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.

Coronavirus-2019 disease (COVID-19) and community-acquired pneumonia are significant problems of modern medicine. Pneumonia is the most common severe complication of COVID-19. But at the same time, COVID-19 is not the only cause of community-acquired pneumonia. Moreover, pneumonia is only one of the numerous possible severe complications of COVID-19. Medical centers specialized for the hospital treatment of patients with severe COVID-19 and community-acquired pneumonia were organized in different regions of Russia during coronavirus pandemic-2020. The indications for hospitalization to one of these centers based in the National Medical and Surgical Center (NMSC) are: confirmed or suspected severe COVID-19 or community-acquired pneumonia. A prospective medical registry of such patients hospitalized to NMSC, is intended to analyze and compare their clinical and instrumental data, co-morbidity, treatment, short-term and long-term outcomes in real clinical practice. Stage 1. Hospital treatment in NMSC Duration of this stage: from the date of admission to the hospital up to the date of discharge from the hospital / or up to the date of death during the reference hospitalization. The date of admission to the hospital will be the date of enrollment to the study. Evaluation of electronic health record data using the Medical Information System (MIS). Assessment of the outcomes of the hospital phase (discharge from the hospital, death) and significant events (acute respiratory and pulmonary failure, requiring mechanical ventilation; cardiovascular events - myocardial infarction, cerebral stroke, acute heart failure, paroxysmal heart rhythm disturbances, bleedings, thrombosis of large vessels and thromboembolic complications). A survey of patients to clarify data on risk factors, somatic diseases, and drug therapy before hospitalization. COVID-19 was diagnosed when severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection was confirmed by Polymerase chain reaction (PCR). Pneumonia was confirmed according to computerized tomography (CT) data. Stage 2. Prospective outpatient follow-up for 24 months Duration of this stage: 24 months after discharge from the hospital This work will be delivered by investigators from the National Medical Research Center for Therapy and Preventive Medicine. Evaluation of long-term outcomes and events among residents of Moscow and the Moscow Region according to a patient survey (contact by phone for 30-60 days, 6 months, 12 and 24 months after discharge from the hospital) and medical records.

This study will test the COVID-19 vaccine candidate AZD1222 to investigate its safety, tolerability and capability of boosting immune responses both in the blood and the lung when administered to the respiratory tract, in volunteers previously vaccinated by intramuscular COVID-19 vaccination. Using standardised methods, we will measure immune responses in the blood, nose and lower airway and compare with data from ongoing clinical trials of intramuscular vaccination. Thus, we will show the effect of the delivery method and provide the critical information required to begin further clinical trials to show the efficacy of this needle-free vaccination strategy for booster vaccination.

The COVID-19 pandemic is caused by the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS CoV-2), an emerging coronavirus, which has already infected 192 million people with a case fatality rate close to 2%. About 5% of patients infected with SARS CoV-2 have a critical form with organ failure. Among critical patients admitted to intensive care, about 70% of them will require ventilatory assistance by invasive mechanical ventilation (MV) with a mortality rate of 35% and a median MV duration of 12 days. The most severe lung damage resulting from SARS CoV-2 infection is the acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). The virus infects alveolar epithelial cells and capillary endothelial cells leading to an activation of endothelium, hypercoagulability and thrombosis of pulmonary capillaries. This results in abnormal ventilation / perfusion ratios and profound hypoxemia. To date, the therapeutic management of severe SARS CoV-2 pneumonia lay on the early use of corticosteroids and Interleukin-6 (IL-6) receptor antagonist, which both reduce the need of MV and mortality. The risk factors of death in Intensive Care Unit (ICU) are: advanced age, severe obesity, coronary heart disease, active cancer, severe hypoxemia, and hepatic and renal failure on admission. Among MV patients, the death rate is doubled in those with both reduced thoracopulmonary compliance and elevated D-dimer levels. Patients with severe alveolar damage are at risk of progressing towards irreversible pulmonary fibrosis, the incidence of which still remain unknown. The diagnosis of pulmonary fibrosis is based on histology but there are some non-invasive alternative methods (serum or bronchoalveolar biomarkers, chest CT scan). We aim to assess the incidence of pulmonary fibrosis in patients with severe SARS CoV-2 related pneumonia. We will investigate the prognostic impact of fibrosis on mortality and the number of days alive free from MV at Day 90. Finally, we aim to identify risk factors of fibrosis.

Thymalfasin (thymosin alpha 1 or Ta1), the active pharmaceutical ingredient in ZADAXIN® injection, is a 28-amino acid synthetic peptide, identical to natural Ta1 produced by the thymus gland. Ta1 is a biological response modifier which activates various cells of the immune system, and is therefore expected to have clinical benefits in disorders where immune responses are impaired or ineffective, including acute and chronic viral and bacterial infections, cancers, and vaccine non-responsiveness. Patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD) on hemodialysis, in addition to their intrinsic kidney disease and frequent burden of comorbidities, also have increased risk of exposure to communicable diseases as they are treated several times each week at hemodialysis centers with several other patients and clinic staff in attendance. The majority of patients are over 60 years of age and many are receiving immunosuppressive medications. Accordingly, ESRD patients are particularly susceptible to COVID-19 infection. Ta1 has been shown to be safely administered to hemodialysis patients. It is our hypothesis that a course of Ta1 administered to individuals with ESRD will reduce the rate and severity of infection with COVID-19.
