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: Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) causes coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). The global outbreak of COVID-19 is a major public health problem. COVID-19 causes a wide range of symptoms. These symptoms range from mild breathing problems to life-threatening problems or death. Some people have no symptoms. This study aims to learn how acute and late immune responses to COVID-19 lead to different outcomes. The immune system is the body s defense against germs, including viruses, that invade the body. Objective: To characterize the immune responses during and after SARS-CoV-2 infection and determine if there is any relationship to clinical course and outcome. Eligibility: People ages 0 99 who have confirmed or suspected SARS-CoV-2 infection, people who are not infected despite heavy exposure, and relatives of enrolled participants. Design: This is a sample collection protocol to receive send-in biological specimens for exploratory studies, including gene testing. Participants will not be seen at the NIH for study visits. Study staff will talk with participants health care providers to screen them for the study. Participants enrolled into the protocol will send samples and clinical information at least once and more often if the participant has COVID-19. All participants will provide blood samples and possibly stool. We may also ask for left over specimens from any medical procedures completed as part of medical care. The study staff will also request participants health care providers to complete a survey to collect demographic and medical data. Some of this information may need to be provided directly by the participant. Pregnant individuals are invited to participate and may be asked to give cord blood samples after delivery. Study findings that affect participants health may be shared with their health care provider. Depending on findings, participants may be contacted to take part in other NIH studies.

COVID-19 (Coronavirus disease 2019) is a new infectious disease caused by a virus named as SARS-CoV2 (Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus-2). Although it can have a devastating effect on many organs, the respiratory tract is particularly affected. In the course of the disease, a wide clinical spectrum is observed, from flu-like illness to lung failure. Some of the patients who survived the disease continue to have problems such as shortness of breath, fatigue, decrease in walking distance, decrease in participation in daily life activities. These problems suggest that the effects on respiratory and cardiac functions continue even after the disease ends. This study was designed to demonstrate the effects and extent of COVID-19 on cardiopulmonary capacity.
Francis Crick Institute
The study aims to investigate SARS-CoV-2 susceptibility, transmission and disease severity in healthcare workers and patients. Residual specimens from an existing collection of samples in viral inactivating buffer and derivatives and serum from the Crick COVID-19 Consortium Testing centre (Cohort A1) and additional biological material collected prospectively (Cohorts A2 and B) will be used for research into SARS-CoV-2 transmission, evolution and immune control. This testing centre is a partnership between UCLH and The Francis Crick Institute to provide COVID 19 RT PCR testing for healthcare workers (HCWs) and patients in London Hospitals and care homes. A third group (Cohort C) of the study will allow for collaborative work with other REC approved research studies that have used the Crick COVID-19 Consortium Testing centre and will involve the use of study samples already collected from each study to be analysed under the SARS-CoV-2 Longitudinal Study end points

