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.

Noble metals such as gold and silver have been appreciated for millennia not only for their beauty but also for their ability to fight diseases. Silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) have been employed as chemical drugs thanks to their unique physiochemical and chemical properties as well as biological features, such as anti-inflammatory, anti-angiogenesis, antiplatelet, antifungal, anti-cancer and antibacterial activities I

Chinese medicine has been used for thousands of years in the treatment of epidemic diseases. Through the long-term struggle with the epidemic, Investigators have accumulated and explored a lot of prevention and control experience. According to recent reports, Chinese medicine plays an important role in the treatment of COVID-19. For example. Therefore, it is of great clinical significance to further develop the prevention of COVID-19 by Chinese medicine. According to the 《Diagnosis and treatment of COVID-19》published by National Health Committee and the experience of professional TCM physician, although the disease is generally susceptible, individuals with the body constitution of "deficiency of Qi and Yang" and "deficiency of Qi and Yin" are more prefer to suffer from COVID-19. Therefore, "Invigorating Qi and Yang, invigorating qi and Yin" can be regarded as the primary strategy of preventing COVID-19. Therefore, "Invigorating Qi and Yang, invigorating qi and Yin" can be regarded as the primary strategy of preventing COVID-19 in Chinese medicine. After a series of questionnaire surveys and blood sample collection, investigators can estimate subjects with body constitution is more likely to infect COVID-19.

This phase II trial studies the effects of ibrutinib in treating patients with B-cell malignancies who are infected with COVID-19. Ibrutinib may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Ibrutinib is a first in class Bruton tyrosine kinase inhibitor (BTKi), for the treatment of B-cell malignancies. This study is being done to determine if taking ibrutinib after contracting COVID-19 will make symptoms better or worse.

Small molecule inhibitors have previously been investigated in different studies as possible therapeutics in the treatment of SARS-CoV-2. In the current drug repurposing study, the investigators identified the leukotriene (D4) receptor antagonist Montelukast as a novel agent that simultaneously targets two important drug targets of SARS-CoV-2. The investigators initially demonstrated the dual inhibition (main protease and Spike/ACE2) profile of Montelukast through multiscale molecular modeling studies. Next, the investigators characterized its effect on both targets by different in vitro experiments including the Fluorescent Resonance Energy Transfer (FRET)-based main protease enzyme inhibition assay, surface plasmon resonance (SPR) spectroscopy, pseudovirus neutralization on HEK293T / hACE2, and virus neutralization assay using xCELLigence MP real time cell analyzer.

Phase 2 ,double blind, randomized study of therapy with Angiotensin 1-7 in COVID-19 patients. 120 confirmed SARS-CoV-2 infected patients who exhibit moderate- clinical symptoms including dyspnea, cough and fever, hospitalized in the KETER department in several hospitals in Israel, will be enrolled. 60 patients will receive Ang 1-7 subcutaneously 500 mcg/kg /day. 60 patients will receive placebo : NaCl 0.9% 2 ml -control arm . Treatment duration: 14 days or until clinical improvement that enables discharge from hospital. (the shortest time will be the limiting factor in treatment duration). Follow-up-30 days. 14-30 days after discharge from hospital: we will contact the patient via phone to ask questions related to any possible adverse reaction to the drug and general health.

The world is currently experiencing a coronavirus (CoV-2) pandemic. A new (SARS)-CoV infection epidemic began in Wuhan, Hubei, China, in late 2019; originally called 2019- nCoV the virus is now known as SARSCoV- 2 and the disease it causes COVID-19. Previous CoV epidemics included severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS)-CoV, which started in China in 2003 and Middle East respiratory syndrome (MERS)-CoV in the Middle East, which started in 2012. The mortality rates were >10% for SARS and >35% for MERS. The direct cause of death is generally due to ensuing severe atypical pneumonia and ensuing acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). Pneumonia also is generally the cause of death for people who develop influenza, although the mortality rate is lower (1%-3% for the influenza A H5N1 pandemic of 1918-1919 in the United States). Risk factors for a poor outcome of SARS-CoV-2 infection have so far been found to include older age and co-morbidities including chronic cardiovascular and respiratory conditions and current smoking status. In May 2020, the FDA authorized the emergency use of remdesivir for treatment of COVID-19 disease based on topline date of two clinical trials, even though an underpowered clinical trial did not find significant improvement in COVID- 19 patients treated with remdesivir. Nevertheless, remdesivir is the first and so far, only approved treatment for COVID-19. Additionally further trials and clinical observations have not found a significant benefit of other antiviral drugs. Although the results of several studies are still pending, there is still a desperate need for an effective, safe treatment for COVID-19. Aviptadil, which is a synthetic form of Human Vasoactive Intestinal Polypeptide (VIP), might be beneficial in patients at risk of developing ARDS. Nonclinical studies demonstrate that VIP is highly concentrated in the lung, where it reduces inflammation.

Several patients with hypoxaemic SARS-CoV2 pneumonia were able to benefit from hyperbaric oxygen treatment (HBOT) in China. In a clinical case published in the Chinese journal of hyperbaric medicine, treatment with repeated HBO sessions prevented admission to intensive care unit with mechanical ventilation in a patient aged 69 who presented with signs of respiratory decompensation. HBOT is the most powerful oxygenation modality in the body today. HBOT can dramatically increase the amount of dissolved oxygen in the blood. HBOT not only promotes blood transport but also its tissue delivery. Furthermore, HBOT has specific immunomodulatory properties, both humoral and cellular, making it possible, for example, to reduce the intensity of the inflammatory response and to stimulate antioxidant defenses by repeating sessions. A virucidal capacity of HBOT might also be involved. HBOT is generally regarded as safe with very few adverse events. Following this feedback, it is proposed in the context of crisis management related to SARS-CoV2 to assess the value of HBO treatment of patients with CoV2 pneumonia. Indeed, it seems essential to propose therapeutic strategies to limit the risk of respiratory decompensation requiring admission to intensive care unit for patients with SARS-CoV2 pneumonia.
