- 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.

Conditions: COVID-19, Cancer
The primary objective of this research study is to assess Radiation Oncology healthcareproviders (i.e. faculty, residents and advanced practice providers (APPs) implementationand perception of telehealth for on treatment patients in lieu of in person on treatmentvisits during standard of care radiotherapy during COVID-19.
University of Manchester
Conditions: SARS Virus
A team at the University of Manchester are developing a test that tcould be helpful indetecting immunity to the Coronavirus (which causes the COVID-19 disease) in participantswith inflammatory arthritis. It is based on a flu assay has already developed; the teamwill replace the flu antigen with a Coronavirus antigen to see if it is effective.This project aims to develop a test to see if people who have had the virus havedeveloped immunity to it. This could help to predict who might or might not get thedisease a second time, who should stay at home to be protected from potential infectionor who will not develop any symptoms, even if exposed to the virus.When vaccination trials against the Coronavirus will be launched, this test could alsohelp to see if the vaccine is effective.
Emory University
Conditions: Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome, COVID-19
The purpose of this pilot study is to measure the impact of non-invasive pneumaticmanipulation of transthoracic pressure on oxygenation in patients with Acute RespiratoryDistress Syndrome (ARDS) due to Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID 19) who are on mechanicalventilator support. This will be achieved by a pneumatic Vest placed around the chestwall of consenting patients who meet inclusion criteria. The Vest is essentially anon-invasive segmental device placed upon the anterior and posterior right and leftaspects of the chest wall. The researchers have the ability to inflate and deflate thechambers of the Vest to achieve preset pressures as determined by the protocol andobserve the patient's physiological response. Participants will have up to four hours ofintervention with the study intervention, followed by 1 hour of post-interventionobservation.
Vanda Pharmaceuticals
Conditions: Coronavirus Infection
This is a randomized, double-blind placebo-controlled trial to investigate the efficacyand safety of tradipitant 85 mg orally given twice daily to treat inflammatory lunginjury associated with severe or critical COVID-19 infection.On evaluation for enrollment, participant will need to meet all inclusion and exclusioncriteria. If participant consents, they will be randomized 1:1 to treatment with eithertradipitant 85 mg PO BID or placebo in addition to standard of care for COVID-19infection as per the protocol at the treating hospital. NEWS 2 will be assessed atscreening and daily following randomization. Inflammatory lab markers as detailed shouldbe collected once per day in the morning, preferably at the same time every morning. Allenrolled participants will have whole blood collected for whole genome sequencing.

Johns Hopkins University
Conditions: Stress, Psychological, Child Behavior, Social Competence
The investigators aim to deliver a tele-wellness supported app to Baltimore City's FamilyChild Care Home (FCCH) providers who are caring for children of Essential Personnel. Oncea pre-survey is conducted, login information will be assigned to 30 Family Child CareHome providers and parents the FCCH serve. Providers and Parents will receive self-careand parenting/parent engagement support through the app and through a tele-wellnessservice, Ask a Nurse, provided by community health nurses at the Johns Hopkins School ofNursing. Children will have access to gamified learning materials in early literacy,math, social-emotional learning, and nutrition.

Conditions: COVID 19, Inflammatory Status
During the current pandemic, in Italy the majority of asymptomatic or pauci-symptomaticCOVID-19 cases were not identified nor diagnosed and this fact caused a decrease in theeffectiveness of the various containment measures implemented. Therefore, in a futurescenario where a new viral swarm is expected, the early identification of all infectedcases becomes essential to plan and activate a containment strategy for the spread of thevirus, given the current absence of vaccines.The typical radiological finding of COVID-19 is an interstitial pneumonia, which can beresponsible, in a significant portion of patients, of an acute respiratory distresssyndrome (ARDS).Low-dose chest CT and simple blood tests could identify sub-solid pulmonary nodules(SSNs) indicative of COVID-19 infection in asymptomatic subjects.Objectives of this observational study are the early detection of COVID-19 markersindicative of prior exposure or persisting viral infection in asymptomatic subjects andthe assessment of the frequency and outcome of COVID-19-related SSNs in asymptomaticsubjects by time, domicile, and other individual risk factors.SMILE lung CT screening program cohort has been considered, based on 960 subjects at highlung cancer risk for tobacco smoking (≥20 pack/year) and age (50-75 years), together withinflammatory and respiratory profile. SMILE utilizes a top technology dual-source CTscanner (Somatom Force) with the lowest radiation dose ever applied to lung screening.All chest CT images from screening subjects will be re-evaluated by two additional CADprograms, specifically designed for the analysis of SSNs and quantification of the totalvolume of lung parenchyma showing an increased density. This re-evaluation will improvethe sensitivity and specificity of radiomic assessment.This study cohort, enriched by the already established longitudinal biobank of frozenplasma samples, represent an ideal opportunity to assess the frequency of SSNs inasymptomatic subjects, due to the effect of COVID-19, particularly among subjects livingin areas at high risk of viral exposure. It will also be possible to evaluate ifCOVID-19-related SSNs are associated with chronic co-morbidity, other individual riskfactors, inflammatory (CRP) / immunomodulatory (25(OH)D) blood profile, and/or can betraced by immune markers such as IgM/IgG and other cytokines.Clinical data will be integrated with an analysis of the IgG-IgM profile specific forcovid-19, on the plasma samples taken at the time of the CT scan, or subsequently, incollaboration with University of Milan, Luigi Devoto Work Clinic.The lasting collaboration with the Radiological Science Department of the University ofParma in lung screening also offers the opportunity to validate the results obtained inthis cohort on chest CT performed at the University Parma Hospital during the last twomonths in symptomatic subjects for suspected covid-19 pneumonia.In collaboration with University of Milano Bicocca, Machine Learning (ML) tools will beapplied to predict the clinical relevance, severity and ultimate outcome of SSNs, basedon radiomic CT features, epidemiologic risk, co-morbidity and inflammatory/immune bloodbiomarkers. ML analysis will generate a predictive algorithm for clinical outcome ofSSNs, and specifically the risk of COV-I9 infection and unfavorable disease prognosis.
