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.

Direct Income SupporT and Advice Negating Spread of Epidemic COVID-19: a Randomized Controlled Trial
This is a clinical trial of a cash transfer on symptoms consistent with COVID-19 and adherence to physical distancing guidance.
ZonMw: The Netherlands Organisation for Health Research and Development
Rationale: Currently there are no approved treatments for COVID-19. In the Dutch treatment protocol guideline (SWAB) designated treatment is supportive care with the option to add chloroquine base (CQ) or hydroxychloroquine (HCQ). CQ and HCQ are implemented because of their in vitro activity, results from small animal studies, and anecdotal patient's data. There are no published randomized studies with these medications in patients with disease caused by any coronavirus. Objective: To evaluate if treatment with only supportive care or addition of one of two anti-COVID_19 agents (chloroquine or hydroxychloroquine) results in less disease progression in patients with moderate to severe COVID-19 who require hospital admission. Study design: Multicentre, cluster randomized cross-over, open label trial. Hospitals will be randomly allocated to one of 3 treatment arms in sequential periods of one week: chloroquine base versus hydroxychloroquine versus supportive care without any drug presumed active against SARS-COV-2. Patients will be treated based on the date of inclusion. Study population: Adults aged of 18 years and older with moderate to severe, with a NEWS-2 score ≤ 5, laboratory confirmed COVID-19, who require hospital admission in a ward outside the Medium Care or Intensive Care. Intervention (if applicable): Depending on the treatment arm, the study subject will receive only supportive care or an addition with one of the two agents active against SARS-CoV-2 (chloroquine or hydroxychloroquine). Main study parameters/endpoints: Disease progression defined as a NEWS-2 score ≥ 7 within 14 days, or admission to Medium Care or Intensive Care Unit, or death.

This study will enroll 40 symptomatic outpatients tested positive for Coronavirus 2019 (COVID-19). Patients to be randomized 1:1 to Telmisartan (40 mg) vs placebo to be administered orally once daily x 21 days. Daily, the study patients will be asked to keep a record of the severity of their fever, dyspnea and fatigue and take their blood pressure (BP) and temperature. Study visits to occur on day 1 (entry), day 4, day 10 and day 21. Oro-pharyngeal swabs, and approximately 25 cc of blood will be collected at each study visit for safety labs and for the evaluation of the renin-angiotensin system (RAS) system and for various blood biomarkers of inflammation, coagulation and fibrosis.

The COVID-19 outbreak has led to a significant increase in the number of patients admitted to intensive care for respiratory distress. Early data indicate a particularly high risk of thrombotic risk to viral lung disease, particularly in the most severe patients, with a particularly high incidence of pulmonary embolism. Catheter thrombosis and extra-renal purification filters are also abnormally common. These thrombotic complications could contribute to the mortality observed in this pathology. The introduction of early curative anticoagulation in the most severe patients has just been proposed by the perioperative hemostasis interest group Biologically, a significant proportion of patients hospitalized in intensive care have a marked biological inflammatory syndrome, associated with signs of activation of clotting (a frank increase in D-dimers). The presence of circulating anticoagulants is common. Interestingly, thrombocytosis, normally observed in such inflammatory syndromes, is absent. In this context, it seems legitimate to explore these patients from a hemostasis perspective to identify the factors that cause this thrombotic over-risk, in order to minimize the occurrence of these complications.

Assessment of Efficacy and Safety of Tocilizumab Compared to DefeROxamine, associated with standards treatments in COVID-19 (+) patients, Hospitalized In Intensive care in Tunisia. Multicentric, comparative, randomized study.

Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome (ARDS) induces high mortality, particularly in the context of COVID-19 disease. Preliminary data from patients with ARDS related to COVID-19 disease appear to show significant effectiveness of prone positioning in intubated patients in terms of oxygenation as well as nasal high flow therapy before intubation. It should be noted that in Jiangsu province, secondarily affected, nasal high flow combined with the prone position was successfully integrated into care protocols. The investigators hypothesize that the combined application of nasal high flow and prone positioning can significantly improve the outcome of patients suffering from COVID-19 pneumonia by reducing the need for tracheal intubation and associated therapeutics such as sedation and paralysis, resulting in both individual and collective benefits in terms of use of scarce critical care resources.

This trial will determine the safety and estimate efficacy of targeted corticosteroids in mechanically ventilated patients with the hyper-inflammatory sub phenotype of ARDS due to coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) by implementing a Phase 2A clinical trial.
Assaf-Harofeh Medical Center
The 2019-20 coronavirus disease, caused by COVID-19, is an ongoing pandemic.So far, no specific treatment has proven efficacy. Recent case series reported the use of Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) on 5 severe COVID-19 patients who developed respiratory insufficiency. HBOT mechanisms of tissue oxygenation and anti-inflammatory effect may explain these findings. The purpose of the current study is the evaluate the efficacy of HBOT in moderate-severe COVID-19 patients in a randomized controlled manner.
