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.

The purpose of the COVIDNOCHE trial (HFNO versus CPAP Helmet Evaluation in COVID-19 Pneumonia) is to evaluate the comparative effectiveness of standard care non-invasive respiratory support (helmet CPAP versus HFNO) for acute hypoxemic respiratory failure from COVID-19 pneumonia on ventilator-free days (primary outcome) and other clinical outcomes measured up to 90 days.

SAM-COVID is a retrospective cohort study that aims to determine the impact of immunosuppressive drugs and immunoglubulins in the outcome of patients with COVID-19.

Neuromuscular electrical stimulation (NMES) has been considered as a promising approach for the early rehabilitation of patients in and/or after the intensive care unit (ICU). Aim of this study is to evaluate the NMES effect on physical function of COVID-19 patients.

The study is a prospective, randomized, controlled investigation designed for comparison of two groups for the reduction of respiratory distress in a CoViD-19 population, using gammaCore Sapphire (nVNS) plus standard of care (active) vs. standard of care alone (SoC), the control group. The gammaCore® (nVNS) treatments will be used acutely and prophylactically. The aims of this study are to summarize and compare the incidence of clinical events and pro-inflammatory cytokine levels in patients randomized to use of gammaCore Sapphire plus standard of care vs standard of care alone in patients hospitalized for CoViD-19. Secondary objectives are demonstrate the safety of gammaCore Sapphire use in patients hospitalized for CoViD-19.
Peking University Third Hospital
Post-discharge rehabilitation regimens for covid-19 patients have not been supported by high-quality evidence-based medical evidence.The first part of this study is a cross-sectional study.The contents of the study were the factors related to the dysfunction of COVID - 19 patients after discharge from the hospital in Wuhan.The second part of this study is a cohort study.To observe the functional changes of COVID-19 patients after discharge in hospital rehabilitation, home rehabilitation and no rehabilitation, in order to propose a more safe and effective rehabilitation program.

ELVIS COVID-19 is a pragmatic web-based Bayesian adaptive randomised controlled, parallel group trial of hypertonic saline nasal irrigation and gargling (HSNIG) compared to standard care in participants with clinically suspected or confirmed COVID-19 being managed at home.
NPO Petrovax
The purpose of this study is to demonstrate the superiority of Polyoxidonium®, lyophilizate for solution for injections and topical application, 6 mg over placebo in hospitalized patients with coronavirus disease (COVID-19). This is a multicentre prospective, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, parallel-group phase IIb\IIIa clinical trial.

The main objective of the COVIDADOMEVA study is to identify the risk factors aggravating the COVID-19 (risk or protective factors), in out-patients suspected of being infected with precocious home monitoring. The primary event defining the aggravation will be then: hospitalization (medicine, resuscitation) or death. The studied potential risk factors will be mainly: - Socio-demographic: age, sex, place of residence or income - Comorbidities - Clinical signs: asthenia, dyspnea (kinetics)… - Drugs other than those related to the infection For this research project, this study needs to use the patient's data of the COVIDADOM cohort (patients suspected of being infected with SARS-CoV-2 with home monitoring) and will collect some supplementary data (clinical and biological). All these data will be integrated and analyzed in the PREDIMED clinical data lake platform (The implementation of PREDIMED has been approved by the French authority in terms of GDPR, CNIL, on October 10, 2019).

A majority (65-85%) of critically ill patients admitted in intensive care units with a confirmed diagnostic of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) developed an acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) according to BERLIN criteria. Gattinoni et al. recently described that the ARDS related to SARS-CoV-2 was not a "Typical" ARDS. Patients affected by this infection present indeed a major hypoxemia, which was surprisingly associated in early phase with a high compliance of respiratory system, more than 50 ml/cm H2O in most cases. The cornerstone of current treatment in case of ARDS is the use of "lung protective" ventilation, including limited tidal volumes (VT), low end-inspiratory plateau pressures while maintaining sufficiently-high positive end-expiratory pressures (PEEP). However, high levels of PEEP in patients may have detrimental effects on hemodynamic status and fluid retention, particularly when the respiratory system compliance is normal. High PEEP may also lead to overdistension and an increase of alveolar dead space. The airway pressures commonly monitored does not reliably reflect the impact of pressures on the lung parenchyma. Elastance of chest wall may indeed largely influence values of airways pressions. In contrast, transpulmonary pressure obtained using esophageal pressure (Pes) directly reflect lung overdistension risk and lung properties. In order to better understand this new kind of ARDS characterized by modest recruitable profile and to better personalize mechanical ventilation setting and therapy it is obvious to precise transpulmonary pressure.

This single-center, prospective, open-label, comparator study, blind for central accessor evaluates the efficacy, safety of inhalations of low-doses of melphalan in patients with pneumonia with confirmed or suspected COVID-19. All patients will receive 0,1 mg of melphalan in 7-10 daily inhalations 1 time per day.
