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.

Serological surveys measuring anti-severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (anti-SARS-CoV-2) antibodies in the population to assess the extent of the infection and the COVID-19 immunity of the population in French Guiana.
Emory University
The objective of this study is to determine the safety, feasibility and efficacy of a bidirectional oxygenation Positive End Expiratory Pressure (PEEP) mouthpiece in coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) patients requiring supplemental oxygen by non-rebreather mask.
Beijing YouAn Hospital
A phase1/2, open label, dose escalation, safety and early efficacy study of CAStem for the treatment of severe COVID-19 associated with or without ARDS.
Mazandaran University of Medical Sciences
Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) was recognized as a pandemic on March 11, 2020 by the World Health Organization. The virus that causes COVID-19 (SARS-CoV-2) is easily transmitted through person to person and there is still no specific approach against the disease and mortality rate in severe cases is also significant. Therefore, finding effective treatment for the mortality of these patients is very important. In this study the investigators aim to determine the effect of Convalescent Plasma on COVID-19 patients Outcome through a Clinical Trial
Institut Pasteur
This study is a interventional study that present minimal risks and constraints to evaluate the presence of novel coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2) or antibodies among individuals living in households where there is a confirmed coronavirus case in order to provide useful information on the proportion of symptomatic forms and the extent of the virus transmission in tropical regions such as French Guiana, Guadeloupe and New-Caledonia.
Mario Negri Institute for Pharmacological Research
The study aims at clarifying whether early treatment with continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) ventilation is able to reduce the need for intubation or death in patients visiting an emergency department (ED) with known or suspected COVID-19 infection and insufficiency respiratory.
Rush University Medical Center
Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is an emerging infectious disease that was first reported in Wuhan, China, and had subsequently spread worldwide. Twenty-nine percent of COVID-19 patients may develop ARDS. Based on the potential beneficial mechanisms of HFNC and PP, whether early use of prone positioning combined with HFNC can avoid the need for intubation in COVID-19 induced moderate to severe ARDS patients needs to be further investigated.
PEEP Medical, LLC
This study will utilize a single center internal control study design. The objective of this study is to determine the feasibility and safety of a bidirectional oxygenation PEEP generating mouthpiece when combined with oxygen by non-rebreather face mask, compared to support by oxygen non-rebreather face mask alone.
Universidad Complutense de Madrid
A randomized controlled clinical trial will be carried out using inspiratory and expiratory training devices on healthy subjects recruited in social networks and university environments. The aim will be to determine the effectiveness and safety in the prevention and severity of COVID-19 disease by a respiratory training with inspiratory and expiratory devices.

SARS-CoV-2 infection mainly leads to interstitial pneumonia. The patients with low immunity have more serious conditions. At present, there is no specific drug/therapy available for COVID-19. NK cells are the major cells of the natural immune system, which are essential for innate immunity and adaptive immunity, and are indispensable in the defense of virus infection. NKG2D is an activating receptor of NK cells, which can recognize and thus clear virus infected cells. NK cells modified by CAR play a role in targeted cell therapy, and have benn demonstrated very safe without severe side effects such as cytokine releasing syndromes. The survival time of NK cells will be very short if there is no IL-15-sustained support after adoptive transfer into the body. In comparison with natural IL-15 in vivo, IL-15 superagonist (sIL-15/IL-15Rɑ chimeric protein) has increased the activity by nearly 20 times and as well as improved pharmacokinetic characteristics with longer persistence and enhanced target cytotoxicity. CAR-T cell-mediated cytokine release syndrome (CRS) and neurotoxicity have been shown to be abrogated through GM-CSF neutralization. ACE2 is the receptor of SARS-CoV-2 and binds to S protein of the virus envelope. We have constructed and prepared the universal off-the-shelf IL15 superagonist- and GM-CSF neutralizing scFv-secreting NKG2D-ACE2 CAR-NK derived from cord blood. By targeting the S protein of SARS-CoV-2 and NKG2DL on the surface of infected cells with ACE2 and NKG2D, respectively, and with the strong synergistic effect of IL15 superagonist and CRS prevention through GM-CSF neutralizing scFv, we hope that the SARS-CoV-2 virus particles and their infected cells can be safely and effectively removed, thus providing a safe and effective cell therapy for COVID-19. In addition, ACE2 CAR-NK cells can competitively inhibit SARS-CoV-2 infection of type II alveolar epithelial cells and other important organ or tissue cells through ACE2 so as to make SARS-CoV-2 abortive infection (i.e., no production of infectious virus particles). This project is an open, randomized, parallel, multicenter phase I/II clinical trial. The NKG2D-ACE2 CAR-NK cells secreting super IL15 superagonist and GM-CSF neutralizing scFv are going to be give by intravenous infusion (108 cells per kilogram of body weight, once a week) for the treatment of 30 patients with each common, severe and critical type COVID-19, respectively.
