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.

Acute respiratory failure (ARF) is a common condition and a common reason for urgent medical consultation. Assessing the extent of respiratory impairment is important to improve the management of patients with ARF. When Acute respiratory failure is caused by pathology of the pulmonary parenchyma, quantification of pulmonary radiographic involvement may be a component of the initial assessment of severity. This radiographic quantification would only be usable in clinical routine if it can be automated and provide a real-time result. The objective of this work is to assess the feasibility of an automated technique for quantifying radiological lung damage in situations of known or potential ARF.

Novel Coronavirus is reported to cause COVID-19, recently. It's known that this virus uses ACE (angiotensin converting enzyme) 2 receptors to enter human cells and also blocks the activity of ACE 2. Upon these data the investigators hypothesize that, mortal hyper-inflammation state which is shown in COVID-19 cases, can be a result of angiotensin peptide (1-7) deficiency. Therefore, the aim of this study is to evaluate the possible effect of angiotensin peptide (1-7) supplementation on treatment of COVID-19 cases.

The research team is investigating administering exogenous surfactant in COVID-19 patients with ARDS. The overall goal is to improve the outcome (mortality) of mechanically ventilated COVID-19 patients. Although the investigators anticipate that clinical outcomes may improve in the small group of patients receiving exogenous surfactant therapy in this small, single center study, the primary goal is to first determine feasibility and safety.

This protocol will evaluate the efficacy of Therapeutic Plasma Exchange (TPE) alone or in combination with ruxolitinib in COVID positive patients with PENN grade 2, 3, 4 cytokine release syndrome (CRS). It is hypothesized that dual intervention of acute apheretic depletion of cytokines and concomitant suppression of production will produce superior amelioration of the cytokine load and to help to prevent cytokine load rebound. This protocol is envisioned as a pilot study (n=20) for hypothesis generation for future investigation.

This clinical study was designed to assess the efficacy and safety of DFV890 for the treatment of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-Cov-2) infected patients with coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pneumonia and impaired respiratory function.

In the context of COVID-19 pandemic, a report on ivermectin suppression of SARS-CoV-2 viral replication in cell cultures has been published, and the use of this medication seems to be potentially useful for the therapy. IVM safety profile and IVM wide spectrum enables to move forward with the investigation in patients infected by SARS-CoV-2 as a proof-of-concept of its possible use in the management of patients with COVID-19, given the current pandemic situation.

Agent Name and Study Duration ArtemiC is a medical spray comprised of Artemisinin (6 mg/ml), Curcumin (20 mg/ml), Frankincense (=Boswellia) (15 mg/ml) and vitamin C (60 mg/ml) in micellar formulation for spray administration. Patients will receive up to 6 mg Artemisinin, 20 mg Curcumin, 15 mg Frankincense and 60 mg vitamin C given daily as an add-on therapy (in addition to standard care) in two divided doses, on Days 1 and 2. Patients will be randomized in a manner of 2:1 for study drug (ArteminC) and Standard of Care to Placebo and Standard of Care. Patient follow-up will last 2 weeks. During this time, patients will be monitored for adverse events. Additional time will be required for follow up (until hospital discharge) in order to check side effects and study drug efficacy. Placebo, composed of the same solvent but without active ingredients, will be given in the placebo group as add-on therapy, 2 times a day, on Days 1 and 2. Overall rationale A preparation of ArtemiC, comprising Artemisinin, Curcumin, Boswellia, and Vitamin C, is proposed as a treatment for the disease associated with the novel corona virus SARS-CoV-2. It is readily available in light of its status as a food supplement. This initiative is presented under the urgent circumstances of the fulminant pandemic caused by this lethal disease, which is known as COVID-19 and has spread across the globe causing death and disrupting the normal function of modern society. The grounds for the proposal are rooted in existing knowledge on the components and pharmacological features of this formulation and their relevance to the current understanding of the disease process being addressed. Leading among these considerations are well established immuno-modulatory activities of the active ingredients as established in vitro and in vivo and published over the years. These activities as apparent, for example, in diminishing activity of TNF alpha and IL-6 levels are acknowledged to be relevant to the pathophysiology processes involved in the progressive form of COVID-19. The active agents have in addition prominent anti-oxidant, anti-inflammatory as well as anti-aggregant and anti-microbial activities. Based on these activities and observations in animal models, together with clinical experience of the separate ingredients and in various combinations in other contexts it is proposed to evaluate their effect in the context of COVID-19. Study Purpose This study is designed to evaluate the safety and efficacy of ArtemiC on patients diagnosed with COVID-19. Methodology 50 adult patients who suffer from COVID-19 infection studied in parallel groups treated with active agent or placebo as add on to standard care. Safety will be assessed through collection and analysis of adverse events, blood and urine laboratory assessments and vital signs.
University of Milano Bicocca
Prospective, observational, multicenter study aiming to evaluate the number of COVID-19 pneumonia related patients treated with non-invasive ventilatory support outside the intensive care unit. In addition, the study aims to obtain information related to the clinical characteristics and hospital results of these patients.

The purpose of this adaptive trial is to determine the clinical efficacy of Ifenprodil in the treatment of patients infected with COVID-19. This Protocol is largely based on the recommendations of the World Health Organization (WHO) R&D Blueprint Clinical Trials Expert Group COVID-19 Therapeutic Trial Synopsis, and associated Master Protocol. The choice of the primary outcome measure will be determined by a pilot study of the first 150 subjects. Subject clinical status (on a 7-point ordinal scale) at day 15 in treatment versus the control group is the default primary endpoint.
