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 research is to find out if a drug (sargramostim) also known as Leukine® could help patient recover faster from COVID-19. Sargramostim may help the lungs recover from the effects of COVID-19, and this research study will help to find this out.

The recent inception of the coronavirus SARS-CoV-2, responsible for the coronavirus disease (COVID-19), has caused thousands of deaths globally. The most frequently reported complications among COVID-19 patients are from respiratory involvement. Vitamin D has immunomodulatory effects that could protect against COVID-19 infection. Indeed, there is good evidence from randomized clinical trials suggesting that high doses of vitamin D administered during cold seasons prevent viral respiratory infections in at risk individual, and more recently, observational studies suggested that the mortality rate from COVID-19 is inversely correlated with levels of serum 25(OH)vitamin D. The hypothesis of the study is that a high dose of vitamin D given orally to patients admitted to the hospital for COVID-19 will prevent the occurrence of respiratory deragement and other adverse clinical events. To evaluate the aforementioned hypothesis, a randomized, controlled, double-blind, clinical trial comparing a 500.000 UI dose of vitamin D versus placebo among COVID-19 patients at moderate risk, requiring hospitalization but without requirements of critical care at admission was designed. The intervention will be one dose of 500.000 UI given orally or matching placebo. The trial has a sequential design with two steps: - The first step, projected to include 200 patients, will assess the effects of the intervention on the respiratory SOFA; and - If there is a detectable effects, the second step, projected to include 1264 patients, will assess the effects on a combined event that includes need of high dose of oxygen or mechanical ventilation. All study outcomes will be measured during the index hospitalization.
University of Pennsylvania
Phase 1 safety study to determine the tolerability, clinical effects, and changes in laboratory parameters of short course oral or IV cyclosporine (CSA) administration in patients with COVID-19 disease requiring oxygen supplementation but not requiring ventilator support.
AbCellera Biologics Inc.
The purpose of this study is to test the safety and tolerability of LY3819253 when it is given by injection into a vein to participants hospitalized with COVID-19. Blood tests will be done to check how much LY3819253 is in the bloodstream and how long the body takes to eliminate it. Participation could last about 8 weeks and may include up to 15 visits in the hospital or the home.
Canadian Medical and Surgical Knowledge Translation Research Group
This is a 14-day long prospective, multi-site, two-armed, randomized, open-label study that will enroll approximately 100 adult outpatients in Canada who have received a positive SARS-CoV-2 test result within the preceding 72 hours. Participants will be randomized (1:1) to receive either icosapent ethyl (4 g BID for 3 days, then 2 g BID for the subsequent 11 days) or usual care. Blood samples will be collected to determine if icosapent ethyl use lowers circulating pro-inflammatory biomarkers.

The study is a prospective, randomized, placebo-controlled, double-blind phase 2 clinical study of the efficacy and safety of CERC-002, a potent inhibitor of LIGHT (Lymphotoxin-like, exhibits Inducible expression, and competes with Herpes Virus Glycoprotein D for Herpesvirus Entry Mediator, a receptor expressed by T lymphocytes), for the treatment of patients with 2019 novel coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pneumonia who have mild to moderate Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome (ARDS). LIGHT is a cytokine in the tumor necrosis factor super family (TNFSF14) which drives inflammation and induces many other cytokines including IL-1, IL-6 and GM-CSF. LIGHT levels have been shown to be elevated in COVID-19 infected patients and inhibiting LIGHT is hypothesized to ameliorate the cytokine storm which has shown to be a major factor in progression of ARDS. The study will assess the efficacy and safety of CERC-002 in patients with severe COVID-19 over a 28 day period as single dose on top of standard of care.
University of Victoria
The purpose of this study is to evaluate different types of exercise programs (virtual group-based exercise program; personal exercise program; wait-list control) across 12-weeks on the physical and mental health of older adults during the current Covid-19 pandemic.
CSL Behring
This is a prospective, phase 2, multicenter, randomized, double blind, placebo controlled, parallel group study to assess the safety and efficacy of CSL312 administered intravenously, in combination with standard of care (SOC) treatment, in patients with Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID 19)
Rowpar Pharmaceuticals, Inc.
In this pilot trial, 150 confirmed COVID-19 individuals will be randomly assigned to 1 of 5 groups: distilled water, CloSYS Ultra Sensitive Rinse (Rowpar Pharmaceutical Inc., USA), Oral-B Mouth Sore (Oral-B, USA), Crest Pro-Health Multi-Protection (Crest, USA), or Listerine Zero (Johnson and Johnson, USA). Study participants will be asked to rinse/gargle with 10-20ml (according to the rinse instructions) of the assigned solutions 4 times per day, for 30-60 seconds, for 4 weeks.

It still unclear how SARS-CoV-2 affects pregnant women and their offspring, as well as which factors may influence obstetrical disease and outcomes, including the timing of maternal viral exposure by gestational age, the effects of parity, age, host immune responses, coexisting medical and obstetrical conditions and the effects of treatment regimens. While further information is gathered, based on the existing evidence from other infections causing pneumonia, pregnant women should be considered to be at high risk for developing severe infection during the current COVID-19 epidemic. Results from clinical trials with HCQ in nonpregnant adults may not be directly extrapolated to pregnant women given the special features of the pregnancy status. Thus, clinical research is urgently needed to improve the care and reduce the risk of poor pregnancy outcomes of women in this and in future epidemics.
