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.

COVID-19 is a respiratory disease caused by a new coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2) and causes significant morbidity and mortality. This study is a retrospective trial to assess the efficacy of Remdesivir in adult patients diagnosed with COVID-19 in Mansoura University Isolation Hospital. In this study the investigators will analyze the data collected during treatment.

Myocardial infarction (MI), as one of the many complications of COVID-19, is one of the contributing patients of patients' death. This study attempts on developing an intervention of MI by regenerating damaged cardiomyocytes due to insufficiency of oxygen in cardiac muscles, triggered by an occlusion of coronary artery (MI). Heart patch developed from amnion bilayer seeded with amnion epithelial stem cells and patient's autologous cardiomyocytes is used as a therapy. Patients who undergo bypass (CABG) surgery are given heart patch, and then patients condition are observed by ECG, Echo, blood test, and radiology (technetium-99m)

After RECOVERY trial publication, low dose (6 mg dexamethasone for 10 days) was recommended as the usual care treatment in hospitalized patients with respiratory failure by COVID-19 needing oxygen therapy. RECOVERY trial showed how the use of dexamethasone 6 mg / day for ten days compared to standard treatment without the use of corticosteroids in hospitalized patients reduced mortality at 28 days (22.9% with dexamethasone vs 25.7% without dexamethasone). In the dexamethasone group, the incidence of mortality was lower than standard treatment in patients with hypoxia and the need for mechanical ventilation (29.3% with dexamethasone vs 41.4% without dexamethasone), in patients admitted to the hospital ward with a need for oxygen therapy (23.3% with dexamethasone vs 26.2% without dexamethasone), but they did not find differences between those admitted patients who did not need oxygen therapy. There are two other studies (DEXA-COVID-19 and CoDEX) where they observed benefits of the use of dexamethasone 20 mg / day 5 days, and 10 mg / day 5 days (total 10 days) in patients admitted for respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) and COVID-19. At present, it is unclear what dose of dexamethasone is most beneficial in patients with COVID-19 and respiratory failure.

Diabetes is a major factor of morbi-mortality in Covid-19 infection. Currently, steroid therapy is required in patients under oxygen therapy. This treatment is associated with hyper glycaemia in patients with diabetes. Recommendations for the management of diabetes during Covid-19 infection is to use insulin treatment. The majority of units involves in the management of patient with Covid19 infection are not the experience in managing intensive insulin therapy and the time to ensure this follow-up. All the data in the literature are in favor of a positive impact of telemedicine on the metabolic control of diabetic patients. However, the routine use of telemedicine and more particularly tele-expertise within hospital units is very underdeveloped in France. The epidemic of Covid-19 represents a unique situation where the health authorities recommend to physicians to use telemedicine to ensure the follow-up and optimal management of patients. The aim of this study was to compare the metabolic control of diabetic patients infected with Covid-19 followed in tele-expertise to a group of diabetic patients infected with Covid-19 managed in standard conditions.

Since the onset of the disease, more than 40.5 million people have been diagnosed with COVID-19 and nearly 1.2 million people have died (October 21, 2020). There is no complete understanding of the pathogenesis of SARS-CoV-2 infection and to this day there is no specific therapy or vaccine available. Thus, patient care is based on symptomatic therapy and treatment of complications. Ivermectin has been used for more than 30 years for the treatment of several diseases. More than one million doses of the drug are administered daily, particularly in low- and middle-income countries. Due to the low prevalence of adverse events with the use of this drug, ivermectin is considered to have a good safety profile and its potential benefit in other diseases is currently under investigation. An in vitro study of ivermectin in SARS-CoV-2 in Australia showed a significant reduction of viral load in infected cells. Subsequently, a descriptive study of 704 critical patients with COVID-19 showed a reduction in mortality, hospitalization, and intensive care unit length-of-stay in those patients who received the drug. Unfortunately, this study was withdrawn by its authors, leaving more questions than answers. Some countries in Latin America have authorized its use for the management of patients with COVID-19 even in the absence of solid evidence, and several other countries are conducting clinical trials to evaluate its efficacy for the treatment of moderate and severe disease. Since there is no specific treatment for COVID-19 and the therapeutic options are scarce, the researchers believe it is completely plausible, urgent, and necessary to evaluate if ivermectin use reduces the risk of admission to an intensive care unit (ICU) in hospitalized adults with severe COVID-19. The proposal is a randomized, double-blind clinical trial, conducted at CES Clinic, Medellin-Colombia. The investigators will randomize 100 patients with severe, non-critical illness, into two groups, one group will receive ivermectin in addition to standard management and the other group will receive placebo plus standard management. Clinical outcomes to evaluate will be ICU admission, need for mechanical ventilation, length of hospital stay, days in the ICU and mechanical ventilation, and finally, the incidence of adverse events related to the intervention. The estimated time to complete the study is approximately five months.
