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 is an open-label, pragmatic, single-dose study using matched controls in participants with mild to moderate COVID-19. Participants will track for developing symptoms while at home and upon reporting of symptoms will test for COVID-19. If positive for COVID-19, a one-time at-home infusion of Bamlanivimab (LY3819253) will be provided by Optum Infusion. Participants will then track for 28 days to assess for any additional medical care needed or if hospitalization was required.

COVID-19 infection manifests in its severe form as acute alveolo-interstitial and vascular pneumonitis. However, long-term outcome remains unknown. A progression to fibrosing pneumonia could affect 10 to 30% of survivors of severe forms, making it a public health problem through secondary disability. The project concerns the analysis of CT images of patients followed at the Avicenne APHP hospital (Bobigny) in collaboration with two expert image treatment/modelling teams for an evaluation of vascular remodelling and mechanical simulation of the regional lung compliance. These parameters obtained at 2-4 months of COVID-19 infection will be correlated with clinical, CT, and functional data at 6 months and 1 year follow-up. This project should make it possible to understand the COVID-19 infection manifests as an acute alveolo-interstitial and vascular pneumonitis in its severe form. However, long-term outcome remains unknown. It has been hypothesized that a progression to fibrosing pneumonia could affect 10 to 30% of survivors of severe forms, making it a public health problem through secondary disability. But there is no parameter which could currently allow to predict such an outcome. The SILICOVILUNG project is based on the CT images analysis of patients followed at the Avicenne APHP hospital (Bobigny, France) after severe COVID pneumonitis in collaboration with two expert image treatment/modelling teams [ Artemis Telecom Sud-Paris (Evry, France) and LMS INRIA Ecole Polytechnique (Palaiseau, France)] for an evaluation of vascular remodeling and mechanical simulation of the regional lung compliance using a poromechanical model. These parameters obtained at 2-4 months of COVID-19 infection will be correlated with clinical, CT, and functional data at 6 months and 1-year follow-up. This project should make it possible to understand the mechanisms of regional physiology in the evolution of COVID-19 pneumonias in their severe forms and to anticipate the development or not of sequelae, particularly fibrosing.

This is a stepped-wedge cluster randomized trial to assess effectiveness of Sinovac's Adsorbed COVID-19 (Inactivated) vaccine. Residents in the urban area of a municipality are eligible to participate. The city was divided in clusters and those cluster were grouped to determine the offer of vaccination in four steps. The vaccine will be offered to adults (18 years old and above) according to the location of their homes in a cluster. The vaccine schedule is two doses with four-weeks interval. Baseline samples to determine previous immunity will be collected before vaccination. Cases of COVID-19 reported in the city will be recorded according to the WHO clinical progression scale. Comparison of periods before and after vaccination and relation to immunization coverage will be considered for the assessment of effectiveness in the clusters and groups of clusters.

This study aims to evaluate the immunogenicity of Moderna mRNA-1273 vaccine in volunteers aged 65 years or more compared to volunteers aged 18-45 years, over 24 months duration. It will provide necessary data on the early immunological response to the vaccine and its evolution in quantitative and qualitative terms. This study will allow establishing how aging influences the response to the vaccine and help to adapt the vaccinal plan. For instance it will suggest the necessity of a vaccination booster.

COVID-19 is a respiratory disease caused by a novel coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2) and causes substantial morbidity and mortality. Nosocomial acquisition of SARS-CoV-2 is a frequent concern across hospital settings in Canada and is associated with substantial morbidity and mortality. This clinical trial is initially designed to evaluate the role of monoclonal antibodies against the SARS-CoV-2 spike protein, for the treatment of hospitalized patients who acquire COVID19 via nosocomial infection. New treatments, as they become available, may be integrated, with appropriate adaptation of this document. The trial was initiated with the bamlanivimab product with the options of casirivimab/imdesimab and sotrovimab added as the prevalence of bamlanivimab resistant variants of concerns increased. It is believed that monoclonal antibody treatments are most likely to be effective early in the disease course. The ability to rapidly identify and initiate such treatments in patients with nosocomial acquisition of the infection, combined with the high mortality of 25-30% experienced by this group of patients led us to propose this trial in collaboration with the CATCO national network. The overall objective of the study is to evaluate the safety and clinical effectiveness of anti-SARS-CoV-2 monoclonal antibody treatment relative to the control arm, in patients who develop nosocomial SARS-CoV-2 infection, on need for mechanical ventilation or death. This study is designed as a pragmatic randomized, open-label, controlled clinical trial. Subjects will be randomized to receive either standard-of-care (control) or the study medication on a 1:2 basis. Bamlanivimab, casirivimab/imdesimab or sotrovimab will be administered intravenously as a one-time infusion after randomization. Casirivimab/imdesimab (REGN) and sotrovimab will be the default agents based on local availability unless both are unavailable AND virus strain known to be native or alpha (B.1.1.7). Incidence of infusion-related reactions in the 24 hours post administration.

