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.

The most prevalent complication of COVID-19 infection is respiratory failure from severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS), the leading cause of mortality. There is increasing indication that the decompensation in severe COVD-19 infection may be due to a cytokine storm syndrome. This hyperinflammatory syndrome results in a fulminant and fatal hypercytokinemia and multiorgan failure. Approximately 15% of patients with COVID-19 infection are hospitalized and 20-30% of these hospitalized patients require ICU care and/or mechanical ventilation. Overall mortality in hospitalized patients is approximately 20-25%. There is significant interest in therapies that can be given upstream to reduce the rate of mechanical ventilation and thus mortality. We hypothesize that treatment with colchicine in COVID-19 moderate-severe patients may decrease the risk of progression into ARDS requiring increased oxygen requirements, mechanical ventilation, and mortality.
Institut Curie
This research proposes to study a large healthy population active for the presence of antibodies directed against the Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) virus and this over time. After verification of the inclusion criteria and information by the coordinating investigative doctor, the volunteers sign a written consent. A nurse will take blood samples under safe conditions compatible with the pandemic period and while respecting the protection of the volunteer's personal data. The blood samples will be taken at 4 times for Institute Curie and Institute Pasteur: T0 (day of inclusion), between 6 weeks and 3 months ,6 months and 12 months post-inclusion. Each blood sample consists of a collection of 5 mL of blood in a dry tube. The serum samples will be extracted and collected prospectively from the blood samples. The nasopharyngeal swabs will be performed at 3 times: , between 6 weeks and 3 months, 6 months and 12 months post-inclusion for Institute Curie staff who have had at least one of the following four criteria on the sample or questionnaire carried out at T0: - have had RT-PCR+ - and/or presence of antibodies at the 95% threshold - and/or anosmia/ageusia - and/or digestive syndrome with associated respiratory signs. In case of infection between sampling times, if the volunteer meets one of the four criteria above, a nasopharyngeal swab will be performed during the following visits. The nasopharyngeal swab shall also be proposed to volunteers not meeting the 4 above listed criteria in order to have a control group (about 100 volunteers) for future statistical analyses. If the volunteers accept, naso-pharyngeal swab shall be performed between 6 weeks and 3 months, 6 months and 12 months after inclusion. For volunteers already included at Institute Curie : in case of proved (RT-PCR+ or antigenic +) or very likely (anosmia and/or ageusia, and/or digestive syndrome with associated respiratory signs) between 2 sampling times already planned in the flow chart, blood samples and nasopharyngeal swabs shall be performed. Those shall be performed if time since last planned sampling(s) has been more than 3 weeks or if time until next sampling(s) is more than 3 weeks. The blood samplings and nasopharyngeal swabs will be performed at 4 times for Institute Pasteur personnel: at T0 (inclusion day), between 6 weeks and 3 months, at 6 months and 12 months post-inclusion
Pfizer
This is a Phase 1/2/3, randomized, placebo-controlled, observer-blind, dose-finding, vaccine candidate-selection, and efficacy study in healthy individuals. The study consists of 2 parts: Phase 1: to identify preferred vaccine candidate(s) and dose level(s); Phase 2/3: an expanded cohort and efficacy part. The study will evaluate the safety, tolerability, and immunogenicity of 3 different SARS-CoV-2 RNA vaccine candidates against COVID-19 and the efficacy of 1 candidate: - As a 2-dose (separated by 21 days) schedule; - At various different dose levels in Phase 1; - As a booster; - In 3 age groups (Phase 1: 18 to 55 years of age, 65 to 85 years of age; Phase 2/3: ≥12 years of age [stratified as 12-15, 16-55 or >55 years of age]). The candidate selected for efficacy evaluation in Phase 2/3 is BNT162b2 at a dose of 30 µg. Participants who originally received placebo will be offered the opportunity to receive BNT162b2 at defined points as part of the study. In order to describe the boostability of BNT162, and potential heterologous protection against emerging SARS-CoV-2 VOCs, an additional dose of BNT162b2 at 30 µg will be given to Phase 1 participants approximately 6 to 12 months after their second dose of BNT162b1 or BNT162b2. This will provide an early assessment of the safety of a third dose of BNT162, as well as its immunogenicity. The assessment of boostability will be further expanded in a subset of Phase 3 participants at selected sites in the US who will receive a third dose of BNT162b2 at 30 µg or a third and potentially a fourth dose of prototype BNT162b2VOC at 30 µg (BNT162b2s01, based upon the South African variant and hereafter referred to as BNT162b2SA). A further subset of Phase 3 participants will receive a third, lower, dose of BNT162b2 at 5 or 10 µg. To further describe potential homologous and heterologous protection against emerging SARS-CoV-2 VOCs, a new cohort of participants will be enrolled who are COVID-19 vaccine-naïve (ie, BNT162b2-naïve) and have not experienced COVID-19. They will receive BNT162b2SA given as a 2-dose series, separated by 21 days. To reflect current and anticipated recommendations for COVID 19 vaccine boosters, participants in C4591001 who meet specified recommendations and have not already received one, will be offered a third dose of BNT162b2 after their second dose of BNT162.

