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 study aims to address the following objectives: 1. To determine the efficacy of IC14, an anti-CD14 chimeric monoclonal antibody, in patients hospitalized with respiratory disease and hypoxemia due to SARS-CoV-2, in terms of improving the time to resolution of disease. 2. To determine the efficacy of IC14 in reducing the severity of respiratory disease in patients hospitalized with respiratory disease due to SARS-CoV-2. 3. To determine the safety of IC14 in patients hospitalized with respiratory disease due to SARS-CoV-2.
Chimerix
This was a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled Phase 2/3 study to evaluate the safety and efficacy of dociparstat sodium in adult patients with acute lung injury (ALI) due to Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19). This study was designed to determine if dociparstat sodium could accelerate recovery and prevent progression to mechanical ventilation in patients severely affected by COVID-19.

The PROTECT open-label randomised basket trial will assess the effectiveness of hydroxychloroquine (HCQ) as chemoprophylaxis against COVID-19 in multiple vulnerable populations in the United Kingdom.
Leading BioSciences, Inc
This is a Phase 2, proof of concept, randomized, placebo-controlled, multicenter study to evaluate the ability of LB1148 to attenuate pulmonary dysfunction associated with COVID-19 pneumonia. The primary objective of this study is to determine if enteral administration of LB1148 will effect disease progression in hospitalized patients with moderate to severe COVID-19 via measurement of the proportion of subjects alive and free of respiratory failure at Day 28.
Bellerophon
This is a pilot randomized-controlled (2:1) open label investigation of inhaled NO to prevent progression to more advanced disease in 42 hospitalized patients with COVID-19, at risk for worsening, based on baseline systemic oxygenation and 2 or more of the major risk factors of age > 60 years, type II DM, hypertension, and obesity.

The main purpose of this research study is to test the safety and effectiveness of an investigational drug peginterferon lambda-1a in treating COVID-19.
University of Alabama at Birmingham
A controlled trial of the drug tranexamic acid (TXA) in inpatients recently admitted to the hospital with the diagnosis of COVID19. It is hypothesized that TXA will reduce the infectivity and virulence of the virus.
Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey
This is a three-arm randomized trial comparing the efficacy of single agent hydroxychloroquine to the combination of hydroxychloroquine and azithromycin, and to a delayed hydroxychloroquine regimen, which will serve as a contemporaneous Day 1-6 supportive care control, in eliminating detectable SARS-CoV-2 on day 6 following the initiation of treatment in order to determine which regimen is more effective.

Background: Aim: To demonstrate the efficacy of low-dose hydroxychloroquine as primary prevention in healthcare workers Design, participants and interventions: Prospective, randomized, parallel group, double-blinded, placebo controlled, study. including 440 participants who will be randomised to 2 treatment arms: hydroxychloroquine or placebo. Outcome variables: symptomatic or asymptomatic SARS-CoV-2 infection confirmed by PCR, viral load during SARS-CoV-2 infection, seroconversion during the study period, incidence of any acute respiratory infection, days of sick leave. Statistical considerations: No trials have been published investigating the efficacy of HCQ as primary prophylaxis of SARS-CoV-2 infection in health care workers. Thus, sample size calculations in the proposed trial are based on the investigators' best estimates for several parameters. In accordance to the effect of oseltamivir against symptomatic influenza, we assumed an approximate effectiveness of approximately 60% (HR of 0.4) (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6464969/) as realistic. As a prophylactic intervention with HCQ, which may have side effects and for which supply shortage can be expected, was judged justifiable only if its effectiveness is high, we based our sample size consideration on a HR of 0.3. To estimate the probability of an event in both the experimental and the control group, very little data is available. In a Dutch point-prevalence study 0-10% of health-care workers were infected depending on the healthcare institution, depending on the hospital. This point-prevalence study was performed between 6 and 9 March, when the reported number of cases in the Netherlands was 33 and 77, respectively, according to the RIVM (https://www.rivm.nl/nieuws/resultaat-steekproef-4-ziekenhuismedewerkers…). Additionally, in an a report published in the Lancet, 20% of responding healthcare workers in Italy were found to be infected with SARS-CoV2 within less than one month (https://www.thelancet.com/journals/lancet/article/PIIS0140-6736(20)3062…). Several media reports indicate that this proportion is similar across various healthcare institutions and countries (https://www.nytimes.com/2020/03/24/world/europe/coronavirus-europe-covi…) and (https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2020/03/spain-tightens-restrictions-week… 30191539568.html). As the proposed study will be performed in a high-risk setting, we assumed an event (i.e. PCR positivity) probability of 10% in the control group and 3% in the experimental arm after the maximum study period. In summary, a sample size of 210 participants per arm is necessary to detect a HR of 0.3 with a power of 80.3% with an alpha-error of 0.05. To account for drop-outs and asymptomatic, undetected infection at inclusion or past infection with existing immunity, an additional 10 participants will randomized per treatment arm. The overall study population is therefore 440 participants. Statistical analysis will be based on two populations: A Modified Intention to Treat population excluding those who withdrew consent after randomization and those with a positive serology at baseline. And a per protocol population including all randomized subjects who completed at least 3 out of 4 follow-up visits and took at least 80% of all doses of study medication.
