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.

New coronavirus infection is an important cause of public health emergencies at home and abroad, which seriously affects people's health and social stability. The outbreak of SRAR-COV in China in 2003 caused serious social impact. From January 2002 to August 7, 2003, there were a total of 8,422 cases worldwide, involving 32 countries and regions, of which 919 cases were fatal, with a fatality rate of nearly 11%. The fatality rate of elderly patients and patients with underlying diseases was even more high.There is no precise and effective treatment for coronavirus infection. In vitro, IFN-α2β has inhibitory effects on MERS-CoV and closely related coronavirus severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) -CoV. A study showed the effects of interferon-α2β and ribavirin on the replication of nCoV isolates hCoV-EMC / 2012 in Vero and LLC-MK2 cells. The combined application may be useful for the management of patients with nCoV infection in the future. At present, the combination therapy of interferon α2β and ribavirin has been successfully applied in the initial treatment and prevention of SARS and MERS.The purpose of this study was to evaluate the efficacy and safety of recombinant human interferon α1β in treating patients with new coronavirus infection in Wuhan.

In December 2019,a new type of pneumonia caused by the coronavirus (COVID-2019) broke out in Wuhan ,China, and spreads quickly to other Chinese cities and 28 countries. More than 70000 people were infected and over 2000 people died all over the world.There is no specific drug treatment for this disease. This study is planned to observe the efficacy and safety of Huaier granule in the adjuvant treatment COVID-19.

The novel coronavirus infectious disease ( COVID-19") induced by novel coronavirus(SARS-CoV-2) in December 2019 has outbreaked in Wuhan. It may lead to epidemic risk in global. As the COVID-19 is an emerging infectious disease, it has not scientifically recognized and has no effective drugs for treatment currently. Therefore, we will launch a scientific project "The efficacy and safety of carrimycin treatment in 520 patients with COVID-19 stratificated clinically: A multicenter, randomized (1:1), open-controlled (one of lopinavir/ritonavir tablets or Arbidol or chloroquine phosphate) study" . We try to establish the criteria for clinical cure and the early predictive model of COVID-19 progression. The primary efficiency outcomes were:(1) Fever to normal time (day); (2) Pulmonary inflammation resolution time (HRCT) (day); and (3)Negative conversion (%) of SARS-CoV-2 RNA at the end of treatment. The secondary efficiency outcomes and adverse events were observed.

This is an open-label, randomized, blank-controlled treatment clinical study. The objective of this study is to investigate the effect of T89 on improving oxygen saturation and clinical symptoms in patients with Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19). In this study, estimated total of 120-240 male and female patients who have been diagnosed with non-critical type of coronavirus pneumonia (COVID-19) will be enrolled and randomly assigned to one of two study groups, the T89 treatment group and the blank control group, to T89 or nothing on the base of a recommended standard treatment for up to 14 days . The primary efficacy parameters include the time to oxygen saturation recovery to normal level (≥97%), the proportion of patients with normal level of oxygen saturation after treatment, and the total duration of oxygen inhalation, oxygen flow change by time, oxygen concentration change by time during treatment.

The acute lung injury caused by SARS and 2003 were both related to the inflammatory cytokine storm in patients. The biochemical test showed abnormal increase in related indicators such as interleukin-8, and CT images showed a medical "white" lung". According to the experience of SARS treatment in 2003, the use of hormones will indeed help the patients to alleviate their illness, but patients who survived SARS either had too much hormone at that time and took too long. Although the lungs could recover, but the femoral head was necrotic Either the amount of hormones was very conservative at the time, which kept the lungs in the storm of inflammatory factors, leading to the emergence of irreversible pulmonary fibrosis. So is there a medicine that can anti-inflammatory, reduce the load of hormone use, and have the effect of treating and preventing pulmonary fibrosis complicated by severe viral lung? At present, pirfenidone has achieved encouraging results in the treatment of idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis (CTD-ILD) diseases. It is particularly encouraging that the values announced at the 2019 ATS Annual Conference suggest that pirfenidone has more anti-inflammatory and anti-oxidant effects than its own outstanding anti-fibrotic ability. The data shows early use, Its strong anti-SOD activity can effectively inhibit IL-1beta and IL-4, and can open the prevention mode of pulmonary interstitial fibrosis. Based on the above, this project intends to make the following scientific assumptions: based on the homology of the pathogens of the new coronavirus-infected pneumonia and the coronavirus infection of pneumonia in 2003, the similarities in the occurrence and development of the disease, that is, the pulmonary inflammatory storm occurs first, and thereafter The progress of fibrosis and the progressive decline of lung function and mortality are higher than those of ordinary pneumonia. We hope that by adding pirfenidone as a treatment program in addition to standard treatment, it will be a new and severe type of coronavirus infection. Patient clinical treatment provides an effective and practical method.
