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.

The use of nanomaterials in semi-facial respirators could decrease the permeability of particles and promote a biocidal effect compared to conventional respirators (N95) and, therefore, to enhance the filtering power, aiming to mitigate harmful effects of bacteria and viruses. Chitosan is a natural cationic polymer derived from chitin, with characteristics such as being biodegradable, biocompatible, non-toxic, and presenting antimicrobial activity. This polymer has virucidal activity in several types of viruses, including other coronaviruses, given the attractive factor of its cationic charge for negative charges. The effectiveness of a novel individual protection semi-facial respirator (called VESTA) will be investigated, compared to a conventional N95 respirator. The respirators will be tested in healthcare professionals working in hospital environments and the effectiveness will be attributed to the lower incidence rate of infection by the SARS-CoV-2, and to the ability to filter these viruses after use by healthcare professionals exposed to potentially contaminated environments. The study will be carried out in two stages: i) Randomized Controlled Trial with reduced sample to confirm the sample size calculation (pilot trial), and ii) Randomized Controlled Trial (RCT). The RCT will be conducted with healthcare professionals who have contact with environments/patients infected by SARS-CoV-2 in hospital sectors with greater vulnerability to infection (urgency, emergency and intensive care units). The RCT will be conducted initially with a group of sixty participants (n = 30 in each group) for initial investigation of the potential for efficacy with the use of the respirators (VESTA and conventional N95) in two sectors (emergency and ICU) in a reference Hospital for COVID-19. The RCT will consist of two parallel groups: (1) Experimental Group (GExp) that will use the novel respirator (VESTA) and (2) Control Group (CG) that will use the standard respirator (N95). Participants will be recruited from participating hospitals and will be accompanied by 21 days in approximately eight consecutive shifts (ranging from shifts lasting 6 to 12 hours each, followed by approximately 36 hours of rest). Participants will be assessed at baseline (T0), at the end of the 10th day (T1), and at the end of the 21st day (T2).
Instituto Grifols, S.A.
The primary objective of the study is to determine if Prolastin plus SMT can reduce the proportion of subjects dying or requiring intensive care unit (ICU) admission on or before Day 15 or who are dependent on invasive mechanical ventilation on Day 15 versus SMT alone in hospitalized subjects with Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19).

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the tolerability, safety, pharmacokinetics of SCTA01(anti-SARS-CoV-2 monoclonal antibody) in Healthy Chinese Subjects.
Grifols Therapeutics LLC
The purpose of the study is to determine if a high dose of Intravenous Immune Globulin (IVIG) plus Standard Medical Treatment (SMT) can reduce all-cause mortality versus SMT alone in hospitalized participants with COVID-19 requiring admission to the ICU through Day 29.

Trial design. Randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial in a catchment population of 2,020,860 age-appropriate subjects in the state of Buenos Aires and 235,000 in the city of Buenos Aires. Institutions. Hospitals San Juan de Dios, Simplemente Evita, Dr. Carlos Bocalandro, Evita Pueblo, Sanatorio Antartida, Hospital Central de San Isidro, Clinica Olivos in the state of Buenos Aires with 38 regional and town hospitals acting as referral centers, and Hospital Militar Central, Sanatorio de Los Arcos, Hospital Universitario CEMIC, Sanatorio Sagrado Corazon, Sanatorio Finochietto, Sanatorio Anchorena, Centro Gallego, and in the city of Buenos Aires in Argentina. Study population. Subjects >= 75 years of age irrespective of presenting comorbidities or between 65-74 years of age with at least one comorbidity (hypertension, diabetes, obesity, chronic renal failure, and COPD) who experience the following signs and symptoms for less than 48 hours at the time of screening for SARS CoV2 by RT-PCR: (a) a temperature >=37.5°C and/or unexplained sweating and/or chills and (b) at least one of the following: dry cough, dyspnea, fatigue, myalgia, anorexia, sore throat, loss of taste and/or smell, rhinorrhea. Subjects consenting to screening will be tested by reverse-transcriptase-polymerase-chain-reaction (RT-PCR) for SARS-CoV-2 in a nasopharyngeal and an oropharyngeal swab and invited to participate when RNA for the virus is detected. Intervention. Eligible, consenting patients will be randomized using an electronic system to receive 250 ml of convalescent plasma with an IgG titer against SARS-CoV2 spike (S) protein >1:1,000 (COVIDAR IgG, Insituto Leloir, Argentina) or placebo (normal saline 0.9%) administered in a 1:1 ratio. Both treatment and placebo will be concealed using dark bags and tape to cover the infusion line. Treatment will be administered 30 and/or an O2 sat

The current severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) pandemic is complicated by pneumonia (15 to 20% of cases) requiring hospitalization with oxygen therapy. Almost 20 to 25% of hospitalized patients require intensive care and resuscitation; half die. The main cause of death is acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). However, some deaths have been linked to pulmonary embolism (PE). Recognition of PE is important because there is specific treatment to limit its own mortality. The identification of biological parameters of hemostasis predictive of thromboembolic disease is crucial in these patients. To evaluate the frequency of PE in the patients having to be hospitalized is to practice of a systematic thoracic angiography scanner in the patients having no contra-indication for its realization, as well as during hospitalization in patients deteriorating without any other obvious cause. The thromboembolic events and disturbances of the coagulation system described in patients with SARS-CoV-2 pneumonitis suggest that this viral infection is associated with an increase in the activation of coagulation contributing to the occurrence of thrombosis and especially from PE.

Novel coronavirus disease 19 (COVID-19) is caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), this pneumonia was first emerged in December 2019 in Wuhan, China and rapidly spread around the world . Coagulopathy is one of the most significant prognostic factors in patients with COVID-19 and is associated with increased mortality and admission to critical care. Most observed coagulopathy in patients hospitalized with COVID-19 (COVID-19-associated coagulopathy) is characterized by increased D-dimer and fibrinogen levels. 71% of patients who did not survive hospitalization reported to have developed disseminated intravascular coagulation
