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 negative global consequences of the COVID-19 pandemic has prompted efforts to develop efficient laboratory testing protocols that can be quickly scaled in a practical way. Traditional phlebotomy requirements for antibody testing (venipuncture) often serve as a barrier to widespread population testing since they typically require dedicated facilities and personnel training. Conversely, antibodies are typically very stable in blood and require very little testing volume, which make antibody tests well suited to be run on samples collected via finger-stick, saliva, or other self-administered collection devices. Salveo Diagnostics is a CLIA/CAP certified clinical laboratory that routinely performs testing for anti-SARS-Cov-2 antibodies. The purposes of this protocol are to 1) assess the feasibility of streamlined sample collection procedures for assessing COVID-related immune status, and 2) to provide a mechanism for securing sequential samples in COVID positive and negative patients to support additional studies (e.g. investigating timing of anti-SARS-CoV-2 antibody class switching and antibody persistence).

Brazil has the Latin America's largest coronavirus outbreak, numbers second only to the United States in the western hemisphere. The first COVID-19 confirmed case in Brazil was on February of 2020. A 61yrs old man tested positive after returning from a trip to Italy. Few other very first cases were also imported from Europe by returning travelers. The first locally transmitted case was registered on March of 2020, when a total of 8 cases have already been confirmed. At the time the WHO declares the outbreak as a pandemic (March 11) Brazil had 52 confirmed cases being 6 of those locally transmitted. Healthcare professionals are now more important than ever. Given the intrinsic nature of the hands-on treatment of the Chiropractic profession, it is extremely important to understand what strategies chiropractors have put in place to address patient care, safety, and self report COVID contamination of those professionals.
University Hospital, Akershus
A multicenter prospective cohort study performed at 6 major teaching hospitals in Southern Norway to study patient reported outcomes, lung function and pulmonary CT in patients at 3 and 12 months after hospitalization for coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19).
National Cancer Institute (NCI)
This phase I/II trial investigates the best dose and side effects of leflunomide and how well it works in treating patients with COVID-19 and a past or present cancer. Leflunomide has been used since the 1990s as a treatment for rheumatoid arthritis. Experiments done with human cells that were given severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), the virus causing COVID-19, showed that leflunomide was able to reduce the ability of the virus to make copies of itself. The coronavirus uses ribonucleic acid (RNA), a very long molecule that contains genetic information that is like a blueprint for making more copies of itself. Leflunomide inhibits the formation of RNA. The information gained from this study may help researchers to learn whether leflunomide is safe for use in treating patients with COVID-19, and whether it is potentially effective against the disease.
West Virginia University
Our overarching goal is to improve the outcomes of critically ill COVID-19 patients with or at risk for development of acute kidney injury (AKI). The objective of this study is to determine the role of a protocol to manage urine alkalization using a simple medication that has been used for a very long time, is safe, and without significant side-effects. We aim to determine the feasibility and safety of a urine alkalinization protocol for the prevention of AKI in patients testing positive for COVID-19.

Randomized, double-blind (blinded for the trial subject and the study physician), placebo controlled, multi-center clinical trial in parallel assignment of efficacy, immunogenicity, and safety of the Gam-COVID-Vac combined vector vaccine against the SARS-CoV-2-induced coronavirus infection in adults in the SARS-СoV-2 infection prophylactic treatment.
UR17DN02 : Autoimmune Diseases Research Unit
An observational study aiming to assess the serological profile of SARS-Cov2 patients with systemic diseases such as systemic lupus erythematosus, Sjogren syndrome, sarcoidosis, inflammatory myopathies, Behçet's disease, Rheumatoid arthritis and Spondyloarthritis
Assiut University
To evaluate the role of N terminal pro B type natriuretic peptide (NTproBNP), D-Dimer, and Troponin - I as risk factors in COVID-19 patients and to correlate these markers with in-hospital death in patients with COVID-19

The COVID virus is acquired through droplet and micro droplet transmission. Although healthcare workers must adhere to strict up-to-date clinical procedures to minimize exposure to the virus and avoid contamination, the assumption that everyone can precisely remember every step is improbable as many of these procedures are quite complex and involve multiple steps in stressful situations. Further the use of a trained safety officer to ensure adherence is not always feasible due to the ever growing demand of healthcare providers. Investigators propose to utilize the Amazon Alexa device and Alexa Skills application to develop a voice enabled virtual assistant to guide healthcare professionals through the exact steps of clinical procedures including the donning and doffing of PPE, intubation and extubation procedures. Methods A total of 10 staff anesthesiologists will be recruited to participate in phase 1 of the study to evaluate the utility and functionality of this VA device. A total of 40 healthcare professionals will be recruited to participate in phase 2 of the study. Anesthesia providers (staff and fellows), anesthesia assistants, respiratory assistants and operating room nurses will be randomized to receive instructional guidance by the VA on one test occasion and a human coach on another occasion. During this phase of the study, the effectiveness of this VA prototype will be compared with a trained human safety officer / coach in its ability to provide instructional guidance for 4 safety and clinical procedures: 1) proper donning of personal protective equipment (PPE); 2) doffing of PPE; 3) intubation (putting in a breathing tube) and 4) extubation (taking out a breathing tube).
