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.

COVID-19 patients who develop severe disease often develop acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) as a result of a dysregulated immune response. This in turn stimulates a pro-inflammatory cascade ("cytokine storm") as well as emergency myelopoiesis. This proinflammatory cascade is activated when viral-mediated cell damage occurs in the lungs, resulting in the release of damage-signaling alarmin molecules such as S100A8/A9 (Calprotectin), HMGB1, Resistin, and oxidized phospholipids. These damage-associated molecular patterns (DAMPs) are recognized by the pattern recognition receptor Toll-Like Receptor 4 (TLR4) found on macrophages, dendritic cells and other innate immune cells and result in additional release of pro-inflammatory molecules. Several recent studies have shown that S100A8/A9 serum levels in hospitalized COVID-19 patients positively correlate with both neutrophil count and disease severity. Taken together the DAMP-TLR4 interaction forms a central axis in the innate immune system and is a key driver of the pathological inflammation observed in COVID-19. We hypothesis that targeting the initial step in the signalling pathways of these DAMPs in innate immunity offers the best hope for controlling the exaggerated host response to SARS-CoV-2 infection. EB05 has demonstrated safety in two clinical studies (>120 patients) and was able to block LPS-induced (TLR4 agonist) IL-6 release in humans. Given, this extensive body of evidence we believe EB05 could ameliorate ARDS due to COVID-19, significantly reducing ventilation rates and mortality.
Turkish Neonatal Society
The investigators aimed to investigate the clinical and epidemiological characteristics of neonates who will be born to Covid-19 positive mothers in Turkey. It is a multicentric prospective cohort study designed and destined only in Turkey. The investigators are planning to admit more than 20 Neonatal Intensive Care Units into the survey; nevertheless, the total number may change according to the prevalence of Covid-19 in neonates. The investigators will also inquire into vertical transmission by collecting cord blood, placental, and postnatal serum samples to test for Covid-19 PCR and Covid-19 Ig M and IgG values from the neonates.
Beijing Friendship Hospital
This is a multi-centered, retrospective, observational study aimed at observing the current status of the management of gastrointestinal surgery during the COVID-19 pandemic, particularly the changes on surgery protocols and other key aspects of surgical workflow, so as to share experience with colleagues both domestic and abroad.

The present study aims to evaluate the impact of COVID-19 disease and its treatment on ventricular repolarization, assessed by measuring the QTc interval, in patients admitted to the critical care unit.
Lomonosov Moscow State University Medical Research and Educational Center
Patients with mild and severe COVID 19 will be randomized 1:1 into two groups: experimental, which will get bromhexine and spironolactone, and control. Patients will get investigated therapy for ten days. Change in clinical assessment score COVID 19 (CAS COVID 19) between baseline and 12th day will be evaluated as a primary endpoint. Forty-five-day risk of death or mechanical ventilation will also be assessed.
Centre Hospitalier Saint Joseph Saint Luc de Lyon
A seroconversion test for SARS-Cov-2 will be offered to all the employees of a care institution, which has treated 240 patients hospitalized for COVID disease between 28/02 and 30/04/2020. The seroconversion test will be with a questionnaire to determine: - whether the subject has shown signs of infection in the last 3 recent months - if the subject has been in contact with COVID-diagnosed subjects (RT-PCR diagnosis or scanner) outside of the activity or within the professional activity (patient or colleague) - Working conditions during the period - The level of knowledge and respect of the barrier measures practices. - Respect for distance during meals professional. Overall seroprevalence and stratified seroprevalence by care and administrative areas will be determined.

QuadraMune(TM) is a nutritional supplement which has previously been demonstrated to possess antiinflammatory and immune modulatory activity based on in vitro and pilot in vivo studies. The current clinical trial aims to assess in a 500 volunteer trial the efficacy of QuadraMune(TM) in reducing infection in individuals at high risk of COVID-19.

The SARS-CoV-2 infection in the airway epithelium induces cytopathic effects and the cessation of ciliary movement. Increased cytokines and chemokines have been reported to be associated with the severity of the disease. However, most of the molecular and cellular aspects of the inflammatory response and the processes of development of humoral and cellular immunity in these patients are unknown. The aim of this study is characterizing inflammatory processes, seeking to expand the knowledge of the cellular and molecular pathophysiology of COVID-19 that could help in the decision-making of treating health personnel. Mainly, the study is focused on analyzing the inflammatory response by determining cytokines and chemokines. Also, the viral load of the patients with COVID-19 will be determined and will be correlated with the antibody titers. On the other hand, cells will be immunophenotyped to search the cellular depletion profile. Finally, an epidemiological analysis of the patients will be carried out.

A randomized controlled pilot study on the safety & efficacy of imatinib for the treatment of patient with moderate to severe SARS-COV-2 induced pneumonia.
University of Calgary
This is a cohort study of COVID-19 patients with hyperinflammation. It aims to determine the impact of adjunctive Tocilizumab (TCZ) to standard of care on the reduction of hyperinflammation-related mortality in COVID-19. Patients with COVID-19 are at high risk of life-threatening hyperinflammation and death. One in three COVID-19 patients admitted to ICU was found to develop life-threatening hyperinflammation. The risk of death when untreated is estimated to be 50-80%.
