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.

In COVID-19 pandemic, it is of critical importance to identify a rapid and simple diagnostic method to be used in clinical settings to timely inform and refine strategies that can prevent, control, and stop the spread of SARS-CoV-2. The 2019-nCoV IgG/IgM Rapid Test Cassette (Whole Blood/Serum/Plasma) is a qualitative, membrane-based immunoassay for the detection of immunoglobulin G (IgG) and Immunoglobulin M (IgM) antibodies to SARS-CoV-2 in whole blood, serum or plasma specimen. Clinical specimens from patients who were suspected of being infected with 2019-nCoV will be used to evaluate the performance of the assay.
Yale University
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the performance of a non-invasive olfactory device as a rapid indicator of COVID-19 in positive subjects.
Masonic Cancer Center, University of Minnesota
This is a multi-center, randomized, placebo controlled, interventional phase 2A trial to evaluate the safety profile and potential efficacy of multi-dosing of mesenchymal stromal cells (MSC) for patients with SARS-CoV-2 associated Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome (ARDS). After informed consent, treatment assignment will be made by computer-generated randomization to administer either MSC or vehicle placebo control with a 2:1 allocation to the MSC: placebo arm.
Baqiyatallah Medical Sciences University
180 people from the medical staff and high-risk people in Baqiyatallah Hospital, who are in close contact with patients, will enter the study. Participants will be divided into two intervention groups and one control group. The control group will use the full protective equipment assigned to the treatment staff. In addition to protective equipment, the first intervention team will receive a daily diet of 200 mg hydroxychloroquine tablets. The second intervention team, while observing and using the complete protective equipment, will place a thin layer of Mucodentol gel in the vestibular area of the mouth daily, every 6 to 8 hours. At the beginning of the treatment, qualified people will participate in the study while recording demographic and clinical information, PCR test will be performed, and if they have negative PCR, they will be in one of the 3 study groups. During the study, if the symptoms of the disease occur in each of the participants, the test will be taken again. If the test is positive, the person will withdraw from the study, and the patient's information will be recorded. Finally, the people present in the study will be tested for PCR, and the results of the disease and the side effects of the drugs will be compared.
Cambridge University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust
This study aims to evaluate several of Owlstone Medical's Breath Biopsy aerosol respiratory droplet capture techniques for the detection of nCOVID-19. These are single use disposable breath capture devices with removable filters and fitted PVA strip that directly sample exhaled breath aerosols and therefore, directly sample the primary transmission route for the virus. They can be used independently and shipped for analysis for the presence of nCOVID-19 using established existing assays available in any reference lab. The trial is a non-inferiority trial comparing diagnostic accuracy of collection via face mask vs. available diagnostic procedures in standard care and will also asses the feasibility of patient use of the equipment. Subjects will be recruited at the Addenbrookes Hospital, Cambridge. Minimal patient characteristics (e.g. age, sex) are collected. Between 20 and 100 subjects with with a positive nCOVID-19 diagnosis will be sampled to obtain to address the primary study hypothesis. Due to the pre-test probability of patients being positive for nCOVID-19 is unknown we will monitor the number of sampled subjects with a positive diagnosis on a weekly basis. The clinical diagnosis of the subject based on a combination of imaging, viral diagnostics and clinical assessment will be used as the reference standard. When this number hits 100 the study will be discontinued. In total no more than 500 subjects shall be sampled in this trial.
Japan Agency for Medical Research and Development
This study will assess the safety and immunogenicity of AG0301-COVID19 in healthy adult volunteers.
AO GENERIUM
It is a multicenter, open-label, randomized, parallel-group study of the efficacy and safety of Tigerase® (GENERIUM JSC, Russia) with standard therapy versus standard therapy in patients with COVID-19.
University of Wisconsin, Madison
The purpose of this research study is to evaluate and improve a rapid COVID-19 test. The test is designed to identify people who are most contagious and likely to spread the virus to others. This test will be performed at various locations in the Madison area using a mobile laboratory or standard lab space for processing. Saliva samples can be collected and processed at these locations or participants can self-collect at home and drop their samples off at designated locations for same day processing. Results of potential findings of clinical significance will be communicated to the participants by a physician with appropriate expertise on the study team. Individuals with a potential finding of clinical significance will be encouraged to self-isolate and obtain a diagnostic test at their earliest convenience. No results will be given if the test is negative. If the participant consents, advanced molecular testing such as PCR or viral sequencing can be done and results can be shared via online databases, presentations and publications along with the date, site and county of collection to help facilitate tracking the spread of the virus.
Emory University
COVID-19 is increasingly affecting children but convalescent plasma (CP) has not been adequately studied in children to date. The study will determine safety of convalescent plasma for pediatric patients with severe, or at high risk for severe, COVID-19 disease.
Ampio Pharmaceuticals. Inc.
This is a Phase 1 randomized study to evaluate the safety, tolerability and efficacy of IV Ampion in improving the clinical course and outcomes of patients hospitalized with COVID-19 infection who require supplemental oxygen.
