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 purpose of this study is to explore the effectiveness of processed human amniotic fluid as a treatment for COVID-19.
EVIVE Biotechnology
This is an interventional, multicenter, 2-arm, parallel-group, randomized, double-blind, placebo controlled, dose-escalation, safety and efficacy study of F-652 treatment versus placebo in patients aged 18 years or older with a COVID-19 diagnosis confirmed by PCR. Eligible patients will have moderate to severe COVID-19 symptoms within 5 days post hospitalization and a positive COVID-19 testing.
Cartesian Therapeutics
Emergency study to test the safety of Descartes-30 cells in patients with moderate-to-severe acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) AND COVID-19
United States Department of Defense
- This is a phase II randomized study of convalescent plasma for the treatment of non-immune individuals with COVID-19 infection at high risk of complications. - Subjects will be considered as having completed the study after 2 months (+/- 5) days, unless consent withdrawal or death occurs first. - Subjects will be randomized to receiving convalescent plasma or best supportive care. - Patients randomized to best supportive care may receive plasma should they require hospitalization for progression of COVID-19 disease. - The final analysis will be conducted once the last subject completes the 2-month visit or withdraws from the study.

This is a phase 1/2a study including 2 parts, phase 1 and phase 2a. The phase 1 part is an open-label, single-arm, dose-escalating study to evaluate the safety and explore the dose limiting toxicity and maximum tolerated dose of a human umbilical cord derived mesenchymal stem cell product (BX-U001) in severe COVID-19 pneumonia patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). Qualified subjects after the screening will be divided into low, medium, or high dose groups to receive a single intravenous infusion of BX-U001 at the dose of 0.5×10^6, 1.0×10^6, or 1.5×10^6 cells/kg of body weight, respectively. The Phase 2a part is a randomized, placebo-controlled, double-blind clinical trial examining the safety and biological effects of BX-U001 at the appropriate dose selected from phase 1 for severe COVID-19 pneumonia patients with the same inclusion/exclusion criteria as the phase 1 part.

The purpose of this program is to see if giving convalescent plasma to individuals who test positive for COVID-19 may reduce their symptoms and help minimize complications from the illness.
VISIBLE PATIENT, E-MEDIA
Automated quantification of the pulmonary volume impaired during acute respiratory failure could be helpful to assess patient severity during COVID-19 infection or perioperative medicine, for example. This study aim at assessing the correlation between the amount of radiologic pulmonary alteration and the clinical severity in two clinical situation : 1. SARS-CoV-2 infections 2. Postoperative hypoxemic acute respiratory failure
Northside Hospital, Inc.
The plan is to transfuse COVID-19 infected patients with convalescent plasma and observe whether this will result in a significant improvement in clinical outcome in comparison to historical experience.
Swedish Orphan Biovitrum
Hyper-inflammation, caused by a cytokine storm resulting from an exaggerated response of the immune system in the presence of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), is considered to represent one of the most important negative prognostic factors in patients infected with sSARS-CoV-2. The objective of this study is to investigate new treatment options to reduce the number of patients requiring mechanical ventilation. This is intended to address the most urgent need to preserve the access to intensive care unit support to the lowest possible number of patients and may potentially reduce mortality.

No specific therapeutic agents or vaccines for COVID-19 are available. Several therapies, are under investigation, but the antiviral efficacy of these drugs is not yet known. The use of convalescent plasma was recommended as an empirical treatment during outbreaks of Ebola virus in 2014, and a protocol for treatment of Middle East respiratory syndrome coronavirus with convalescent plasma was established in 2015. Accordingly, we hypothesized that use of convalescent plasma transfusion could be beneficial in patients infected with SARS-CoV-2. This is a multicenter prospective randomized clinical trial to evaluate safety and efficacy of early use of convalescent plasma in patients with SARS-CoV2 pneumonia. Primary endpoint will be the efficacy, evaluated as the need of invasive mechanical ventilation defined by PaO2/FiO2 ratio
