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.

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.
William Beaumont Hospitals
The goal of this study is to evaluate if CT (Computerized Tomography) can effectively and accurately predict disease progression in patients with SARS-CoV-2 (severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2). You may be eligible if you have been diagnosed with SARS-CoV-2, are an inpatient at Beaumont Hospital-Royal Oak and meet eligibility criteria. After consent and determination of eligibility, enrolled patients will have a CT scanning session. After the CT scan, patients are followed for 30 days by reviewing their medical records and by phone after discharge from hospital.
MEDEX
The study is an unblinded, randomized, controlled trial for use of the AirFlO2 device for patients admitted to Duke Hospital with COVID-19 and tachypnea (RR >20 breaths/min) and/or hypoxia (Oxygen saturation
Advaccine (Suzhou) Biopharmaceuticals Co., Ltd.
This is a Phase 2/3, randomized, placebo-controlled, multi-center trial to evaluate the safety, immunogenicity and efficacy of INO-4800 administered by intradermal (ID) injection followed by electroporation (EP) using CELLECTRA® 2000 device to prevent COVID-19 in participants at high risk of exposure to SARS-CoV-2. The Phase 2 segment will evaluate immunogenicity and safety in approximately 400 participants at two dose levels across three age groups. Safety and immunogenicity information from the Phase 2 segment will be used to determine the dose level for the Phase 3 efficacy segment of the study involving approximately 7116 participants.

This study is a 12-month, four-arm parallel-group randomized control trial of Pfizer-BioNTech versus MODERNA COVID-19 (Corona Virus disease 2019)vaccine boosters in chronic kidney disease and dialysis patients with poor humoral response following COVID-19 vaccination, in collaboration with 5 dialysis centers in Ontario and British Columbia, Canada . Patients will be randomized to MODERNA or Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 vaccine, they may have received either MODERNA or Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 vaccine for their initial two doses of vaccine, and will be stratified by their initial vaccine type (MODERNA or Pfizer-BioNTech ) prior to randomization, which will result in four study groups.
Clover Biopharmaceuticals AUS Pty Ltd
The purpose of the study is to evaluate the safety and immunogenicity of the investigational CpG 1018/Alum-adjuvanted recombinant SARS-CoV-2 trimeric spike (S)-protein subunit vaccine (SCB-2019) in adult participants with stable chronic inflammatory immune-mediated diseases (IMDs), compared to control vaccine.
Ivan S Moiseev
This is an observational case-control study to evaluate COVID-19 vaccine effectiveness against hospitalisation with COVID-19 related conditions in St. Petersburg, Russia. Two sets of cases and control will be retrospectively analyzed to compare vaccination proportions and other characteristics to infer vaccine effectiveness from odds ratios. The first set of cases will be extracted from the data on hospitalisation of patients with COVID-19 to First Pavlov State Medical University of Saint-Petersburg hospitals, and controls will be patients hospitalised with other conditions. The second set of cases and controls will be based on patients referred to Medical Institute named after Berezin Sergey for computed tomography. Cases will be patients with positive SARS-CoV-2 status computed tomography confirmed pneumonia or patients referred to hospitalisation, and control will be patients without pneumonia and not referred to hospitalisation.
