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.

The pandemic of a new coronavirus SARS-COV-2, which causes COVID-19 disease, has spread rapidly and is a major public health challenge. While the focus is primarily on containing the number of cases and finding alternative therapies, information is still lacking to elucidate the dynamics of viral circulation and to understand the distribution of the infection in the population. The cases reported in Argentina and worldwide could plausibly represent only a small proportion of the number of asymptomatic or poorly symptomatic cases that exist in society. However, the magnitude of this dissociation between symptomatic cases and asymptomatic persons is unknown. Knowing this information is of strategic importance as it will allow the estimation of a community prevalence and the evaluation of the best containment strategy. In fact, although all social distancing measures are now indispensable, the feasibility of prolonging the measure over time is a complex issue and in any case will require population-based information. The best way to approach the estimation of a true population prevalence is to take representative samples from the population and test them periodically. These experiences were carried out in other contexts showing heterogeneous results within the community studied. In Spain, for example, the range of antibodies present in the population varied from 1.1% to 14.2%, also showing that an important part of the population had had contact with the virus without symptoms. Studies in Switzerland and the United States also show similar findings. However, these estimates are not automatically transferable to other settings. The city of Buenos Aires has a particular demographic composition with an important group of the population living in shantytowns (it is estimated that between 7% and 10% of the population lives in shantytowns) and with much heterogeneity among the different communes of the city. In the villas, the incidence rates of COVID-19 infection differ significantly from those present in the group "outside the village". However, there is also an important difference in the incidence rates by commune, even without considering the villas. Thus, it is important to know the sero-epidemiology of antibodies against SARS-COV2 in a representative sample of the city of Buenos Aires. For this purpose, a nationally produced test (COVIDAR IgG) developed by professionals from CONICET and Instituto Leloir will be used. The aim of this initiative is to estimate the true dimension of the COVID-19 epidemic in the City of Buenos Aires, by studying the immunological status of the Buenos Aires population in relation to SARS-Cov2, as well as to observe the evolution of the infection among the population, since this information is essential to guide future public health measures related to the control of COVID-19. To achieve this objective, a comprehensive sero-epidemiological study will be carried out to provide estimates of past SARS-Cov2 infection with sufficient precision to be representative of the sero-epidemiological status of the Buenos Aires city population.

COVID-19 morbidity and mortality has been associated with Cytokine Release Syndrome (CRS) and Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome (ARDS). ATI-450 is an oral small molecule MAPKAPK2 (MK2) inhibitor that potently inhibits multiple inflammatory cytokines. The investigator hypothesizes that MK2 pathway blockade during active COVID-19 infection in hospitalized participants will result in improvement in respiratory-failure free survival.

The COVID-19 pandemic is of grave concern due its impact on human health and on the economy. Propolis, a natural resin produced by bees from plant materials, has anti-inflammatory, immunomodulatory, anti-oxidant properties, and various aspects of the SARS-CoV-2 infection mechanism are potential targets for propolis compounds. Propolis components have inhibitory effects on the ACE2, TMPRSS2 and PAK1 signaling pathways; in addition, antiviral activity has been proven in vitro and in vivo. This is a pilot randomized study that aims to assess the impact of using Brazilian green propolis extract against the deleterious effects of the new coronavirus.

Problem: The COVID- 19 pandemic has not only affected our healthcare system, but the impact on the worldwide financial systems and our "normal" way of life is still to be determined. Although the percentage of patients infected with COVID-19 that need hospital care is low, Its high rate of contagiousness makes the total number of patients in need of hospital care cripple any healthcare system, limiting the space available for other patients in need of critical care, who cannot be admitted or even prefer not to attend the hospital in fear of infection. Early investigations report an Increase risk of thromboembolic complications, and a systemic inflammatory response not clearly understood. There is a possible vascular endothelial dysfunction due to chronic comorbidities (Hypertension, diabetes, obesity, chronic kidney disease, lung disease) as a risk factor for a more severe presentation. Justification: Sulodexide is a two-compound drug, each of them with different endothelial action that can be beneficial in COVID-19 patients. Glycosaminoglycans: Can help restore venous and arterial endothelial glycocalyx which can downregulate or limit the response to inflammatory molecules, by maintaining the integrity lost in certain chronic diseases (high blood pressure, diabetes). Heparin compound: It has an antithrombotic effect that could help reduce the incidence of thromboembolic complications, and also add to the anti-inflammatory response due to it anti-thrombin action (similar or a bit less to that of low molecular weight heparin) with less risk of major bleeding. It's a medication that can be used orally with minimal adverse effects and is less expensive than low molecular weight heparin. Hypothesis: We hypothesize that sulodexide instituted early in populations at significant risk and symptomatic patients affected with COVID-19 (shortness of breath, fever, weakness, diarrhoea) and risk factors of diabetes, hypertension, COPD, atherosclerosis, chronic kidney disease, will provide improvement in endothelial integrity, decrease inflammatory responses, and improved clinical outcomes with decreased hospital admission, decrease VTE and arterial complications, morbidity, and mortality. Objective: To use sulodexide in patients that have early onset of COVID-19 symptoms to mitigate the progression of the disease process that can allow them to recover at home, and limit the need of hospital care and a more severe clinical manifestation
