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 clinical trial will examine if a new treatment of Mesenchymal-like Adherent stromal Cells (called PLX-PAD) can help patients intubated and mechanically ventilated due to COVID-19 to recover more quickly with less complications.

Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) pandemic has caused mass mortality in the last 3 months that necessitates urgent development of new therapeutical agents. So far there is no effective anti-viral drug to reduce viral load that has critical importance to prevent progress into severe viral pneumonia and systemic hyper inflammation state. This project is to offer a biologic agent based on T cell derived exosomes. This is a novel approach using our proprietary protocols for drug development. This clinical trial is to test the safety and efficacy of this new agent following targeted delivery by metered dose inhaler. The project have received proper approvals from the Turkish Ministry of Health and Erciyes University, Kayseri Turkey. Turk-Patent Application Number: PCT/TR2020/050302

This is a multicenter double blinded study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of convalescent plasma from COVID-19 recovered individuals to treat hospitalized patients with severe COVID-19 disease. The study will enroll 410 subjects who will be randomized 1:1 to receive convalescent plasma or normal saline solution in a blinded manner. The primary endpoint will be improvement on the 8 point WHO scale over 28 days. Mortality at day 28 will be a secondary endpoint. An interim analysis will be done when 224 patients have completed their follow up to assess safety and to indicate continuation or stopping of the study, based on safety and efficacy observed.

The actual pandemic infection related to SARS-CoV2 results in viral pneumonitis (COVID-19), that may, in the more severe cases, lead the patients to the intensive care unit (ICU). The more frequent presentation is acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). To penetrate cells, SARS-CoV2 uses Angioconvertase type 2 (ACE2) as a cellular entry receptor. ACE2 belong to the renin-angiotensin-aldosteron system (SRAA), and ACE2 levels are directly modified when SRAA inhibitors are administred to patients, and ACE2 level increases particularely with Angiotensin II Receptor blockers (ARA2) use. The aim of our study is to determine ACE2 level and activity in patients with SARSCoV2 infection admitted to the intensive care unit (ICU). COVID ARA2 is a propsective cohort of patient with blood sampling at the day of admission, day 3 and day 7.

This clinical trial is set out to evaluate the safety and efficacy of allogeneic human dental pulp mesenchymal stem cells in the treatment of severe pneumonia caused by COVID-19; to explore the effects of human dental pulp mesenchymal stem cells in the treatment of severe pneumonia of COVID-19 in terms of reducing mortality and improving clinical prognosis; and to discover a new therapeutic strategy for COVID-19 using allogeneic human dental pulp mesenchymal stem cells.

The new outbreak of the SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus is causing an important pandemic affecting a large number of people all-over the world. Vitamin D is a hormone precursor produced by our own body with the help of sunlight which has an important role on adaptive immunity and cellular differentiation, maturation and proliferation of several immune cells. Reduced levels of vitamin D in calves were positioned as the main cause of bovine coronavirus infection in the past. Therefore, it seems plausible that the use of vitamin D as a nutritional ergogenic aid could be a potential intervention to fight against COVID-19 infected patients which remain asymptomatic or which have non-severe and severe symptoms. This study aims to investigate whether the use of vitamin D as an immune modulator agent induces significant improvements of health status and outcomes in non-severe symptomatic patients infected with COVID-19 as well as preventing COVID-19 health deterioration. We hypothesize that vitamin D will significantly improve hard endpoints related to COVID-19 deleterious consequences compared with a usual care control group.
