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 purpose of this study is to evaluate safety, tolerability, and pharmacodynamics of MK-5475 after administration of multiple doses to participants with COVID-19 pneumonia. The primary hypothesis is that MK-5475 when administered to participants with COVID-19 pneumonia and hypoxemia improves arterial oxygenation as measured by the ratio of blood oxygen saturation to fraction of inspired oxygen (SpO2/FiO2 ratio) compared to placebo.
Kashif Khan
The purpose of this study is to assess the efficacy and safety of the administration of anti-SARS-CoV-2 convalescent plasma in COVID-19 patients who are sick enough to warrant hospitalization, but not yet admitted to the ICU (prior to the onset of overwhelming disease including a systemic inflammatory response, sepsis, and/or ARDS).
Obafemi Awolowo University
Finding effective strategies to treat or prevent the novel coronavirus disease that started in 2019 (COVID-19) is a global public health priority. Potential therapeutics and vaccines are now being investigated in over 1500 clinical trials. Clinical features of the disease include overproduction of reactive oxygen species which induces oxidative stress responses and contribute to acute lung injury. This presents a potential treatment strategy involving antioxidation therapy. In this pilot study, 90 COVID-19 patients aged 18-75 years will be recruited into two groups. The 45 patients in group 1 will receive the standard of care determined by their primary care providers while the 45 patients in group 2 will receive both the standard of care combined with daily antioxidant supplement for 14 days. All patients will be monitored for a total of 28 days with daily monitoring of symptoms and nasopharyngeal swab for SARS-CoV-2 test on days 3, 7, 14 and 28. The study will compare the following between the two groups: (1) the proportion of patients with clinical improvement (defined as live discharge from hospital, decrease of at least 2 points from baseline on a 7-point ordinal scale, or both), and (2) the proportion of patients with negative SARS-CoV-2 test by PCR on days 3, 7, and 14.
Baqiyatallah Medical Sciences University
180 people from the medical staff and high-risk people in Baqiyatallah Hospital, who are in close contact with patients, will enter the study. Participants will be divided into two intervention groups and one control group. The control group will use the full protective equipment assigned to the treatment staff. In addition to protective equipment, the first intervention team will receive a daily diet of 200 mg hydroxychloroquine tablets. The second intervention team, while observing and using the complete protective equipment, will place a thin layer of Mucodentol gel in the vestibular area of the mouth daily, every 6 to 8 hours. At the beginning of the treatment, qualified people will participate in the study while recording demographic and clinical information, PCR test will be performed, and if they have negative PCR, they will be in one of the 3 study groups. During the study, if the symptoms of the disease occur in each of the participants, the test will be taken again. If the test is positive, the person will withdraw from the study, and the patient's information will be recorded. Finally, the people present in the study will be tested for PCR, and the results of the disease and the side effects of the drugs will be compared.
Takeda
The purpose of this study is to assess safety, tolerability, preliminary efficacy, and PK of TAK-671 in participants with COVID-19.
Vironix Health Incorporated
This feasibility study is being conducted to understand how discharged emergency department patients who were tested for the SARS-CoV-2 virus (COVID-19) engage with a symptom-tracking web application. Study participants that are enrolled in the study will be asked to enter daily information about their health into the CovidX web application (app.). In addition, patients will answer questions regarding anxiety levels, use a pulse oximeter to record information (if you own one or are given one). The investigators predict that participants will be able to engage with the CovidX web application over several days to weeks for the purposes of symptom tracking, and may have decreased anxiety over the study period.
Big Corona Ltd.
This study seeks to determine whether dual or quadruple therapy is more effective in treating COVID-19.
Takeda Development Center Americas, Inc.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety, pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamics of lanadelumab administered by intravenous (IV) infusion when added to standard-of-care (SoC) in adults hospitalized with COVID-19 pneumonia.
Beyond Air Inc.
The purpose of this open label, 2-phase, study is to obtain information on the safety of 80 ppm and the safety and efficacy of 150 ppm Nitric Oxide given in addition to the standard of care of patients with COVID-19 caused by SARS-CoV-2.
Hospital Departamental de Villavicencio
This observational study aims to collect detailed clinical information on confirmed or suspected patients of COVID-19 treated in hospitals from Meta State, Colombia. The objectives are: 1. To establish the characteristics of patients and healthcare workers treated with COVID-19. 2. To assess previous predisposing morbidity. 3. To detail clinical factors associated with complications. 4. To profile clinical indicators for severity and outcomes.
