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 is a randomized, double-blind, controlled clinical trial to evaluate the effects of toremifene and/or melatonin in adults with mild COVID-19.
Hospital Nacional Arzobispo Loayza
Clinical trial in health care personnel (physicians, nurses or nurse assistants) to determine the effect of orally-administered bovine lactoferrin to prevent SARS-CoV-2 infection. Participants will be randomized to receive daily bovine lactoferrin plus standard measures during 12 weeks or placebo (maltodextrine) for the prevention of SARS-CoV-2. The target enrollment is 336 participants. Each study participant will be monitored twice a week for symptoms of COVID-19 and if symptoms occur, a RT-PCR will be performed. Additionally, we will evaluate asymptomatic infections, by measuring SARS-CoV-2 serology every 4 weeks.
Lisata Therapeutics, Inc.
This clinical trial will explore the safety and potential efficacy of CLBS119 for the repair of COVID-19 induced pulmonary damage in adults.
Daewoong Pharmaceutical Co. LTD.
To evaluate the efficacy and safety after administration of DWJ1248 in patients with mild to moderate COVID-19 compared to the placebo.
CSL Behring
This is a phase 2, prospective, multicenter, randomized, double blind, placebo controlled, parallel group study to evaluate the safety and efficacy of intravenous (IV) administration of CSL324, administered in combination with SOC treatment, in subjects with COVID 19. For the purposes of this study, standard of care (SOC) may include any written or established treatment protocol followed at the study site for the treatment of severe COVID-19 or its complications, including off-label use of marketed pharmaceutical products and / or products with emergency use authorization granted for the treatment of COVID-19 (ie, not yet marketed) (eg, remdesivir).
University of Miami
The primary purpose of this research is to determine whether Valproate alone, and in combination with Quetiapine, lowers confusion and agitation in persons with severe Corona Virus Disease (COVID)19 pneumonia during weaning from the breathing machine (ventilator). Though Valproate and Quetiapine are often given to persons with severe confusion with agitation, the purpose of this small research study is specifically for: a) persons infected with COVID 2019 on a ventilator whose agitation is not responding to the usual medications (like dexmedetomidine), and b) to reduce the time persons are treated with dexmedetomidine, which requires continuous close monitoring in an ICU.
FSD Pharma, Inc.
This study will measure the effect of FSD201 (ultramicronized PEA) + SoC vs placebo + SoC on Day 28, on disease progression in the confirmed coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) patient population.
Biocon Limited
This is a randomized controlled trial to evaluate the efficacy and safety of itolizumab in subjects hospitalized with COVID-19.
CES University
Since the onset of the disease, more than 40.5 million people have been diagnosed with COVID-19 and nearly 1.2 million people have died (October 21, 2020). There is no complete understanding of the pathogenesis of SARS-CoV-2 infection and to this day there is no specific therapy or vaccine available. Thus, patient care is based on symptomatic therapy and treatment of complications. Ivermectin has been used for more than 30 years for the treatment of several diseases. More than one million doses of the drug are administered daily, particularly in low- and middle-income countries. Due to the low prevalence of adverse events with the use of this drug, ivermectin is considered to have a good safety profile and its potential benefit in other diseases is currently under investigation. An in vitro study of ivermectin in SARS-CoV-2 in Australia showed a significant reduction of viral load in infected cells. Subsequently, a descriptive study of 704 critical patients with COVID-19 showed a reduction in mortality, hospitalization, and intensive care unit length-of-stay in those patients who received the drug. Unfortunately, this study was withdrawn by its authors, leaving more questions than answers. Some countries in Latin America have authorized its use for the management of patients with COVID-19 even in the absence of solid evidence, and several other countries are conducting clinical trials to evaluate its efficacy for the treatment of moderate and severe disease. Since there is no specific treatment for COVID-19 and the therapeutic options are scarce, the researchers believe it is completely plausible, urgent, and necessary to evaluate if ivermectin use reduces the risk of admission to an intensive care unit (ICU) in hospitalized adults with severe COVID-19. The proposal is a randomized, double-blind clinical trial, conducted at CES Clinic, Medellin-Colombia. The investigators will randomize 100 patients with severe, non-critical illness, into two groups, one group will receive ivermectin in addition to standard management and the other group will receive placebo plus standard management. Clinical outcomes to evaluate will be ICU admission, need for mechanical ventilation, length of hospital stay, days in the ICU and mechanical ventilation, and finally, the incidence of adverse events related to the intervention. The estimated time to complete the study is approximately five months.

Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) (previously called 2019-nCOV acute respiratory disease) is caused by SARS-CoV-2, a positive-sense single-stranded RNA virus of the coronavirus family. The coronaviruses are largely responsible for the common cold, the 2002 SARS outbreak in Guangdong, China, the 2012 MERS outbreak in Saudi Arabia, and the present COVID-19 outbreak that originated in Wuhan, China. Much has been reported by way of systemic injury caused by COVID-19 affecting the cardiovascular, hepatic, nervous systems. These conditions are likely the result of the virus overwhelming the immune system. For these reasons, the investigators wish to conduct this study using existing medications off-label, and over-the-counter supplements to support the immune response, prevent lasting injury, and hasten the recovery from COVID-19.
