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.

The investigators hypothesize that early institution of TNFα inhibitor therapy in patients with severe COVID-19 infections will prevent further clinical deterioration and reduce the need for advanced cardiorespiratory support and early mortality. To address this hypothesis, a prospective, single center, phase 2 trial is proposed to assess the efficacy of infliximab or infliximab-abda in hospitalized adult patients with severe or critical COVID-19. Observations from this study will inform the conduct of prospective randomized controlled studies to follow.

This will be a phase 1a randomized, open label, multi-center study with approximately 24 subjects. All subjects will receive standard of care (SOC) per institutional guidelines for treatment of hospitalized patients with COVID-19 infection. In addition to SOC, the brequinar group will receive 5 daily doses of brequinar 100 mg.

The primary objectives are: Pooled Phase 3 (Cohort 1) and Phase 2 (Cohort 1A) - To evaluate the virologic efficacy of REGN10933+REGN10987 compared to placebo in reducing viral load of SARS-CoV-2 - To evaluate the clinical efficacy of REGN10933+REGN10987 compared to placebo, as measured by death or mechanical ventilation Phase 1/2 (Cohort 1) - To exclude futility of REGN10933+REGN10987 compared to placebo, as measured by death or mechanical ventilation - To evaluate the safety and tolerability of REGN10933+REGN10987 compared to placebo

The associated use of Ivermectin, aspirin, dexamethasone, and enoxaparin (in different combinations and doses) will reduce the impact of COVID infection 19, the need of admission to the intensive care unit, and mortality.

Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) is a disease caused by the Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) virus. It was first isolated in Wuhan, China in December 2019 and then rapidly spread to the rest of the world posing a severe threat to global health. Many therapeutics have been investigated for the treatment of this disease with inconclusive outcomes. Protease inhibitors are one of the proposed agents, but their use is limited to their significant drug interactions and side effects. The aim of this study is to compare the efficacy and safety outcomes of Darunavir/Cobicistat versus Lopinavir /Ritonavir in the treatment of patients with COVID-19 pneumonia in Qatar.
Eli Lilly and Company
The purpose of this study is to measure how well LY3819253 and LY3832479 work against the virus that causes COVID-19. LY3819253 and LY3832479 will be given to participants with early symptoms of COVID-19. Samples will be taken from the back of the nose to determine how much virus is in the body at various times during the study. Participation could last about 12 weeks and includes one required visit to the study site, with the remainder of assessments performed in the home or by phone. Pediatric participants, with mild to moderate COVID-19 illness, will enroll in a single-arm (Arm 23), open-label addendum to evaluate the pharmacokinetics and safety of LY3853113. Enrollment began on August 19, 2022 and completed on February 21, 2023.

To date no specific treatment has been proven to be effective for Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 (SARS-Cov-2) infection. It is possible that convalescent plasma that contains antibodies to SARS-Cov-2 might be effective against the progression of infection. Promising results have been shown by preliminary data from China cases. The investigators planned to compare effectiveness of adding COVID-19 convalescent plasma to standard therapy protocol (STP) versus adding plasma donated in pre-COVID era versus STP alone in patient with COVID-19 within 5 days from the onset of respiratory distress. STP at enrolment is the best evidence based therapy approved for treatment of COVID patients by regional Health system emergency committee.

Estimation of the prevalence and contagiousness of undocumented novel coronavirus infections is critical for understanding the overall prevalence and pandemic potential of this disease. It is estimated that 86% of all infections were undocumented [95% credible interval (CI): 82-90%] before the 23 January 2020 travel restrictions. The transmission rate of undocumented infections per person was 55% the transmission rate of documented infections (95% CI: 46-62%), yet, because of their greater numbers, undocumented infections were the source of 79% of the documented cases. Ivermectin + Carrageenan, taking advantage of their virucidal effects, are aimed at reducing the contagion.
Hospital Alemão Oswaldo Cruz
In December 2019, a group of patients with pneumonia of unknown cause was identified in Wuhan, in the Hubei province, China. Despite the need of target specific therapeutic options for COVID-19, until now there is no proof of effectiveness of any specific intervention. Some limited observational trials and also evidence from randomized trials have shown no benefit of hydroxychloroquine in inpatient context. Thus, studies evaluating interventions in an outpatient setting in non-severe patients can provide important information related to prognosis and safety. In this way, the present study will evaluate the effectiveness and safety of the use of hydroxychloroquine in COVID-19 outpatients by means of a Randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial

Corona virus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is caused by SARS-CoV-2, a plus-sense single-stranded RNA virus. After an incubation period, which typically lasts for 5-6 days, COVID-19 patients present with a mild illness that lasts for a few days. Common symptoms are reminiscent of the flu, and include fever, dry cough and dyspnea. A large percentage of patients resolve the infection whereas others progress onto adult respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) which impedes gas exchange between the alveolar space and the bloodstream and creates the need for assisted respiration. The objective of this study is to investigate the safety and efficacy of CARDIO supplementation in the recovery of those with COVID-19 infection following the guidance from public health by reducing the need for mechanical respiratory support, alleviating respiratory symptoms and reducing mortality.
