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.

SOLIDARITY Finland Long-COVID trial assesses the effects of remdesivir + standard of care (SoC) vs. only SoC on long-COVID symptoms and quality of life (QoL) using questionnaires at one and two years post-discharge. Objectives i) Long-COVID symptoms - To investigate the effect of remdesivir (vs. SoC) on the occurrence of symptoms that have been associated with the long-COVID syndrome. The questionnaires will take place 1 and 2 years after the hospital admission. - The symptom questionnaire - that will be completed by patients at one and two years - measures basic patient information (age, height, weight, smoking status, major comorbidity, and working status) and a wide variety of potential long-COVID-symptoms and their bother (1. Fatigue; 2. Attention deficits; 3. Memory problems; 4. Sleeping difficulties; 5. Depressive mood; 6. Anxiety; 7. Dizziness; 8. Headache; 9. Tinnitus; 10. Paresthesias; 11. Changes in taste/smell perceptions; 12. Postexertional malaise; 13. Palpitations; 14. Chest discomfort; 15. Nausea; 16. Skin rash; 17. Joint aches; 18. Muscle pains; 19. Continuous cough; 20. Respiratory tract mucous discharges) in remdesivir and usual care arms ii) Quality of life - EQ-VAS: to compare patients' quality of life in remdesivir and usual care arms. - EQ-5D-5L questionnaire assesses the following domains: 1. Mobility; 2. Self-care; 3. Usual activities; 4. Pain and discomfort; 5. Anxiety and depression; 6. The VAS of subjective perception of overall health. Additionally (at 1 or 2 years; depending on future funding and ethical approval decisions; currently the study has ethical approval for long-COVID and quality of life assessments only): - The Finnish healthcare registries (Statistics Finland Mortality Database and the HILMO Care Register for Health Care) will be used to estimate long-term mortality and incidence of major comorbidity in remdesivir and usual care arms - Lung function will be assessed using spirometry and diffusing capacity, as well as the six-minute walk test (6 mwt) in remdesivir and usual care arms - Whole-genome genotyping will be performed for a genome-wide association study to investigate genetic correlates of long-COVID-19 -symptoms in remdesivir and usual care arms UPDATE 02.02.2022: Primary outcomes will comprise the following: 1. EQ-VAS 2. EQ-5D-5L, summary 3. Does the patient feel recovered from COVID-19-infection at one year or not? (question no. 10) 4. Fatigue (questionnaire, question no. 14) 5. Exertional dyspnea (question no. 12)

The COntAGIouS trial (COvid-19 Advanced Genetic and Immunologic Sampling; an in-depth characterization of the dynamic host immune response to coronavirus SARS-CoV-2) proposes a transdisciplinary approach to identify host factors resulting in hyper-susceptibility to SARS-CoV-2 infection, which is urgently needed for directed medical interventions.

In the United Kingdom, there are currently 138,000 confirmed patients with coronavirus, causing 18,738 deaths. Whilst the disease may be mild in the majority of patients, a significant proportion of patients require intensive care therapy and a ventilator due to lung injury. In addition to lung injury/failure (acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS)), around 50% of patients admitted to intensive care develop acute kidney injury (AKI) (requiring advanced support via haemofiltration) and multi-organ failure. It is unclear why patients suffering from COVID-19 develop such severe lung injury (requiring life support or ventilation) or indeed why patients develop other organ dysfunction such as kidney injury. The investigators hypothesis that this may due to an over-reaction of the immune system particularly in the lungs. This then results in the release of various mediators and biological messengers which can be pushed into the blood bloodstream (exacerbated by positive pressure generated by the ventilator). These mediators then travel, via the blood, to other organs such as the kidney where they cause inflammation and injury of cells, resulting in organ failure. The investigators would like to apply their well-established laboratory methods to further the scientific community's knowledge of this severe and deadly viral condition and we hope that this would lead to the development of medication that would treat this deadly virus.

The VIGIL study was set up at the beginning of the pandemic, in the spring of 2020, at a time when diagnostic testing for SARS-CoV-2 had to be performed according to specific clinical criteria (even if no clinical picture suggestive of COVID had been clearly identified). The management of sick young children (with respiratory tract infection that could be attributed to COVID) by pediatricians (infectious diseases specialists, emergency physicians, general practitioners, and outpatients) was facilitated by an algorithm whose objective was to help define the indications for SARS-CoV-2 PCR and subsequently for antigenic testing. The current technique of deep nasopharyngeal swabbing (for PCR or antigenic testing) is delicate and difficult in children, and is therefore a serious handicap for community-based screening, especially since infectious episodes are frequent in children. Since then, nasal self-tests that can be easily used in children have been commercialized and have facilitated screening. Because of the similarity between the clinical signs of respiratory tract infections in children, it is often impossible to distinguish between different viral respiratory infections and epidemics may overlap in time. However, the identification of the pathogen is the key to improve management of these infectious diseases. The VIGIL study is therefore continuing, still facilitated by the existence of an active pediatric network existing for 20 years. ACTIV AFPA and GPIP have created networks of hospital and ambulatory pediatricians who actively participate in various observatories https://www.jpeds.com/article/S0022-3476(17)31606-2/fulltext To date, these observatories have resulted in the publication of more than 80 articles in international journals (https://www.activ-france.com/fr/publications).

Background: COVID-19 is a disease caused by the SARS-CoV-2 virus. It infects the respiratory tract. Some people who get COVID-19 have only mild symptoms. But for others, infection leads to pneumonia, respiratory failure, and, in some cases, death. Researchers want to learn more about any effects that may persist after people recover from COVID-19. Objective: To learn about any long-term medical problems that people who have recovered from COVID-19 might have, and whether they develop an immune response to SARS-CoV-2 that provides protection against reinfection. Eligibility: People age 18 and older who have recovered from documented COVID-19 or were in close contact with someone who had COVID-19 but did not get the infection Design: Participants will be screened over 2 visits. During visit 1, they will answer questions about any symptoms they are having and will be tested for SARS-CoV-2 infection which will involve a nasal swab sample or other FDA approved test. If the test is negative, they will proceed to the second visit, which will include: Physical examination Medical history Mental health interview (which may be recorded if the participant agrees) Chest x-ray (for recovered COVID-19 participants only) Blood and urine tests Pregnancy test (if needed) Lung function test (for recovered COVID-19 participants only) 6-minute walk test (for recovered COVID-19 participants only) Questionnaires about their general and mental health Leukapheresis to collect white blood cells (optional). Participants will be put into 1 of 2 groups: the COVID-19 group or the close contact group. Participants will have study visits every 6 months for 3 years. They will repeat some of the screening tests. Participants in the COVID-19 group may have visits more often if they develop symptoms that suggest re-infection with SARS-CoV-2....