2019nCoV-101 is a 2-part, randomized, observer-blinded, placebo-controlled, Phase 1/2 trial. Part 1 (Phase 1) of the study is designed to evaluate the safety and immunogenicity of SARS-CoV-2 rS nanoparticle vaccine with or without Matrix-M adjuvant in 131 healthy participants ≥ 18 to 59 (inclusive) years of age at 2 sites in Australia. An interim analysis of Part 1 safety and immunogenicity will be performed prior to optional expansion to Part 2. Part 2 (Phase 2) of the study is designed to evaluate the immunogenicity, safety, and preliminary efficacy of a single construct of SARS-CoV-2 rS nanoparticle vaccine with Matrix-M adjuvant in up to 1,500 healthy participants ≥ 18 to 84 (inclusive) years of age at up to 40 sites across Australia and/or the United States.
Clinical Exercise Physiology and Rehabilitation Reasearch Laboratory
This is a two-phase multicenter study that will be conducted in collaboration with five university hospitals, in order to offer telehealth services at home in patients with COVID-19, after hospital discharge. At the first phase an observational study aims to investigate the physical and psychological status of patients after hospital discharge and to provide support and information how to cope with symptoms (early fatigue, muscle weakness, eating difficulties, etc). At the second phase a randomized control trial study will evaluate a 6-month telerehabilitation program for 100 adults (aged 20-65 years) diagnosed with COVID-19, who completed the first phase of this study. At this phase, the study will randomize (1:1 allocation) 100 male and female who were hospitalized with COVID-19 to either a 24-week home-based telerehabilitation program versus usual care. The intervention program includes individualized prescribed endurance exercises, low intensity aerobic exercises, upper and lower extremity strength training, breathing exercises as well as a three times per month online support with 1:1 supervision via video conferencing with an expert physiotherapist.

The overall objective of the study is to evaluate the clinical efficacy of COVID-19 treatments consisting of standard of care (SOC), vs SOC with high dose famotidine in patients hospitalized and meeting radiologic criteria for COVID-19 disease. SOC for the treatment for COVID-19 has evolved since the initial conceptualization of this protocol and early recruitment of patients. Initially SOC included hydroxychloroquine and has progressed to include Remdesivir. This protocol is amended to allow the SOC to reflect the prevailing treatment for COVID-19. We will compare clinical outcomes associated with SOC and the addition of high-dose intravascular famotidine. The trial is designed to enroll at least 471 COVID-19 patients hospitalized with moderate to severe disease into each of the two treatment arms, with a total enrollment target of at least 942 patients. This trial has been designed and powered to support up to three interim analyses that will enable prompt assessment of benefits and risks of the two treatment groups while maintaining the rigorous gold standard of a randomized double blind clinical trial structure. Trial design has been guided by practical consideration of the current clinical context involving rapidly escalating demands on hospital staff and resources, and incorporates a minimalist approach employing existing laboratory information management systems and a clinically relevant binary primary outcome of 30-day endpoint of death or survival.

Treatments for COVID-19 are urgently needed. Hydroxychloroquine (HCQ) is an antimalarial and immunomodulatory agent being repurposed for COVID-19 therapy based off in vitro data suggesting a possible antiviral effect. However, HCQ's effect on COVID-19 in human infection remains unknown. To fill this knowledge gap, we will enroll 626 adult patients hospitalized with laboratory-confirmed COVID-19 and randomize them 1:1 to a five-day course of HCQ or placebo. Notable exclusion criteria include ICU admission or ventilation on enrollment, prior therapy with HCQ, and baseline prolonged qTC. Our primary endpoint is a severe disease progression composite outcome (death, ICU admission, mechanical ventilation, ECMO, , and/or vasopressor requirement) at the 14-day post-treatment evaluation. Notable secondary clinical outcomes include 30-day mortality, hospital length of stay, noninvasive ventilator support, and cytokine release syndrome (CRS) grading scale. Secondary exploratory objectives will examine SARS-CoV-2 viral eradication at the EOT, changes in COVID-19 putative prognostic markers and cytokine levels, and titers of anti-SARS-CoV-2 antibodies. This randomized trial will determine if HCQ is effective as treatment in hospitalized non-ICU patients with COVID-19.
