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 pandemic caused by SARS-CoV-2 is a global emergency present in 6 continents including 66 countries, incurring a shortage of effective and safe therapeutic alternatives that can contribute to reducing the risk of contamination, as well as helping to reduce the viral load of the positive patient. This requires a coordinated, effective and immediate action on the part of governments, companies, academic entities and even at the individual level. In the search for new therapeutic and prevention alternatives, the application of hypochlorous acid (HClO) to the nasal mucosa is proposed, a broad-spectrum and fast-acting antimicrobial solution, whose safety has been proven in preclinical trials. The efficacy of HClO has been tested against enveloped and non-enveloped viruses, reducing virus particles without affecting human cells. This solution could contribute to reducing the viral load and the risk of contamination of patients and professionals. This could have an impact on controlling the COVID-19 pandemic.

This is a Phase 2/3, randomized, multicenter, double-blind, dose-response study to evaluate the safety, immunogenicity, and efficacy of UB 612 in 2 age groups, adults 18 to 59 and ≥60 years of age with or without comorbidities.

Neurologic, neuropsychological and neuropsychiatric symptoms, signs and diagnoses are increasingly being reported in COVID-19 patients. However, the extent and implications of such "NeuroCOVID" involvement, as well as blood and MRI biomarkers for neurological and psychiatric COVID-19-affection and treatments, warrants further studies. The investigator will perform a national study with clinical and biomarker assessments of NeuroCOVID in approximately 150 Norwegian patients, recruited from ongoing COVID-studies in Norway as well as from neurological departments in Norway. The investigator will define the burden of neurological, psychological and psychiatric complications of COVID-19 disease and identify clinical characteristics and biomarkers for both short- and long-term neurological treatment and rehabilitation. Blood samples for biomarker analyses, brain MRI, clinical neurological, neurophysiological and neuropsychological assessments will be performed at 6 and 12 moths after acute disease,

With the recent worldwide outbreak of the COVID-19 infection and the huge impact it has had upon lives in the UK, it is key to increase knowledge on the impact of the virus on the body. Certain aspects of the virus' characteristics are also poorly understood: The reason behind the variation in response between individuals, and the long-term impacts of infection upon the body. It is already known from previous research that muscle-health plays an important role in health, with other illnesses known to have an impact upon muscle health. A large number of studies have investigated the relationship between muscle and health, with an increasing focus upon the impact upon the mitochondria within the muscle cells. Mitochondria are the energy-producing component of a cell and are vital not just for the muscle-cells but for the body as a whole. The researchers hope that by investigating the impact of COVID-19 infection upon human skeletal muscle, the question of why individuals have different responses to the infection and the mechanism of the longer-term impact of infection can be answered. This added knowledge will then, hopefully, be able to guide therapy targets in the future.

We hypothesize that recovered COVID-19 patients suffer long term cardiovascular and pulmonary complications, which can be detected by point of care ultrasound. The goal is to comprehensively delineate the long term cardiovascular and pulmonary ultrasound findings in recovered COVID-19 patients, identify risks factors for prolonged heart/lung injury, evaluate long term effects of applied treatment, and assess late medication/vaccine side effects in COVID-19 patients.

In order to prevent reinfection, it is needed to detect the cellular-mediated immune response to the Sars-CoV-2 infection. The first goal of this study will be to detect the cellular-mediated immune response in patients affected by COVID-19 (with or without vaccination) and healthy subjects who undergone vaccination program. The second goal of this study will be to identify the genetic and epigenetic biomarkers that influence individual immunological response and clinical evolution to the severe manifestations of the COVID-19.

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.
