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.

Healthcare workers (HCW) at risk of Covid-19 will have baseline serology for SARS-CoV-2 to see if they are already immune to Covid-19. HCW will get baseline assessment and if meeting inclusion criteria and no exclusion criteria they will be randomized in a 2:1 ratio to hydroxychloroquine or Vitamin C on a weekly basis for three months. Subjects will complete daily diary of symptoms and temperature, and will have repeat SARS-CoV-2 serology at 6 weeks and 3 months to determine seroconversion.

The current sars-cov-2 epidemic is responsible for severe respiratory infections leading to end-of-life situations. Dexmedetomidine may be indicated in mild to moderate sedation in palliative patients, due to its pharmacological characteristics. The hypothesis of this study is that Dexmedetomidine would allow effective and safe light sedation in patients with respiratory failure in palliative situations suffering from Covid-19 infection.

Assessment of the Efficacy and Safety of (HCQ) as a Prophylaxis for COVID19 for Health Professionals
Assessment of the Efficacy and Safety of Hydroxychloroquine (HCQ) Administered as a Prophylaxis for Health Professionals Exposed to COVID19 and Working in Medical Intensive Care Units, in Tunisia. Multicentric, Randomized Comparative Study
University of Chicago
The objective of the study is to evaluate the efficacy of helmet NIV in reducing the duration of invasive mechanical ventilation in order to minimize ventilator needs during the COVID-19 pandemic.
University of Giessen
The study aims to investigate the efficacy of extracorporeal CO2 removal for correction of hypercapnia in coronavirus disease 19 (COVID-19)-associated acute respiratory distress syndrome
Montefiore Medical Center
Given the high prevalence of COVID19 illness (both SARS-CoV-2 RT-PCR confirmed and highly suspect cases) among healthcare workers (HCW) within the Montefiore Health System (MHS), hydroxychloroquine (HCQ) will be prescribed to healthcare workers who are at the highest risk for severe COVID19 illness.

Mortality from Covid-19 increases with age, reaching 14.8% from the age of 80. The severity of the infection is linked to the acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) which requires intensive care. ARDS is the consequence of the reactional inflammatory storm that damages the lungs. Aged subjects are particularly prone to zinc and vitamin D deficiency. These two micronutrients are able to modulate the immune response by reducing the inflammatory storm. The hypothesis is that supplementation with zinc and vitamin D would reduce the inflammatory reaction which worsens ARDS and leads to the death of subjects infected with Covid-19.
University Hospital Tuebingen
Patients over equal or older than 65 yearswill be treated with a hydroxychloroquine versus placebo reduced loading dose of 600mg on the first day followed with 400mg/day divided in 2x200mg for 6 more days resulting in a total duration of therapy of 7 days. Measurement of Hydroxychloroquine-levels will be performed on day 7, . A follow-up by video or telephone conference will be performed to observe drug intake and collect adverse events during treatment phase on a daily base on working days and once during the weekend (i.e. 6 out of 7 days). After treatment phase follow-up by telephone calls will be done on day 10, 30, 60 (+/- 2 days).

Efficacy of Ivermectin in larger doses in COVID-19 treatment
Abderrahmane Mami Hospital
The study will assess the number of patients who become asymptomatic from clinical signs of COVID19 and will assess the efficacy of Hydroxychloroquine (HCQ) and Azithromycine effects on paucisymptomatic patients with ou without co-morbidities
