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.

There is currently no effective treatment for COVID-19 except best supportive care. The aim is assess the safety, tolerability and efficacy of convalescent plasma for treatment of patients with varying degrees of COVID-19 illness.
Banc de Sang i Teixits
Randomized, double-blind, parallel, two-arms clinical trial to assess the efficacy and safety of 2 infusions of Wharton-Jelly mesenchymal stromal cells (day 1 and day 3, endovenously at 1E6cells/Kg per dose) in patients with moderate acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) secondary to SARS-CoV-2 infection. Follow-up will be established on days 3, 5, 7, 14, 21, and 28. Long term follow-up will be performed at 3, 6 and 12 months.

Multifocal interstitial pneumonia represents the most common cause of admission in intensive care units and death in SARS-CoV2 infections. In our Hospital, similarly to what reported in literature, up to 25% of admitted patients with pneumonitis requires mechanical ventilation or oro-tracheal intubation within 5-10 days. No established treatment is available for this condition. Preliminary evidence is accumulating about the efficacy of an aggressive treatment of the corona virus-induced inflammation and, in particular, investigators believe that blocking JAK1 is clinically rewarding in down-regulating IL-6 driven inflammation in patients with corona-virus infection. Thus, investigators designed a randomized controlled trial to test the hypothesis that adding Tofacitinib to the standard treatment in the early phase of COVID related pneumonitis could prevent the development of severe respiratory failure needing mechanical ventilation.

COVID-19 is an emerging pandemic disease affecting most countries including Senegal, caused by the new coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2) which was first detected in the city of Wuhan in China in December 2019. A rapid spread of the disease has occurred at a global scale, associated with a mortality rate of 3.4%. The first case in Africa was declared on February 15, 2020 in Egypt and the first case in Senegal was declared on March 2nd, 2020. In this context, the SEN-CoV-Fadj clinical trial aims to evaluate efficacy and safety, among adults, of different therapeutic regimens considered optimal according to current knowledge, as well as available and adapted to Sub-Saharan Africa. This trial is nested into a cohort of confirmed cases of COVID-19 in Senegal aiming to understand the main clinical, biological, virologic and immunological characteristics of the infection. The protocol of the cohort is based and adapted from the International Severe Acute Respiratory and Emerging Infection Consortium (ISARIC) / World Health Organization (WHO) Clinical Characterisation Protocol (CCP). The Nafamostat mesilate, whose antiviral, anticoagulant an anti-inflammatory activities have been shown, has been eligible for SEN-CoV-Fadj for the treatment of moderate to severe COVID-19 cases.
University Hospital, Basel, Switzerland
This project investigates individual treatments using convalescent severe acute respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) plasma in SARS-CoV-2 infected patients at risk for disease progression. In addition to standard of care, SARS-CoV-2 infected patients for whom blood group compatible convalescent plasma is available and who are willing to sign the informed consent receive convalescent plasma. Only patients with moderate to severe disease at risk for transfer to intensive care unit or patients at the intensive care unit with limited treatment options will be treated.

The Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) had its outbreak in late 2019 in China and is considered a biological disaster. With medical organizations and staff on the frontline, the investigators should conduct assessments, for the different tiers of medical staff, patients, and community residents, on the short- term psychological and mental disabilities or danger factors that they might have faced. As such, the investigators can design and establish a set of evaluative indicators of the risks of biological disasters, and strategies to manage guide and cope, and internal/ external testing strategies. These work in guaranteeing quality and performance, and as such, establishing "Digital Platform for Integrated Research of Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19)".

The PROTECT open-label randomised basket trial will assess the effectiveness of hydroxychloroquine (HCQ) as chemoprophylaxis against COVID-19 in multiple vulnerable populations in the United Kingdom.
Shahid Beheshti University of Medical Sciences
Moderate to severe cases of SARS-associated ARDS based on inclusion/ exclusion criteria and the decision made in multi- disciplinary team are treated with 0.5 Gy whole lung radiation.
Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory
A retrospective case series of patients who self-medicated with Famotidine during coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). The study will collect de-identified patient reported outcome measures of patients with confirmed COVID-19 who self-medicated with Famotidine at any dose during the period of illness. Data will be collected by questionnaire and telephone interview. Inclusion criteria: Age>18; Ability to give written informed consent for study participation; Confirmed diagnosis of COVID-19; Use of Famotidine at any dose during period of COVID-19 illness

Primary care physicians face limited availability of therapeutic options for the treatment of COVID-19 in the outpatient setting. Furthermore, monoclonal antibodies and antiviral therapies that are currently approved for use in the outpatient setting by Health Canada have excluded pregnant women and older adults from their clinical trials, are contraindicated for many patients, and most are prohibited for use by pregnant women. Identification of a safe, COVID-19 outpatient therapeutic with 20-year safety record remains urgently needed.
