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.

There is an urgent need to understand the outcomes of COVID-19 infected patients regarding the thromboembolic venous disease. Capturing real-world data and sharing Spanish national experience will inform the management of this complex group of patients, improving their clinical care. Interventions are needed to reduce both the incidence and severity of COVID-19. Although it shares characteristics with other similar viruses that also arose in outbreaks, the physiological mechanisms of the virus and its responses on the host are not yet fully known. There are indications that the clinical picture of this disease is in a procoagulant state, with possible increase in episodes of thromboembolic disease. This study aims to analyze the influence of COVID-19 on the incidence of deep vein thrombosis (DVT) in lower and upper limbs, and the variation in the clinical presentation of COVID-19, as well as to provide new evidence applicable to the clinical management of these patients and the establishment of prognostic factors that help early take therapeutic decisions. To this end, an observational, multicenter, national cohorts study will be carried out, sponsored by the Spanish Society of Angiology and Vascular Surgery (SEACV) and the Spanish Chapter of Phlebology and Linfology through its Vascular Research Network (RIV), which will collect demographic variables, comorability, concomitant treatment, analytical status and complementary and ultrasound diagnostic tests, parameters of clinical evolution, therapeutic and complications and mortality to 30 days. All national centers you wish to participate through a secure server that will be accessed through the SEACV and CEFyL website. The global community has recognised that rapid dissemination and completion of studies in COVID-19 infected patients is a high priority, so we encourage all stakeholders (local investigators, ethics committees, IRBs) to work as quickly as possible to approve this project. This investigator-led, non-commercial, non-interventional study is extremely low risk, or even zero risk. This study does not collect any patient identifiable information (including no dates) and data will not be analysed at hospital-level.

Rationale: The investigators hypothesize that genetics and the nasal epithelial response to SARS-CoV2 are critical determinants of the immune response to viral infection, and predict clinical outcome in COVID-19 patients. Objective: The main objective is to assess whether genetic background and/or the nasal epithelial gene expression in response to SARS-CoV2 is different in patients with mild, severe or very severe disease. The secondary goal of this study is to investigate a) the role of the ACE2-AngII system during SARS-CoV2 in relation to outcome b) the long-term consequences of mild, severe, and very severe COVID-19 infection c) the association between mild, severe and very severe COVID-19 with clinical & molecular markers of disease progression d) whether the faeces microbiome, virome or metabolomics profile predicts clinical outcome in COVID-19 patients and e) to investigate whether pre-existing antibodies towards other coronaviruses play a role in severe disease development. Study design: Prospective open label clinical observational study. In this study samples will be collected from 150 COVI-19 patients ( 50 mild (group 1), 50 severe (group 2) and 50 very severe (group 3) ). Blood, nasal brushes and stool will be collected for all groups at hospital admission and 3 months after recovery, and for groups 2 & 3 at day 3, at day 14, and before detubation Study population: A total of 150 patients diagnosed with COVID-19 will be included. The investigators aim for 50 patients per group, divided over 3 groups: Group 1 Patients with mild disease who tested positively for SARS-CoV2 infection, but only experience mild symptoms and do not need hospitalization. Group 2 Patients with severe disease admitted to hospital, without the need to be admitted to the intensive care. Group 3 Patients with very severe disease admitted to intensive care, who require mechanical ventilation. Main study parameters/endpoints: The primary endpoint of this study is the identification of genes, pathways and cell populations that associate with clinical outcome and disease progression in mild, severe and very severe COVID-19 patients.

I. Study Design: This is a single-arm feasibility study to assess the safety and efficacy of anti-SARS-CoV-2 convalescent plasma (CP) in 1. intubated, mechanically ventilated patients with confirmed COVID-19 pneumonia by chest X-ray or chest CT. 2. hospitalized patients with acute respiratory symptoms between 3 and 7 days after the onset of symptoms, with COVID-19. II. Study Population: 1. Population 1: Mechanically ventilated intubated COVID-19 patients aged 18 years or older. 2. Population 2: Hospitalized COVID-19 patients aged ≥18 years of age with respiratory symptoms within 3 to 7 days from the beginning of illness. III. Study Agent: SARS-CoV-2 convalescent plasma (1-2 units; ~200-400 mL at neutralization antibody titer >1:160.

To date, there is no efficient therapeutics to prevent or treat COVID-19 related pulmonary failure. Corticosteroids (CS) could be a helpful therapeutic. Retrospective reports suggested survival improvement in patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). CT scan for COVID19 hospitalized patients showed sometimes unusual aspects of pneumonia, suggestive of an organizing phase of diffuse alveolar damage (DAD). We hypothesize that, in the context of alveolar aggression induced by COVID-19, CT scan could help to individualize patients with a high probability of pulmonary organizing process who could benefit from CS treatment.

The COVID-19 outbreak has led to a significant increase in the number of patients admitted to intensive care for respiratory distress. Early data indicate a particularly high risk of thrombotic risk to viral lung disease, particularly in the most severe patients, with a particularly high incidence of pulmonary embolism. Catheter thrombosis and extra-renal purification filters are also abnormally common. These thrombotic complications could contribute to the mortality observed in this pathology. The introduction of early curative anticoagulation in the most severe patients has just been proposed by the perioperative hemostasis interest group Biologically, a significant proportion of patients hospitalized in intensive care have a marked biological inflammatory syndrome, associated with signs of activation of clotting (a frank increase in D-dimers). The presence of circulating anticoagulants is common. Interestingly, thrombocytosis, normally observed in such inflammatory syndromes, is absent. In this context, it seems legitimate to explore these patients from a hemostasis perspective to identify the factors that cause this thrombotic over-risk, in order to minimize the occurrence of these complications.
