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.

Several recent studies point to the possibility of the new coronavirus (SARS-Cov2), which currently causes pandemic COVID-19, to infiltrate the central nervous system (CNS) and cause primary damage to neural tissues, increasing the morbidity and mortality of these patients. A pathophysiological hypothesis for insulting the CNS would be the impairment of cerebral compliance (CC), because elevation of intracranial pressure (ICP), but due to the invasive nature of the methods available for ICP evaluation, this hypothesis has so far not been verified. Recently, a noninvasive technique was developed to evaluate CC (B4C sensor), making it possible to analyse CC in patients outside the neurosurgical environment. Therefore, the main objective of this study was to assess the presence of CC impairment in patients with COVID-19, and observe potential influences of this syndrome on cerebral hemodynamics.

This study aims to investigate outcomes and predictors of outcome after extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) therapy for severe acute respiratory syndrome (ARDS) in COVID-19 patients.
Bicetre Hospital
The outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) has been declared a public health emergency of international concern. Hospitalized COVID-19-positive patients requiring ICU care is increasing along with the course of epidemic. A large number of these patients developed acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) according to current data. However, the related hemodynamic characteristic has so far been rarely described.
University of Karachi
The clinical trial is designed to be randomized, double blind, placebo controlled, to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of Jinhua Qinggan granules (JHQG) on mild-category patients of COVID-19 in Pakistani population with the age limit of 18-75 years, at10th day comprehensive follow-up. The informed consent form must be signed by the subjects before their participation in the trial.

At present, in order to cope with the global pandemic of the COVID-19 virus, governments have introduced corresponding measures, COVID-19 lockdown is one of the most important measures. However, lockdown makes the management of chronic diseases (such as type 2 diabetes) more difficult, and telemedicine may be one of the solutions. We hope to explore the effect of telemedicine on blood glucose control and other prognostic indicators of young and middle-aged obese patients with type 2 diabetes who will experience isolation control.
Lucira Health Inc
To evaluate the performance of the FDA EUA authorized Lucira COVID-19 All-In-One Test Kit for the qualitative detection of SARS-CoV-2 virus in nasal swab samples as compared to a known high sensitivity EUA RT-PCR among asymptomatic individuals. The comparator assay for this study is the Hologic Panther Fusion SARS-CoV-2 RT-PCR Assay.

The main clinical manifestation associated with SARS-CoV-2 infection is an influenza-like illness that follows the infection of the respiratory tract. In a few percent of infected people, inflammation of the lungs leads to severe pneumonia that requires hospitalization, in intensive care units for the more severe cases. Despite intensive care, a fatal outcome occurs in 6% and 12% of women and men over 80 years of age hospitalized for severe COVID, respectively. Factors associated with a higher risk of death in patients with SARS-CoV-2 include age and low circulating lymphocyte counts. Significant lymphopenia is indeed frequently observed in patients with severe COVID-19 and both phenotypic and functional changes in antiviral T cells have been correlated with the severity of COVID-19. The thymus, the organ that produces T lymphocytes, undergoes progressive physiological involution with age. However, in the elderly, rare cases of thymic hyperplasia are reported in autoimmune diseases or cancers, or are observed in response to deep lymphopenia, whether or not associated with sepsis. This cohort of patients treated for a SARS-CoV-2 infection could allow to better understand the role of the thymus in this pathology.
Yaounde Central Hospital
This is an exploratory study to evaluate the efficacy of Doxycycline (200mg on D1 to D7) and Rivaroxaban (15 mg daily on D1 to D7) versus the combination of Hydroxychloroquine (400 mg on D1 to D7) and Azithromycin (500 mg on D1 and 250mg on D2 to D5) as per national standard to treat ambulatory mild COVID-19 patients, with the aim to achieve early negativity of RT-PCR of SARS-CoV-2 from nasopharyngeal swab, and early clinical improvement and prevention of severe disease.

The positive cases of coronavirus disease-2019 (COVID-19) in Indonesia has been increasing rapidly since the first case found in March 2020 to date. Coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) virus disrupts human normal immune system resulting in uncontrolled inflammatory response. Based on our research and experience in doing cell therapy for 9 years, activated platelet-rich plasma (PRP) produces anti-inflammatory effects in inflammatory condition that is beneficial for tissue regeneration. In this study, we aimed to evaluate the potential of autologous activated platelet-rich plasma (aaPRP) and the outcomes for treating severe Coronavirus Disease-2019 (COVID-19) patients in Intensive Care Unit (ICU).
