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-2019 disease (COVID-19) and community-acquired pneumonia are significant problems of modern medicine. Pneumonia is the most common severe complication of COVID-19. But at the same time, COVID-19 is not the only cause of community-acquired pneumonia. Moreover, pneumonia is only one of the numerous possible severe complications of COVID-19. Medical centers specialized for the hospital treatment of patients with severe COVID-19 and community-acquired pneumonia were organized in different regions of Russia during coronavirus pandemic-2020. The indications for hospitalization to one of these centers based in the National Medical and Surgical Center (NMSC) are: confirmed or suspected severe COVID-19 or community-acquired pneumonia. A prospective medical registry of such patients hospitalized to NMSC, is intended to analyze and compare their clinical and instrumental data, co-morbidity, treatment, short-term and long-term outcomes in real clinical practice. Stage 1. Hospital treatment in NMSC Duration of this stage: from the date of admission to the hospital up to the date of discharge from the hospital / or up to the date of death during the reference hospitalization. The date of admission to the hospital will be the date of enrollment to the study. Evaluation of electronic health record data using the Medical Information System (MIS). Assessment of the outcomes of the hospital phase (discharge from the hospital, death) and significant events (acute respiratory and pulmonary failure, requiring mechanical ventilation; cardiovascular events - myocardial infarction, cerebral stroke, acute heart failure, paroxysmal heart rhythm disturbances, bleedings, thrombosis of large vessels and thromboembolic complications). A survey of patients to clarify data on risk factors, somatic diseases, and drug therapy before hospitalization. COVID-19 was diagnosed when severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection was confirmed by Polymerase chain reaction (PCR). Pneumonia was confirmed according to computerized tomography (CT) data. Stage 2. Prospective outpatient follow-up for 24 months Duration of this stage: 24 months after discharge from the hospital This work will be delivered by investigators from the National Medical Research Center for Therapy and Preventive Medicine. Evaluation of long-term outcomes and events among residents of Moscow and the Moscow Region according to a patient survey (contact by phone for 30-60 days, 6 months, 12 and 24 months after discharge from the hospital) and medical records.

Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) is the cause of atypical emerging pneumonia. The clinical spectrum varies from an asymptomatic or mild illness to a serious illness with a high risk of mortality. The most severely affected patients (5%) present an acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), requiring assistance with mechanical ventilation in intensive care. In 2003, persistent lung damage was observed in a third of patients in a Singaporean cohort one year after SARS-CoV infection. A Chinese study showed that 27.3% of their SARS-CoV patients presented a decreased carbon monoxide diffusion (DLCO) and 21.5% of pulmonary fibrosis lesions. Due to the very recent emergence of SARS-CoV-2, no data is currently available of long-term outcome of these patients. However, recent publications including short-term CT monitoring suggest the genesis of fibrotic pulmonary parenchymal sequelae. In view of these data, the investigators can fear the occurrence of pulmonary sequelae in patients infected with SARS-CoV-2. It is therefore essential to evaluate the evolution of the respiratory status of the most severe patients who have had a stay in intensive care with respiratory assistance.

This study proposes to evaluate the therapeutic efficacy, immunologic effects and normalization of laboratory parameters for patients at high risk for mortality when infected by SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19) when administered one unit (approximately 200 mL) of convalescent plasma administered over a period of one hour. Following administration of the convalescent plasma, physical exam/clinical assessment information is collected daily and routine lab result data is collected every three days.
Sykehuset Telemark
Through SARS-CoV-2 IgG testing of PCR positive and negative cases the study will follow the COVID-19 immune response by monitoring the SARS-CoV-2 IgG antibody levels over a period of two years. Further, risk factors will be identified by the use of the test-negative design including population controls, allowing comparison of participants with positive and negative tests, and with population controls (triangulation). Special emphasis will be on high risk groups in general and on different occupational, environmental and socio-economic groups in particular. Finally, severity of illness, deaths and the use of health care during will be assessed using national register data from Telemark and Agder.

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).
