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.

More than 17 million people have been infected and more than 677K lives have been lost since the COVID-19 pandemic. Unfortunately, there is neither an effective treatment nor is there a vaccination for this deadly virus. The moderate to severe COVID-19 patients suffer acute lung injury and need oxygen therapy, and even ventilators, to help them breathe. When a person gets a viral infection, certain body cells (inflammatory/immune cells) get activated and release a wide range of small molecules, also known as cytokines, to help combat the virus. But it is possible for the body to overreact to the virus and release an overabundance of cytokines, forming what is known as a "cytokine storm". When a cytokine storm is formed, these cytokines cause more damage to their own cells than to the invading COVID-19 that they're trying to fight. Recently, doctors and research scientists are becoming increasingly convinced that, in some cases, this is likely what is happening in the moderate to severe COVID-19 patients. The cytokine storm may be contributing to respiratory failure, which is the leading cause of mortality for severe COVID-19 patients. Therefore, being able to control the formation of cytokine storms will also help alleviate the symptoms and aid in the recovery of severe COVID-19 patients.

This study will collect information on immune response and adverse events after vaccination against coronavirus disease (COVID-19) in a vulnerable patient cohort. Understanding the ability or disability to mount a protective immune response after vaccination will help to counsel patients during the pandemic and support decisions on whom to vaccinate and to identify patients who require other measures to protect them from COVID-19.

This is a randomized, single blind, study. Males and females meeting inclusion criteria who have symptoms of mild COVID-19 and in whom a positive PCR result for SARS-CoV-2 is obtained may be enrolled to the study treatment within 72 hours of the positive PCR result. Eligible patients are those considered to be at high risk for COVID-19 disease progression. This includes patients ≥ 65 years of age or with any one or more of certain medical conditions including: cancer, COPD, cardiovascular disease, immunocompromised state resulting from solid organ transplant, obesity, sickle cell disease, history of smoking, and diabetes.

Treatment of mild COVID-19 is basically performed at an outpatient clinic, then when the symptom and clinical findings exacerbate to a moderate level, patients are admitted. There is no standard treatment for mild cases. This study will investigate whether ivermectin administration suppresses the replication of SARS-CoV-2 in mild to moderate COVID-19 by investigating the negative rate of SARS-CoV-2 PCR by a randomized controlled trial. Subjects are assigned to two groups, the placebo group, and the ivermectin group. The target number of each treatment arm is 120, a total of 240 cases. A single oral administration of 200 ㎍/kg of ivermectin or an ivermectin-free placebo will be administered on an empty stomach. Time to negativization of SARS-CoV-2 PCR as the primary endpoint with additional efficacy and safety of the process will be investigated.

Shin Poong Pharmaceutical Co. Ltd.
This is a multi-center, randomized, Phase 2/3 study to evaluate the safety and efficacy of pyronaridine-artesunate in participants with corona virus disease 2019 (COVID-19). Pyronaridine-artesunate has been approved in Europe, Asia and Africa under brand name of Pyramax® or Artecom® as a treatment for malaria. The study will be conducted in two stages: open-label (Stage 1) and double-blind (Stage 2). Up to approximately 402 participants (20 participants in Stage 1 and 382 participants in Stage 2) are planned to be enrolled in the study and will be randomized to receive either Artecom® or matching placebo at a ratio of 1:1 in Stage 2. The dose of Artecom® will be determined by the participant's body weight, according to previously established guidelines. An independent Drug Safety Monitoring Board (DSMB) will be established to review the safety at regular intervals during the conduct of the trial. The DSMB will be subject to a Charter and will review after 20 participants have been recruited, and thereafter when 191 participants have been recruited. Ad-hoc DSMB meetings may be held at any time during the study if there are any major safety concerns. A final DSMB will be conducted when all participants have been recruited in the trial.
