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 purpose of this trial is to study the effect of initial temporary sevoflurane sedation on mortality and persistent organ dysfunction (POD) in survivors at day 28 after ICU admission in the population of patients suffering from COVID-19 ARDS.

To assess the seroprevalence of SARS-CoV-2 IgG in Health care workers in three University Hospitals
Johns Hopkins All Children's Hospital
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety, dose-requirements, and exploratory efficacy of twice-daily subcutaneous enoxaparin as venous thromboembolism prophylaxis in children (birth to 18 years) hospitalized with signs and/or symptoms of SARS-CoV-2 infection (i.e., COVID-19).
Instituto de Investigación Hospital Universitario La Paz
There is an urgent need to evaluate interventions that can prevent the infection with SARS-CoV 2 of healthcare workers at risk. Melatonin is an inexpensive and safe product with protective effect in both bacterial and viral infections likely due to its anti-inflammatory and anti-oxidative effects. This randomized controlled trial seeks to evaluate is efficacy as a prophylaxis in healthcare workers exposed to the virus in their clinical practice.

Chloroquine or hydroxychloroquine in COVID-19 treatment
Medical University Innsbruck
ACEI-COVID-19 is a multicenter, randomized trial testing the hypothesis that stopping/replacing chronic treatment with ACE-inhibitors (ACEI) or angiotensin receptor blockers (ARB) improves outcomes in symptomatic SARS-CoV2-infected patients
Ottawa Heart Institute Research Corporation
This study is being conducted to study the use and application of a point-of-care (POC) Covid-19 test developed by Spartan BioSciences and recently approved for clinical use by Health Canada. Phase I of this study will determine the best route for the swabs (nasal, throat, or both), and to determine if this POC test results are comparable to the standard core-lab test results.

The rationale of the present clinical trial is that an orally available drug given to outpatients that could reduce the viral burden in the upper respiratory tract could forestall complications of SARS-CoV-2 infection and reduce transmission from one infected individual to another.
Washington University School of Medicine
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the sensitivity and specificity of several marketed commercial or prototype test kits for antibody to SARS-CoV-2. The focus will be on rapid-format, point-of-care antibody test kits that detect both IgM and IgG antibodies to recombinant viral proteins. Note: No voluntary enrolment into this study will be conducted; all testing is to be conducted anonymously.

The Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome CoronaVirus 2 (SARS-CoV2) has been identified in Wuhan, China, which causes severe pulmonary complications and flu syndrome, which has spread rapidly to all continents. Approximately 25% of hospitalized patients require treatment in intensive care units and 10% require mechanical ventilation. The diagnosis is made by the molecular polymerase chain reaction test. However, diagnostic tests are limited. The clinical care of the patient with COVID-19 is similar to that of patients with severe infectious respiratory complications, consisting of support and oxygen supplementation. Several medications have been tested as remdesivir, a pro-drug nucleoside, which acts by inhibiting viral RNA transcription, although a recently published study has shown no benefit. China recently approved the use of favipiravir, an antiviral used for influenza, as an experimental therapy for COVID-19. Hydroxychloroquine is a drug with great potential treatment, as it can inhibit the pH-dependent steps of replication of various viruses, with a potent effect on SARS-CoV infection and spread. In this way, the present study will evaluate the safety and efficacy of the hydroxychloroquine in patients with symptomatic SARS-Cov2.
