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.

In this randomized controlled clinical trial, defined cases of COVID-19 with mild, moderate, or severe pneumonia (according to the NIH guideline) were treated with conventional treatment regimens (controls) as well as in combination with oral administration of colchicine plus herbal phenolic monoterpene fractions (intervention arm). After randomization, each group received the mentioned treatments and were evaluated for different variables including mortality, hospitalization duration, intensive care unit (ICU) administration ratios as well as laboratory variables such as leukocytes and lymphocytes count. The follow-up period considered as 2 weeks after discharge. The mentioned variables were assessed as before and after receiving the treatment in each group as well as intergroup analysis for comparing both baseline and final values.

The most severe manifestations of COVID-19 include respiratory failure, coagulation problems, and death. Inflammation and blood clotting are believed to play an important role in these manifestations. Research in humans has shown that dipyridamole can reduce blood clotting. This research study is being conducted to learn whether 14 days of treatment with dipyridamole will reduce excessive blood clotting in COVID-19. This study will enroll participants with confirmed coronavirus (SARS-CoV)-2 infection that are admitted. Eligible participants will be randomized to receive dipyridamole or placebo for 14 days in the hospital. In addition, data will be collected from the medical record, and there will also be blood draws during the hospitalization.

The clinical trial aims to study the safety and efficacy of transfusion of COVID-19 convalescent hyperimmune plasma for the treatment of moderate and severe forms of COVID-19 disease in comparison with non-convalescent fresh frozen plasma (standard plasma).
Centenario Hospital Miguel Hidalgo
Background: In December 2019, patients with pneumonia secondary to a new subtype of Coronavirus (COVID-19) were identified in China. In a few weeks the virus spread and cases started practically all over the world. In February 2020, the WHO declared a pandemic. Severe symptoms have been found in patients mainly with comorbidities and over 50 years of age. At this time there is no proven therapeutic alternative. In vitro studies and observational experiences showed that antimalarial drugs (Chloroquine and hydroxychloroquine) had antiviral activity and increased viral clearance. Ivermectin, on the other hand, has been shown in vitro to reduce viral replication and in an observational cohort, greater viral clearance with promising clinical results. So far there is no standard of treatment and clinical trials are needed to find effective treatment alternatives. Objective: To evaluate the safety and efficacy of treatment with hydroxychloroquine and ivermectin for serious COVID-19 infections in no critical hospitalized patients. Material and methods: Randomized controlled trial of patients diagnosed with respiratory infection by COVID-19, who present criteria for hospitalization. Randomization will be performed to receive hydroxychloroquine at a dose of 400 mg every 12 hours for one day and then 200 mg every 12 hours, to complete a 5-day treatment schedule. Group 2: Ivermectin 12 mg every 24 hours for one day (less than 80 kg) or Ivermectin 18 mg every 24 hours for one day (greater than 80 kg) + placebo until the fifth day. Group 3: Placebo. Prior to randomization, the risk of cardiovascular complications determined by corrected QT interval, related to hydroxychloroquine intake will be assessed. If the patient is at high risk, the allocation will be to ivermectin only or to placebo in an independent randomization, if the risk is low, any of the three groups could be assigned. Outcomes: The primary outcome will be discharge from hospital for improvement. The safety outcomes will be requirement of mechanical intubation, septic shock or death. Viral clearance will also be evaluated by means of PCR, which will be taken on the 5th day after admission, day 14 and 21.

This is a multicenter, single-treatment study. Subjects will consist of adults with COVID-19 associated acute lung injury who are being cared for in a critical care environment.

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.

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

This protocol provides access to investigational convalescent plasma for patients in acute care facilities infected with SARS-CoV-2 who have severe or life-threatening COVID-19, or who are judged by a healthcare provider to be at high risk of progression to severe or life-threatening disease. Following provision of informed consent, patients will be transfused with 1-2 units of ABO compatible convalescent plasma obtained from an individual who has recovered from documented infection with SARS-CoV-2 (as detailed in separate protocol). Safety information collected will include serious adverse events judged to be related to administration of convalescent plasma. Other information to be collected will include patient demographics, acute care facility resource utilization (total length of stay, days in ICU, days intubated), and survival to discharge from acute care facility.

SAINT is a double-blind, randomized controlled trial with two parallel groups that evaluates the efficacy of ivermectin in reducing nasal viral carriage at seven days after treatment in SARS-CoV-2 infected patients who are at low risk of progression to severe disease. The trial is currently planned at a single center in Navarra.
