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.

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.

This study will evaluate the changes in sexual function, reproductive function and mental health of male patients discharged from the hospital with COVID-19, and the impact of SARS-CoV-2 on male reproductive health and mental health compared with healthy people during the same period. In addition, men's semen examination reports before and after the new coronavirus pneumonia event will be collected and compared to assess the impact of the event on the quality of men's semen. Also, This study will test the SARS-CoV-2 nucleic acid of the urogenital system of male patients discharged with COVID-19 to provide evidence for the effect of the new coronavirus on the male reproductive system.

Since the last 3 months the world copes with the novel coronavirus disease : Covid-19 emerged in China in the end of 2019. WHO declared the pandemic situation as a Public Health Emergency around the world on January 2020. Firsts studies emphasized on higher risk to older adults to experience serious health consequences : hospitalizations and mortality, due to multimorbidity and multimedication. Nursing home resident are particulary frailer and vulnerable.

This center intends to conduct a single-center, randomized, placebo-controlled study to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of Nintedanib ethanesulfonate soft capsule in the treatment of pulmonary fibrosis in patients with moderate to severe COVID-19.

Since December 2019, when the novel coronavirus disease (Covid-19) spread throughout the world, data have been needed on the effects of the pandemic on various aspects of healthcare systems. Recommendations for social distancing and quarantine decrees made by local governments, alongside the general public fear from the spread of the virus, are presumed to have markedly affected the trends in hospitals visits. Understanding the exact nature of the effect is critical for better anticipating and preparing health systems in the event of future outbreaks and in the post outbreak period. Therefore we intend to To identify retrospectively all patients who presented to the emergency department at our medical institute between January 1 - March 31 in the following years: 2017, 2018, 2019, 2020. We will examine the impact of COVID-19 on the rates of surgical emergency visits, ratio of surgical visits to non-surgical visits, the ratio of severe presentations to non-severe presentations, and the impact of age on ED attendance.

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.

A pneumonia of unknown cause detected in Wuhan, China was first reported to the WHO Country Office in China on 31 December 2019. The outbreak was declared a Public Health Emergency of International Concern on 30 January 2020. The spread and severity of the disease is variable from one country to another. Our team as well as many reports suggested that in some countries a " Flu like illness but much worse" was described in October, November and early in December before the WHO announcement. Was it COVID-19?