Profile known and novel biomarkers in blood in COVID19 patients to characterize the host response to SARS-CoV-2 over time and in response to treatment. The investigators aim to: - Better understand the disease. The investigators will achieve this by characterizing the biology of COVID-19 infection and the pathophysiology of the host response using clinical data together with cellular and molecular measurements over the course of the disease. This will allow better insights for the discovery and development of novel therapeutics. - Understand why different patients have different phenotypes and disease presentations over time. The investigators will achieve this by analyzing for patient subgroups. This will allow targeted patient stratification and better matching of resources. - Understand how patients are responding to the different medications being tested in clinical trials. The investigators will achieve that by co-enrolling with therapeutic trials. This will allow an understanding of the biological effects of these interventions. Study Design: Observational adaptive study of a translational nature, combining clinical data and basic science investigations in blood samples in the same patients, longitudinally, with serial interim analyses. Primary outcomes: 90 day ICU mortality. Secondary outcomes: measures of ICU utilization and disease severity, and 90 day in-hospital mortality. The study ends after 3 months from admission to the ICU, hospital discharge or death. Location: St. Michael's Hospital (Unity Health Toronto), an academic center in downtown Toronto affiliated with the University of Toronto. The investigators will collect: A) Detailed clinical data including investigations, mechanical ventilation and cardiovascular parameters. B) Blood samples for state-of-the-art multi-omics biomarker discovery and development: cytokines, anti-COVID19 antibodies, autoimmune serology, metabolomics, transcriptomics, epigenomics, deep immune phenotyping, viral loads. For those patients who die with COVID19 The investigators will perform bedside post-mortem biopsies of lung, heart, kidney and muscle. Sampling times: From admission to the maximal severity phase through convalescence, in order to capture the evolution and dynamics of the disease and the recovery process: days 0,1, 3, 5, 7, 10, 15 and 22, and then every 2 weeks until the end of the study (3 months from admission to the ICU, hospital discharge or death).

In the context of the COVID-19 pandemic, concerns of the risk of infection may lead to fear, anxiety or psychological disorders that may become generalised and long-lasting, corresponding to post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). PTSD generally occurs in circumstances such as terrorist attacks, hostage-taking, bombings, aggression, accidents... The current health crisis also represents an increased risk of PTSD. After the first moments of stress, the illness becomes more diffuse: personality change (introverted/extraverted), sleep disorders, heart problems, hypervigilance reaction, agoraphobia, symptoms of reminiscence, irritability, decreased concentration, memory loss... In some people, PTSD can lead to more disabling problems such as (crowd) avoidance. In order to help patients with PTSD, clinical psychology offers therapeutic approaches which, starting from a debriefing with the patient, provide supportive therapy which (i) reassures by providing information on the symptomatology, in order to play down the present state of mind, (ii) allows for the expression of what was experienced during the event, (iii) initiates a process of elaboration of the trauma through transference. A study initiated at the François Baclesse Centre during the first confinement, which included 735 patients from April to June 2020, made it possible to assess the impact of the pandemic linked to COVID-19 on the care of cancer patients treated in day hospitals, but also to evaluate the PTSD experienced by patients, sleep difficulties, quality of life, cognitive complaints and confinement conditions using validated questionnaires. This study showed that 21% of patients had proven PTSD and 23% had insomnia problem. This study proposes to evaluate the value of adapted psychological care for patients with PTSD in relation to the pandemic on the improvement of PTSD, as well as on resilience, quality of life and sleep.
