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.

By using recent data on hospital attendance and COVID-19 laboratory tests, available within two NHS trusts in Nottingham and Cardiff we will enable the calculation of the risk of developing COVID-19 infection after attending an outpatient hospital appointment. This will assist in the restart planning when resuming face to face outpatient radiology appointment.

Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome-Corona Virus-2 infection results in a mild infection in most of the patients. However, 15-20% require hospitalization, and among them, 15-20% will develop acute respiratory failure, leading to their admission in Intensive Care Unit. There are no accepted predictive criteria for aggravation. Severe forms of Coronavirus induced disease-19 (COVID-19) are the consequence of endotheliopathy, and hyperinflammatory and pro-coagulant state. The Triggering Receptor Expressed on Myeloid cells-1 (TREM-1) is an immunoreceptor that acts as an amplifier of the inflammatory response. TREM-1 is expressed on myeloid and endothelial cells. Its activation leads to endothelial activation and damage, hyperinflammatory, and pro-coagulant state. TREM-1 activation is associated with poor outcome during septic shock and myocardial infarction. We here aim at investigating the relationship between TREM-1 pathway activation and clinical degradation and outcome of COVID-19 hospitalized patients.

This is an open-label, interventional exploratory study to evaluate the safety and efficacy of 5-ALA-Phosphate + SFC in subjects with acute moderate or severe respiratory illness secondary to infection with SARS-CoV-2 virus (COVID-19) involving 40 subjects. The primary objective is to evaluate the safety of 4-week oral administration of 5-ALAPhosphate + SFC. This study is expected to last for 4 weeks and will include follow-up until day 28 in the hospital or in an outpatient setting if the subjects are discharged earlier.

The study is designed as an open observational non-comparative study of Polyoxidonium®, lyophilizate for solution for injections and topical application, 12 mg in hospitalized patients with coronavirus disease (COVID-19).

Hero-19 aims to evaluate if an intensive anticoagulation strategy using Edoxaban on top of standard of care (SOC) of COVID-19 therapy is superior to SOC (in-hospital moderate anticoagulation strategy = low-dose low-molecular weight heparin [LMWH], ambulatory no anticoagulation, i.e. placebo within this trial) in reduction of morbidity and mortality endpoints in patients with COVID-19.

The new SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus is an emerging virus originating in Wuhan, China that has spread rapidly throughout the world. As of March 24, 2020, China had reported 81,767 cases with 3,281 deaths, and the World Health Organization (WHO) declared coronavirus 19 (COVID-19) a pandemic. COVID-19 disease is currently a pandemic without specific therapeutic agents and substantial mortality. So it is of utmost importance to find new treatments. Various therapies, such as Remdesivir and Favipiravir, are being investigated but the antiviral efficacy of these drugs is not yet known. The use of convalescent plasma was used as an empirical treatment during the Ebola virus outbreaks in 2014 and in 2015 a protocol was established for the treatment of the Middle East respiratory syndrome coronavirus (MERS) with convalescent plasma. This approach with other viral infections such as SARS-CoV, H5N1 avian influenza and H1N1 influenza suggesting that plasma transfusion from convalescent donors was effective. For this study, plasma from convalescent donors will be collected from those donors who have recovered from SARS-CoV-2 and are between 10 and 14 days after illness. Immunoassays will be carried out to detect total IgM and IgG antibodies against SARS-CoV-2. Patients will receive 1 to 3 convalescent plasma transfusions, depending on the response to treatment. The expected results are: normal body temperature, decrease in viral load or negative between 10-12 days after transfusion of convalescent plasma, which does not progress to ARDS, extubation of mechanical ventilation within two weeks of treatment, recovery of patient.

Although direct evidence is currently lacking, the high identity between SARS-CoV-1 and SARS-CoV-2 suggests, that the latter viral strain could also infect the Central Nervous System (CNS). Indeed, some cases of SARS-COV2 encephalitis begin to be described and CNS damages are increasingly highlighted in the literature, but still not objectified by imaging and do not allow to explain the entire clinical patterns. We hypothesise that these CNS damages are not always objectified by Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) but could be indirectly observed by a physiological dysfunction of neural conduction in the brainstem. We will explore brainstem disruption through an electrophysiological approach.

This was a phase IIa, double-blind, placebo-controlled, randomized trial, designed to compare the safety, tolerability, and antiviral activity of EIDD-2801 (molnupiravir) versus placebo as measured by SARS-CoV-2 viral RNA detection in symptomatic adult outpatients with COVID-19.

This is a prospective, epidemiological, cohort study to assess the feasibility of screening healthy asymptomatic workers for the presence of severe acute respiratory syndrome SARS-CoV-2 by pharyngeal swaps and serology at baseline, day 21 and day 40.

Considering that the intensity of systemic microvascular changes in patients in the acute phase of COVID-19 could be related to disease progression and prognosis, the present cross-sectional and observational study aims to investigate the presence of endothelial dysfunction in these patients, also looking for to evaluate associations between the presence of endothelial dysfunction and demographic, clinical and laboratory variables.
