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.

This study is a randomized, open-label, parallel groups multi-centered trial were participants are assigned to either an intervention arm ( a combination of Favipiravir and Hydroxychloroquin) or standard of care.

In this research study the investigators want to learn more about the potential benefit of radiation to the lung to improve the health of patients who are hospitalized with Coronavirus-19 (COVID-19) due to infection with a virus called SARS-CoV-2. This infection causes inflammation of the lung, which can make it difficult to breathe. As a result, patients may need supplemental oxygen or be placed on a ventilator. The investigators believe that low dose radiation therapy to the lung may reduce this inflammation and increase the likelihood that patients will need less oxygen support such as ventilation or supplemental oxygen, or be discharged from the hospital in fewer days, compared to without radiation therapy. The amount of radiation is much lower than what is typically used to treat other conditions such as cancer, although it is higher than the dose used for routine medical imaging.

Radiotherapy in low doses (30 to 100 cGy) was a popular treatment of viral pneumonias until 1940s. Low dose radiation therapy (LDRT) could possibly reduce the inflammation and prevent the cytokine storm thus mitigating the severity of pneumonitis. This is a single arm study designed to assess the feasibility and clinical efficacy of low dose radiation therapy (70 cGy in single fraction) in the patients with COVID-19 pneumonia. A total of 10 eligible patients (as per inclusion criteria) will be recruited and response will be assessed based on the symptomatic improvement or deterioration by using the National Early Warning Score (NEWS). The NEWS score will be recorded on baseline and then on Day 3, Day 7 and Day 14.

Moderate to severe cases of SARS-associated ARDS based on inclusion/ exclusion criteria and the decision made in multi- disciplinary team are treated with 0.5 Gy whole lung radiation.
Bioithas SL
A prospective case-control pilot study to evaluate the possible effect of a probiotic mixture in the improvement of symptoms, the reduction in the number of days of hospitalization and the increase in the percentage of patients with negative PCR after infection with the coronavirus SARS-CoV-2.

This is a three-arm randomized trial comparing the efficacy of single agent hydroxychloroquine to the combination of hydroxychloroquine and azithromycin, and to a delayed hydroxychloroquine regimen, which will serve as a contemporaneous Day 1-6 supportive care control, in eliminating detectable SARS-CoV-2 on day 6 following the initiation of treatment in order to determine which regimen is more effective.
Providence Health & Services
This study will assess the efficacy of hydroxychloroquine in reducing the severity of symptoms in patients with COVID-19
DSCS CRO
This is a Phase II interventional study will test the efficacy of quintuple therapy (Hydroxychloroquine, Azithromycin, Vitamin C, Vitamin D, and Zinc) in the treatment of patients with COVID-19 infection).

The investigators propose to select all COVID 19 patients attended in any health center (with in hospital beds), who have been discharged or have died at the time of the evaluation. The main objective of the present study is to carefully characterize the clinical profile of patients infected with COVID-19 in order to develop a simple prognostic clinical score allowing, in selected cases, rapid logistic decision making (discharge with follow-up, referral to provisional/field hospitals or admission to more complex hospital centers). As secondary objectives, the analysis of the risk-adjusted influence of treatments and previous comorbidities of patients infected with the disease will be performed.
