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.

The cytokine storms mediated by over production of proinflammatory cytokines have been observed in a large population of critically ill patients infected with COVID-19. Patients diagnosed with cytokine storms progress to cardiovascular collapse, multiple organ dysfunction and death rapidly. Therefore, early identification, treatment and prevention of the cytokine storms are of crucial importance for the patients. Immuomedulator such as interleukin-6 (IL-6) antagonist, emerged as an alternative treatment for COVID-19 patients with a risk of cytokine storms recently. In this study, we aimed to evaluate the safety and efficacy of anti-IL6 alone vs anti-IL6 corticosteroid combination in patients with COVID-19 pneumonia

COVID-19 morbidity and mortality has been associated with Cytokine Release Syndrome (CRS) and Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome (ARDS). ATI-450 is an oral small molecule MAPKAPK2 (MK2) inhibitor that potently inhibits multiple inflammatory cytokines. The investigator hypothesizes that MK2 pathway blockade during active COVID-19 infection in hospitalized participants will result in improvement in respiratory-failure free survival.

The COVID-19 pandemic is of grave concern due its impact on human health and on the economy. Propolis, a natural resin produced by bees from plant materials, has anti-inflammatory, immunomodulatory, anti-oxidant properties, and various aspects of the SARS-CoV-2 infection mechanism are potential targets for propolis compounds. Propolis components have inhibitory effects on the ACE2, TMPRSS2 and PAK1 signaling pathways; in addition, antiviral activity has been proven in vitro and in vivo. This is a pilot randomized study that aims to assess the impact of using Brazilian green propolis extract against the deleterious effects of the new coronavirus.

Introduction: The SARS-CoV-2 outbreak has left more than two million infected worldwide in the first four months of COVID-19 epidemic. To date, there is no specific treatment for the disease and in critically ill patients there is an additional challenge in controlling the systemic inflammatory response, which is characterized by cytokine storm, alteration in coagulation and endothelial activation in addition to infection. Strategies used in previous viral epidemics, such as convalescent plasma, are therapeutic options to rescue, especially in individuals with a critical presentation of the disease. Aim: To establish clinical response of critically ill patients with COVID-19 who received convalescent plasma from subjects recovered from SARS-CoV-2 during their stay in Intensive Care Unit at Fundación Cardiovascular de Colombia (Hospital Internacional de Colombia). Methodology: Quasi-experimental study (no randomization will be performed). Adult patients who meet selection criteria will receive 500 ml of ABO compatible convalescent plasma, obtained by apheresis from patients recovered from SARS-CoV-2 infection. The main outcome will be in-hospital mortality at 30 days, while indication for ventilatory support (intubation) and adverse events at thirty days will be evaluated as secondary outcomes, compared to subjects receiving usual treatment for clinical sign and symptoms given the absence of ABO compatible plasma units. A survival analysis will be performed using Kaplan-Meier method and association strength will be reported using HR and 95% CI crude and adjusted for confounding variables. Expected results: It is expected to know the clinical and paraclinical response of patients receiving convalescent plasma in our institution, as well as to establish their probability of survival and its associated factors.

Problem: The COVID- 19 pandemic has not only affected our healthcare system, but the impact on the worldwide financial systems and our "normal" way of life is still to be determined. Although the percentage of patients infected with COVID-19 that need hospital care is low, Its high rate of contagiousness makes the total number of patients in need of hospital care cripple any healthcare system, limiting the space available for other patients in need of critical care, who cannot be admitted or even prefer not to attend the hospital in fear of infection. Early investigations report an Increase risk of thromboembolic complications, and a systemic inflammatory response not clearly understood. There is a possible vascular endothelial dysfunction due to chronic comorbidities (Hypertension, diabetes, obesity, chronic kidney disease, lung disease) as a risk factor for a more severe presentation. Justification: Sulodexide is a two-compound drug, each of them with different endothelial action that can be beneficial in COVID-19 patients. Glycosaminoglycans: Can help restore venous and arterial endothelial glycocalyx which can downregulate or limit the response to inflammatory molecules, by maintaining the integrity lost in certain chronic diseases (high blood pressure, diabetes). Heparin compound: It has an antithrombotic effect that could help reduce the incidence of thromboembolic complications, and also add to the anti-inflammatory response due to it anti-thrombin action (similar or a bit less to that of low molecular weight heparin) with less risk of major bleeding. It's a medication that can be used orally with minimal adverse effects and is less expensive than low molecular weight heparin. Hypothesis: We hypothesize that sulodexide instituted early in populations at significant risk and symptomatic patients affected with COVID-19 (shortness of breath, fever, weakness, diarrhoea) and risk factors of diabetes, hypertension, COPD, atherosclerosis, chronic kidney disease, will provide improvement in endothelial integrity, decrease inflammatory responses, and improved clinical outcomes with decreased hospital admission, decrease VTE and arterial complications, morbidity, and mortality. Objective: To use sulodexide in patients that have early onset of COVID-19 symptoms to mitigate the progression of the disease process that can allow them to recover at home, and limit the need of hospital care and a more severe clinical manifestation
