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 aim of the cohort prospective observational study is to define the major factors influencing the course of COVID-19 infections and its prognosis in hospitalised patients. The investigators plan to include 300 patients hospitalised with COVID-19 infection. The phone contacts with patients are due after 90 and 180 days after discharge.

Based on the literature, it seems likely that a nutritional intervention with nicotinamide (a form of vitamin B3) can support the therapy of SARS-CoV-2 infection (COVID-19). A pilot phase of the COVit trial showed an effect of nicotinamide on the time to complete resolution of COVID-19 symptoms. In addition, diarrhoea is a common symptom of COVID-19. Therefore, in a second part of the study, 420 symptomatic patients each with confirmed SARS-CoV-2 infection are to take 1,000 mg nicotinamide (500 mg conventional nicotinamide and 500 mg nicotinamide released in a controlled manner in the intestine) or corresponding placebos per day in a blinded fashion for 4 weeks. The primary endpoint of the trial is the occurrence of individual COVID-19 symptoms over time (primary analysis time point: week 2). Secondary endpoints focus on the severity of COVID-19 symptoms, the post-COVID-19 syndrome (PCS), anti-SARS-CoV-2 antibody levels, and the time to resolution of individual or all symptoms. Exploratory endpoints include the WHO clinical scale for COVID-19, development of severe COVID-19, fatigue, quality of life and biomarkers. Patients are approached after positive testing and give their informed consent online. After randomised distribution of the trial supplements, patients are interviewed by telephone about their disease course at baseline (week 0), week 2, week 4, week 6 and after 6 months. Stool samples are collected from up to 400 patients at the same timepoints. In addition to blood count and standard blood profile, various inflammatory markers and the metabolome, in particular tryptophan metabolism, are examined in the blood of up to 20 selected patients. In these patients, the viral strain is determined by sequencing from nasopharyngeal swabs. In selected patients, short-term pharmacokinetics of nicotinamide, nicotinic acid and nicotinuric acid as well as of metabolites of nicotinamide and tryptophan are investigated. In the stool, changes in the microbiome (in 100-300 patients) as well as metagenome and metabolome (in a subgroup) will be analysed. The study is expected to produce rapid results on whether nicotinamide supplementation can alleviate the disease course of COVID-19. Moreover, a follow-up interview, a smell test, a cognitive test and anti-SARS-CoV-2 antibody levels after at least 6 months will be used to investigate whether the supplementation has any influence on PCS as well as the immune reaction against SARS-CoV-2.
Germans Trias i Pujol Hospital
A double-blind, placebo-controlled, randomized clinical trial to assess efficacy of micronutrient dietary supplementation in reducing hospital admissions for COVID-19. We want to assess the need for hospital admission for severe acute respiratory syndrome Corona Virus-2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection in outpatients diagnosed of COVID-19 disease, taking a micronutrient supplementation for 14 days. The outcome Will be measured within 1 month after beginning the study treatment. The patients will be followed-up for a period of 180 days.
Rapid Pathogen Screening
Prospective study that will evaluate the clinical agreement of the CoviDx™ Rapid Antigen test compared to SARS-CoV-2 RT-PCR.

The C-MORE study is prospective observational holistic longitudinal study which will characterise the prevalence of multi-organ injury among COVID-19 survivors post hospital discharge and assess its effects on quality of life, exercise tolerance and mental health.

Covid-19 also primarily affects endothelium that line up the alveoli. The resulting hypoxemia may differ from "typical" Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome (ARDS) due to maldistribution of perfusion related to the ventilation. Thus, pathophysiology of Covid-19 ARDS is different, which requires different interventions than typical ARDS. The investigators will assess whether extravascular lung water index and permeability of the alveolar capillary differs from typical ARDS with transpulmonary thermodilution (TPTD) technique. Extravascular Lung Water Index (EVLWI) and Pulmonary Vascular Permeability Index (PVPI) will be compared.
