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.

Ivermectin, a classical antiparasitic and anti-scabies agent, has demonstrated antiviral activity for a variety of viruses including chikungunya virus, zyka virus and dengue virus and was tested as a potentially effective for COVID-19. Although ivermectin demonstrated potent in vitro action by reducing viral load by 5000x after 48 hours of incubation, simultaneous pharmacokinetics simulations suggested that the minimum effective concentrations would be unfeasible to be reached within safety range (EC-50 = 2 Micromol). However, despite the theoretical unfeasible concentrations to be achieved, preliminary observational yet well-structured studies followed by randomized clinical trials (RCTs) demonstrated ivermectin efficacy when combined with hydroxychloroquine, doxycycline or azithromycin, which was corroborated by a recent systematic review and metanalysis. In common, a dose-response effect for effectiveness was observed, and no adverse effects was reported at any dose between 0.2mg/kg/day and 1.0mg/kg/day. Based on the scientific rationale combined with the preliminary evidence, ivermectin has sufficient evidence to be tested in higher doses in a RCT for COVID-19. The investigators propose to test ivermectin at high doses as a treatment for patients recently diagnosed with COVID-19, aiming to explore the possible protective role of high-dose ivermectin in SARS-CoV-2 infection in terms of reduction of clinic and virologic disease duration, and prevention of oxygen use, hospitalization, mechanical ventilation, death, and post-COVID persisting symptoms.

The new coronavirus known as SARS-Cov-2 (severe acute respiratory syndrome -coronavirus 2) was first reported in December 2019 and rapidly became a public health emergency. The COVID-19 pandemic is now affecting sensitive regions with fragile health care systems, such as South America and Africa. Caregivers, in the front line of Covid19 patient management, may accidentally become infected and a source of infection during the incubation phase or in case of asymptomatic infection. The objectives of this project are thus i) to assess SARS-Cov-2 spread over the hospital departments of Bamako by carrying out a systematic molecular screening of patients and caregivers, ii) to evaluate the feasibility of Point-Of-Care molecular assays in Mali and iii) to estimate the immunity acquired from SARS-Cov-2 among health workers through serological testing, allowing also the assessment of asymptomatic caregiver rate and absence of re-infection among the immunized caregivers. Finally, iv) variability of the virus over time and spread of different variants around the world will be studied by sequencing the viral genome.

the study's porpuse is to examine whether Covid-19 causese a reduction in sensorineural hearing and vestibular function in recovered pateints - compared to healthy controls. Both study groups will undergo audiometry, tympanometry, Video Head Impulse testing, Subjective Visual Vertigo testing and Video-Nystamography. Previous audiometry results will also be aquired.

Patients who are critically ill in intensive care with moderate to severe acute respiratory infection often require mechanical ventilation. Prolonged ventilation increases the risk of lung damage and other side effects as a result of long term use of sedation medications. Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation therapy (ECMO), is a relatively new technology that uses a pump to remove blood from the body and return it back to the body after adding oxygen and removing carbon dioxide. ECMO can be used on patients who require mechanical ventilation and can function without the need for ongoing mechanical ventilation, thus reducing risk of side effects. Participants will be randomised into either the early ECMO therapy group or will continue standard treatment involving mechanical ventilation. This pilot study aims to determine if a phase 3 Randomised Control Trial (RCT) is feasible for the use of early ECMO therapy to treat patients with Severe Acute Respiratory Infection (SARI). The success of the study will be determined by the successful recruitment of adult patients, that there is a difference between ECMO utilisation between groups and that there are no safety issues.

The SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19) infection is causing a global pandemic and a major health crisis in France. Immunity is the body's ability to defend itself against infectious agents such as viruses. The progressive acquisition by a large part of the population of immunity to defend itself against the COVID-19 virus is one of the main mechanisms by which a resolution of this pandemic is hoped for. Recovery from infection and protection from the virus is likely to depend on the development of antibodies (proteins produced by the body to neutralize infectious agents) and T-cells (a type of white blood cell in the immune system) that can stop the virus from multiplying and killing it. To date, the way and speed at which the T-lymphocytes active against the virus appear are not known. The development of biological tests to detect T-cells active against the virus in the blood of infected patients is therefore necessary. In this context, we propose you to participate in a study that will study the immune system's response against the sars-CoV-2 virus during and after COVID-19 infection.
