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.

The Clinical trial aim to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of the administration of the intravenous prostaglandin E1 analog in the reduction of mortality and complications of patients with COVID-19 diagnosis. Therefore the investigators propose an open randomized clinical trial in the Fundación Santa Fe de Bogota

Background: Based on data from the 2003 SARS-COVID pandemic, other serious lung infections, and patients with respiratory distress, it is estimated that 10-30% of patients with severe SARS-COVID-2 pneumonia may present as a sequel an organized pneumonia. The treatment of this complication is not well defined. The use of oral corticosteroids is mandatory to avoid a possible evolution to pulmonary fibrosis, however, the doses to be administered and the duration of treatment are unknown as there is no study specifically aimed at solving this doubt. Many authors advocate high-dose treatment regimens for a minimum of six months, as proposed for cryptogenic organized pneumonia. However, there is a question whether in non-idiopathic cases of organized pneumonia, less intense treatment could resolve the disease. Hypothesis: The use of a less intensive prednisone regimen may be sufficient for therapeutic control in patients with post-COVID-19 organizing pneumonia, in relation to the established standard regimen Simplicity of the procedures: The objective of the NORCOVID study is to identify the optimal treatment regimen with corticosteroids in post-COVID19 patients diagnosed with NO. Specifically, the primary objective of this multicenter randomized trial is to evaluate whether treatment with a less intensive regimen of corticosteroids produces a non-inferior therapeutic effect than the established control regimen. Secondary objectives are to evaluate the effect of treatment on secondary efficacy variables and on safety. DLCO, respiratory function tests, 6MWT test, need for rescue, radiological tests, complications, mortality and the WHO ordinal scale will be evaluated.
National Cancer Institute (NCI)
This phase I/II trial investigates the best dose and side effects of leflunomide and how well it works in treating patients with COVID-19 and a past or present cancer. Leflunomide has been used since the 1990s as a treatment for rheumatoid arthritis. Experiments done with human cells that were given severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), the virus causing COVID-19, showed that leflunomide was able to reduce the ability of the virus to make copies of itself. The coronavirus uses ribonucleic acid (RNA), a very long molecule that contains genetic information that is like a blueprint for making more copies of itself. Leflunomide inhibits the formation of RNA. The information gained from this study may help researchers to learn whether leflunomide is safe for use in treating patients with COVID-19, and whether it is potentially effective against the disease.
Clinica San Camilo, Argentina
To evaluate the safety and efficacy of the use of inhalational heparin in patients with pulmonary compromise / pneumonia / SARS associated with COVID-19, laboratory with marked inflammation parameters, and prothrombotic state secondary to it (Fibrinogen, Ferritin and / or elevated D-Dimer) , from admission to hospitalization. The combination of inhalation heparin combined with prophylactic doses of LMWH could reduce the progression to severe forms of the disease, and consequently the need for intensive care units and mechanical ventilation.
West Virginia University
Our overarching goal is to improve the outcomes of critically ill COVID-19 patients with or at risk for development of acute kidney injury (AKI). The objective of this study is to determine the role of a protocol to manage urine alkalization using a simple medication that has been used for a very long time, is safe, and without significant side-effects. We aim to determine the feasibility and safety of a urine alkalinization protocol for the prevention of AKI in patients testing positive for COVID-19.

The study aims to evaluate MN-166 (ibudilast) in patients with COVID-19 who are at risk of developing acute respiratory distress syndrome. Subjects will be screened, randomly assigned to MN-166 or placebo groups, receive study drug on Days 1-7, and followed up on Day 14 and Day 28.
Aalborg University Hospital
Patients with COVID-19 and hypoxaemic respiratory failure and admitted to the intensive care unit (ICU) are treated with supplementary oxygen as a standard. However, quality of quantity evidence regarding this practise is low. The aim of the HOT-COVID trial is to evaluate the benefits and harms of two targets of partial pressure of oxygen in arterial blood (PaO2) in guiding the oxygen therapy in acutely ill adult COVID-19 patients with hypoxaemic respiratory failure at ICU admission.
WellStar Health System
The primary objective is to assess the impact of hydroxychloroquine in hospitalized patients with COVID-19 and risk factors for severe/critical disease.

Ivermectin which is an FDA-approved broad spectrum anti-parasitic agent, has also anti-viral activity. In vitro study have shown its activity against SARS-CoV-2, however its clinical effect on patients with COVID-19 never been tested. In this RCT we would like to evaluate the effect of Ivermectin on reduction of viral shedding among mild to moderate COVID-19 patients, and in shortening the symptom resolution time.
