- Expanded Access eRequest
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.
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.

This is a Phase II interventional study testing whether treatment withhydroxychloroquine, Vitamin C, Vitamin D, and Zinc can prevent symptoms of COVID-19

Conditions: COVID-19, Pneumonia, Viral, SARS-COV2
Randomized open label clinical trial carried out at study centers in Sweden, includingKarolinska University Hospital, S:t Göran Hospital, Danderyd Hospital and VästmanlandsHospital. Patients with COVID-19 who are hospitalized with oxygen therapy are eligiblefor inclusion. Subjects are randomized to 14 days of inhalation with ciclesonide 360 µgtwice daily or to standard of care. Primary outcome is duration of received supplementaloxygen therapy. Key secondary outcome is a composite outcome of death and receivedinvasive mechanical ventilation within 30 days.

The purpose of this study is to test whether Fisetin, a senolytic drug, can assist inpreventing an increase in the disease's progression and alleviate complications ofcoronavirus due to an excessive inflammatory reaction.

The aim of this work is to conduct a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlledclinical trial to assess the efficacy and safety of cannabidiol (CBD - 300 mg a day) inpatients infected with SARS-CoV-2.The specific objectives are to assess whether, in patients with mild and moderate formsof SARS-CoV-2, daily use of CBD 300 mg for fourteen days is capable of:i) decrease viral load; ii) modify inflammatory parameters, such as cytokines, measuredfrom serum; iii) reduce clinical and emotional symptoms through daily clinicalevaluation; iv) improve sleep; v) reduce hospitalization and worsen the severity of thedisease; v) Monitor the possible adverse effects of CBD use in these patients.

COVID-19 is a community acquired pneumonia caused by infection with a novel coronavirus,SARS CoV2 and is a serious condition with high mortality in hospitalised patients, forwhich there is no currently approved treatment other than supportive care. Urgentinvestigation of potential treatments for this condition is required.This protocol describes an overarching and adaptive trial designed to provide safety,pharmacokinetic (PK)/ pharmacodynamic (PD) information and exploratory biologicalsurrogates of efficacy which may support further development and deployment of candidatetherapies in larger scale trials of COVID-19 positive patients receiving normal standardof care.Given the spectrum of clinical disease, community based infected patients or hospitalisedpatients can be included. Products requiring parenteral administration will only beinvestigated in hospitalised patients. Patients will be divided into cohorts, a)community b) hospitalised patients with new changes on a chest x-ray (CXR) or a computedtomography (CT) scan or requiring supplemental oxygen and c) hospitalised requiringassisted ventilation. Participants may be recruited from all three of these cohorts,depending on the experimental therapy, its route of administration and mechanism ofaction. The relevant cohort(s) for any given therapy will be detailed in thetherapy-specific appendix.Candidate therapies can be added to the protocol and previous candidates removed fromfurther investigation as evidence emerges. The trial will be monitored by an independentData Monitoring Committee (DMC) to ensure patient safety.Each candidate cohort will include a small cohort of patients randomised to candidatetherapy or existing standard of care management dependent on disease stage at entry.Cohort numbers will be defined in the protocol appendices.This is a Phase IIa experimental medicine trial and as such formal sample sizecalculations are not appropriate.

At least 1 in 6 COVID-19 patients admitted to hospital to receive extra oxygen will dieof complications. In patients with COVID-19, invasive treatment such as mechanicalventilation (e.g. breathing with a machine) is associated with a 50% increased risk ofdeath. Invasive treatments use a lot of healthcare resources in intensive care units andmay lead to further deaths if patients do not have access to care.The investigators aim to improve outcomes for COVID-19 patients by implementinghyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT). HBOT allows patients to breathe 100% oxygen in aspecial chamber at a pressure higher than sea level. It is approved by Health Canada for14 conditions. HBOT is safe when administered by experienced teams.There are two main causes of death in severe COVID-19 respiratory infections: (i) adecreased diffusion of oxygen from the lungs to the blood and (ii) an increasedinflammatory response (also called a "cytokine storm"). HBOT leads to increased oxygenlevel in blood, has strong anti-inflammatory effects, and may destroy the virusresponsible for COVID-19 disease. The initial experience with HBOT and COVID-19 fromChina, France and the United States is promising in that it prevents further worsening ofthe condition and need for intensive care.The investigators propose to test the effectiveness of HBOT for COVID-19 patients who areadmitted to hospital to receive extra oxygen. Using the most rigorous and innovativeresearch methods, this Canadian-led international study will operate at 5 centers across3 countries (Canada: Ottawa, Toronto, Edmonton; Switzerland: Geneva; UK: Rugby/London).The investigators anticipate that when treated by HBOT, COVID-19 patients needing extraoxygen to breathe will see significant health improvements as well as a decrease incomplications, inflammation in the blood, need for invasive care, death, and cost ofcare.
