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 study will provide access to investigational anti-SARS-CoV-2 human convalescent plasma for pediatric patients with underlying medical conditions (cardiovascular disease, lung disease, immunosuppression) who are either infected with SARS-CoV-2 or who have had a high-risk exposure. Study participants will be transfused once with compatible convalescent plasma obtained from an individual who has recovered from documented infection with SARS-CoV-2. Safety information and pharmacokinetic data will be collected.
Big Corona Ltd.
This study seeks to determine whether dual or quadruple therapy is more effective in treating COVID-19.
Takeda Development Center Americas, Inc.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety, pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamics of lanadelumab administered by intravenous (IV) infusion when added to standard-of-care (SoC) in adults hospitalized with COVID-19 pneumonia.
Beyond Air Inc.
The purpose of this open label, 2-phase, study is to obtain information on the safety of 80 ppm and the safety and efficacy of 150 ppm Nitric Oxide given in addition to the standard of care of patients with COVID-19 caused by SARS-CoV-2.
Oregon Health and Science University
This phase II trial studies how well lopinavir/ritonavir works in treating COVID-19 positive patients with cancer and a weakened immune system (immune-suppression) in the last year and have mild or moderate symptoms caused by COVID-19. Lopinavir/ritonavir may help to lessen or prevent COVID-19 symptoms from getting worse in cancer patients.
APR Applied Pharma Research s.a.
Patients with Critical COVID-19 and respiratory failure who are ineligible for enrollment in NCT04311697, who live more than 50 miles from an existing collaborating research center, or who are already hospitalized and cannot safely be transferred to a collaborating research facility may be considered for expanded access by the sponsor. Treating physicians must complete FDA Form 3396 and receive a letter of authorization from NeuroRx, along with local IRB authorization. Please refer to FDA guidance for Individual Patient Expanded Access https://www.fda.gov/media/91160/download
Hoxworth Blood Center
The purpose of this research study is to learn more about the use of viral specific T-lymphocytes (VSTs) when given in the presence of COVID-19 signs and symptoms, caused by the virus SARS-CoV-2. VSTs are cells specially designed to fight viral infections. These cells are created from a blood sample collected from a donor who has recovered from COVID-19 infection. VSTs are investigational meaning that they are not approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). COVID-19 is a new virus and treatment options are evolving rapidly. VSTs have been successfully used to treat many different viral infections and may be beneficial in treating COVID-19 in the absence of other treatments.

Lymphopenia is common in patients with COVID-19 and is associated with worse clinical outcomes. NT-I7 is a long-acting human interleukin-7 (IL-7) that has been shown to increase absolute lymphocyte count (ALC) and CD4+ and CD8+ T cell counts with a well-tolerated safety profile in humans. In this study, patients who have tested positive for SARS-CoV-2 by PCR testing without severe disease and with ALC
Epicentre
The purpose of this study is to assess whether lopinavir/ritonavir (or eventually other antiviral drugs) is effective at reducing the rate of hospitalization among confirmed COVID-19 cases treated as outpatients.
University of Copenhagen
The purpose of this study is to investigate whether nicotinamide riboside supplementation can attenuate the severity of SARS-CoV-2 infections in elderly patients. A major event in aging is the loss of the central metabolite nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD+) that appear to be important in the proinflammatory environment that occur during aging. Notably, recent work from our and other groups suggest that aging can be ameliorated by even a short-term treatment of the NAD+ precursor nicotinamide riboside. Nicotinamide riboside has recently been shown to be able to return aging tissues to a younger state even after short term treatment. This vitamin B3- analog is naturally occurring, is readily taken up through oral administration and has been tested in human trials with few side effects. In this randomized double blinded case-control trial, the investigators will treat elderly (>70 year old) COVID19 patients with 1 g of nicotinamide riboside (NR-E) or placebo for 2 weeks and investigate if this affects the clinical course of the disease.
