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.

CovidSurg-Cancer is an international, multicentre, observational cohort study designed to evaluate the 30-day COVID-19 infection rates in elective cancer surgery during the COVID-19 pandemic. Centres can elect to include one or more cancer types in the study, in any combination, depending on local expertise and capacity. During the pilot study, investigators should enrol patients with confirmed diagnoses of: - Colorectal cancer - Oesophagogastric cancer As a rapid response study to the COVID-19 pandemic, included cancer types will evolve throughout the course of the CovidSurg-Cancer study period, for example, to include breast, liver, pancreatic, gynaecological, urological cancers, or sarcomas.
Nordsjaellands Hospital
Prone position ventilation is frequently used in the ICU to treat severe hypoxemia in patients with COVID-19 associated acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). The aim of the PROVENT-COVID study is to assess whether applying prone position ventilation immediately after intubation reduces the duration of mechanical ventilation compared to prone position ventilation according to standard criteria for prone position.
Kafrelsheikh University
Investigating the role of 13cis retinoic acid in the treatment of COVID-19 and enhancement of Its spike protein based vaccine efficacy and safety.
GlaxoSmithKline
The purpose of this study is to examine how patients with multiple myeloma (MM) have been impacted by the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) pandemic. The study will use a questionnaire to further understand how patients are being affected and gather information in order to track the long-term effects of the coronavirus. The scope of the questionnaire will include, COVID-19 diagnosis and treatment, changes in myeloma treatment and care, clinical trial familiarity, health and fitness, and quality of life. This questionnaire is a follow-on to the "MM and COVID-19" questionnaire.
Massachusetts General Hospital
Best Practices to Prevent COVID-19 Illness in Staff and People With Serious Mental Illness and Developmental Disabilities in Congregate Living Settings is a research study aimed at developing, implementing, and evaluating a package of interventions specifically designed to reduce COVID-19 and other infectious-disease incidence, hospitalizations, and mortality among staff and adults with Serious Mental Illness and Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities in congregate-living settings.
RAND
Study to support the mental and physical well-being of US health care workers during the COVID-19 pandemic and ensure high-quality care for patients through Stress First Aid.
Yaounde Central Hospital
This is an exploratory study to evaluate the efficacy of Doxycycline (200mg on D1 to D7) and Rivaroxaban (15 mg daily on D1 to D7) versus the combination of Hydroxychloroquine (400 mg on D1 to D7) and Azithromycin (500 mg on D1 and 250mg on D2 to D5) as per national standard to treat ambulatory mild COVID-19 patients, with the aim to achieve early negativity of RT-PCR of SARS-CoV-2 from nasopharyngeal swab, and early clinical improvement and prevention of severe disease.

The positive cases of coronavirus disease-2019 (COVID-19) in Indonesia has been increasing rapidly since the first case found in March 2020 to date. Coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) virus disrupts human normal immune system resulting in uncontrolled inflammatory response. Based on our research and experience in doing cell therapy for 9 years, activated platelet-rich plasma (PRP) produces anti-inflammatory effects in inflammatory condition that is beneficial for tissue regeneration. In this study, we aimed to evaluate the potential of autologous activated platelet-rich plasma (aaPRP) and the outcomes for treating severe Coronavirus Disease-2019 (COVID-19) patients in Intensive Care Unit (ICU).

It should be known by the clinician that COVID-19 patients are prone to anxiety, and these disorders need to be properly diagnosed and addressed to improve prognosis, shorten hospital stay and avoid long-term mental health problems.

The coronavirus disease (COVID-19) emerged in late 2019 and has since been diagnosed in over a million persons worldwide. As this virus progresses, it causes an extreme and uncontrolled response from the patient's immune system accompanied by reduced oxygen flow to major organs, and subsequent ischaemic injury. The current treatment of COVID-19 is largely supportive without any cure or vaccine available at this time. Developing new methods to reduce this heightened inflammatory response is essential to halting progression of COVID-19 in patients and reducing the severity of damage. The cellular mechanisms seen in COVID-19 are similar to those seen in patients with sepsis. A process known as Remote Ischemic Conditioning (RIC) is an intervention which has been shown to prevent cellular injury including those associated with sepsis. Based on the evidence from studies looking at sepsis, it is anticipated the same benefit would be seen in patients diagnosed with COVID-19. RIC is a simple, non-invasive procedure where a blood pressure cuff is applied to the arm for repeated cycles of inflating and deflating (typically 3-5 cycles of 5 minutes each). This process activates pro-survival mechanisms in the body to protect vital organs and improve the immune system. Therefore, we believe it represents an exciting strategy to protect organs against reduced blood flow and extreme immune response, as seen in COVID-19 infections.
