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.

Clinical trial in health care personnel (physicians, nurses or nurse assistants) to determine the effect of orally-administered bovine lactoferrin to prevent SARS-CoV-2 infection. Participants will be randomized to receive daily bovine lactoferrin plus standard measures during 12 weeks or placebo (maltodextrine) for the prevention of SARS-CoV-2. The target enrollment is 336 participants. Each study participant will be monitored twice a week for symptoms of COVID-19 and if symptoms occur, a RT-PCR will be performed. Additionally, we will evaluate asymptomatic infections, by measuring SARS-CoV-2 serology every 4 weeks.

The study aims to assess the potential benefit and evaluate the safety and tolerability of a single subcutaneous (SC) dose of VIB7734 in hospitalized patients with documented infection of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS CoV-2) with pulmonary involvement. Subjects will be administered a single dose of VIB7734 injected under the skin, assessed for efficacy for 28 days and followed for an additional 42 days.

COVID-19 due to SARS-CoV-2 infection is a rapidly escalating global pandemic for which there is no proven effective treatment. COVID-19 is multi-dimensional disease caused by viral cytopathic effects and host-mediated immunopathology. Therapeutic approaches should logically be based on interventions that have direct anti-viral effects and favourably modulate the host immune response. Thus, an optimal drug regimen in ambulatory patients should collectively (i) target and reduce viral replication, (ii) upregulate host innate immune anti-viral responses, (iii) have favourable immunomodulatory properties, and (iv) minimise disease progression to hospitalisation thus circumventing the 'cytokine storm' that likely underpins ARDS and multi-organ failure. Nitazoxanide (NTZ) is an antiprotozoal drug that is FDA-approved for treating Cryptosporidium and Giardia and has an excellent safety record for a variety of indications, but primarily as an anti-parasitic agent. It has proven broad anti-viral activity as it amplifies cytoplasmic RNA sensing, potently augments type I interferon and autophagy-mediated anti-viral responses, has immunomodulatory properties e.g inhibits macrophage IL-6 production, and interferes with SARS-CoV-2 glycosylation. It has been shown to have anti-viral activity against several viruses including Ebola, influenza, hepatitis B and C, rotavirus and norovirus. With regard to respiratory viral infections, NTZ was evaluated in uncomplicated influenza and demonstrated a reduction in the median time to symptom recovery. By contrast, NTZ failed to show benefit in hospitalised patients with severe influenza suggesting that, as with oseltamivir (Tamiflu), it likely needs to be administered early in the course of the disease. NTZ has proven in vitro activity against SARS-CoV-2. NTZ inhibited the SARS-CoV-2 at a low-micromolar concentrations and in vivo evaluation in patients with COVID-19 has been strongly recommended. NTZ has an excellent drug-drug interaction profile. No clinically significant interactions are expected with commonly used antihypertensive agents, anti-diabetics drugs, antiretroviral agents, steroids or commonly prescribed analgesics/anti-inflammatory agents. The investigators propose NTZ for the treatment of mild COVID-19 in non-hospitalised patients with HIV co-infection and/or enhanced risk for progression to severe disease (age >35 years and/or with comorbidity). The investigators will perform a randomised controlled trial enrolling 440 patients with mild disease. The primary outcome measure will be the proportion progressing to severe disease (hospitalisation) based on the WHO clinical progression scale (stage 4 and beyond). Secondary outcome measures will include disease rates in contacts and effect on viral load, productive infectiousness using viral cultures, and ability to abrogate the generation of infectious aerosols using novel cough aerosol sampling technology. Recruitment is stratified and thus the study is powered to detect progression to severe disease in HIV-infected persons.

There is emerging evidence that patients with SARS-CoV-2 are affected by increased coagulopathy, including in the most advanced forms, a fully blown disseminated intravascular coagulation, leading to multi organ failure (MOF). Post-Morten observations from patients who died because of SARS-CoV-2 infection in Bergamo, Italy and other places have revealed the presence of diffuse venous, arterial and microcirculatorythrombosis, not only restricted to the lung but also involving the kidneys, heart and gut. Thrombin plays a central role in mediating clot forming as well as in mediating inflammation. A direct factor X inhibitor, namely edoxaban can act as prophylactic measure to mitigate the risk of venous and arterial thrombotic complications. Colchicine is an inexpensive (generic drug), orally administered, and a potent anti-inflammatory medication. It might accelerate SARS-CoV-2 clearance. The aim of the CONVINCE study is therefore to assess the safety and efficacy of edoxaban and/or colchicine administration in SARS-CoV-2 infected patients who are managed outside the hospital with respect to the occurrence of fatalities, hospitalisation, major vascular thrombotic events or the SARS-CoV-2 clearance rate under RT PCR.

Of the many treatments proposed for COVID-19, few directly address the severe hypoxia among COVID-19 patients. Interim results from our single-center, non-randomized clinical trial (NCT04332081) suggest that hyperbaric oxygen therapy may reduce inpatient mortality or the need for mechanical ventilation among COVID-19 patients by more than half. Hyperbaric oxygen therapy is delivered by increasing the atmospheric pressure surrounding a patient, which results in increased oxygen delivery to a patient's blood at a rate higher than any other available modality. It is already FDA-approved for several indications, including conditions with impaired gas exchange and severe infectious processes. Furthermore, several studies have found that hyperbaric oxygen therapy inhibits the production of proinflammatory cytokines, which may play a role in the pathophysiology of COVID-19. The goal of this proposal is to perform a multi-center, randomized controlled trial to evaluate the short-term and long-term efficacy of hyperbaric oxygen therapy for COVID-19 patients. This proposal will rigorously test whether hyperbaric oxygen therapy can reduce the substantial mortality and morbidity of this challenging disease.
