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 COVID-19 pandemic is a global emergency threatening to take millions of lives in the United States and around the world. There is no current vaccine strategy against COVID-19 infection caused by a novel coronavirus named SARS-CoV-2. Studies with a related coronavirus called SARS-CoV-1 that caused the SARS outbreak in 2003 indicated that memory CD8+ T cells recognizing viral epitopes persisted for more than 6 years post infection while neutralizing antibodies and memory B cells were short-lived and were undetectable after a short period of time (Tang et al., 2011; Peng et al., 2006; Channappanavar et al., 2014). Thus, including viral epitopes that are recognized by memory CD8+ T cells is imperative for vaccines that can provide long-term immunity against SARS-CoV-2. In this study, blood samples from COVID-19 patients who have recovered from the infection will be used to identify the viral epitopes recognized by their memory CD8+ T cells. This will be accomplished using a genome-wide, high-throughput screening technology developed at Harvard Medical School (Kula et al., 2019) and licensed by the study sponsor, TScan Therapeutics. A 24,000-member library that tiles across all ~100 viral isolates of SARS-CoV-2 that have been sequenced so far has already been synthesized at TScan. Blood samples from convalescent patients are urgently needed to identify T cell receptors and immunogenic viral epitopes on SARS-CoV-2. It is the hope that these data will inform development of a vaccine with the potential for long-lasting protection against SARS-CoV-2.
National Cancer Institute (NCI)
The established Insight(TM) mHealth Platform, a component of the Stephenson Cancer Center (SCC) mHealth Shared Resource will be used to create the "Symptom Tracker" app. The Symptom Tracker (Insight(TM)) app will enable real-time monitoring of cancer patient symptoms that are consistent with early signs of SARS-CoV-2 infection in this high-risk population by automatically (and securely) transferring this information to health care providers. The primary aim of this study is to determine the feasibility, ease of use, and perceived utility of this app to monitor symptoms and health risk behaviors among cancer patients currently receiving chemotherapy.

The purpose of this study is to determine if temporary androgen suppression improves the clinical outcomes of Veterans who are hospitalized to an acute care ward due to COVID-19.
Biocad
The objective: to study the efficacy and safety of levilimab in subjects with severe COVID-19.
Hellenic Institute for the Study of Sepsis
Recent information appearing from different countries suggest that treatment of Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) with hydroxychloroquine or with a combination of hydroxychloroquine and azithromycin has either an indifferent effect on viral replication or substantial cardiotoxicity. This is a clinical trial aiming to prove that addition of oral clarithromycin to treatment regimen of COVID-19 is associated with early clinical improvement and attenuation of the high inflammatory burden of the host. The study will not comprise a placebo-comparator group since this is considered inappropriate in an era of a pandemic with substantial global mortality.
University of Milano Bicocca
This is a multicenter observational retrospective cohort study that aims to study the morphological characteristics of the lung parenchyma of SARS-CoV2 positive patients identifiable in patterns through artificial intelligence techniques and their impact on patient outcome.
Hôpital de Verdun
Prone positioning is an established intervention in mechanically ventilated acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) patients, with demonstrated reductions in mortality. Preliminary data suggest that awake proning in patients with COVID-19 treated with high-flow nasal oxygenation (HFNO) improves gas exchanges, and might be associated with a reduced need of mechanical ventilation, and reduced mortality. Further investigation in a formal randomized-controlled trial is need.

The outbreak of a new Coronavirus disease (COVID-19), caused by the 2019-nCoV infection in December 2019 is one of the most severe global epidemic health problems.The rapid contagion of this Novel virus has provoked the World Health Organization (WHO) to classifying the outbreak as a "Public Health Emergency of International Concern" on January 30 2020 to a "Pandemic" on March 11th 2020
