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.

In this study, defined cases of COVID-19 confirmed with PCR, with a mild, moderate or severe pneumonia will be treated with chlorpromazine. The improvement in clinical & laboratory manifestations will be evaluated in treated patient compared to control group.

In the current situation it is of great importance to discover a safe, cost-effective and available treatment strategy in order to limit the rapidly spreading SARS-Cov-2. Recent studies have shown that hydroxychloroquine could have a role in the treatment of infected patients. It is however not very likely that hydroxychloroquine alone could be adequate for treatment of Covid-19 disease. Effective therapy that prevents the virus entrance should contain at least TMPRSS2 inhibitor or a competitive inhibitor of viral ACE 2 binding. The use of bromhexine at the dose adequate to selectively inhibit the TMPRSS2, resulting in preventing of viral entrance via TMPRSS2-specific pathway, coud be an effective treatment of Covid-19. In our study we would like to explore the therapeutic potential of bromhexin and hydroxychloroquine in Covid-19 patients. Hypothesis 1. Combined treatment with bromhexin and hydroxychloroquine shortens the course of disease in hospitalized Covid-19 patients compared to hydroxychloroquine alone. 2. Combined treatment with bromhexin and hydroxychloroquine lowers the incidence of secundary pulmonary infections in hospitalized Covid-19 patients compared to hydroxychloroquine alone. 3. Combined treatment with bromhexin and hydroxychloroquine decreases the need for ICU admission in hospitalized Covid-19 patients compared to hydroxychloroquine alone.

The number of confirmed cases of COVID-19 infectious disease arising from the SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus is rising substantially and rapidly, with the potential to overwhelm the ability of the entire National Health Service (NHS) to cope with the increased demand. The availability of personal protective equipment is limited and reports of high risk procedures such as aerosol generating procedures (e.g. intubation for the sickest patients) is a source of great concern for infection transmission. Frontline NHS staff with direct patient contact have the highest likelihood of exposure to SARS-CoV-2 and development of COVID-19 disease. Efforts to protect these workers from development of COVID-19, using drugs to prevent the disease, require urgent evaluation.

This clinical trial is a randomized, blinded, two arms, placebo controlled, clinical trial to evaluate the safety and efficacy of Mycobacterium w in combination with standard care as per hospital practice to prevent COVID 19 in subjects at risk of getting infected with COVID 19.

This is a double-blinded, randomized placebo-controlled trial to determine if pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) with 400mg hydroxychloroquine (HCQ), taken orally once daily, for health care workers in the hospital reduces symptomatic and asymptomatic COVID-19 disease during the pandemic. 374 health care workers will be randomized at a 1:1 allocation between the intervention and placebo arms and followed for 90 days. The cumulative incidence of COVID-19 infection in the intervention group will be compared to the cumulative incidence of COVID-19 in the placebo group with relative (risk ratio and 95% CI) and absolute measures (risk difference and 95% CI).

It is an observational, cohort, retrospective, monocentric, non-profit study. The primary objective is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of ruxolitinib in acute respiratory distress syndrome in patients with SARS-CoV-2 COVID-19 with rapid deterioration of respiratory parameters in the last 12 hours.

This randomized open labeled clinical trial will include one hundred healthy healthcare workers who will be randomly assigned into four groups of twenty-five each to receive either levamisole, Isoprinosine, combined levamisole and isoprinosine or no-intervention for two months to detect the impact of Levamisole and Isoprinosine as immune-prophylaxis on the incidence of COVID-19 infection. Participants will be followed-up for three months clinically and laboratory. Blood samples will be collected prior to randomization and during follow up.

Hydroxychloroquine has been approved by FDA as one of the treatment options for COVID 19.Healthcare personnel are amongst those at highest risk to contract the disease. Several health authorities are now recommending the use of hydroxychloroquine as pre-exposure prophylaxis is in health care personnel. Several studies are on going in this context. However there is a controversy regarding the dosage regimen. This drug has a half life of 22.4 days. In this study we will be comparing three different doses of Hydroxychloroquine and additionally have a control group in order to determine the efficacy of hydroxychloroquine as pre- exposure prophylaxis in healthcare personnel in various doses.

There is very little data so far to determine whether people living with HIV (PLWHIV) are at greater risk of COVID-19 acquisition or severe disease. HIV infection is associated with deficiencies in both humoral and cell-mediated immunity that could potentially alter the course and severity of common infections. The investigators will study the correlation between clinical and immunovirological data. The singularity of this work is to have an in-depth immunovirological approach linked to the clinical characteristics in COVID-19 HIV co-infected patients. COVIDHIV is the only study to date to offer this combined approach in PLWHIV. This protocol is a historical and prospective cohort study of PLWHIV presenting COVID-19 The primary objectives are to describe the course of COVID-19 disease in patients infected with HIV
