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 is a Phase I study with the primary objective of identifying the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of FT516 using 3 dose-escalation strategies (number of doses and cell dose) for the treatment of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). This study provides initial estimates of safety and efficacy based on stable respiratory function, as well as, determining the feasibility for full-scale studies designed both for efficacy and safety.
4D pharma plc
This is a randomised, double-blind, placebo controlled study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of MRx-4DP0004 in patients with COVID-19. 90 hospitalised patients will be enrolled and randomised (2:1) to receive MRx-4DP0004 or placebo for up to 14 days. MRx-4DP0004 is an immunomodulating Live Biotherapeutic Product (LBP) which is expected to prevent or reduce the hyperinflammatory response to SARS-CoV-2 infection without impairing viral clearance.
NYU Langone Health
In this study invetigators propose to administer clazakizumab to patients with life-threatening COVID-19 infection manifest by pulmonary failure and a clinical picture consistent with a cytokine storm syndrome. This is a double-blinded randomized multi-center trial designed as a phase II dose-finding three arm trial with seamless adaptive transition to a phase III efficacy trial. For phase II, patients were randomized 1:1:1 ratio to three study arms and received clazakizumab at a dose of 12.5 mg, 25 mg or placebo. Based on interim analysis, the low dose arm was dropped and the phase III portion of the study continued to enroll patients randomized 1:1 to high dose clazakizumab or placebo. Based on interim analysis, the remaining 10 subjects at NYU will be randomly assigned to a 1:1 ratio to two arms that will receive clazakizumab at a dose of 25 mg or placebo. The NYU site will serve as the central data management site for other centers who undertake this protocol. Other sites will enroll patients based on the two arm 1:1 randomization. 60 patients at outside sites are expected to enroll.
Novartis Pharmaceuticals
This was a multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study to assess the efficacy and safety of canakinumab plus standard-of-care (SOC) compared with placebo plus SOC in patients with COVID-19-induced pneumonia and cytokine release syndrome (CRS).
Complejo Hospitalario Universitario de Albacete
Retrospective clinical-epidemiological study aimed at characterizing COVID-19 disease in adults older than 70 years, hospitalized in the "Perpetuo Socorro" Hospital of Albacete (Spain) from 09/03/2020 until 20/04/2020. Secondary objectives will be to analyze clinical-epidemiological characteristics of COVID-19 patients treated with Baricitinib or Anakinra, and to describe the efficacy and secondary effects of those drugs.
Hoffmann-La Roche
This study will assess the pharmacodynamics, pharmacokinetics, safety and efficacy of two different doses of tocilizumab (TCZ) in combination with standard-of-care (SOC) in hospitalized adult participants with moderate to severe COVID-19 pneumonia.
Louisiana State University Health Sciences Center in New Orleans
Although the novel SARS-CoV-2 virus (COVD-19) is classified as an acute respiratory infection, emerging data show that morbidity and mortality are driven by disseminated intravascular coagulopathy. Untreated CAC leads to microangiopathic thromboses, causing multiple systems organ failure and consuming enormous healthcare resources. Identifying strategies to prevent CAC are therefore crucial to reducing COVID-19 hospitalization rates. The pathogenesis of CAC is unknown, but there are major overlaps between severe COVID-19 and vitamin D insufficiency (VDI). We hypothesize that VDI is a major underlying contributor to CAC. Preliminary data from severe COVID-19 patients in New Orleans support this hypothesis. The purpose of the proposed multi-center, prospective, randomized controlled trial is to test the hypothesis that low-risk, early treatment with aspirin and vitamin D in COVID-19 can mitigate the prothrombotic state and reduce hospitalization rates.
OHSU Knight Cancer Institute
This is a prospective, randomized, double-blinded, placebo-controlled, pilot study to assess the preliminary efficacy and safety of hydroxychloroquine for the treatment of patients with lower respiratory tract SARS-CoV-2 infection.
Institut Curie
This research proposes to study a large healthy population active for the presence of antibodies directed against the Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) virus and this over time. After verification of the inclusion criteria and information by the coordinating investigative doctor, the volunteers sign a written consent. A nurse will take blood samples under safe conditions compatible with the pandemic period and while respecting the protection of the volunteer's personal data. The blood samples will be taken at 4 times for Institute Curie and Institute Pasteur: T0 (day of inclusion), between 6 weeks and 3 months ,6 months and 12 months post-inclusion. Each blood sample consists of a collection of 5 mL of blood in a dry tube. The serum samples will be extracted and collected prospectively from the blood samples. The nasopharyngeal swabs will be performed at 3 times: , between 6 weeks and 3 months, 6 months and 12 months post-inclusion for Institute Curie staff who have had at least one of the following four criteria on the sample or questionnaire carried out at T0: - have had RT-PCR+ - and/or presence of antibodies at the 95% threshold - and/or anosmia/ageusia - and/or digestive syndrome with associated respiratory signs. In case of infection between sampling times, if the volunteer meets one of the four criteria above, a nasopharyngeal swab will be performed during the following visits. The nasopharyngeal swab shall also be proposed to volunteers not meeting the 4 above listed criteria in order to have a control group (about 100 volunteers) for future statistical analyses. If the volunteers accept, naso-pharyngeal swab shall be performed between 6 weeks and 3 months, 6 months and 12 months after inclusion. For volunteers already included at Institute Curie : in case of proved (RT-PCR+ or antigenic +) or very likely (anosmia and/or ageusia, and/or digestive syndrome with associated respiratory signs) between 2 sampling times already planned in the flow chart, blood samples and nasopharyngeal swabs shall be performed. Those shall be performed if time since last planned sampling(s) has been more than 3 weeks or if time until next sampling(s) is more than 3 weeks. The blood samplings and nasopharyngeal swabs will be performed at 4 times for Institute Pasteur personnel: at T0 (inclusion day), between 6 weeks and 3 months, at 6 months and 12 months post-inclusion
