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.

This study proposes to evaluate the therapeutic efficacy, immunologic effects and normalization of laboratory parameters for patients at high risk for mortality when infected by SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19) when administered one unit (approximately 200 mL) of convalescent plasma administered over a period of one hour. Following administration of the convalescent plasma, physical exam/clinical assessment information is collected daily and routine lab result data is collected every three days.

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

Study objective is to evaluate the efficacy of the combination of masitinib and isoquercetin in adult hospitalized patients with moderate and severe COVID-19.
University Hospital, Toulouse
For the last years, studies have described the " Post-intensive care Syndrome " (PICS), which consists in alteration of quality of life, cognition, autonomy and psychological disorders within the months after intensive-care. Patients with COVID-19 in intensive care units are at high risks to develop PICS. The primary objective is to analyse the incidence of the post-traumatic stress disorder at 12 months after intensive-care for a COVID-19 Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome (ARDS).

The physical inactivity promoted by the patient's hospitalization, including those infected with the coronavirus, can lead to an important health impairment, including atrophy and loss of muscle function. Thus, a prospective study will be conducted to assess the effect of a home-based exercise training program on health outcomes and quality of life in COVID-19 survivors.
University Hospital of Ferrara
COVID19 patients survivors, after discharge from hospital show reduced lung function and reduced ability to exercise. Furthermore, mental health problems including stress, anxiety and depression and a low quality of life were observed. The prospective observational study involves COVID19 patients who have needed rehabilitation at the University Hospital of Ferrara. Patients receive comprehensive rehabilitation based on their specific needs in both acute and subacute rehabilitation. At the end of hospital rehabilitation, patients are offered a program to be carried out at home for both physical and psychological problems. A range of demographic and clinical data will be collected. Patients will also undergo a battery of functional, cognitive and psychological tests at 12, 26 and 52 weeks from the infection onset. Moreover, a specific assessement (both clinical and instrumental) on the pain symptom experienced, where present, will be done.

The CVP-COVID19 registry is both a retrospective and prospective study design in order to identify predictors of cardiovascular disease progression and mortality for COVID-19. The registry enrolls consecutive patients with positive microbiological tests for SARS-CoV-2 admitted 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 treated according to good clinical practice. Patients characteristics, including medical history (with particular attention to cardiovascular and pneumological risk factors), features of physical examination, results laboratory and radiological tests and treatments (pre- and in-hospital) are related with patient outcome. Logistic analysis (univariate, multivariate and propensity) are performed in order to identify factors associated with disease progression. Primary endpoint: mortality.

Richmond Research Institute (RRI) is applying existing and new COVID-19 PCR and antibody tests to help develop methodologies which provide fast and accurate results. Infection with coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2) is currently a worldwide pandemic and reliable testing for COVID-19 is crucial to understand who is infected and therefore a risk to others by spreading the infection. RRI are currently carrying out the following tests: A. Using a membrane-based immunoassay to detect IgG and IgM antibodies to SARS-CoV-2 in whole blood, serum or plasma specimens helps to assess whether an individual has previously had the virus and is potentially immune B. Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) testing using an established method to check for active SARS-CoV-2 infections. C. Quantification of anti-SARS-CoV-2 IgG and IgM antibodies in whole blood samples. The above tests are being used by RRI to follow infections (PCR) and immunity (IgG) in their workforce, as well as their families (including children) and visitors to their site. Collecting this data allows the gathering of epidemiological data on SARS-CoV-2 including incidence, prevalence, information on asymptomatic carriers and efficacy of vaccination. Furthermore, identifying individuals that are infected with SARS-CoV-2 has great potential to improve health outcomes by allowing infected individuals to seek the correct medical treatment as well as self-isolate and reduce transmission.

Background: COVID-19 is an acute respiratory syndrome. One symptom of COVID-19 is a reduction in the number of cells called lymphocytes in the blood. Lymphocytes are a type of white blood cell that fights infections. With fewer lymphocytes, the body cannot effectively fight back against SARS CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19. Researchers want to better understand how SARS-CoV-2 affects these blood cells. This information may give them ideas for new treatments. Objective: To learn more about how SARS-CoV-2 affects lymphocytes, the immune, and the blood clotting system. Eligibility: Adults age 18 and older who either currently have COVID-19 or have recently recovered from it Design: Participants will give a blood sample. For this, a needle is used to collect blood from an arm vein. For participants who have a central line, blood will be collected through that instead. Participants medical records related to COVID-19 will be reviewed. Participants who have recovered from COVID-19 will be asked to undergo leukapheresis to collect white blood cells. For this, blood is taken from a needle placed in one arm. A machine separates out the white blood cells. The rest of the blood is returned to the participant through a needle placed in the other arm. This takes about 2-3 hours. Recovered participants may have material collected from inside the nostrils and/or rectum. This is done by gently rubbing the area with a sterile cotton swab. Recovered participants may have an echocardiogram to look at their heart. For this, a small probe is held against the chest to get pictures of the heart from different angles. This takes less than 30 minutes. Participation lasts 1-2 days on most cases and may be split in a few visits for recovered patients if leukapheresis and echocardiogram are done. ...
