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.

Hope Biosciences is conducting a research study of an investigational product called autologous adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cells (abbreviated as HB-adMSCs) to provide immune support against COVID-19. The study purpose is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of five IV infusions of HB-adMSCs in subjects with no signs of COVID-19.

The 2019-20 coronavirus disease, caused by COVID-19, is an ongoing pandemic. The measures in which public health officials quarantine confirmed and isolate symptomatic cases in order to reduce the spread COVID-19 is the common practice used in most countries. However, a significant question remains in regards to the asymptomatically infected individuals, which may propagate the virus and impede infection control. The other question to consider is whether these asymptomatic carriers develop an immune response or continue viral shedding. The purpose of the current study is the evaluate the immune response, i.e developing anti-SARS-CoV-2 antibodies in the asymptomatic cases, in a household study design. We plan to evaluate over 1000 patients with positive COVID-19 results and their households.
Medical University of Graz
The aim of our study is to observe the intensive care course in 30-50 COVID-19 patients with regard to cardiovascular risk factors and biomarkers. The primary objective of this study is to investigate the cardiovascular risk and its impact on cardiovascular complications in COVID-19 patients in intensive care units. This study is designed to investigate correlations and to investigate factors influencing the course of the new viral disease COVID-19 in intensive care. Previous scientific findings are still rare due to the relevance of the disease, therefore this study is also explorative and not exclusively based on a hypothesis. The cardiovascular risk will be assessed upon admission to the intensive care unit and subsequently the course of biomarkers (see below) will be analysed in a cohort study (no, low and high cardiovascular risk).
Hôpital Universitaire Fattouma Bourguiba
A previous study showed a high incidence of ventilator-associated pneumonia to multidrug resistant pathogens in our ICU. That has been related to lack of compliance to hand hygiene among health care providers in ou ICU.
University Hospital Plymouth NHS Trust
This observational study is designed to assess whether focused lung ultrasound examination can improve the diagnosis of COVID-19 lung disease and/or make an alternative diagnosis at a patient's initial hospital presentation. For patients with confirmed COVID-19 the study will also assess whether surveillance lung ultrasound examination can predict clinical outcome over the course of their hospital admission.
Humanigen, Inc.
The primary objective of this study is to assess whether the use of lenzilumab in addition to current standard of care can alleviate the immune-mediated cytokine release syndrome (CRS) and improve ventilator-free survival in hospitalized subjects with severe or critical COVID-19 pneumonia.
Ain Shams University
Phase III Placebo-controlled adaptive multi-centre randomized controlled trial Interventional (Clinical Trial). The study will include nine hundred healthcare workers in the isolation hospitals for COVID-19 cases; they will be randomly assigned to receive either BCG vaccine or normal saline.
Vivek Reddy
The objective of the study is to assess the impact of remote cardiac and vital sign monitoring in patients with coronavirus disease (COVID-19) in the outpatient setting.

The present Diagnostic Accuracy study aims at experimentally validating the use of a rapid salivary test to detect SARS-CoV-2 infection in both symptomatic and asymptomatic individuals as a preliminary approach to a mass screening program. The study is based on a consecutive recruitment of both patients showing symptoms probably associated with COVID-19 (i.e., cough, dyspnea, fever) and asymptomatic patients with a low risk phenotype. The expected number of recruited individuals is 100. The experimental test is a prototype of salivary test based on the Lateral Flow Immunoassay technique and is able to detect the presence of SARS-CoV-2 in saliva, especially the Spike protein (S). The comparison is represented by the nasopharyngeal swab, the gold standard of COVID-19 diagnosis. Patients will undergo both salivary immunoassay and nasopharyngeal swab, thus the outcome assessors are blinded, since the results of the rRT-PCR analysis require at least 6 hours before being available. The main outcomes are sensibility and specificity of the rapid salivary test, when compared with the gold standard (nasopharyngeal swab).
