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.

In this 16-week randomized control study, health care workers will receive a bolus dose followed by a weekly dose of vitamin D or a placebo bolus and weekly dose. This study will test whether high-dose of vitamin D supplementation decreases the incidence of laboratory-confirmed COVID19 infection (primary outcome), reduces illness severity, duration, as well as work absenteeism among health care workers (HCW) in setting at high-risk of contact with COVID-19 cases in high COVID-19 incidence areas.
Regenexx, LLC
To evaluate and compare nebulized platelet lysate to placebo control of saline administered via handheld nebulizer 1x daily for eight weeks to determine effect on lung function in patients with post-COVID-19 ARDS syndrome.
Rhode Island Hospital
It is our hypothesis that a course of Ta1 administered to hospitalized individuals with COVID-19 infection and lymphocytopenia will improve the time to recovery (primary objective) and severity of infection (secondary objectives) compared to untreated individuals in the same hospital with comparable lymphocytopenia. After screening, hospitalized patients with COVID-19 and lymphocytopenia who meet the inclusion criteria will receive Ta1 (1.6 mg) administered subcutaneously (SC) daily for 1 week. Individuals in the control arm will be followed on the identical protocol but will not receive daily Ta1.
Merck Sharp & Dohme LLC
This study aims to evaluate the safety, tolerability and efficacy of molnupiravir (MK-4482) compared to placebo. The primary hypothesis is that molnupiravir is superior to placebo as assessed by the rate of sustained recovery through Day 29.
Pfizer
The purpose of this study is to assess the efficacy of PF-06650833 in addition to standard-of-care compared to standard-of-care treatment alone in improving outcomes in patients with COVID-19.
Merck Sharp & Dohme LLC
The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the safety and tolerability of V590 versus placebo and to assess the immunogenicity of V590 on Day 28. The primary hypothesis is that at least one well-tolerated dose of V590 increases the geometric mean titers (GMTs) of anti-severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) spike serum neutralizing antibody, as measured by plaque reduction neutralization test (PRNT), compared to placebo.
Children's Hospital Medical Center, Cincinnati
As the global and pandemic spread of the novel coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2, COVID-19) continues, many knowledge gaps remain with regard to the epidemiology and transmission of infection, as well as the normal immunological responses after viral exposure. Cincinnati had its first confirmed case of COVID-19 on March 14, 2020, and despite extensive shelter-in-place and social distancing efforts, community spread continues at over 150-200 new cases per week. As new residents and fellows arrive in July 2020 to Cincinnati Children's Hospital Medical Center (CCHMC), many of whom come from metropolitan areas across the country, it is imperative that investigators determine the current prevalence of infection, measure the cumulative incidence of infection over the next 12-24 months, investigate the normal antibody patterns after infection, and help elucidate what constitutes a protective immunological response. The investigators have a unique but time-limited opportunity to optimally track the epidemiology and natural history of SARS-CoV-2 infection among trainees at CCHMC, including risk factors for transmission and immunological recovery. SCREEN will investigate epidemiological and immunological features of SARS-CoV-2 virus infection within the cohort of CCHMC residents and fellows who have patient contact. By collecting and analyzing weekly serial samples for SARS-CoV-2 (nasal swab for virus by PCR) and monthly serological exposure (serum antibodies by ELISA), the investigators will determine the prevalence and cumulative incidence of infection by SARS-CoV-2; the investigators will also document the antibody responses over time and identify cases of apparent viral recrudescence or re-infection.
University of the Philippines
This protocol provides access to investigational convalescent plasma for hospitalized patients with COVID-19. Following provision of informed consent, patients will be administered around 500 mL of convalescent plasma obtained from an individual who has recovered from a documented SARS-CoV-2 infection. The study aims to evaluate the efficacy and safety of anti-SARS-CoV-2 convalescent plasma as adjunctive therapy in preventing disease progression (prevention of ICU admission) among hospitalized patients with COVID-19. Safety outcomes include serious adverse events judged to be related to convalescent plasma. Other information which will be collected includes patient demographics and clinical data which includes quick SOFA scores, ventilator-free days, ICU-free days, dialysis-free days and 28-day mortality.
Pliant Therapeutics, Inc.
Evaluation of the safety, tolerability, and pharmacokinetics of PLN-74809 in participants with acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) associated with at least severe COVID-19
Genentech, Inc.
- There is a knowledge gap associated with the management of patients with COVID-19 lung injury and a laboratory picture compatible with disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC). Clinical data to date support that COVID-19 is associated with a prothrombotic state that is not simply explained by an influx of more critically ill individuals. - These patients suffer from severe respiratory failure; hypoxemia and ventilator dependence are the primary concerns; ARDS with respiratory failure is frequently the cause of death. Macroscopic and probable microvascular thromboembolic events are a major concern in this population. - When DIC is associated with COVID-19, it predicts a very poor prognosis. - This study will evaluate the clinical efficacy and safety of low-dose IV bolus tenecteplase (TNK) together with anticoagulation compared with control patients on therapeutic anticoagulation alone in hospitalized adults diagnosed with COVID-19 and acute intermediate-risk PE. - Prospective, multicenter, randomized two-arm trial enrolling consecutive patients who meet enrollment criteria. - The study will generate evidence that low-dose TNK together with anticoagulation is beneficial in these patients
