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.

Compassionate Use requests will be considered for individuals who test positive for SARS-CoV-2 and where there is reasonable basis to believe that the patient is infected with a susceptible variant.
Larkin Community Hospital
The purpose of this study is to assess the efficacy of Xylitol plus Grapefruit Seed Extract (Xlear) nasal spray as an adjunct treatment of COVID-19.
RedHill Biopharma Limited
A 2-part, multicenter, Phase 2/3, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, parallel group study to evaluate the safety and efficacy of upamostat in adult patients with COVID-19 disease who do not require inpatient care.
Asan Medical Center
This clinical trial aims to determine if fluvoxamine, a selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor with high affinity for the sigma-1 receptor, can be used in mild to moderate COVID-19 to prevent the progression to severe COVID-19. Fluvoxamine is an anti-depressant drug approved by the FDA for the treatment of obsessive-compulsive disorder and has a potential for immune modulation as a sigma-1 receptor agonist. The investigational use of fluvoxamine for the treatment of COVID-19 is approved by the South Korean Ministry of Food and Drug Safety. This study is performed fully-remotely at COVID-19 community treatment centers, temporary facilities in Seoul, Korea, to accommodate and monitor asymptomatic to moderately symptomatic case-patients who do not require hospital admission.

Background: Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) has affected almost every country in the world, especially in terms of health system capacity and economic burden. People from sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) often face interaction between human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection and non-communicable diseases such as cardiovascular disease. Role of HIV infection and anti-retroviral treatment (ART) in altered cardiovascular risk is questionable and there is still need to further carry out research in this field. However, thus far it is unclear, what impact the COVID-19 co-infection in people living with HIV (PLHIV), with or without therapy will have. The ENDOCOVID project aims to investigate whether and how HIV-infection in COVID-19 patients modulates the time course of the disease, alters cardiovascular risk, and changes vascular endothelial function and coagulation parameters/ thrombosis risk. Methods: In this long-term study, cardiovascular research on PLHIV with or without ART with COVID-19 and HIV-negative with COVID-19 will be carried out via clinical and biochemical measurements for cardiovascular risk factors and biomarkers of cardiovascular disease (CVD). Vascular and endothelial function will be measured by brachial artery flow-mediated dilatation (FMD), carotid intima-media thickness (IMT) assessments, and retinal blood vessel analyses, along with vascular endothelial biomarkers and coagualation markers. The correlation between HIV-infection in COVID-19 PLHIV with or without ART and its role in enhancement of cardiovascular risk and endothelial dysfunction will be assessed. Potential changes in these endpoints by COVID-19 will be followed for 4 weeks across the three groups (PLHIVwith or without ART and HIV negatives). Impact of project: The ENDOCOVID project aims to evaluate in the long-term the cardiovascular risk and vascular endothelial function in PLHIV thus revealing an important transitional cardiovascular phenotype in COVID-19.

Patients who are critically ill in intensive care with moderate to severe acute respiratory infection often require mechanical ventilation. Prolonged ventilation increases the risk of lung damage and other side effects as a result of long term use of sedation medications. Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation therapy (ECMO), is a relatively new technology that uses a pump to remove blood from the body and return it back to the body after adding oxygen and removing carbon dioxide. ECMO can be used on patients who require mechanical ventilation and can function without the need for ongoing mechanical ventilation, thus reducing risk of side effects. Participants will be randomised into either the early ECMO therapy group or will continue standard treatment involving mechanical ventilation. This pilot study aims to determine if a phase 3 Randomised Control Trial (RCT) is feasible for the use of early ECMO therapy to treat patients with Severe Acute Respiratory Infection (SARI). The success of the study will be determined by the successful recruitment of adult patients, that there is a difference between ECMO utilisation between groups and that there are no safety issues.

To assess the impact of a muscle-targeted nutritional therapy consisting of nutritional counseling and high-quality whey protein-based oral nutritional supplements enriched with leucine and vitamin D, on the recovery of post-COVID-19 patients

During the Corona Virus Pandemic health care resources have become scare, and the pandemic has brought forth the need for risk stratification of patients suffering from COVID19 in order to allocate resources appropriately. One of scarcest resources is Intensive Care treatment, mostly related to the need for invasive ventilation or for (post) cardiac arrest care. To identify patients for whom ICU-treatment is most successful and those for whom it would be futile, would allow for installing appropriate advanced care directives for escalation or limitation of treatment.

The aim of this study is to investigate efficacy of internet based pulmonary rehabilitation and progressive muscle relaxation program on functional capacity, depression and anxiety, dyspnea, fatigue, sleep quality and quality of life in covid19 patients after hospital discharge
SolAeroMed Inc.
This is a randomized, open-label, controlled, Phase II proof of concept study to evaluate the safety, tolerability and efficacy of S-1226 in which hospitalized subjects (n≤30) with moderate severity COVID-19 Bronchiolitis/Pneumonia will be enrolled. The safety and tolerability of S-1226 composed of PFOB with ascending doses of carbon dioxide (4%, 8%, and 12% CO2) administered twice daily will be assessed subjects in hospitalized subjects with moderate severity COVID-19 Bronchiolitis/Pneumonia.
