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.

This study is 'A Randomized Phase 1 Double Blind Placebo Controlled, Single-Dose, Dose-Escalation Study to Evaluate the Safety, Tolerability and Pharmacokinetics of Orally Inhaled Aerosolized Hydroxychloroquine Sulfate in Healthy Adult Volunteers.' The primary objectives are as follows: - To assess the safety and tolerability of AHCQ administered as a single dose by oral inhalation in healthy individuals at escalating doses until either the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) is identified or 1 mL of a 50 mg/mL solution is administered. - To determine the recommended Phase 2a dose (RP2D). Secondary objectives: • To characterize pharmacokinetics (PK) of single dose AHCQ in healthy individuals.

When the COVID-19 virus infects a person, it enters the lung epithelial cells of its host and uses its genetic material to replicate. The pulmonary epithelial cells of a part of the population, known as "secretors", are capable of expressing the antigens of the "ABO" system on their surface. This secretory status can be established by determining the antigens of the Lewis blood group system. When the virus replicates in an "secreting" individual, the antigens of the "ABO" system of the infected individual will be present on the surface of the viruses formed in his/her lungs. It was shown in 2003 that the response of a given individual to the transmission of a virus depends on his/her blood group and on the antigens of the "ABO" system carried by the virus. A patient of group "O" would thus defend himself much better against a virus carrying antigens of blood group "A", the natural antibodies "anti-A" of the patient reducing the ability of the virus to bind to its specific receptor on pulmonary epithelial cells, to penetrate them to replicate itself. The first data collected in Wuhan (China) seems to confirm this hypothesis. A COVID-19 virus transmission model can therefore be established on the basis of blood groups. In order to reduce the spread of the virus among nursing staff, it is possible to establish a preferential algorithm for patient management based on the "ABO" and "Lewis" blood groups of patients and "ABO" of nursing staff in health care units, if operational and human conditions allow.
AO GENERIUM
It is a multicenter, open-label, randomized, parallel-group study of the efficacy and safety of Tigerase® (GENERIUM JSC, Russia) with standard therapy versus standard therapy in patients with COVID-19.
Emory University
COVID-19 is increasingly affecting children but convalescent plasma (CP) has not been adequately studied in children to date. The study will determine safety of convalescent plasma for pediatric patients with severe, or at high risk for severe, COVID-19 disease.

Since the outbreak of the novel coronavirus disease in 2019 (COVID-19), an unprecedented global search for potential therapeutics and vaccines is ongoing. In this study, a combination of two drugs that have been shown to be effective against the germ that causes COVID-19 in the laboratory will be tested in patients diagnosed with moderate to severe COVID-19. One of the drugs is called nitazoxanide and the second is atazanavir/ritonavir. Nitazoxanide has been used for the treatment of diarrhea since 2004 while atazanavir/ritonavir was approved for HIV treatment in 2003. They are known to be safe in humans. In this pilot study, 98 COVID-19 patients will be recruited into two groups. The 49 patients in group 1 will receive the standard of care determined by their primary care providers while the 49 patients in group 2 will receive both the standard of care combined with the two study drugs. Patients in group 2 will receive the study drugs for 14 days and all patients will be monitored for a total of 28 days. The time it takes for the germ that causes COVID-19 to be completely removed from the body (in nasal secretions) and the time to clinical improvement will be monitored in all patients and compared between the two groups.
Centre hospitalier de l'Université de Montréal (CHUM)
Randomised, single-blinded trial. Patients with a diagnosis of COVID-19 infection within the past 96 hours and not requiring hospitalization will be recruited into a trial of BID Nasal irrigation for 14 days, followed by a 14 day observation period. Irrigation will be performed with either Probiorinse probiotic nasal irrigation solution or NeilMed Sinus rinse. Patients will be able to identify their treatments, but study staff will be blinded as to assignment.

COVID-19 is an infectious disease caused by SARS-CoV2 virus. COVID-19 patients can develop a severe disease that can lead to hypoxic respiratory failure and acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). Severe patients can require access to intensive care unit (ICU). Early rehabilitation is known to be effective in critically ill patients and in ARDS. The role of respiratory physiotherapy in critical COVID-19 patients is still unclear. The aim of this study is to describe the bundle and the timing of respiratory physiotherapy used with severe COVID-19 patients from ICU to hospital discharge. Functional condition of patients at discharge will be assessed and described.
Thirty Respiratory Limited
The effect of RESP301 as an add on treatment to SOC will be evaluated for its efficacy in reducing rate of progression to a more severe level of COVID-19 and for safety, by comparison with SOC alone in hospitalized COVID-19 patients.
Yale University
This study tests different messages about vaccinating against COVID-19 once the vaccine becomes available. Participants are randomized to 1 of 12 arms, with one control arm and one baseline arm. We will compare the reported willingness to get a COVID-19 vaccine at 3 and 6 months of it becoming available between the 10 intervention arms to the 2 control arms. Study participants are recruited online by Lucid, which matches census based sampling in online recruitment.
Woebot Health
The purpose of this study is to test the efficacy of a substance use disorder intervention delivered via a mobile application in an adult population during the COVID-19 pandemic. This study that will test the comparative efficacy of the mobile-app based substance use disorder program to reduce substance use relative to a wait list control condition, and explore between group differences on quality of life indices as well as retention and engagement during COVID-19.
