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.

SARS-CoV-2 is a member of a class of viruses: angiotensin converting enzyme 2 (ACE2)-binding viruses that study calls "ABVs". The World Health Organization (WHO) and others are performing randomized controlled trials (RCTs) of vaccines and novel antivirals to address SARS-CoV-2 directly. However, the critical illness complications of COVID-19 are caused in part by SARS-CoV-2's binding and inhibiting ACE2 and the consequent host response. ACE 2 is the receptor for H1N1, H5N1, and SARS-CoV-2. After binding ACE2, SARS-CoV-2 is endocytosed, and surface ACE2 is down-regulated, increasing angiotensin II (ATII a potent vasoconstrictor) in COVID-19. The original ARBs limits lung injury in murine influenza H7N9 and decreases viral titre and RNA. Study has a unique opportunity to complement vaccine and anti-viral RCTs with an RCT modulating the host response using an angiotensin II type 1 receptor blocker (ARBs) to decrease the mortality of hospitalized COVID-19 patient.
SynaVir
New outpatient treatments for COVID-19 are urgently needed. There is some evidence that a combination of three medications currently used to treat other viral infections could be effective in fighting this new virus. The purpose of this trial is to evaluate the efficacy of Nitazoxanide (NTZ), Ribavirin (RBV) and Hydroxychloroquine (HCQ) versus placebo in participants with proven SARS-CoV-2 infection The study will enroll 70 participants within the 7 days after having been diagnosed with coronavirus infection. The purpose is to determine if those randomized to 5-day dosing with the three medication combination have decreased viral load and severity of illness in the 10 days following treatment as compared to those taking placebo. Participants will be actively followed for 28 days.
Biostrap
This is an observational COVID-19 study that uses wearable health monitoring technology to follow COVID-19 positive individuals to monitor persistent symptoms and any potential long-term complications or cardiovascular and behavioral impacts from the disease.
Mayo Clinic
The purpose of this study is to assess the ability of an artificial intelligence smartphone-enabled point of care ECG to detect COVID-19.

For patients admitted with COVID-19 infection, it is often difficult to predict if or when their clinical condition will deteriorate. However subtle changes in vital signs are usually present 8 to 24 hours before a life-threatening event such as respiratory failure leading to ICU admission, or unanticipated cardiac arrest. Such adverse trends in clinical observations can be missed, misinterpreted or not appreciated as urgent. New continuous and wearable 24/7 clinical vital parameter monitoring systems offer a unique possibility to identify clinical deterioration before patients condition progress beyond the point-of-no-return, where adverse events are inevitable. The primary aim of this study is to test the effect of continuous wireless vital signs monitoring with generation of real-time alerts through a purpose-built GUI, compared to standard EWS monitoring on the cumulative duration of any severely deviating vital signs
Daewoong Pharmaceutical Co. LTD.
To evaluate the prevention of SARS-COV-2 infection after administration of DWJ1248 in person who contact from COVID-19 confirmed patient compared to the placebo.
Augusta University
The purpose of this study is to test the effectiveness of prophylactic mouth rinses in reducing the amount of viruses, specifically SARS-CoV-2 in the oral cavity. This research will guide dental and medical providers on best practices to be performed prior to dental and medical procedures involving the oral cavity.
Fondazione IRCCS Policlinico San Matteo di Pavia
The study assesses the efficacy of early administration of hyperimmune plasma in covid-19 patients who are on CPAP or intubated. Efficacy is measured as a 2 point decrease in the WHO scale
Mercy Research
Pregnant women are a vulnerable and high-risk population, as COVID-19 is associated with an increased risk preterm birth, cesarean section, and maternal critical care. This study will examine the factors that impede testing for SARS-CoV-2 (the causative virus among pregnant women), help determine optimal testing strategies by evaluating the necessity of testing for asymptomatic disease in pregnancy, inform prenatal care plans by assessing the full impact of infection, and contribute to a provider's ability to counsel women and create prenatal care plans if they are pregnant or considering pregnancy.
Genexine, Inc.
The objective of our study is to evaluate safety, tolerability, and immunogenicity of COVID-19 preventive DNA vaccine in healthy volunteers.
