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 objective of this study is to provide remote mindfulness session(s) to help during the COVID-19 pandemic.

This study is expected to provide, for the first time, data on Cov2-SARS circulation in asymptomatic children and children with moderate respiratory symptoms in order to construct the severity pyramid of this novel pathogen. This information will be essential in the coming weeks to understand the dynamics of the transmission of this pathogen at the population level and to highlight the relevance of public health interventions, particularly with regard to the systematic closure of schools and childcare facilities.

Triple blinded, phase III randomized controlled trial with parallel groups (200mg of hydroxychloroquine per day vs. placebo) aiming to prove hydroxychloroquine's security and efficacy as prophylaxis treatment for healthcare personnel exposed to COVID-19 patients.
National Cancer Institute, Naples
This study project includes a single-arm phase 2 study and a parallel cohort study, enrolling patients with COVID-19 pneumonia.
University Hospital, Akershus
In the current proposal, the investigators aim to investigate the virological and clinical effects of chloroquine treatment in patients with established COVID-19 in need of hospital admission. Patients will be randomized in a 1:1 fashion to standard of care or standard of care with the addition of therapy with chloroquine.

DisCoVeRy is a randomized controlled trial among adults (≥18-year-old) hospitalized for COVID-19. This study is an adaptive, randomized, open or blinded, depending on the drug to be evaluated, clinical trial to evaluate the safety and efficacy of possible therapeutic agents in hospitalized adult patients diagnosed with COVID-19. The study is a multi-centre/country trial that will be conducted in various sites in Europe with Inserm as sponsor. The study will compare different investigational therapeutic agents to a control group managed with the SoC including corticosteroids and anticoagulants. There will be interim monitoring to allow early stopping for safety and to introduce new therapies as they become available. If one therapy proves to be superior to others in the trial, this treatment may become part of the SoC for comparison(s) with new experimental treatment(s). In previous versions of the DisCoVeRy protocol, remdesivir, lopinavir/ritonavir with or without interferon ß-1a and hydroxychloroquine were evaluated as potential treatments for COVID-19. These treatments have been discontinued based on analyses review by both DSMC/DSMB, the Solidarity Executive Group and the DisCoVeRy steering committee. This version of the protocol, therefore, describes a randomized blinded placebo-controlled trial among adults (≥18-year-old) hospitalized for COVID-19 that randomly allocates them (1:1 ratio) between 2 arms: SoC + placebo versus SoC + AZD7442. Randomization will be stratified by region (according to the administrative definition in each country), antigenic status (positive or negative) obtained from the result of a rapid antigen test on nasopharyngeal swab performed at enrolment and vaccination initiation (yes or no). The primary analyses will be conducted on patients with antigen-positive results. A positive antigenic test is evidence of high viral shedding consistent with a recently started or uncontrolled infection. Overall, the number of antigen-negative patients will be at most 30% of all included subjects. The number of patients with vaccination (partly or fully) will be limited to 20% of all participants, split evenly between antigen positive and antigen negative patients (i.e. vaccinated patients can make up at most 20% of antigene positive patients and 20% of antigene negative patients). Sensitivity analyses will be performed in all patients, stratified by antigenic status and vaccination initiation. A global independent data and safety monitoring board (DSMB) monitors interim data to make recommendations about early study closure or changes to conduct, including adding or removing treatment arms. However, the current version of the protocol does not allow for efficacy or futility analysis, and the ability to add trial arms will be limited by the study being blinded and placebo-controlled during the investigation of AZD7442.

The novel identified coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2) in 2019 causes an nationwide outbreak as well as public health crisis in China, and expands globally. Pulmonary edema is one of the most detrimental symptoms and usually presents in severe and critical coronavirus disease (COVID-19), resulting in dyspnea, acute lung injury (ALI) ,acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), and even death. Recent evidence revealed higher levels of blood Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor (VEGF) in COVID-19 patients compared with healthy controls. VEGF is considered as the most potent vascular permeability inducers. Numerous studies have revealed that VEGF was a key factor and a potential therapeutic target in ALI and ARDS. Bevacizumab, an anti-VEGF drug, approved by the FDA on February 26, 2004 and widely used in clinical oncotherapy, is a promising drug for ALI/ARDS in COVID-19 through suppression of pulmonary edema.
