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.

Olfactory dysfunction is a defining symptom of COVID-19 infection. As the number of total, confirmed COVID-19 cases approached 19 million in the United States, it is estimated that there will be 250,000 to 500,000 new cases of chronically diminished smell (hyposmia) and loss of smell (anosmia) this year. Olfactory dysfunction is proposed to worsen numerous common co-morbidities in patients and has been shown to lead to a decreased quality of life. There are very few effective treatments for hyposmia or anosmia, and there is no gold standard of treatment. One proposed treatment option is smell training, which has shown promising yet variable results in a multitude of studies. It garners its theoretical basis from the high degree of neuroplasticity within the olfactory system, both peripherally and centrally. However, due to a relative inadequacy of proper studies on olfactory training, it is unknown what the most efficacious method in which to undergo the training is. This study proposes two novel procedural modifications to smell training in an attempt to enhance its efficacy. The investigators propose using a bimodal visual-olfactory approach, rather than relying on olfaction alone, during smell training, as well as using patient-preferred scents in the training that are identified as important by the study participant, rather than pre-determined scents with inadequate scientific backing. The investigators hypothesize that by utilizing bimodal visual-olfactory training and patient-selected scents, the olfactory training will be more efficacious and more motivating for participants.

This study is designed as a 2-part, 2-cohort, double-blind, randomized, placebo controlled, multicenter Phase 1/2 study to evaluate the safety, tolerability and efficacy of RJX in patients with COVID-19.

The purpose of this research is to understand if the study drug, also called sargramostim or Leukine®, can help prevent the worsening of COVID-19 when the study drug is inhaled. This study will also help researchers understand if inhaled sargramostim can help prevent visits to the emergency room or hospitalization, or death.

This open label clinical trial is to evaluate two different doses of dexamethasone on the health outcome using World Health Organization ordinal scale at day 28 in hospitalized patients with COVID-19.
Cytocom, Inc.
This is a randomized, single blind, study. Males and females meeting inclusion criteria who have symptoms of mild COVID-19 and in whom a positive PCR result for SARS-CoV-2 is obtained may be enrolled to the study treatment within 72 hours of the positive PCR result. Eligible patients are those considered to be at high risk for COVID-19 disease progression. This includes patients ≥ 65 years of age or with any one or more of certain medical conditions including: cancer, COPD, cardiovascular disease, immunocompromised state resulting from solid organ transplant, obesity, sickle cell disease, history of smoking, and diabetes.

The goal of this study is to develop evidence-based messages that effectively mitigate concerns of people at risk for not being vaccinated against COVID-19, with the ultimate goal of maximizing vaccine uptake in vulnerable populations. The investigators will collect data on COVID-19 disease and vaccine knowledge, beliefs, and intent to be vaccinated from an existing online panel. Results from this data collection will be used to develop effective messages and communication strategies. The investigators will test alternate versions of messages intended to reduce vaccine hesitancy and promote vaccine uptake among vaccine-hesitant individuals. This project will ultimately result in a set of tested, evidence-derived messages about vaccination for COVID-19.

Clinical study of Humira (adalimumab) or placebo in subjects with mild-moderate COVID-19
Kitasato University
Treatment of mild COVID-19 is basically performed at an outpatient clinic, then when the symptom and clinical findings exacerbate to a moderate level, patients are admitted. There is no standard treatment for mild cases. This study will investigate whether ivermectin administration suppresses the replication of SARS-CoV-2 in mild to moderate COVID-19 by investigating the negative rate of SARS-CoV-2 PCR by a randomized controlled trial. Subjects are assigned to two groups, the placebo group, and the ivermectin group. The target number of each treatment arm is 120, a total of 240 cases. A single oral administration of 200 ㎍/kg of ivermectin or an ivermectin-free placebo will be administered on an empty stomach. Time to negativization of SARS-CoV-2 PCR as the primary endpoint with additional efficacy and safety of the process will be investigated.

The research objective of the UNITE Study is to assess the potential efficacy of ultrasound application to the spleen in the treatment of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) in a pilot study. Specific Aims: 1. Determine the efficacy of splenic ultrasound in affecting markers of systemic inflammation in COVID-19 infection. 2. Evaluate the potential efficacy of splenic ultrasound in affecting clinical outcomes in COVID-19 infection.
