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 aim of the present study is to examine whether cerebral oxygenation could be a more useful parameter than peripheral oxygen saturation to guide clinical titration of permissive hypoxemia in COVID-19 ARDS patients

Infection with the SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus (COVID-19) has recently been identified as a pandemic due to the speed and global scale of its transmission. In Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region (AURA), the epidemic began in February 2020 and the number of infected people is still important. Between 15 and 20% of COVID-19 patients develop an acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) leading to their hospitalization in intensive care. Their clinical progression can be rapidly harmful with the development of severe ARDS associated with an increased risk of death. Preliminary data on the immune response of COVID-19 patients describe the induction of a moderate inflammatory response and the occurrence of major progressive lymphopenia over time associated with potential immunosuppression. Up to 50% of secondary infections are reported in deceased COVID-19 patients. However, no prospective study has exhaustively described the kinetics of the immune response of COVID-19 patients in intensive care. The precise description of the immune response over time in adult patients with a proven infection with the SARS-CoV-2 virus and the study of the relation between this response and the increased risk of organ failure (severe ARDS), death or nosocomial infection will allow us to better understand the pathophysiology of the immune response induced by COVID-19 in order to (i) identify new therapeutic strategies targeting the host response in patients in intensive care (ii) to develop biological markers to stratify patients for future clinical trials evaluating these immunoadjuvant treatments in COVID-19.
Institut National de la Santé Et de la Recherche Médicale, France
This study aims to quantify and follow the cumulative incidence of SARS-CoV-2 infection in the French population using serological tests and to assess the determinants of infection from Constances, E3N-E4N, ELFE-Epipage 2 and NutriNet-Santé cohorts.
National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID)
This study aims to address the following objectives: 1. To determine the efficacy of IC14, an anti-CD14 chimeric monoclonal antibody, in patients hospitalized with respiratory disease and hypoxemia due to SARS-CoV-2, in terms of improving the time to resolution of disease. 2. To determine the efficacy of IC14 in reducing the severity of respiratory disease in patients hospitalized with respiratory disease due to SARS-CoV-2. 3. To determine the safety of IC14 in patients hospitalized with respiratory disease due to SARS-CoV-2.

This clinical trial will examine if a new treatment of Mesenchymal-like Adherent stromal Cells (called PLX-PAD) can help patients intubated and mechanically ventilated due to COVID-19 to recover more quickly with less complications.

This is a double-blinded, randomized control trial to assess the efficacy and safety of anti-SARS-CoV-2 convalescent plasma as early treatment. Participants will be randomized 2:1 to receive either convalescent plasma qualitatively positive for SARS-CoV-2 antibody ("anti-SARS-CoV-2 plasma") or control (albumin 5%). This study will investigate the potential of convalescent plasma (CP) to reduce severity of and/or help treat SARS-CoV-2 disease in patients with mild disease.

Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) pandemic has caused mass mortality in the last 3 months that necessitates urgent development of new therapeutical agents. So far there is no effective anti-viral drug to reduce viral load that has critical importance to prevent progress into severe viral pneumonia and systemic hyper inflammation state. This project is to offer a biologic agent based on T cell derived exosomes. This is a novel approach using our proprietary protocols for drug development. This clinical trial is to test the safety and efficacy of this new agent following targeted delivery by metered dose inhaler. The project have received proper approvals from the Turkish Ministry of Health and Erciyes University, Kayseri Turkey. Turk-Patent Application Number: PCT/TR2020/050302

There is surge in COVID infected patients in New York City with a shortage of hospital beds, ICU beds and ventilators. Strategies to reduce the need for all of the above are immediately needed. Further, few interventions are targeted in COVID infected patients early in the course of their disease and especially in the community/home settings. Respiratory decompensation appears to occur later in the disease process (i.e. 7-10 days after becoming symptomatic) therefore many patients are sent home from the Emergency Room and they subsequently decompensate later at home. Some patients die at home and others are returning to the Emergency Room with hypoxemic respiratory failure. There is no treatment offered to this population of patients, i.e. COVID suspected or confirmed and with respiratory symptoms or abnormal chest x-ray at the time of presentation. Based on experience across the globe, these patients are likely to worsen at home. The study team therefore proposes a prospective, single-center, parallel group, open-label, randomized clinical trial to assess the efficacy of fixed low continuous positive airway pressure therapy (CPAP) (FDA approved and often used for treatment of sleep apnea) in COVID confirmed or suspected patients with abnormal chest x-ray or respiratory symptoms who do not require hospital admission and are discharged home from the emergency room.
National Cancer Institute (NCI)
This study collects blood samples, medical information, and medical images from patients who are being treated for cancer and have a positive test for SARS CoV-2, the new coronavirus that causes the disease called COVID-19. Collecting blood samples, medical information, and medical images may help researchers determine how COVID-19 affects the outcomes of patients undergoing cancer treatment and how having cancer affects COVID-19.

This is a multicenter double blinded study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of convalescent plasma from COVID-19 recovered individuals to treat hospitalized patients with severe COVID-19 disease. The study will enroll 410 subjects who will be randomized 1:1 to receive convalescent plasma or normal saline solution in a blinded manner. The primary endpoint will be improvement on the 8 point WHO scale over 28 days. Mortality at day 28 will be a secondary endpoint. An interim analysis will be done when 224 patients have completed their follow up to assess safety and to indicate continuation or stopping of the study, based on safety and efficacy observed.
