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.

The current study aims to assess the feasibility, acceptance and clinical outcomes of a practical high-dose aiTBS protocol, including tapering treatments and symptom-based relapse prevention treatments, in patients with unipolar depression previously responsive to ECT and patients needing urgent treatment due to symptom severity during the COVID-19 pandemic.

BACKGROUND Despite drastic quarantine measures, COVID-19 continues to propagate and threatens global healthcare systems by saturating their capacity with high transmissibility and the particularly protracted length of stay needed by those requiring intensive care. Indeed, once patients advance to the ICU, prognosis is poor and it is thus critical to test medications that may prevent complications and reduce viral shedding. i.e. to protect ambulatory patients and their families from complications and transmission and allow them to #StayHome. To date, no treatment has been reliably demonstrated as effective in COVID-19 patients. Hydroxychloroquine (HCQ), a common and well tolerated medication, has shown promise in vitro for reducing viral replication (for SARS-CoV-2 as well as other coronaviruses with pandemic potential such as SARS-CoV-1 and MERS). Since then, several small-scale hospital-based clinical studies have indicated the potential for reduced viral shedding and hospitalisation as well as favourable evolution of lung pathology. If started earlier, this treatment could prevent complications requiring hospitalisation and intensive care, which may not be available in low-income countries. Robust clinical trials are required to assess the potential of HCQ in COVID-19. OBJECTIVES This trial assesses the efficacy of early treatment with HCQ in COVID-19 outpatients to reduce the incidence and severity of complications including secondary hospitalisation, ICU admissions, lung pathology and death. Secondarily, this trial will also assess its efficacy to reduce viral transmission among household contacts during self-quarantine. The clinical data collected in this trial will also be critical in creating early prognostication models to better predict healthcare needs and have evidence-based prioritization of resource allocation, which is especially critical in low-resource settings. METHODS The trial will recruit 800 SARS-CoV-2+ patients and their household contacts at triage sites across Switzerland. Patients included are 1) at risk of poor outcome (comorbidities or >65y) and 2) well enough to self-isolate at home. These patients will be randomised 1:1 in HCQ:Placebo and given 6 days of early treatment (within 24 hours of the SARS-CoV-2 test). Intensive pragmatic multiparameter at-home follow-up (including point-of-care lung ultrasound in some sites) will continue until their outcome (resolution, or complications, such as hospitalisation, ICU admission, death). Household contacts will have before and after serological testing and social distancing knowledge and practices questionnaires to assess risk factors for infections. The household attack rate of new-onset infections can then assess the efficacy of HCQ to prevent transmission.

The overall objective of the study is to determine the therapeutic effect and tolerance of Sarilumab in combination with Azithromycin and Hydroxychloroquine, compared to Sarilumab only, patients with moderate, severe pneumonia associated with Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). Sarilumab is a human IgG1 monoclonal antibody that binds specifically to both soluble and membrane-bound IL-6Rs (sIL-6Rα and mIL-6Rα) and has been shown to inhibit IL-6-mediated signaling through these receptors. The study has a cohort multiple Randomized Controlled Trials (cmRCT) design. Randomization will occur prior to offering investigational treatments administration to patients enrolled in the CORIMUNO-19 cohort (NCT04324047). Sarilumab+Azithromycin+Hydroxychloroquine, or Sarilumab only will be administered to consenting adult patients hospitalized with COVID-19 either diagnosed with moderate or severe pneumonia requiring no mechanical ventilation. All patients will receive standard of care along with randomized investigational treatments. Outcomes of included patients will be compared between groups as well as with outcomes of patients in the CORIMUNO-19 cohort treated with other immune modulators or standard of care.
Tongji Hospital
A novel severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) disease (COVID-19) emerged at December 2019 in Wuhan, China, and soon caused a large global outbreak. The delayed treatment for many chronic diseases, due to the concern of SARS-CoV-2 infection, is an increasing serious problem. Here the investigators investigate the safety of chemotherapy for patients with gynecological malignancy in Wuhan, the center of high-risk regions of COVID-19.
The University of Queensland
This study is being conducted to look at the safety and immune response (how the immune system of the human body reacts) to a vaccine for SARS-CoV-2 (the virus responsible for COVID-19 infection) when administered as an intramuscular injection (an injection directly into the muscle) to the upper arm of healthy participants, on two occasions at least 28 days apart.

In this trial patients will be treated with either a combination of therapies to treat COVID-19 or a placebo. Treatment will last 10 days, and patients will be followed for 6 months.
