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.

France and in particular the paris area was one of the countries most affected by the pandemic Covid19. School closures and a generalized lockdown of the population were instituted in France from 17 March 2020 to 10 May 2020. Schools and nurseries have reopened partially since 11 May 2020. From 2 June, this reopening is more widespread. By combining the search for SARS-Cov2 viruses by PCR and micro-method serology we will be able to evaluate both the infection at a given time and also older contact with SARS-CoV2. The temporal knowledge of the prevalence of SARS-Cov2 carriage and the serological status (IgM and IgG) after return to the community are crucial information to evaluate the speed of spread of the virus in children. This is the objective of COVILLE2, phase 2 of the COVILLE study.

Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2) has caused a global pandemic and is associated with significant morbidity and mortality. The mortality rate for COVID-19 patients admitted to an intensive care unit (ICU) who require mechanical intubation is approximately 75%. While the pathophysiology of severe COVID-19 has yet to be fully understood, it is possible that a combination of high viral loads and an overactive dysregulated inflammatory response may contribute. Therefore, the clearance of SARS-CoV-2 virus and cytokines could provide a more opportunistic environment for the innate immune system to clear the virus and establish lasting immunity. The Seraph®-100 Microbind® Affinity Blood Filter (Seraph®-100) is an extracorporeal broad-spectrum sorbent hemoperfusion filter for removing virus and cytokines from the blood. The FDA authorized an Emergency Use Authorization (EUA) for treatment of severe COVID-19 with the Seraph®-100. As part of the EUA, this registry study will collect de-identified data to assess safety and efficacy on the use of Seraph®-100 Microbind® Affinity Blood Filter in the treatment of COVID-19 patients.

Study rationale 1. An increasing proportion of the worldwide population is being infected with COVID-19. 2. There are ongoing and currently unanswered safety concerns about the effects of COVID-19 on reproductive health. 3. It will be immensely reassuring to rapidly report that COVID-19 has no detectable effects on male endocrine or sperm function. Conversely, if COVID-19 does impair male reproductive health, appropriate screening can be performed in couples trying to conceive, and further research can be undertaken. 4. The proposed study will be simple, rapid, and authoritative for the UK and worldwide.

The aim is to demonstrate a decrease in complications among ambulatory patients who are diagnosed with mild COVID-19 by treating them with nitazoxanide for 7 to 14 days on top of standard care compared to patients who receive standard care and placebo only.
First Wave BioPharma, Inc.
This is a Phase 2, multicentre, randomized, double blind, 2 arm placebo-controlled study in adults with moderate COVID-19 with gastrointestinal signs and symptoms.
Bio-Thera Solutions
This is a randomized study to assess safety, pharmacokinetics, immunogenicity, and efficacy of BAT2020 in hospitalized patients infected with COVID-19. This study is composed of 2 Parts: a single ascending dose (Part 1) and single dose(s) tested in parallel with a double-blind, placebo-controlled design (Part 2). Patients also will receive best available standard of care (SOC) treatment. A data and safety monitoring board (DSMB) will be set up for the study.

With potential antiviral effects on severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) and as a methyl-xanthine derived inhibitor of phosphodiesterase-4, pentoxifylline basically functions as a hemorrheologic agent for a better circulation and oxygenation and exerts unique effects on immune modulation, inflammation and oxidative stress. As the main regulator of cAMP metabolism, posphodiesterase-4 plays a key role in proinflammatory and immune cells. Pentoxifylline plays its anti-inflammatory role by reducing the production of proinflammatory cytokines such as TNF-a, IL-1 and IL-6. Given its unique impacts on immune modulation, homeostasis and fibrinolysis and its supportive effects on oxidative stress and organ failure, pentoxifylline can constitute a multipurpose and generally-safe adjuvant therapy for COVID-19 patients.

COVID-19 virus remains in infected patients for extended periods of time. A great resource burden is placed on the healthcare system and society at large to isolate COVID-19 patients for prolonged periods. Thus, being able to increase the rate of viral clearance, thus reducing the duration of COVID-19 infection, would allow patients to be discharged earlier to free up resources for those who require it. The investigators designed a randomized controlled trial, investigating the use of Lianhua Qingwen, a TCM treatment, in COVID-19 infected patients with mild symptoms. The investigators hypothesize that the use of Lianhua Qingwen will increase the proportion of patients who test negative for COVID-19 after 8 days of TCM treatment when compared to the group of patients provided with standard care and placebo. Patients will be recruited from community isolation facilities, and have onset of symptoms within 5 days prior to admission to the isolation facility. The trial also evaluates the time taken for relief of clinical symptoms associated with COVID-19 and assesses the safety of the TCM treatment given to patients.
Merck Sharp & Dohme LLC
The purpose of this study is to evaluate safety, tolerability, and pharmacodynamics of MK-5475 after administration of multiple doses to participants with COVID-19 pneumonia. The primary hypothesis is that MK-5475 when administered to participants with COVID-19 pneumonia and hypoxemia improves arterial oxygenation as measured by the ratio of blood oxygen saturation to fraction of inspired oxygen (SpO2/FiO2 ratio) compared to placebo.

The purpose of this study is to assess the efficacy and safety of the administration of anti-SARS-CoV-2 convalescent plasma in COVID-19 patients who are sick enough to warrant hospitalization, but not yet admitted to the ICU (prior to the onset of overwhelming disease including a systemic inflammatory response, sepsis, and/or ARDS).
