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.

A prospective, controlled, randomized, multicenter study whose goal is to compare the efficacy of an autophagy inhibitor (GNS561), an anti-NKG2A (monalizumab) and an anti-C5aR (avdoralimab) versus standard of care in patients with advanced or metastatic cancer who have Sars-CoV-2 infection not eligible to a resuscitation unit. According to their severity level at the time of enrolment, eligible patients will be randomized into 2 different cohorts: - COHORT 1 (mild symptoms or asymptomatic): GNS561 vs anti-NKG2A vs standard of care (randomization ratio 1:1:1). - COHORT 2 (moderate/severe symptoms): anti-C5aR vs standard of care (randomization ratio 1:1).

The aim of the study is to evaluate whether the therapy with chloroquine phosphate (CQ, in combination with telemedical approach) in addition to standard care is effective and safe in reducing composite endpoint of COVID-19-related hospitalization or all cause death, in ambulatory patients with SARS-SoV-2 infection at particular risk of serious complications due to advanced age and/or comorbid conditions (in comparison with subjects not treated with CQ but receiving standard care and supervised telemedically).

To evaluate the efficacy of a single dose of subcutaneous injections of 180 ug of Peginterferon Lambda-1a, compared with placebo in reducing the duration of viral shedding of SARS-CoV-2 virus in patients with uncomplicated COVID-19 disease.

Coronavirus disease-2019 (COVID-19) has a quoted inpatient mortality as high as 25%. This high mortality may be driven by hyperinflammation resembling cytokine release syndrome (CRS), offering the hope that therapies targeting the interleukin-6 (IL-6) axis therapies commonly used to treat CRS can be used to reduce COVID-19 mortality. Retrospective analysis of severe to critical COVID-19 patients receiving tocilizumab demonstrated that the majority of patients had rapid resolution (i.e., within 24-72 hours following administration) of both clinical and biochemical signs (fever and CRP, respectively) of hyperinflammation with only a single tocilizumab dose. Hypotheses: 1. Tocilizumab is effective in decreasing signs, symptoms, and laboratory evidence of COVID-19 pneumonitis in hospitalized, non-critically ill patients with clinical risk factors for clinical decompensation, intensive care utilization, and death. 2. Low-dose tocilizumab is effective in decreasing signs, symptoms, and laboratory evidence of COVID-19 pneumonitis in hospitalized, non-critically ill patients with and without clinical risk factors for clinical decompensation, intensive care utilization, and death. Objectives: 1. To establish proof of concept that tocilizumab is effective in decreasing signs, symptoms, and laboratory evidence of COVID-19 pneumonitis in hospitalized, non-critically ill patients with clinical risk factors for clinical decompensation, intensive care utilization, and death, as determined by the clinical outcome of resolution of fever and the biochemical outcome measures of time to CRP normalization for the individual patient and the rate of patients whose CRP normalize. 2. To establish proof of concept that low-dose tocilizumab is effective in decreasing signs, symptoms, and laboratory evidence of COVID-19 pneumonitis in hospitalized, non-critically ill patients without clinical risk factors for clinical decompensation, intensive care utilization, and death, as determined by the clinical outcome of resolution of fever and the biochemical outcome measures of time to CRP normalization for the individual patient and the rate of patients whose CRP normalize.

The investigators aim to evaluate the efficacy of pre-exposure prophylaxis with hydroxychloroquine in healthcare workers with high-risk of SARS-CoV-2 infection.

Convalescent plasma (CP) has been used in recent years as an empirical treatment strategy when there is no vaccine or treatment available for infectious diseases. In the latest viral epidemics, such as the Ebola outbreak in West Africa in 2014, the World Health Organization issued a document outlining a protocol for the use of whole blood or plasma collected from patients who have recovered from the Ebola virus disease by transfusion to empirically treat local infectious outbreaks.

This study will compare two drugs (hydroxychloroquine and azithromycin) to see if hydroxychloroquine is better than azithromycin in treating hospitalized patients with suspected or confirmed COVID-19.

According to In vitro studies, ciclesonide showed good antiviral activity against severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). Although some cases were reported for the clinical effectiveness of ciclesonide in the treatment of COVID-19, there is no clinical trial to evaluate the antiviral effect on the reduction of viral load in patients with COVID-19. In this study, we aimed to investigate whether ciclesonide inhalation could eradicate SARS-CoV-2 compared to standard supportive care in patients with mild COVID-19.

The purpose of this study is to test the safety and effectiveness of individually or simultaneously blocking IL-6 and IL-1 versus standard of care on blood oxygenation and systemic cytokine release syndrome in patients with COVID-19 coronavirus infection and acute hypoxic respiratory failure and systemic cytokine release syndrome

This is a clinical study for the prevention of SARS-CoV-2 infection in adults exposed to the virus. This study will enroll up to 2000 asymptomatic men and women 18 to 80 years of age (inclusive) who are close contacts of persons with laboratory confirmed SARS-CoV-2 or clinically suspected COVID-19. Eligible participants will be enrolled and randomized to receive the intervention or placebo at the level of the household (all eligible participants in one household will receive the same intervention).
