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.

COVID-19 patients with a severely symptomatic progression with development of an Acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) due to SARS-CoV-2 need prolonged intensive care treatment involving pharmacological immobilization, sedation and mechanical ventilation, leaving them at a very high risk for developing Critical illness myopathy (CIM). CIM is associated with increased mortality and significant consequences for recovery and the ability to return to normal daily life. Up to date, there are no studies investigating the mid- or long-term course of the novel COVID-19 disease. The present study therefore aims to evaluate the clinical outcome of patients with ARDS due to SARS-CoV-2 with special attention to the development of CIM and its underlying causes. To provide the possibility of early diagnosis of CIM, critically ill patients will be regularly screened for muscle membrane alterations using (Muscle velocity recovery cycles) MRVC measurements. The primary endpoint is the incidence of CIM in patients with ARDS due to SARS-CoV-2, diagnosed according to the current diagnostic criteria.

The host response against the coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) appears to be mediated by a 'cytoquine storm' developing a systemic inflammatory mechanism and an acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), in the form of a bilateral pneumonitis, requiring invasive mechanical ventilation (IMV) in an important group of patients. In terms of preventing progression to the critical phase with the consequent need of admission to the intensive care units (ICU), it has been recently proposed that this inflammatory cytoquine-mediated process can be safely treated by a single course of ultra-low radiotherapy (RT) dose < 1 Gy. The main purpose of the study was to analyze the efficacy of ultra low-dose pulmonary RT, as an anti-inflammatory intention in patients with SARS-Cov-2 pneumonia with a poor or no response to standard medical treatment and without IMV.
Caption Health, Inc.
Participants scheduled for for an echocardiogram (echo) and being evaluated for, or is positive for COVID-19 will be asked if they would be willing to have their echo done using a new software program on one of the hand-held ultrasound scanners. The new software program guides the investigator, or any other non-sonographer, to take the best possible pictures of the participants heart. The prior version of this software is already being used clinically and is FDA approved. The main reason for using the updated version is that it's faster and better in terms of guiding the user.
Providence Health & Services
This study will assess the efficacy of hydroxychloroquine in reducing the severity of symptoms in patients with COVID-19
DSCS CRO
This is a Phase II interventional study will test the efficacy of quintuple therapy (Hydroxychloroquine, Azithromycin, Vitamin C, Vitamin D, and Zinc) in the treatment of patients with COVID-19 infection).
DSCS CRO
This is a Phase II interventional study testing whether treatment with hydroxychloroquine, Vitamin C, Vitamin D, and Zinc can prevent symptoms of COVID-19
Center for Integrated Care
The purpose of the study is to design and execute a prospective, longitudinal, descriptive cohort study in a pragmatic clinical practice for adults with symptoms that may be related to COVID-19.
Stanford University
The purpose of this study is to develop a safe, easily scalable, and simple method to split a single ventilator for use amongst two or more patients, thus serving as a capacity bridge to save patient lives until manufacturers can produce enough ventilators.
University of Pennsylvania
The purpose of the COVIDNOCHE trial (HFNO versus CPAP Helmet Evaluation in COVID-19 Pneumonia) is to evaluate the comparative effectiveness of standard care non-invasive respiratory support (helmet CPAP versus HFNO) for acute hypoxemic respiratory failure from COVID-19 pneumonia on ventilator-free days (primary outcome) and other clinical outcomes measured up to 90 days.

Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2) has caused a global pandemic and is associated with significant morbidity and mortality. The mortality rate for COVID-19 patients admitted to an intensive care unit (ICU) who require mechanical intubation is approximately 75%. While the pathophysiology of severe COVID-19 has yet to be fully understood, it is possible that a combination of high viral loads and an overactive dysregulated inflammatory response may contribute. Therefore, the clearance of SARS-CoV-2 virus and cytokines could provide a more opportunistic environment for the innate immune system to clear the virus and establish lasting immunity. The Seraph®-100 Microbind® Affinity Blood Filter (Seraph®-100) is an extracorporeal broad-spectrum sorbent hemoperfusion filter for removing virus and cytokines from the blood. The FDA authorized an Emergency Use Authorization (EUA) for treatment of severe COVID-19 with the Seraph®-100. As part of the EUA, this registry study will collect de-identified data to assess safety and efficacy on the use of Seraph®-100 Microbind® Affinity Blood Filter in the treatment of COVID-19 patients.
