issue in COVID-19 patients accounting for the increased morbidity and mortality of this syndrome. According to a scoping review, venous thromboembolism and stroke occurred in approximately 20% and 3% of patients, respectively, with higher frequency observed in severely ill patients admitted to intensive care units. Despite the use of pharmacological thromboprophylaxis, the thrombotic risk still remained elevated in severe COVID-19 patients, and the optimal doses and timing of anticoagulation are not yet defined. The pathogenesis of COVID-19 associated thrombosis recognizes a prominent role of endothelial damage induced by both direct viral injury and an excessive and aberrant hyper-inflammatory host immune response associated to an increase in infection-related cytokines and chemokines. The occurrence of a hypercoagulable state in COVID-19 patients associated to a profound endothelial cell activation/dysfunction can result in the pathological phenomenon of immunothrombosis. In this study, in a prospective cohort of consecutive COVID-19 hospitalized patients, an extensive characterization of the hemostatic alterations were performed, in order to: 1) clarify mechanisms underlying the coagulopathy in these patients; 2) how and to what extent the concomitant infection with SARS-CoV-2 affect this coagulopathy; and 3) identify biomarkers potentially predictive of disease outcome (i.e. any thrombotic recurrence and death).

Prone positioning is known to improve the PaO2/FiO2 ratio and reduce mortality in patients with ARDS managed in the critical care setting. Therefore, it is incorporated into regular clinical practice of managing patients with ARDS in critical care and is being used as such in the COVID-19 outbreak. Given that prone positioning is recommended by the Intensive Care Society in non-ventilated patients with COVID-19, there is an urgent need to better understand the physiological effects of prone positioning in such cases. Furthermore, the translation and applicability of such a low-cost non-invasive intervention in a wider group of patients with pneumonia not specific to covid-19 infection, is an important consideration that merits investigation. This single-centred observational study conducted at Cambridge University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust aims to improve understanding of physiological effects of prone positioning in non-ventilated patients with COVID-19 and a control group of patients with non-COVID-19 related pneumonia. The study also aims to incorporate a small subset of patients, with an approximately even spread of COVID-19 and non-COVID cases, which allows for an additional exploratory descriptive report on prone positioning over a 24-hour period. This study proposes that prone positioning improves oxygenation in non-ventilated patients with pneumonia (COVID-19 related or not) requiring supplemental oxygen managed outside of the critical care setting.

We will conduct a double arm, randomized, double-blinded placebo controlled trial of oxaloacetate for treatment of fatigue in women with a history of COVID-19 infection, resolution of the infection, and remaining fatigue that interfere with everyday activities, based on use of a standardized questionnaire to screen for impairment. Participants will receive a 6-week supply of the active or placebo and will be asked to take one capsule twice a day with water and food. They will be contacted weekly for two weeks by the study coordinator to assess for any side effects or difficulty taking the medication. They will be asked to again to complete the standardized questionnaire to screen for impairment after 2 weeks, and again at the end of the study at 6 weeks. Finally, any adverse reactions and symptoms will be evaluated once again four weeks later to ensure that any symptoms that may have been present during treatment have resolved.
