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 study compares two intubation boxes, that is the Taiwan "Aerosol Box" versus the UMMC "Intubation Box". The importance of this intubation box has come to light recently in view of the COVID-19 pandemic and the fact that intubation is an aerosol-generating procedure. Risks of the healthcare worker attending to the airway of COVID-19 patients is high and the intubation box aims to minimize that and reduce contamination of the environment. The original design of the "Aerosol Box" has limitations and is not easily used by intubators. This study evaluates the clinical usefulness of an innovation of the "Aerosol Box" design that is made to be more ergonomic and increases the rate of successful intubation. Anaesthetists with more than 5 years of clinical experience in intubating airways as well as more than 20 successful intubations using videolaryngoscopy , will be available to participate. This study will employ manikin and will be a randomized cross-over trial, conducted in UM.

Coronavirus disease 2019 has forced worldwide the implementation of unprecedented restrictions to control its rapid spread and mitigate its impact. The Spanish government has enforced social distancing, quarantine and home confinement. This restriction of daily life activities and separation from loved ones may lead to social isolation and loneliness with health-related consequences in community-dwelling older adults with mild cognitive impairment or mild dementia and their caregivers. Additionally, an inadequate access to healthcare and social support services may aggravate chronic conditions. Technology home-based interventions emerge for combating social isolation and loneliness preventing the risk of viral exposure. The aim of this multicentre cohort study is to explore, analyze and determine the impact of social isolation on: 1) cognition, quality of life, mood, technophilia and perceived stress of community-dwelling older adults with mild cognitive impairment or mild dementia, and on caregiver burden; 2) health and social care services access and utilization, and 3) cognitive, social and entertainment use of ICTs. This study will be conducted in two Spanish regions Andalucía (Málaga) and Cataluña (Tarrasa). In total 200 dyads, consisting of a person with mild cognitive impairment or mild dementia (PMCI/MD) and their informal caregiver will be contacted by telephone. Potential respondents will be participants of the SMART 4 MD (N=100) and TV-AssistDem (N=100) clinical trials. The change in means in the variables will be analyzed comparing baseline results in the previous studies with those during and after confinement using the ANOVA test of repeated measures or the non-parametric Friedman test if appropriate. The performance of a multivariate analysis of variance (ANCOVA) to introduce possible covariates will also be contemplated. A 95% confidence level will be used.

Observational, cross-sectional, multi-center, multi-wave survey, assessing characteristics and predictors of physical and mental health as well as health behaviors during COVID-19 pandemic, targeting the general population (children, adolescents and adults).
Kirby Institute
The objectives of this study are to characterise immune responses in people with CoV-SARS-2 infection and use this knowledge to advance vaccine design, treatment options, and diagnostic reagents. Eligible participants will include people diagnosed with SARS-CoV-2 infection, and may include recently returned travellers and non-travellers in the community presenting to tertiary hospital healthcare facilities. Recruitment will be opportunistic, and sampling intensity may vary depending on the phase of the outbreak. Participants can be enrolled at any timepoint (up to 6 months) following diagnosis of SARS-CoV-2 infection (COVID-19). Blood samples and clinical data will be collected.

We have to be aware of the challenge and concerns brought by 2019-nCoV to our healthcare workers. Front-line healthcare workers can become infected in the management of patients with COVID-19; the high viral load in the atmosphere, and infected medical equipment are sources for the spread of SARS-CoV-2. If prevention and control measures are not in place, these healthcare workers are at great risk of infection and become the inadvertent carriers to patients who are in hospital for other diseases. Nowadays a question that has not yet been clarified by science has been arises: is hydroxychloroquine associated with zinc compared to ivermectin associated with zinc effective as a prophylaxis for asymptomatic professionals involved in the treatment of suspected or confirmed case of COVID-19?

In the course of COVID disease, some patients need intensive care treatment. We aim to find an answer to the question of whether the patient's CRP, ferritin, D-dimer, Oxygen Saturation, lymphocyte count, and body mass index can be used as a criterion for admitting patients with COVID to the intensive see unit.

Convalescent plasma is a way to provide passive immunity to a person exposed to an infectious agent. It has been used as a therapeutic tool for emerging viral infections without specific treatment and with high morbidity and mortality, such as Influenza H1N1, H5N1, H7N9, Ebola, MERS, SARS-CoV1, and even SARS-Cov2, with satisfactory results regarding evolution clinic of patients treated and without significant adverse events reported. One of its main advantages of convalescent plasma is to generate a rapid immune response (even faster than a vaccine), against a pathogen that circulates in a specific geographic area, probably common for both donor and recipient.

The Malaysian COVID-19 Anosmia Study is a nationwide multicentre observational study to investigate the prevalence and characteristics of olfactory and gustatory/taste disturbances in COVID-19 infection in Malaysia, and to evaluate the predictive value of screening for these symptoms in COVID-19 infection. This study consists of two phases: the first phase is a cross-sectional study and the second phase is a case-control study. The case-control study is described here (the cross-sectional study is described in a separate ClinicalTrials.gov record).

CovidSurg-Cancer is an international, multicentre, observational cohort study designed to evaluate the 30-day COVID-19 infection rates in elective cancer surgery during the COVID-19 pandemic. Centres can elect to include one or more cancer types in the study, in any combination, depending on local expertise and capacity. During the pilot study, investigators should enrol patients with confirmed diagnoses of: - Colorectal cancer - Oesophagogastric cancer As a rapid response study to the COVID-19 pandemic, included cancer types will evolve throughout the course of the CovidSurg-Cancer study period, for example, to include breast, liver, pancreatic, gynaecological, urological cancers, or sarcomas.
