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 infection was shown to cause endothelial dysfunction . At the level of the endothelium the pathophysiological mechanisms have been hypothesized and were divided into pro-coagulant, pro-inflammatory, anti-fibrinolytics, impaired barrier function, vasoconstrictor and pro-oxidant. So far, the pro-coagulant and pro-inflammatory pathways have been studied and as a result dexamethasone and anticoagulation became part of the standard therapies for the disease. However, so far, no RCT has been evaluated on targeting the vasoconstrictive and antioxidant pathways with an aim of revealing clinical benefit. So, with this trial we intend to provide a regiment composed of several medications we hypothesize will act on several downstream pathways that would improve endothelial function primarily via the increase in NO production and release. At the time of this proposal there has been no randomized trials evaluating or testing the use of cardiovascular drugs targeting endothelial dysfunction in COVID-19 patients. As previously noted there has been a call to study these drugs and their effect after a strong research regarding their theorized effectiveness. For evidence, there was a recently published meta-analysis evaluating the role of statins in COVID-19 with preliminary findings suggested a reduction in fatal or severe disease by 30% and discredited the suggestion of harm, that emphasized on the need of well-designed randomized controlled trial to confirm the role of statins in COVID-19 patients. Our study would help determine the potential therapeutic effect of the endothelial protocol as adjunct to mainstream management. This study seeks to further our knowledge in treating COVID-19 to ultimately improve clinical outcomes and reduce complications.
Longeveron Inc.
A Phase I, double- blinded, randomized, placebo- controlled study to test the safety of Lomecel-B in Adults suffering from mild to severe acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) due to COVID-19 resultant from 2019-nCoV coronavirus infection, or resultant from influenza virus infection.
Profact, Inc.
This is a platform study to investigate the effectiveness of a variety of non-prescription approaches for the treatment of non-hospitalized adults recently tested positive for COVID-19.
FSD Pharma, Inc.
This study will measure the effect of FSD201 (ultramicronized PEA) + SoC vs placebo + SoC on Day 28, on disease progression in the confirmed coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) patient population.
Janssen Vaccines & Prevention B.V.
The study will evaluate the efficacy of Ad26.COV2.S in the prevention of molecularly confirmed moderate to severe/critical coronavirus disease-2019 (COVID-19), as compared to placebo, in SARS-CoV-2 seronegative adults in the double-blind phase and to describe COVID-19 outcomes, safety, and immunogenicity in the different study cohorts in open-label phase.
Cardiol Therapeutics Inc.
Non-critical patients, hospitalized within the previous 24 hours who tested positive for COVID-19 and have a prior history of cardiovascular disease (CVD) and/or significant risk factors for CVD will be treated for 28 days.
Pluristem Ltd.
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.
Department of Health and Human Services
This is a phase 3, randomized, observer-blinded, placebo-controlled study to evaluate the efficacy, safety, and immunogenicity of SARS-CoV-2 rS with Matrix-M1 adjuvant in adult participants and adolescent participants. Additionally providing a Booster Dose to fully vaccinated participants. A substudy is to be conducted at selected sites to evaluate the safety and immunogenicity of a fourth dose (second booster) of NVX-CoV2373 in adults and adolescents, previously fully vaccinated and subsequently boosted with a third dose (first booster)
Assistance Publique - Hôpitaux de Paris
The overall objective of the study is to determine the therapeutic effect and tolerance of Camostat mesylate, compared to placebo in adult patients with ambulatory COVID-19 disease, presenting with risk factors of severe COVID-19. Camostat mesylate is a serine protease TMPRSS2 (Transmembrane Serine Protease 2) inhibitor which has been successfully and safely used to treat pancreatitis-associated pain and post-operative reflux oesophagitis in Japan. More recently, it has been shown to inhibit SARS-CoV-2 viral entry and reduce infection of human primary pneumocytes and lung cell lines. Camostat mesylate or placebo will be administered to consenting adult patients with virologically confirmed COVID-19, not requiring initial hospitalization. All patients will receive standard of care along with randomized treatments. Outcomes of included patients will be compared between the 2 groups.

SARS-CoV-2 is a member of a class of viruses: angiotensin converting enzyme 2 (ACE2)-binding viruses that study calls "ABVs". The World Health Organization (WHO) and others are performing randomized controlled trials (RCTs) of vaccines and novel antivirals to address SARS-CoV-2 directly. However, the critical illness complications of COVID-19 are caused in part by SARS-CoV-2's binding and inhibiting ACE2 and the consequent host response. ACE 2 is the receptor for H1N1, H5N1, and SARS-CoV-2. After binding ACE2, SARS-CoV-2 is endocytosed, and surface ACE2 is down-regulated, increasing angiotensin II (ATII a potent vasoconstrictor) in COVID-19. The original ARBs limits lung injury in murine influenza H7N9 and decreases viral titre and RNA. Study has a unique opportunity to complement vaccine and anti-viral RCTs with an RCT modulating the host response using an angiotensin II type 1 receptor blocker (ARBs) to decrease the mortality of hospitalized COVID-19 patient.
