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.

This COVID-19 pandemic warrants urgent strategies to protect people at high risk of infection, particularly the healthcare workers. Secondary prevention through post-exposure prophylaxis (PEP) and early treatment of infection are needed to prevent severe cases and cut secondary transmission. Hydroxycholoroquine (HCQ) is an inexpensive anti-malarial drug with immunomodulatory effects that are currently used as an off-label treatment for symptomatic COVID-19 patients. In vitro studies have shown that it can efficiently inhibit SARS-CoV-2 infection and has potential as a post-exposure prophylaxis drug.

The purpose of this proof of concept study is to provide COVID-19 convalescent plasma to patients with moderate to severe COVID-19 and assess: - the titer of anti-COVID-19 antibodies in the donors and in the patients before and after treatment; - the in-depth analysis of immunological parameters in the donors and in recipient before and after treatment; - the impact of plasma transfusion on the reduction of viral load and inflammation - safety and tolerability - clinical efficacy
NYU Langone Health
Cardiometabolic disease may confer increased risk of adverse outcomes in COVID-19 patients by activation of the aldose reductase pathway, a trigger of the inflammatory cascade. The study team hypothesizes that aldose reductase inhibition with AT-001 (caficrestat) might represent a novel therapeutic approach to reduce inflammation and risk of adverse outcomes in diabetic patients with COVID-19. An open-label pilot study to assess safety, tolerability and efficacy of AT-001 in hospitalized COVID-19 patients with history of diabetes mellitus and heart disease will be conducted. Eligible participants will be treated with AT-001 1500 mg twice daily for up to 14 days. Safety, tolerability, survival and length of hospital stay data were compared with matched controls from a contemporaneous registry of COVID-19 patients.
Pfizer
In this study we propose to treat 560 patients with ramipril or placebo for 14 days. After an initial evaluation for COVID-19 status, medical history, and symptom assessment, patients will receive either 2.5 mg/day of ramipril or placebo. Patients' symptoms and study endpoints will be monitored at regular intervals. After 14 days, patients will undergo a laboratory assessment and an end-of-treatment follow-up visit at day 28. The primary endpoints of successful therapy will be improved survival, reductions in ICU admissions, and/or reductions in use of mechanical ventilator support.
Celularity Incorporated
This study is a Phase 1 / 2 trial to determine the safety and efficacy of CYNK-001, an immunotherapy containing Natural Killer (NK) cells derived from human placental CD34+ cells and culture-expanded, in patients with moderate COVID-19 disease.
Medical Practice Prof D. Ivanov
It is supposed to monitor hypertensive patients who are infected or have clinical manifestations of COVID-19 for 1 month after the onset of the disease. Three groups will be considered: 1. receiving ACE inhibitors 2. receiving ARBs 3. receiving DIR.

The outbreak of the 2019 Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic is a major stressor leading to increased levels of anxiety, and specifically, an excessive fear of being infected and affected by the disease among major parts of the population. At the same time, the access to mental health services is limited due to the lockdown policy applied in many countries worldwide, warranting the development of home-delivered interventions aimed at reducing stress and anxiety symptoms. Attention Bias modification (ABM) has been found to be an efficacious computerized intervention to reduce anxiety symptoms. In this open pilot trial, participants reporting on elevated levels of health anxiety concerning the COVID-19 epidemic will receive one session of ABM over 5 consecutive days (5 sessions total). Symptoms of health anxiety, state anxiety, generalized anxiety, and depression will be measured at baseline and post-treatment.

This study is aiming at investigating whether professional burnout in people involved in the mobile intensive care unit (in French: Element Mobile de Réanimation, EMR) in Mulhouse (France) can be predicted upstream by a low mindfulness level (as a protective factor) or by a dysregulation of stress pathways with a high level of perceived stress towards an emotional event (psychological index of allostatic load), i.e. an early and silent dysfunctional physiological response (measured by the electrophysiological and biological measurements of allostasis load and parasympathetic brake). It is part of a global approach aiming at identifying levers to prevent the allostatic load of occupational stress related to large-scale health crises.

To assess the efficacy and safety of Human coronavirus immune plasma (HCIP) to reduce the risk of hospitalization or death, the duration of symptoms and duration of nasopharyngeal or oropharyngeal viral shedding.
Chelsea and Westminster NHS Foundation Trust
Currently we do not know how best to treat patients infected with COVID-19. This study is looking at whether randomising participants to either favipiravir or to usual care, can help patients with suspected or proven COVID-19 infection.
