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.

Background:People who are recovering from COVID-19 may continue to have problems that affect theirdaily life. For instance, they might feel overly tired. Researchers want to learn ifexercise can help people recover after COVID-19 infection.Objective:To study if participation in a rehabilitation exercise program can help people recoveringfrom COVID-19.Eligibility:Adults ages 18-80 with a lab-confirmed SARS-CoV2 infection (the virus that causesCOVID-19), and are still having some symptoms.Design:Participants will have a medical history and physical exam. They will give blood andurine samples. They will have tests to measure heart and lung function. Their bloodvessels will be assessed.Participants will have a computed tomography scan of the body. They will have anultrasound of the muscles in their arms, legs, and chest.Participants will take a 6-minute walk test. They will take other balance and movementtests.Participants will walk on a treadmill while hooked up to a monitor. Then they will beinterviewed. It will be audio-recorded.Participants will complete surveys about their symptoms and daily activities.Participants will take a smell test. For this, they will identify different smells. Theywill also have memory, attention, and mental functioning tests.Participants will wear an activity monitor on their wrist 24 hours a day. They willexercise 3 times a week for 10 weeks by moving vigorously on a track or treadmill for 30minutes. They will attend education classes once a week for 10 weeks.Participants will be contacted by phone or email every 3 months for 1 year after theycomplete the exercise part of the study. They will wear an activity monitor for up to 2weeks.

Older adults and those with chronic underlying health conditions are the most susceptibleto COVID-19 and its complications. Although there has been a rapid response to studyingthe effects of COVID-19 in the acute stages, little is known about recovery over thelonger-term. Older adults who survive the diseases are at risk of developing persistentmobility limitations due to extensive bed rest during hospitalization. For older patientsand those with underlying frailty recovering from COVID-19, this could rapidly lead tosignificant physical deconditioning and rapid declines in mobility. Understanding thetrajectory of functional recovery of older hospitalised patients with COVID-19 in theshort- and long-term is critical to improving patient outcomes and informing health andrehabilitative interventions for survivors.

The CVP-COVID19 registry is both a retrospective and prospective study design in order toidentify predictors of cardiovascular disease progression and mortality for COVID-19. Theregistry enrolls consecutive patients with positive microbiological tests for SARS-CoV-2admitted to an academic hospital in northern Italy for worsening of COVID-19 symptoms.The study does not test any new diagnostic or therapeutic approach. Patients are treatedaccording to good clinical practice. Patients characteristics, including medical history(with particular attention to cardiovascular and pneumological risk factors), features ofphysical examination, results laboratory and radiological tests and treatments (pre- andin-hospital) are related with patient outcome. Logistic analysis (univariate,multivariate and propensity) are performed in order to identify factors associated withdisease progression. Primary endpoint: mortality.

The Innovative Support for Patients with SARS COV-2 Infections Registry (INSPIRE) studyis a CDC-funded COVID-19 project to understand the long-term health outcomes in recentlytested adults, both negative and positive, who have suspected COVID symptoms at the timeof their test. Participants will complete short online surveys every 3 months for 18months, share information about their health using a secure web-based platform, and arecompensated for their time.

This study is to establish an accurate, robust and easily scalable COVID-19 viral nucleicacid analysis platform from, but not limited to, saliva to help enable and supportcontact tracing in the canton of Baselland/ Switzerland. To achieve this, cruderibonucleotide acid (RNA) extraction from saliva is validated in combination withnext-generation sequencing (NGS) diagnostics and loop mediated amplification (LAMP)assays as well as point of care test (POCT) for rapid detection of viral antigens onpatients' samples.

This Phase 2/3 study is a multi-portion design to confirm that the chosen formulation anddosing regimen of CoVLP has an acceptable immunogenicity and safety profile.The Phase 3 portion is an event-driven, randomized, observer blinded, placebo-controlleddesign that will evaluate the efficacy and safety of the CoVLP formulation compared toplacebo.Subjects will be followed for safety and immunogenicity for a period of 12 months afterthe last vaccination.

This phase I trial evaluates the side effects and best dose of GEO-CM04S1 (previouslydesignated as COH04S1), a synthetic modified vaccinia Ankara (MVA)-based SARS-CoV-2vaccine, for the prevention of COVID-19 infection. COVID-19 infection is caused by theSARS-CoV-2 virus. SARS-CoV-2 has demonstrated the capability to spread rapidly, leadingto significant impacts on healthcare systems and causing societal disruption. GEO-CM04S1was created by placing small pieces of SARS-CoV-2 DNA (the chemical form of genes) intosynthetic MVA, which may be able to induce immunity (the ability to recognize and fightagainst an infection) to SARS-CoV-2. The purpose of the Phase 1 study is to determine thesafety and the optimal dose of the GEO-CM04S1 vaccine.The Phase 2 study is designed as a multi-center, double-blind, randomized, parallel,study to evaluate the safety profile of 2 dose levels of GEO-CM04S1 as a single boostershot to assess the immune response measured by the fold-increase in antibody againstSARS-CoV-2 Spike protein at day 28 post-injection among healthy adult volunteers.

Through SARS-CoV-2 IgG testing of PCR positive and negative cases the study will followthe COVID-19 immune response by monitoring the SARS-CoV-2 IgG antibody levels over aperiod of two years. Further, risk factors will be identified by the use of thetest-negative design including population controls, allowing comparison of participantswith positive and negative tests, and with population controls (triangulation). Specialemphasis 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 datafrom Telemark and Agder.
