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.

Since the outbreak of the novel coronavirus disease in 2019 (COVID-19), an unprecedented global search for potential therapeutics and vaccines is ongoing. In this study, a combination of two drugs that have been shown to be effective against the germ that causes COVID-19 in the laboratory will be tested in patients diagnosed with moderate to severe COVID-19. One of the drugs is called nitazoxanide and the second is atazanavir/ritonavir. Nitazoxanide has been used for the treatment of diarrhea since 2004 while atazanavir/ritonavir was approved for HIV treatment in 2003. They are known to be safe in humans. In this pilot study, 98 COVID-19 patients will be recruited into two groups. The 49 patients in group 1 will receive the standard of care determined by their primary care providers while the 49 patients in group 2 will receive both the standard of care combined with the two study drugs. Patients in group 2 will receive the study drugs for 14 days and all patients will be monitored for a total of 28 days. The time it takes for the germ that causes COVID-19 to be completely removed from the body (in nasal secretions) and the time to clinical improvement will be monitored in all patients and compared between the two groups.

This is a phase II randomised, multicentre, prospective, open label clinical trial. The trial aims to recruit patients who test positive for COVID-19 who have mild symptoms and therefore can treat their symptoms in the community. Patients who test positive for COVID-19 at hospital may also be able to participate.

- This is a phase II randomized study of convalescent plasma for the treatment of non-immune individuals with COVID-19 infection at high risk of complications. - Subjects will be considered as having completed the study after 2 months (+/- 5) days, unless consent withdrawal or death occurs first. - Subjects will be randomized to receiving convalescent plasma or best supportive care. - Patients randomized to best supportive care may receive plasma should they require hospitalization for progression of COVID-19 disease. - The final analysis will be conducted once the last subject completes the 2-month visit or withdraws from the study.

High risk outpatient adult males with a confirmed SARS-CoV-2 infection will be included in the study. Patients will be randomized to receive Enzalutamide with standard of care (SOC) or SOC alone. Enzalutamide will be administered daily p.o. from Day 1 to Day 28 or until confirmed negativization of Nasopharyngeal swap (NPS) Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) (2 consecutive negative samples), whichever occurs first.

The investigators aim to deliver a tele-wellness supported app to Baltimore City's Family Child Care Home (FCCH) providers who are caring for children of Essential Personnel. Once a pre-survey is conducted, login information will be assigned to 30 Family Child Care Home providers and parents the FCCH serve. Providers and Parents will receive self-care and parenting/parent engagement support through the app and through a tele-wellness service, Ask a Nurse, provided by community health nurses at the Johns Hopkins School of Nursing. Children will have access to gamified learning materials in early literacy, math, social-emotional learning, and nutrition.

Steroids has shown benefits in COVID19 patients in observational studies. We hypothesized that early use of corticosteroids, low dose, in mild disease, can decrease progression to respiratory failure and death.

The aim of this study is to determine if Povidone iodine (PVP-I) rinses and throat gargles or a PVP-I gel forming nasal spray compared to a placebo (a treatment that has no physical effect to a person) is an effective treatment for patients diagnosed with COVID-19. These patients have been diagnosed with mild/moderate COVID-19 symptoms and sent home for self-isolation. Patients will be instructed to take either of the two treatments or placebo twice daily for two weeks and have follow up visits 2 and 4 weeks after. The participants will also complete study related procedures such as saliva sample collection, and two questionnaires throughout the study period. The investigators hypothesize that COVID 19 positive participants who use either of the Povidone - Iodine treatment will have a reduction in their viral load, develop a negative oral mucosa sample and improve their clinical symptoms.

Pharmacological therapies of proven efficacy in coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) are still lacking. Since two clinical stages of COVID-19 are emerging, an early one with typical clinical characteristics of a viral infection (fever, malaise, cough) and a later one with pneumonia leading to progressive respiratory failure, associated with heavy, cytokine-mediated, inflammation, an intervention by a compound possessing both antiviral activity and immunomodulatory effects would be most effective at the earliest possible stage. The purpose of this clinical trial is to test the efficacy of Interferon-β-1a (IFNβ-1a), in COVID-19 patients in an open label, randomized clinical trial. The design of the study is to test IFNβ-1a in addition to standard of care compared with standard of care alone. The primary outcome is the time to negative conversion of Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome-CoronaVirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2) nasopharyngeal swabs.
