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 trial is focusing on blood pressure control for patients with high blood pressure (hypertension) during the COVID-19 pandemic when seeing a doctor for advice may be difficult. The study utilises remote consultations by telephone or video conferencing. Patients record blood pressure and data into an electronic diary on their phone which is reviewed in consultations every 2 weeks by a clinician. Medication for this trial is amlodipine as an oral solution which is uptitrated accordingly for patients receiving medication (anticipated 200). 800 patients will be in an observational group recording the same readings and will not receive any medication.

The aim of the present work is to describe the hemodynamic effects shown in patients with ARDS secondary to SARS-CoV-2 infection
Centre Hospitalier Universitaire Dijon
In this study, the investigators are attempting to evaluate the influence of socio-economic factors on the functional recovery (physical and psychological) of patients who developed ARDS after a COVID-19 infection, with the aim of offering personalized medical and social follow-up and support measures in order to avoid medium- and long-term complications, which can result in handicaps, reduced quality of life, and a higher risk of death.

Since ARDS is a major complication of COVID - 19 with subsequent formation of non-cardiogenic pulmonary edema , worsening the oxygenation of the patients and foamy and even bloody sputum formation, so the idea is to use alcohol inhalation as it reduce surface tension on the alveoli and markedly decrease sputum formation with improvement on oxygenation beside its cytolethal effect on virus lipid bilayer. A lot of researches and publications proved the role of alcohol inhalation in treatment of pulmonary edema. Alcohol inhalation may has inflammatory effect and dangerous effect on patients but this can be controlled by the actual concentration used and the way we use it according to general condition of the patient and with the help of anti - inflammatory action of Asprin .

This pilot, prospective study will assess the safety and efficacy of COVID-19 convalescent plasma versus standard care as treatment for severe and/or critical COVID-19 (as defined in the inclusion criteria) in adults 18 years of age and older. A total of 350 eligible subjects will receive a transfusion of anti-SARS-CoV2 ( severe acute respiratory syndrome) convalescent plasma.

The COVID-19 pandemic is having a profound impact on the world. As of May 18, 2020, there were 4,889,287 confirmed cases and 322,683 deaths globally. The healthcare system is wrestling with a virus that threatens to overwhelm hospital capacity, while simultaneously confronting an unprecedented reduction in elective and non-essential care. A survey by the American Cancer Society showed that 50% of cancer patients and survivors reported some impact to their healthcare due to the COVID-19 epidemic. A recent survey was conducted by Forbes et al to evaluate the changes in GI and endoscopy practices in North America. However, the impact of this epidemic on Pulmonology units ( bronchoscopy, thoracoscopy, ultrsonography and sleep lab) globally has not been studied.

Patients diagnosed of COVID-19 disease are randomized to receive a single dose of 100.000 IU of Cholecalciferol (Vitamin D arm) or no vitamin D (on top of the current medication used to treat COVID 19). Clinical, radiological and biochemical outcomes of COVID 19 disease as well as mortality are evaluated.
Istituto Clinico Humanitas
The main purpose of this study is to identify possible predictor factor of mortality in patients affected by COVID-19 with respiratory failure needing oxygen therapy or ventilatory support. In addiction the study aims to identify factors related to: predisposition to SARS-CoV2 viral infection, different symptoms, response to therapy, predisposition to complications related to the disease. To this end, the haemodynamic parameters and all imaging reports will be evaluated and clinical and laboratory tests as well as cellular and molecular analyzes will be performed in the analyzed patients. In addition, investigations will be carried out on the profile of the alveolar or nasal microbiota and, if possible, of the metabolic products, and estimates on antibody titers.

This study is a randomized, double-blinded, and placebo controlled phase 1&2 clinical trial of the SARS-CoV-2 inactivated vaccine manufactured by Sinovac Research & Development Co., Ltd. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and immunogenicity of the experimental vaccine in healthy children and adolescents aged 3-17 years

A randomized double blind control trial will be done. Total 188 Covid-19 patients will be enrolled in this trial who are RT-PCR confirmed case of mild cases. Before enrollment, base line investigations will be done and as per eligibility criteria 188 (one hundred eighty eight) patients of mild symptoms will be selected by random sampling. Ninety four diagnosed patients (Group-A) of Covid-19 will be in the experimental group and 94 Covid-19 diagnosed patients (Group-B) will be in the control group. Group -A will be given combination treatment of Tab Ivermectin and Cap Doxycycline along with standard therapy and Group -B will be treated by standard therapy with placebo. Follow up will be done every day in both group with all the parameters as stated above and will be documented. On 5th day of treatment, if fever subsides final outcome will be measured by result of RT-PCR test preferably from one designated lab with sample of nasal swab for all. Subject to RT-PCR test negative result again on 6th day another RT-PCR test will be done at 24 hours apart. But if RT-PCR test result remain positive on 5th day, again on 10th day same test is to be done and also on 11th day subject to test result as negative on 10th day. Death of the patients will be documented as well. Regarding safety issues of the drugs we shall monitor for any SAE and would report to the DSMB for proper management guideline
