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.

Randomized, double-blind (blinded for the trial subject and the study physician), placebo controlled, multi-center clinical trial in parallel assignment of efficacy, immunogenicity, and safety of the Gam-COVID-Vac combined vector vaccine against the SARS-CoV-2-induced coronavirus infection in adults in the SARS-СoV-2 infection prophylactic treatment.
Reena Mehra, MD
This study is a randomized, double-blind, controlled clinical trial to evaluate the effects of toremifene and/or melatonin in adults with mild COVID-19.

Covid 19, a novel coronavirus, causes infection that, while mild to moderate in many people, can lead to severe disease in a significant portion. Currently, it is expected that the majority, 81%, of patients with COVID-19 will have mild to moderate disease, with 14% having more severe disease (2). There exists a number of candidate drugs that may inhibit SARS-CoV-2 infection or progression of disease. Simple, safe and low-cost strategies that may be the best solution to inhibit infection and limit transmission and spread of infection. Ivermectin is a drug initially synthesized and used as an anthelmintic. It has been found to have activity against several RNA viruses such as the SARS-CoV-2 by mechanisms that inhibit importin α/β-mediated nuclear transport that may prevent viral proteins from entering the nucleus to alter host cell function. A recent in vitro study showed that a single dose of ivermectin could kill COVID-19 in vitro within 48 hours. A recent multi-continent retrospective study of 1,400 patients demonstrated an association of ivermectin use with lower in-hospital mortality 1.4% versus 8.5%. Given these findings and its safety profile, cost and ease of administration, Ivermectin warrants study as a potential treatment to prevent progression of COVID 19 infection.

Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) patients have an underlying immune deficiency and typically treated with immunosuppressive drugs, which may increase the risk of COVID-19 infection. Hydroxychloroquine (HCQ) has been found to possess antiviral activity against COVID-19. Thus, the aim of this study to investigate the ability of HCQ to reduce the risk of COVID-19 among RA patients.
Farmoquimica S.A.
The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of the drug nitazoxanide 600 mg, administered three times a day, in relation to placebo in preventing the development of COVID-19 in subjects from vulnerable communities that had direct contact with patients diagnosed with the disease.

The primary aim of this study is to test whether Doxycycline can benefit patients with severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infections by inhibiting the replication of the virus while at the same time blocking the development of cytokine storms or inhibiting cytokine-associated coagulopathy respectively. The investigators hypothesize that Doxycycline will will improve survival and reduce morbidity in SARS-CoV-2 infected patients. A secondary aim is to identify genetic variants that predict either an unusually mild disease or an unusually severe disease - knowledge that can be used to design new and precise medications and to be able to predict patients who might get into early trouble and to therefore hospitalize them.
Ono Pharmaceutical Co. Ltd
The primary aim of this study is to determine whether Camostat mesylate reduces SARS-COV-2 associated coagulopathy. Additional aims are to determine the effect of Camostat mesylate on SARS-COV-2 associated myocardial injury, to assess duration of hypoxia or intubation, to evaluate the length of intensive care unit and hospital stay, and assess mortality rates.

The disease caused by the new coronavirus, SARS-CoV-2, called COVID-19, it has considered a worldwide pandemia by the WHO. Suddently, it produces a lot of patients severe ill, in a little geographic area, that could surpase the resourses of the any health system in the world. There is no documentation of an effective alternative for the treatment of the severe ill patients, that can reduce the mortality or the adverse events suffered by these people. It is has suggested the usefulness of the Mesenchymal Stem cells (MSC) for the management of these patients, thanks to their direct and indirect antiviral capacity, and its potency as immunomodulator, that could ameliorate the lung disease and the severity of COVID-19.
WellStar Health System
The primary objective is to assess the impact of hydroxychloroquine in hospitalized patients with COVID-19 and risk factors for severe/critical disease.

Ivermectin which is an FDA-approved broad spectrum anti-parasitic agent, has also anti-viral activity. In vitro study have shown its activity against SARS-CoV-2, however its clinical effect on patients with COVID-19 never been tested. In this RCT we would like to evaluate the effect of Ivermectin on reduction of viral shedding among mild to moderate COVID-19 patients, and in shortening the symptom resolution time.