NAPKON-HAP is the deep phenotyping platform of the National Pandemic Cohort Network (NAPKON) in Germany. NAPKON is a data and biospecimen collection of patients with COVID-19 and is part of the University Medicine Network (NUM) in Germany. The primary objective of the study is to provide a comprehensive collection of data and biosamples for researchers from national consortia and for participation in international research collaborations for studying COVID-19 and future pandemics. Data is collected from patients with COVID-19 three times per week during their hospitalization and at follow-up visits after hospital discharge 3, 6, 12, 24, and 36 months after symptom onset. Data include epidemiological and demographic parameters, medical history and potential risk factors, documentation of routine medical procedures, and clinical course, including different patterns of organ involvement, quality of care, morbidity, and quality of life. Moreover, extensive serial high-quality bio sampling consisting of various sample types is performed to allow deep molecular, immunological, and virological phenotyping. Patients not requiring Intensive Care Unit (ICU)/ Intermediate Care (IMC) treatment will receive 7 and patients requiring ICU/IMC treatment will receive 16 full-phenotyping visits including sampling for biobanking. During hospitalisation the planned blood sampling rate in total is 35 ml at each visit. The total amounts and/or sampling dates may differ according to the ethics committee's regulations for different study centers. At follow-up visits, the clinical assessment includes an update of the medical history and recent medical events from which additional clinical data is collected (i.e. outpatient CT-scans, echocardiography, external laboratory data). Clinical symptoms are recorded and a physical examination will be performed. Vital signs are recorded and routine blood testing and biosampling is continued. Quality of life is measured with patient-reported outcome questionnaires. Follow-up visits at months 3 and 12 are "deep phenotyping" visits with a comprehensive and detailed set of examinations. In the following visits at months 24 and 36, only examinations with pathologic results from the last deep phenotyping visit at month 12 will be performed. A shorter follow-up visit to record quality of life, recent medical events and with a reduced number of examinations focusing on cardiorespiratory performance will take place at month 6. In case of relevant medical events, new medical information or changes in the participant´s health status, an unscheduled visit can take place anytime within the entire study period. Data collection during follow up includes standardized quality of life assessment including PROMIS® (Patient-Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System). The pulmonary characterization will include body plethysmography, diffusion capacity, respiratory muscles strength measurement, spiroergometry, capillary blood gas analysis and lung imaging studies (low-dose Computed Tomography (CT), Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) of the lung). Cardiological phenotyping includes echocardiography, electrocardiogram (ECG), 24h-ECG, 24h-blood pressure monitoring, stress cardiac MRI and pulse wave analysis. Neurocognitive testing includes brain MRI, electroencephalogram (EEG), somatosensory testing, refractometry (Visit 3 and 12 months), physical activity test, neurocognitive tests, somatosensory phenotyping, taste- and smell-test. Endocrinological phenotyping will incorporate Advanced Glycation Endproducts (AGE) reader, continuous glucose monitoring for 14 days, Air Displacement Plethysmography (ADP) or bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA).

None of the vaccines approved, or in clinical trials, have so far been tested on transplanted patients. If they produce an immune response to the Spike protein of SARS-CoV-2 it is unknown how long the protective immunity will last. Not all immune responses are equal. The investigators will quantify immune cell subsets with flow and mass cytometry analyses to describe the phenotype of responding immune cells, including specific T cells. If not already established, patient human Leukocyte antigen (HLA) genotypes will be typed. In order to compare the immune responses with healthy individuals a control group of hospital employees will be included and sampled before and after vaccination according to the same time schedules as the kidney transplanted patients.

The AGILE platform master protocol allows incorporation of a range of identified and yet-to-be-identified candidates as potential treatments for adults with COVID-19 into the trial. Candidates will be added into the trial via candidate-specific trial (CST) protocols of this master protocol as appendices. Having one master protocol ensures different candidates are evaluated in the same consistent manor and opening up new trials for new candidates is more efficient. Inclusion of new candidates will be determined by the AGILE Scientific Advisory Board based on pre-clinical data, evidence in the clinical setting and GMP capabilities.

The COVID-19 can cause important sequels in the respiratory system by bilateral pneumonia and frequently presents loss of strength, dyspnea, polyneuropathies and multi-organic affectation. Long COVID-19 has been defined as the condition occurring in individuals with a history of probable or confirmed SARS-CoV-2 infection, with related symptoms lasting at least 2 months and not explainable by an alternative diagnosis. The practice of digital physiotherapy presents itself as a promising complementary treatment method to standard physiotherapy, playing a key role in the recovery of function in subjects who have passed the disease and who maintain some symptomatology over time. The aims of this research are to explore the effect of a digital physiotherapy intervention on functional recovery in patients diagnosed with Long COVID-19 and to identify the level of adherence to the treatment carried out. Physiotherapy interventions acquires a fundamental role in the recovery of the functions and the quality of life. As secondary objectives, the aim is to identify the satisfaction and perception of patients with the intervention and the presence of barriers to its implementation (throught a qualitative research), as well as to evaluate the cost-effectiveness from the perspective of the health system. A quasi-experimental pre-post study assessed initially and at the end of the 4-week intervention the functional capacity (1-min STS and SPPB) and the adherence (software). The hypothesis of this research is that the implementation of a TR program presents positive results. If hypothesis is confirmed, that would be an opportunity to define new policies and interventions to address this disease and its consequences.
