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.

This feasibility study aims to adapt a protocol usually run in the laboratory in the Psychology Department for healthy participants (including the trauma film paradigm (James et al., 2016) and a simple cognitive task intervention) to remote (online) delivery. The motivation for this was restrictions to running in person laboratory experiments during the COVID-19 pandemic. Participants will view film footage with COVID-19 related and potentially traumatic content (e.g. of seriously ill or dying patients in hospitals). Following film viewing, participants will be randomly allocated to either the experimental condition (simple cognitive task intervention, i.e. a memory cue followed by playing the computer game "Tetris" with mental rotation instructions) or the control condition (attention placebo, i.e., a memory cue followed by listening to a podcast for a similar duration). Any intrusive memories induced by the film (analogue trauma) will be monitored in a daily diary. It is predicted that the film (analogue trauma) will generate intrusive memories. If intrusive memories are generated, then it is predicted that participants in the experimental condition will report fewer intrusive memories related to the film (analogue trauma) during the following week than participants in the control condition. The development of this paradigm may inform the future development of a simple technique to prevent intrusive memories e.g. after repeated media consumption related to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Currently, there are few approved treatments for COVID-19, antiretroviral (remdesivir) and corticoids. With about 15% of COVID-19 patients suffering from severe disease health system will be overwhelmed. Treatments approaches to inhibit viral replication (antiretroviral and extended spectrum antiviral drugs), such as Remdesivir and Hydroxychloroquine are being used. In severe cases, by CT scans investigators are able to observe that these patients seem to be dying with fibrosis and lung vasculitis. It is hypothesised that targeting vasculitis and lung inflammation secondary to the viral infection may help patients' survival (reducing mortality) and/or decrease time in mechanical ventilators. It is proposed a 4-arm trial, converted to 2 after interim analysis (60 patients for the initial phase, sample size recalculation after initial analysis and 2 arms beyond). In initial phase, IL-6 indirect inhibitor (colchicine), in first arm; IL-17 inhibitor, an innovative target never tested (at this moment) in COVID-19 severe patients, in second study arm. Both approaches (indirect IL-6 and Il-17) are related to modulation of inflammatory immune response. Finally, in third arm, IL-2 low dose. This cytokine was identified as Treg upregulation. Treg levels decrease in hepatitis C virus (HCV) associated vasculitis and increase in vasculitis resolution. In fourth arm, control group, standard of care. Initially, for the first 60 included patients, the study will comprise 4 arms (15 patients per arm, randomization ratio 1:1:1:1). An interim effectiveness and safety analysis at this point will guide the selection of one single treatment strategy (adaptative study) to be carried on after that, comparatively with the control group. The multi-site trial planned enrollment duration of 4-6 months and for each participant will be approximately 4 weeks. This trial will bring complementary data to the global effort in COVID-19 cases resolution.

Coronavirus disease (COVID-19) is a pandemic of unprecedented proportions with an exponential increase in incidence. Airway epithelium infection caused by coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2) triggers a cascade of difficult-to-control reactions, a so-called "cytokine storm". In contrast to the previously used method of external beam radiation therapy for patients at high risk of a cytokine storm, in present study a different dose delivery mechanism through inhalation of 99mTc-labeled carbon ultrafine aerosol obtained from a TechnegasPlus generator is used. By utilizing anthropometric phantoms the dosimetric characteristics of the applied technique and obtained the coefficients of the transition from the count rate over the area of interest to the activity contained in this area (in kBq) were studied. By observing a group of healthy volunteers after inhalation of 99mTc-labeled carbon ultrafine aerosol, the accumulated dose in the human lungs under internal irradiation of 99mTc was determined. A novel technique has been developed and the possibility of using inhaled low-dose radionuclide therapy in the complex treatment of patients with COVID-19 - associated pneumonia has been studied. As a result, a significant improvement of hematological parameters in the group of patients after inhalation of 99mTc-labeled carbon ultrafine aerosol as compared to the control group is expected.

GlaxoSmithKline
This is a single-blind, parallel-group, randomized pilot study designed to evaluate and compare the efficacy of 3 different mouthwashes containing 0.2% Chlorhexidine digluconate, 1.5% Hydroxide peroxide or Cetylpyridinium chloride in reducing Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) viral load in the saliva of COVID-19 positive patients at different time-points. A convenient sample of up to 40 COVID-19 positive patients diagnosed via test and/or presenting COVID-19 clinical symptoms will be identified in the inpatients and/or outpatient clinics at the Newham University Hospital and at The Royal London Hospital, Barts Health National Health Service (NHS) Trust, United Kingdom (UK). The study will consist of one visit. Unstimulated saliva samples will be collected from all COVID-19 positive patients before and at 30 minutes, 1, 2, and 3 hours after mouth rinsing (Group 1-3 ) or no rinsing (Group 4). Viral load analysis of saliva samples in the different time-points will be then assessed by Reverse Transcription quantitative PCR (RT- qPCR).
