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 is a phase I, open-label, dose-escalation clinical study to evaluate the safety, tolerability and immunogenicity of 3 ascending doses of UB-612 COVID-19 vaccine in healthy adults, aged from 20 to 55 years old.
Mayo Clinic
The purpose of this study is to assess whether convalescent plasma therapy is associated with reduced 30-day all-cause mortality in a population of Veteran inpatients with non-severe coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19).
GlaxoSmithKline
This is a phase 2/3 study in which subjects with coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) will receive VIR-7831 or placebo and will be assessed for safety, tolerability, efficacy, and pharmacokinetics.

Background: There are no proven therapies specific for pulmonary dysfunction in patients with acute hypoxemic respiratory failure (AHRF) caused by infections (including Covid-19). The full spectrum of AHRF ranges from mild respiratory tract illness to severe pneumonia, acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), multiorgan failure, and death. The efficacy of corticosteroids in AHRF and ARDS caused by infections remains controversial. Methods: This is a multicenter, randomized, controlled, open-label clinical trial testing dexamethasone in mechanically ventilated adult patients with established AHRF (including ARDS) caused by confirmed pulmonary or systemic infections, admitted in a network of Spanish ICUs. Eligible patients will be randomly assigned to receive dexamethasone: either 6 mg/d x 10 days or 20 mg/d x 5 days followed by 10 mg/d x 5 days. The primary outcome is 60-day mortality. The secondary outcome is the number of ventilator-free days at 28 days. All analyses will be done according to the intention-to-treat principle.

The study is designed as an open observational non-comparative study of Polyoxidonium®, lyophilizate for solution for injections and topical application, 12 mg in hospitalized patients with coronavirus disease (COVID-19).

Currently, there is no specific treatment or vaccine for SARS-CoV-2 available, some drugs are being investigated as treatment, but the effect is unknown. A strategy and other method used before, in coronavirus pandemic (SARS-CoV in 2003 and MERS-CoV in 2012), was the use of immune (convalescent) plasma. Passive administration of antibodies through convalescent plasma transfusion may offer the only short-term strategy available to confer immediate immunity and being a relative immediately resource available for treat COVID-19 disease. This research proposes the passive administration of antibodies through the transfusion of convalescent plasma, in patients with severe COVID-19 disease.
Universitätsklinikum Hamburg-Eppendorf
Hero-19 aims to evaluate if an intensive anticoagulation strategy using Edoxaban on top of standard of care (SOC) of COVID-19 therapy is superior to SOC (in-hospital moderate anticoagulation strategy = low-dose low-molecular weight heparin [LMWH], ambulatory no anticoagulation, i.e. placebo within this trial) in reduction of morbidity and mortality endpoints in patients with COVID-19.
Region Skane
Recent observations have suggested a role of neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs) in the pathophysiology of severe COVID-19. The aim of the study is to assess efficacy and safety of aerosolized DNase I to remove NETs and decrease respiratory distress in patients with COVID-19.
Northwell Health
The goal, with this study, is to leverage Northwell Health System's diverse workforce and robust testing structures, to contribute data-driven, evidence-based strategies to better understand the sustained prevalence of antibodies and how conferred immunity may be modified by environmental factors. The objective is to investigate the COVID-19/SARS-CoV-2 disease prevalence and trajectory over time, by conducting follow-up antibody testing on employees who consented to participate in research during the initial workforce offering. From 70,812 employees contacted, 46,117 were tested and received initial results. Of those participants, approximately, 32,000 agreed to be re-contacted, and 34,000 consented to research. The investigators plan to conduct an additional five rounds of testing that would sample individuals over a two-year period. This study is significant because it leverages Northwell Health's advanced laboratory systems to conduct serosurveillance of antibodies to COVID-19/SARS-CoV-2 across a large and diverse workforce, while taking into account the contextual environmental and occupational exposures that may modify continued immunity to the virus. Northwell Health's employee health services (EHS) is poised to act quickly to adapt policies and practices, where needed, to protect the workforce. The study is also innovative because it will be linking work environment and community measures with COVID-19 seropositive prevalence patterns over time, to build a better understanding of the disease and its controls at the population level. The expected outcomes include serial serology results as a measure of full or partial short-term (6 months) and long-term (2 year) immunity to re-infection and recognition of local environmental factors (e.g., building ventilation rates, zip code, air quality indicators) that could modify this immunity and assist with protecting the workforce and surrounding community. These results could inform national and global policies.

The new SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus is an emerging virus originating in Wuhan, China that has spread rapidly throughout the world. As of March 24, 2020, China had reported 81,767 cases with 3,281 deaths, and the World Health Organization (WHO) declared coronavirus 19 (COVID-19) a pandemic. COVID-19 disease is currently a pandemic without specific therapeutic agents and substantial mortality. So it is of utmost importance to find new treatments. Various therapies, such as Remdesivir and Favipiravir, are being investigated but the antiviral efficacy of these drugs is not yet known. The use of convalescent plasma was used as an empirical treatment during the Ebola virus outbreaks in 2014 and in 2015 a protocol was established for the treatment of the Middle East respiratory syndrome coronavirus (MERS) with convalescent plasma. This approach with other viral infections such as SARS-CoV, H5N1 avian influenza and H1N1 influenza suggesting that plasma transfusion from convalescent donors was effective. For this study, plasma from convalescent donors will be collected from those donors who have recovered from SARS-CoV-2 and are between 10 and 14 days after illness. Immunoassays will be carried out to detect total IgM and IgG antibodies against SARS-CoV-2. Patients will receive 1 to 3 convalescent plasma transfusions, depending on the response to treatment. The expected results are: normal body temperature, decrease in viral load or negative between 10-12 days after transfusion of convalescent plasma, which does not progress to ARDS, extubation of mechanical ventilation within two weeks of treatment, recovery of patient.
