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.

Background: Some people have allergic reactions to COVID-19 mRNA vaccines. Researchers want to learn more about these reactions to provide guidance on who can safely receive the vaccines, including a second dose in people who had a reaction to the first. Objective: To study the safety of giving a second mRNA COVID-19 vaccine dose to people who had a systemic allergic reaction to their first dose. Eligibility: People aged 16-69 who had a systemic allergic reaction to their first dose of COVID-19 vaccine. Design: Individuals who have underlying health issues may need to come to the NIH for screening tests to make sure they are safe to receive the vaccine. People who are eligible to participate in the study will be admitted to the NIH hospital and stay for at least 4 days. They will give urine samples. They will have a nasal swab SARS-CoV-2 test. They will have an intravenous line placed in each arm. They will get the study vaccine (Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 vaccine) and one dose of placebo on different days. They will have breathing tests. They may have clinical photography if they develop a rash. Participants will have 4 follow-up visits - 2 by phone and 2 in-person visits at the NIH campus . They will have allergy skin testing at one visit. Drops of different allergens or controls will be placed on their back or arm. The skin under each drop will be scratched with a tool. If the results are negative, a small amount of allergen will be injected just below the surface of their skin. Participants who have no or only a mild allergic reaction to the second dose of the vaccine may be eligible to receive a Booster dose at the NIH. Participation will last for approximately 5 months.

Unlike other respiratory viruses such as influenza and Respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV) where the child is the essential reservoir and central vector of intrafamilial contamination, the child is likely to be a small player in the transmission of Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome CoronaVirus 2 (SRAS-CoV2) infection. This study aims to describe the age category of the first contact, within 14 days before the appearance of the first symptoms of the index case in order to describe the age categories of this first contaminant, globally, in the group of children and finally in the group of adults. This work is intended to provide food for discussion and to justify the distancing and containment measures imposed on children when their isolation has a deleterious impact that has now been established for some children.
National Institutes of Health (NIH)
The purpose of this study is to test over time immunity to the COVID-19 vaccines. Adults who are receiving COVID-19 vaccines will be invited to participate.

COLUMBIA CARDS is a pilot study to understand how COVID-19 affects the heart. It is known that COVID-19 can affect the heart in different ways. COLUMBIA CARDS is studying why some COVID-19 survivors develop clinical conditions such as heart inflammation, fluid buildup, blood clots, and other cardiac problems during or after their COVID-19 illness, and why other ones do not. In this study, we will use cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) and transthoracic echocardiography (TTE) to better understand the impact of COVID-19 on the heart.

The outbreak of the novel coronavirus SARS-CoV-2 caused a health emergency of international proportions when it was declared by the World Health Organization (WHO) in January 2020. Since then, the virus has spread internationally and the WHO has classified the outbreak as a pandemic. In the context of the increasing reporting of this pandemic and the increasing governmental measures to limit or slow down the spread of SARS-CoV-2 by all means, there is so far little scientific evidence for the effects of a healthy lifestyle on the disease. The aim of this study is to compare the potential of different, possibly protective lifestyles using the example of the COVID-19 pandemic. We will conduct an online survey with 3.000 participants using mobile website technology.
Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center
The study researchers think that a medication called N-acetylcysteine can help fight the COVID-19 virus by boosting a type of cell in your immune system that attacks infections. By helping your immune system fight the virus, the researchers think that the infection will get better, which could allow the patient to be moved out of the critical care unit or go off a ventilator, or prevent them from moving into a critical care unit or going on a ventilator. The US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has approved N-acetylcysteine to treat the liver side effects resulting from an overdose of the anti-inflammatory medication Tylenol® (acetaminophen). N-acetylcysteine is also used to loosen the thick mucus in the lungs of people with cystic fibrosis or chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). This study is the first to test N-acetylcysteine in people with severe COVID-19 infections.

Since December 2019, the Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome-Coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2) pandemic has spread around the world. The people most exposed to this virus remain the healthcare personnel who are on the front line in the fight against this pandemic. Due to the delayed nature of the pandemic in Reunion island and its insular geographical situation, the study of the voluntary medical personnel will allow the investigators to establish a longitudinal follow-up of the anomalies of the lipidic balance in relation to the exposure to the SARS-Cov virus. 2. During bacterial infections, the lipid profiles are profoundly modified with very significant reductions in plasma cholesterol levels, LDL-C but especially HDL-C whose concentrations are particularly low. Lipid profiles are altered during viral infections, for example, the severity of dengue is inversely correlated with total cholesterol and LDL-C but not with HDL-C levels, according to a recent meta-analysis. The hepatitis C virus circulates in serum linked to lipoproteins rich in triglycerides and HDL can facilitate its entry into cells via Scavenger receptor class B type 1 (SRB1). Likewise, it has been shown that apoA1 can bind to the dengue virus and increase its infectivity by promoting its entry into cells, also via SRB1. At the moment, nothing is known about the lipid profiles in subjects with SARS-CoV-2. The investigator hypothesize that a drop in plasma HDL-C levels and a change in their size during infection could justify future therapeutic approaches aimed at supplementing the subjects most at risk of pulmonary complications. In a model of Pseudomonas aeruginosa pneumonia in mice, investigators have shown that the injection of reconstituted HDL allowed to limit the pulmonary inflammation and the deleterious consequences of the infection. The investigator propose to study not only the lipid profiles in subjects who are infected with SARS-CoV-2 but also the polymorphisms of genes involved in the regulation of lipoprotein levels like that of Cholesterol Ester-Transfer Protein (CETP) depending on the developed forms, symptomatic or not.
