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.

In neurocritical care, besides the standard intensive care monitoring, even more data are obtained from the very complex pathophysiological changes in brain disease. Medical staff for decision-making cannot integrate the huge amount of clinical data generated every second and visualized on different monitors, anymore. Lack of data integration and usability is a major reason that only few of the knowledge physicians use in this field is evidence based. Early warning systems, powered by predictive algorithms that detect critical states before they happen would allow the staff to intervene early and mitigate or even prevent such a critical state.

Point of care testing is urgently required to enable the immediate detection of SARS-CoV-2 infection to allow effective transmission prevention precautions to succeed.
BioGaia AB
This study will explore how a well-known probiotic strain L. reuteri DSM 17938 impacts SARS-CoV-2 specific antibody response upon and after infection in healthy adults.

The primary objectives of this pilot study protocol are to assess safety and feasibility of using the geko™ device in COVID-19. Regarding safety to patients, we will measure the rate of adverse events, primarily local site irritation or discomfort. Feasibility will be measured on the basis of recruitment; ability to enroll sufficient number of patients meeting criteria. Protocol adherence will be observed as the ability to deliver the study intervention to the patients randomized to the treatment arm within the prescribed timeline and ability to complete the course of treatment. Additionally, we plan to measure patient outcomes such as ICU admission and death. The findings of this study have the potential to decrease the complications seen in COVID-19 infections.

Listening to breath sounds with the stethoscope/auscultation is used by pulmonary physicians in conjunction with pulmonary function, signs and symptoms, oxygen saturation and diagnostic testing to admit, follow and discharge patients from hospital. Of these, only auscultation routinely ceases upon discharge from Hospital. Healthcare utilization statistics have shown that for more than a decade, readmission after discharge for an exacerbation of COPD or severe asthma (or chronic heart failure) remains a major problem. The Strados System has been designed to extend the range of lung sound recording both geographically and temporally to improve the standard of care when access to continuous monitoring has been replaced by periodic or no monitoring. The primary purpose of this study is to assess the clinical utility of the Strados System in enabling periodic recording and reviewing of breath sounds in patients with chronic respiratory diseases, either in the ICU, or in less continuously monitored settings, including after inpatient discharge.

Coldamaris lozenges are a medical device containing 10 mg carrageenan/lozenge. The goal of the study is to determine whether the iota-carrageenan content in the saliva of subjects who sucked Coldamaris® lozenges is sufficient to inhibit the replication of 4 of the most common respiratory viruses causing common cold. At least 29 subjects will be screened, in order to get 24 subjects included.

This randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, single-dose escalation trial will be conducted to evaluate the safety, tolerability, immunogenicity, pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic characteristics of a single dose of MW33 injection at different doses given to healthy subjects to provide a basis for exploration of the therapeutic and preventive effects of MW33 against neocoronavirus in human.

This is a double-blind placebo controlled trial that seeks to evaluate the impact of melatonin and vitamin C on symptoms and outcomes of patients with COVID-19.

Most research on the coronavirus SARS-CoV-2 and COVID-19 disease relate to screening measures, development of vaccines and optimising treatment of hospitalised patients. It is likely that this pandemic will be ongoing for several years until a high level of immunity is reached in the population or a vaccine has been developed. Thus, there is a need of measures to help the SARS-CoV-2 infected individual at home to overcome the course of disease with less symptoms and strain. A Positive Expiratory Pressure (PEP) flute is feasible for home use and it is possible that regular use of PEP flute may prevent the progression of respiratory symptoms in non-hospitalized individuals with COVID-19 disease. The primary objective of the study is to examine the effect of PEP flute use among SARS-CoV-2 infected, non-hospitalized patients on self-reported change in COPD Assessment Test (CAT) score during 30 days of follow-up. The secondary objectives are to compare the development in hospitalization rates and use of antibiotics in the intervention group and the control group during the follow-up period.

Over 3 million teenagers in the USA have depression, and rates of depression and suicide are sharply increasing. Teenage depression has far-reaching consequences including impairments in academic and work performance and social and family relationships, substance abuse, and worsening of other health conditions, which can persist into adulthood. Access to mental health care for teenagers is limited due to a shortage of mental health providers and many teenagers and parents are reluctant to take antidepressants. COVID-19 and mandated physical and social distancing is expected to increase rates of teenage depression, and further limit access to traditional methods of care (e.g. psychotherapy). This highlights an urgent need to develop accessible, digital treatments for teenage depression to address the serious mental health impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic. This fully virtual study (https://www.limbix.com/spark) will compare the relative safety, effectiveness, and engagement of a mobile application based on cognitive behavioral therapy and behavioral activation (Limbix Spark), focusing on the idea that engaging in behaviors that are rewarding or provide a sense of mastery can be effective in reducing symptoms of depression. Limbix Spark will be compared to a mobile app containing educational material about depression (Psychoeducation).
