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.

COVID-19 is an infectious disease caused by a newly discovered Coronavirus which was first identified in Wuhan, China in December 2019. Then the novel coronavirus outbreak was described and announced as a pandemic by World Health Organization (WHO) on March 11, 2020. Reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) is currently the gold standard test for diagnosis of COVID-19. Nevertheless, due to its high false-negative rates (%10-50), diagnosis and treatment decisions do not depend on RT-PCR alone. Clinical presentation of patient and radiological findings are also important. However, neither clinical presentation nor computed tomography (CT) findings are specific for COVID-19. As a consequence of these challenges, the diagnosis of the disease and the protection of the community health become more difficult. The investigators of this study hypothesized that deep learning-based decision support system may help for definitive diagnosis of COVID-19. The aim is to develop a deep learning-based decision support system algorithm based on clinical presentation of patient, laboratory and CT findings and RT-PCR data. Previously, deep learning algorithms with the use of widely known deep neural network architectures such as Inception, UNet, ResNet were developed. However all of these studies were based on CT findings. There are not any deep learning study in literature combining the clinical, radiological, and laboratory findings of patients. The project is based on the available data of COVID-19 patients that will be obtained from the Ministry of Health. Then the data will be evaluated for relevance and reliability and labeled for the training of machine. Following the anonymization of data, data will be processed according to the predetermined inclusion-exclusion criteria. Thorax CT data will be labeled as typical / indeterminate / atypical / negative for COVID-19 pneumonia. Also, CT images of patients with known non-COVID-19 diseases will be labeled for the training of machine. Then, fever, lymphocyte count, neutrophil to lymphocyte ratio, contact information, RT-PCR findings will be labeled. Subsequently, the patients will be labeled and the machine will be trained with deep learning method with the help of this grouped and labeled data. Following the training phase, the algorithm will be tested and if the machine reaches the target specificity and sensitivity, the prototype will be tested. And then, the prototype will be embedded into the hospital software system. This software and algorithm will serve as an early warning system for clinicians and provide a better diagnostic rate especially with decreasing false-negative results. The effects of a pandemic cannot be measured by only the number of people diagnosed and isolated, or treatment provided. A pandemic affects not only community health but also individuals' psychological status, education, teaching methods, working models, daily lifestyles, producer/consumer behaviors, supply/demand balance; in other words every single area of life. On top of that, a pandemic causes long-term damages hard to reverse. The software will increase the diagnostic success rates, help to control the pandemic and minimize the collateral damages mentioned above. The investigators believe that, the product that will be produced at the end of this project will be of great benefit in controlling the secondary wave of COVID-19 expected to occur.

Trial to Evaluate Efficacy and Safety of Nitazoxanide in the Treatment of Mild or Moderate COVID-19
Rajaie Cardiovascular Medical and Research Center
In a 2x2 factorial design randomized controlled trial, the investigators aim to elaborate the safety and efficacy of two pharmacological regimens on outcomes of critically-ill patients with COVID-19. The first randomization entails open-label assignment to intermediate versus standard dose prophylactic anticoagulation. The investigators hypothesize that intermediate dose compared with standard prophylactic dose anticoagulation will have a superior efficacy with respect to a composite of venous thromboembolism (VTE), requirement for extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO), or all-cause mortality. The second randomization will be double-blind assignment of the included patients to atorvastatin 20mg daily versus matching placebo. The hypothesis is that statin therapy, compared with placebo, will reduce the composite of VTE, need for ECMO, or all-cause mortality.

Since the emergence of the new strain of betacoronavirus (SARS-CoV-2) and its important clinical repercussions, it has been described that patients with its associated pneumonia (COVID-19) have high rates of thrombotic events, including reduction in the dialyzers patency when undergoing renal replacement therapy. Several strategies for preventing the early loss of dialysers are described, and regional anticoagulation based on citrate is the preferred modality for preventing this complication. On the other hand, in patients with SARS-CoV-2 there are already descriptions of endothelial inflammation and activation of the coagulation cascade, including studies demonstrating the benefit of heparinization of these patients. Thus, this study aims to compare two different anticoagulation strategies in patients infected with COVID-19 with continued venovenous hemodialysis (CVVHD). From the indication of CVVHD, patients will be screened according to eligibility criteria and, if they fit these parameters, they will be randomized into two groups: Group A - Standard regional anticoagulation based on Citrate associated with infusion of low doses of unfractionated heparin 10ui/kg/hour and Group B - Standard regional anticoagulation based on Citrate only. Patients will be randomized in blocks and followed for 72 hours. The primary endpoint is dialyzer patency at the end of 72 hours of clinical follow-up. Secondary objectives will be mortality, bleeding rate, drop in hematimetric indices, urea sieving, filter time in hours, down time of therapy, system and dialyser pressures (PBE and PTM). All patients will undergo a standard procedure with a prescribed dose of 30mL/Kg/H, blood flow of 150mL/minute and polysulfone dialyzer.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate how useful vitamin D supplementation is in reducing the severity of COVID-19 symptoms and the body's inflammatory and infection-fighting response to COVID-19. Individuals ≥50 years of age and older who are tested for COVID-19 and negative will be randomized (like flipping a coin) to either daily high dose vitamin D supplementation (6000 IU vitamin D3/day) vs. standard of care. Those individuals ≥50 years of age or older who test positive for COVID-19 at baseline will be randomized to bolus vitamin D (20,000 IU/day for 3 days) followed by high dose (6000 IU vitamin D/day) vs. standard of care for 12 months. All participants will receive a multivitamin containing vitamin D.
