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.
Search Tips
To search this directory, simply type a drug name, condition, company name, location, or other term of your choice into the search bar and click SEARCH. For broadest results, type the terms without quotation marks; to narrow your search to an exact match, put your terms in quotation marks (e.g., “acute respiratory distress syndrome” or “ARDS”). You may opt to further streamline your search by using the Status of the study and Intervention Type options. Simply click one or more of those boxes to refine your search.

This is randomized trial where households will be randomized to identify the optimal SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19) testing modality in a population-representative sample of households in Baltimore City, Maryland. 1,386 households in Baltimore City will be randomized 1:1:1 to one of three testing modalities: 1) fixed-site standard of care testing; 2) community-based mobile van testing; or 3) self-collected home, based testing.

This is a prospective cohort study of pregnant patients at an urban academic center diagnosed with perinatal COVID-19 infection, followed up to 6 weeks postpartum.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate pulmonary function of patients recovering from mild, moderate, and severe COVID-19 disease using hyperpolarized 129Xe MRI.

SARS-CoV2 is responsible for a pandemic that has been evolving for approximately 18 months. The virus' capacity for dissemination and its virulence are responsible for significant morbidity and mortality. The initial lack of knowledge of the pathogen and of the pathophysiology underlying the potential severity of the disease, particularly in the respiratory tract, led to numerous therapeutic attempts in this emergency context, centered on the control of an obviously exaggerated inflammatory response. A large number of studies remained of insufficient quality to lead to relevant and applicable conclusions. Secondly, the benefit of corticosteroid therapy has been demonstrated in two trials. Although Dexamethasone remains the only corticosteroid to improve survival, these results have reinforced the hypothesis of the interest of treatments reducing the inflammatory response, particularly cytokine. The widespread use, in the absence of scientific data, of interleukin-6 receptor inhibitors (Sarilumab and Tocilizumab) has been structured around studies whose results remain uncertain to this day because of the heterogeneity of the population treated and the results observed. A possible survival benefit seems to emerge for resuscitation patients who have not yet required invasive ventilation, the other situations being probably associated with the absence of effect or even the potential danger of this treatment. Tocilizumab is notably associated in the literature with the risk of secondary infections and mucosal healing abnormalities, favoring bleeding complications and digestive perforations. The objective of this study is to evaluate the risk of digestive complications (hemorrhage, perforation, diverticulitis) and infectious complications related to the use of Tocilizumab according to the severity of the patients.

The objective of the COVID-19 International Drug Pregnancy Registry (COVID-PR) is to evaluate obstetric, neonatal, and infant outcomes among women treated with monoclonal antibodies or antiviral drugs indicated for mild, moderate, or severe COVID-19 from the first day of the last menstrual period (LMP) to end of pregnancy. For monoclonal antibodies, the exposure period also includes 90 days prior to the first day of the LMP.

Clinical Characteristics and Prognostic Factors of Patients With COVID-19 (Coronavirus Disease 2019)
This is a multicenter, non-interventional, retrospective study using data captured in the EHRs (Electronic Health Records) of the participating hospital sites to determine factors that predict disease prognosis and outcomes in COVID-19 patients, specifically: Hospitalization/Off-site monitoring, transfer to ICU and/or need for medical mechanical ventilation (both invasive and non- invasive), length of ICU stay, and outcome (cure/ hospital discharge, in-hospital death)
University Hospital of Ferrara
The present study is ideated to prospectively investigate in patients with severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) due to Coronavirus 19 (SARS-Cov-2) infection and moderate-severe respiratory failure the patterns and changes in platelet reactivity, thrombotic status and endothelial function. The observed patterns and changes will be related with inflammatory status, myocardial injury and outcomes

SARS-CoV-2 spreads rapidly throughout the world. A large epidemic would seriously challenge the available hospital capacity, and this would be augmented by infection of healthcare workers (HCW). Strategies to prevent infection and disease severity of HCW are, therefore, desperately needed to safeguard continuous patient care. Bacille Calmette-Guérin (BCG) is a vaccine against tuberculosis, with protective non-specific effects against other respiratory tract infections in in vitro and in vivo studies, and reported morbidity and mortality reductions as high as 70%. Furthermore, in our preliminary analysis, areas with existing BCG vaccination programs appear to have lower incidence and mortality from COVID191. The investigators hypothesize that BCG vaccination can reduce HCW infection and disease severity during the epidemic phase of SARS-CoV-2.

The study investigators hypothesize that the pneumonia arising in patients with COVID-19 is largely of immunopathological origin. The investigators will therefore seek to define the immune activation phenotype of patients in respiratory distress and to see if this immune signature is predictive of mortality. Finally, the investigators will look for overproduced inflammatory mediators to identify potential therapeutic targets.
Butantan Institute
This is an observational study, meaning that no interventions is tested, to determine incidence of SARS-CoV-2 infection and COVID-19 in different clinical sites in Brazil in several age groups. The study aims to assess baseline number of infected participants and perform a follow-up along two years to determine the new cases occurring among participants during the period. All participants will collect blood samples to get more details on the immune response.
