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.

The mortality rate in SARS-CoV-2-related severe ARDS is high despite treatment with antivirals, glucocorticoids, immunoglobulins, and ventilation. Preclinical and clinical evidence indicate that MSCs migrate to the lung and respond to the pro-inflammatory lung environment by releasing anti-inflammatory factors reducing the proliferation of pro-inflammatory cytokines while modulating regulatory T cells and macrophages to promote resolution of inflammation. Therefore, MSCs may have the potential to increase survival in management of COVID-19 induced ARDS. The primary objective of this phase 3 trial is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of the addition of the mesenchymal stromal cell (MSC) remestemcel-L plus standard of care compared to placebo plus standard of care in patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) due to SARS-CoV-2. The secondary objective is to assess the impact of MSCs on inflammatory biomarkers.
University Hospital Tuebingen
To evaluate the safety, toxicity and immunological effects of infusion of allogeneic bone marrow-derived human mesenchymal stem (stromal) cells (MSCs) and whether this therapy has an influence on the resolution processes in ARDS patients infected with Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2).

Low-dose radiotherapy treatment delivered to both lungs in patients with immune-related pneumonia following COVID-19 infection is backed up by biological and clinical bases that justify its use as a possible therapeutic option in these patients. This is a preliminary exploratory study (non-pharmacological interventional) to evaluate the feasibility and tolerability of low-dose radiotherapy treatment of SARS-Cov-2 immune-mediated pneumonia, for the subsequent implementation of a phase II study.This is a preliminary, monocentric, single-arm, interventional, non-pharmacological exploratory study. All enrolled patients will be treated with low-dose radiotherapy. Participants will undergo irradiation of the lungs, administered in a single fraction at the average prescription dose of 0.7 Gy (further details in the dedicated section).
Ain Shams University
The aim of this project is to introduce way for treatment of patients with severe COVID-19 disease with respiratory complications.
Royan Institute
Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome (ARDS) is the major cause of death in the COVID-19 pandemic. In this trial, the safety and efficacy of Mesenchymal Stem Cells (MSC) for the treatment of ARDS in COVID-19 patients will be assessed.
Enos Bernasconi
The purpose of this proof of concept study is to provide COVID-19 convalescent plasma to patients with moderate to severe COVID-19 and assess: - the titer of anti-COVID-19 antibodies in the donors and in the patients before and after treatment; - the in-depth analysis of immunological parameters in the donors and in recipient before and after treatment; - the impact of plasma transfusion on the reduction of viral load and inflammation - safety and tolerability - clinical efficacy
Celularity Incorporated
This study is a Phase 1 / 2 trial to determine the safety and efficacy of CYNK-001, an immunotherapy containing Natural Killer (NK) cells derived from human placental CD34+ cells and culture-expanded, in patients with moderate COVID-19 disease.
BioClever 2005 S.L.
The purpose of the study is to confirm if BACTEK-R (MV130) provides clinical benefit in subject with mild pneumonia (CURB-65≤2) by COVID-19 admitted to the Hospital.
Clinica Nuestra Senora del Rosario
This is a multicenter, randomized, controlled, open-label clinical trial testing the use of ozone auto-hemotherapy in hospitalized patients with Covid-19 pneumonia. Eligible patients will be randomly assigned to receive either ozone auto-hemotherapy plus standard treatment, or standard treatment alone. Patients in the ozone auto-hemotherapy group will receive treatment mixing 100-200ml of blood with ozone at a concentration of 40 μg / mL with a gas volume of 200 ml. Treatment will occur every 12h during 5 days. Standard treatment will be the one used in each hospital participating in the trial. All analyses will be done according to the intention-to-treat principle
Alexion
This study evaluated the efficacy, safety, pharmacokinetics, and pharmacodynamics of ravulizumab administered in adult participants with coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) severe pneumonia, acute lung injury, or acute respiratory distress syndrome. Participants were randomly assigned to receive ravulizumab in addition to best supportive care (BSC) (2/3 of the participants) or BSC alone (1/3 of the participants). BSC consisted of medical treatment and/or medical interventions per routine hospital practice.
