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 severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) has affected the global population with significant morbidity and mortality. One of the main concerns is the management of the patients since there is no specific treatment for this condition. Therefore, in SARS-CoV-2 patients the compassionate use of off-label therapies has been initiated; such as the use of plasma from convalescent patients. This treatment has been used in other pandemics like SARS-CoV-1, H5N1, H1N1, Ebola, among others. This study is a phase II/III randomized clinical trial to assess the effectiveness and safety of convalescent plasma administration in patients with high-risk SARS-CoV-2.

The most common thorax Computed tomography (CT) findings are multifocal ground-glass opacities and peripheral consolidation in patients with COVID-19. Septal thickening, bronchiectasis, pleural thickening, and subpleural involvement may also be observed. Although these findings are not specific to COVID-19, the severity of pulmonary involvement is expected to be correlated with thorax CT findings.

SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), has negatively impacted global health and requires more research to develop better tests and to improve disease treatment. The purpose of this research is to aid in the testing effort by collecting samples from people who have been diagnosed with COVID-19 or are suspected of having COVID-19. Samples you provide will be used investigationally by INanoBio to develop a test to determine when antibodies against various SARS-CoV-2 proteins are detectable. Up to approximately 80 subjects of all ages with either a suspected or lab-confirmed diagnosis of COVID-19 will take part in this research.

A total of 900 subjects are planned to be randomly divided into 2 doses of low-dose experimental vaccine group, 2 doses of high-dose experimental vaccine group, 2 doses of placebo group, 3 doses of low-dose experimental vaccine group, 3 doses of high-dose experimental vaccine group and 3 doses of placebo group, the sample size of each group was 150 cases.

Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) is spreading worldwide and has become a public health emergency of major international concern. Currently, no specific drugs or vaccines are available. For severe cases, it was found that aberrant pathogenic T cells and inflammatory monocytes are rapidly activated and then producing a large number of cytokines and inducing an inflammatory storm. Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) have been shown to possess a comprehensive powerful immunomodulatory function. This study aims to investigate the safety and efficacy of intravenous infusion of mesenchymal stem cells in severe patients with COVID-19.

Finding effective strategies to treat or prevent the novel coronavirus disease that started in 2019 (COVID-19) is a global public health priority. Potential therapeutics and vaccines are now being investigated in over 1500 clinical trials. Clinical features of the disease include overproduction of reactive oxygen species which induces oxidative stress responses and contribute to acute lung injury. This presents a potential treatment strategy involving antioxidation therapy. In this pilot study, 90 COVID-19 patients aged 18-75 years will be recruited into two groups. The 45 patients in group 1 will receive the standard of care determined by their primary care providers while the 45 patients in group 2 will receive both the standard of care combined with daily antioxidant supplement for 14 days. All patients will be monitored for a total of 28 days with daily monitoring of symptoms and nasopharyngeal swab for SARS-CoV-2 test on days 3, 7, 14 and 28. The study will compare the following between the two groups: (1) the proportion of patients with clinical improvement (defined as live discharge from hospital, decrease of at least 2 points from baseline on a 7-point ordinal scale, or both), and (2) the proportion of patients with negative SARS-CoV-2 test by PCR on days 3, 7, and 14.
Hospital St. Joseph, Marseille, France
The purpose of the study COVID-EP is to classify all the complications occurring after the diagnosis of pulmonary embolism in patients tested initially COVID-19 positive and negative by RT-PCR (on nasopharyngeal sample) during the peak of the pandemic in France (April 2020). The patients will be followed for 1 year in order to provide clinical and paraclinical data not yet published in the literature. In order to secondarily confirm the COVID-19 status of initially negative COVID-19 patients (by RT-PCR), a serology test will be performed. The collected complications will then be compared between each of the 3 following groups: [PCR-COVID 19-Neg & Sero-COVID 19-Neg] versus [PCR-COVID 19-Neg & Sero-COVID 19-Pos] versus [PCR-COVID 19-Pos].

The purpose of this study is to investigate whether nicotinamide riboside supplementation can attenuate the severity of SARS-CoV-2 infections in elderly patients. A major event in aging is the loss of the central metabolite nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD+) that appear to be important in the proinflammatory environment that occur during aging. Notably, recent work from our and other groups suggest that aging can be ameliorated by even a short-term treatment of the NAD+ precursor nicotinamide riboside. Nicotinamide riboside has recently been shown to be able to return aging tissues to a younger state even after short term treatment. This vitamin B3- analog is naturally occurring, is readily taken up through oral administration and has been tested in human trials with few side effects. In this randomized double blinded case-control trial, the investigators will treat elderly (>70 year old) COVID19 patients with 1 g of nicotinamide riboside (NR-E) or placebo for 2 weeks and investigate if this affects the clinical course of the disease.
