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.

Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) was first isolated in Wuhan, China in December 2019. It is rapidly spreading worldwide, posing a severe threat to global health. Many therapeutics have been investigated for the treatment of this disease with inconclusive outcomes. Anakinra - an interleukin (IL)-1 receptor antagonist - had showed survival benefits in patients with macrophage activation syndrome (MAS) and sepsis and was investigated for the use in COVID-19 infection with promising outcomes.

Wider research context: Since the recognition of SARS-CoV-2 outbreak in 2019, there are now over 126 million COVID-19 cases worldwide with more than 2.7 million deaths. Reports on neurological manifestations vary in prevalence rates (6-84%) and range from mild (headache, hyposmia, myalgia) to severe (encephalopathy, strokes, seizures). Little is known about long-term neurological outcomes of COVID-19 patients. The investigators propose a structured protocol to capture persistent and delayed neurological manifestations, neurocognitive deficits and quality of life (QoL) 3 and 12 months after COVID-19. Objectives: The investigators hypothesize that neurological manifestations and neuropsychological/cognitive deficits can be detected after COVID-19, substantially impact on patients' QoL and can be correlated with structural neuroimaging findings. Main objectives are to assess firstly long-term prevalence rates and natural history of neurological manifestations, secondly neuropsychological/cognitive deficits after COVID-19, thirdly the impact of COVID-19 on measures of mental health, QoL and functional outcome, fourthly to correlate neurological manifestations and distinct neurocognitive deficits with structural MRI abnormalities, and Fifthly to compare these results to age- and sex matched controls hospitalized with pneumonia (Cpneum) and to healthy controls for MRI-data (Chealthy). Approach: The investigators aim to enrol at least 225 patients with COVID-19, in addition to 50 Cpneum and 80 Chealthy. COVID-19 patients will include (group Oóne) outpatients presenting to the hospital, (group two) in-patients not requiring ICU admission, and (group three) patients admitted to the ICU. The investigators will not include asymptomatic patients, patients not presenting to the hospital, and those who do not consent to participate. The standardized protocol includes a firstly a structured neurological examination, secondly olfactory testing, thirdly assessment of QoL, mental health and functional outcome at 3 and 12 months, and fourthly screening for cognitive deficits (at 3 months) and a structured neuropsychological testing (at 12 months) in COVID-19 patients and controls. In a subset of at least 120 COVID-19 patients and 50 controls (Cpneum) high field MRI will be performed at 3 and 12 months. Innovation: The investigators aim to quantify COVID-19 related and specific neurological manifestations and their impact on the individual health condition. The novelty lies in the prospective design, the longitudinal follow-up including and the inclusion of a control group which allows us to explore the natural history of COVID-19 related neurological manifestations. Preliminary analysis of our ongoing 3-month follow-up suggests persistent neurological manifestations and a significant impact of COVID-19 on mental health, cognition and QoL. The investigators believe that our study results likely influence the long-term care of COVID-19 patients and help to identify those, who need further neuro-rehabilitative support
American Dental Hygienists Association
As dental practices reopen their practices during a global pandemic, the risk of 2019 novel coronavirus (COVID-19) infection that dental hygienists face in providing dental care remains unknown. Estimating the occupational risk of COVID-19, and producing evidence on the types of infection control practices and dental practices that may affect COVID-19 risk, is therefore imperative. These findings could be used to describe the prevalence and incidence of COVID-19 among dental hygienists, determine what infection control steps dental hygienists take over time, describe dental hygienists' employment during the COVID-19 pandemic, and estimate whether infection control adherence in dental practice is related to COVID-19 incidence.
The Royal Wolverhampton Hospitals NHS Trust
The COVID-19 pandemic represents a threat to rheumatology patients. National advice for patients to 'shield' is based on risk stratification of therapies and other risk factors. While the epidemiology of COVID-19 in the rheumatological population is largely unknown large case registries are beginning to show potential drug treatment interactions. Strict self-isolation (shielding) has been recommended for those deemed 'high risk' although its impact on the likelihood of COVID-19 infection and health related quality of life (HRQoL) is unclear. The study aims to explore how this unprecedented situation has impacted the Trust patients primarily evaluating prevalence of the infection, effect of stringent social distancing (shielding) and Quality of Life (QOL). This will be done via a voluntary questionnaire, sent via text messaging at 6 and 12 months.

The Corona virus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic is currently involving all parts of the world. Several risk factors for critical illness and death from the disease have been proposed. However, it is still unclear if the observed associations between different comorbidities and chronic medications and severe COVID-19 disease and mortality is different from associations between the same factors and other severe diseases requiring intensive care unit (ICU) -care. This is important since some of the observed risk factors are very common in the aged who, by age alone, are more prone to a more severe course of any disease. By combining several registries, this study will compare, on several comorbidities such as hypertension and diabetes , the first 2000 cases of COVID-19 patients receiving critical care in Sweden to a Swedish sepsis-cohort and a Swedish adult respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) -cohort.
Advocate Health Care
This study is a community hospital-based study that will enhance information being obtained in similar studies taking place in France, Denmark, and China. These studies are designed to assess risk of healthcare workers during outbreaks of Coronavirus 2019 (COVID-19) also known as sudden acute respiratory syndrome-coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2). This will be a prospective, single-center observational study involving human subjects. IgG (Immunoglobulin G) antibody will be tested in the serum of physicians working at Advocate Lutheran General Hospital (ALGH). IgG antibodies are the antibodies that form in response to viral or bacterial infections and typically reflect protection against said infection. To date, there have been no studies confirming that IgG antibody formation confers immunity, but studies are ongoing. Furthermore, data is lacking showing conclusive persistence of (possibly protective) antibodies over time. Attending physicians on the medical staff, fellow physicians, and house staff residents who worked at ALGH from March 1st, 2020 and on, will be eligible for the study. Testing will involve a venipuncture to obtain approximately 3mL of blood to be sent to ACL Laboratories for SARS-CoV-2 IgG testing. For physician subjects, this will be performed on four separate occasions, once at the onset of the study, a second test 3 months after the first test, a third test 6 months from the time of the first test, and a fourth and final test 12 months after the initial test. Two household members (defined below), one-time testing will occur within 2 weeks of the physician subject testing positive. All testing will be performed in a two-week window. All physician subjects will be tested at a centralized site that is only serving these subjects, by appointment. We will be offloading testing for household members to one localized commercial ACL site on the ALGH campus at the Center for Advanced Care. The household member testing will be extended to an additional two-week period after the two week window in which physicians are tested for a total of four weeks maximum. One-time testing for IgG antibodies to COVID-19 will be offered to a maximum of two household members, as defined as, any person over the age of 18 years old who has lived at home with the physician, who has tested positive for IgG antibodies, for at least 2 weeks in total duration since March 1st, 2020. The physician will be permitted to choose who gets tested, and the chosen adult subject will provide their independent consent to be tested.
