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.

The investigators plan to evaluate a strategy of chemoprophylaxis with hydroxyloquine (HCQ) against COVID-19 infection in patients diagnosed with an immunomediated inflammatory disease who are following a treatment with biological agents and / or Jak inhibitors. The strategy will be carried out through a randomised double blind, placebo-controlled clinical trial and will assess comparative rates of infection (prevalence, incidence), severity including mortality, impact on clínical course of the primary diseases and toxicity. Such evaluation will require prospective surveillance to assess the different end-points. Drug interventions in this protocol will follow the Spanish law about off-label use of medicines.

Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is a pandemic infection caused by a virus called severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). Because SARS-CoV-2 is known to require the angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE-2) receptor for uptake into the human body, there have been questions about whether medications that upregulate ACE-2 receptors might increase the risk of infection and subsequent complications. One such group of medications are anti-hypertensives that block the renin-angiotensin system, including both angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitors (ACEi) and angiotensin II receptor blockers (ARB). Both ACEi and ARB are widely used for the treatment of hypertension. Early reports from China and Italy suggest that many of those who die from COVID-19 have a coexisting history of hypertension. Consequently, there have been questions raised as to whether these 2 types of blood pressure medication might increase the risk of death among patients with COVID-19. However, it is well known that the prevalence of hypertension increases linearly with age. Therefore, it is possible that the high prevalence of hypertension and ACEi/ARB use among persons who die from COVID-19 is simply confounded by age (older people are at risk of both a history of hypertension and dying from COVID-19). Whether these commonly prescribed blood pressure medications increase the risk of COVID-19 or not remains unanswered. Statements from professional cardiology societies on both sides of the Atlantic have called for urgent research into this question. Our study aims to randomize patients with primary (essential) hypertension who are already taking ACEi/ARB to either switch to an alternative BP medication or continue with the ACEi/ARB that they have already been prescribed. Adults with compelling indications for ACEi/ARB will not be enrolled.

This is a multi-center, randomized controlled, superiority, open label trial. The objective of this trial is to evaluate the efficacy of HCQ in patients with newly diagnosed COVID-19 who have mild to moderate disease or at risk for complications. We aim to demonstrate decrease in progression to severe pneumonia and hospital related complications among patients who are treated with HCQ compared to patients who are not.
Bellerophon Therapeutics
This randomized, controlled trial will assess the efficacy and safety of pulsed iNO in subjects with COVID-19 who are hospitalized and require supplemental oxygen.

Despite worldwide efforts to contain, manage and treat Covid-19, the pandemic is continuing to spread. This calls for an urgent clinically-proven prophylaxis and therapeutic strategy. Recent developments on the use of traditional medicines in Covid-19 management has drawn enough attention to start several research studies. Based on the Indian Traditional Medicine, Ayurveda's community initiatives, preliminary studies, and our experiential knowledge on Covid-19 settings, we propose present study to prevent the development of COVID-19 symptoms in people who live or have come contact with an individual diagnosed with COVID-19.

The host response against the coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) appears to be mediated by a 'cytoquine storm' developing a systemic inflammatory mechanism and an acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), in the form of a bilateral pneumonitis, requiring invasive mechanical ventilation (IMV) in an important group of patients. In terms of preventing progression to the critical phase with the consequent need of admission to the intensive care units (ICU), it has been recently proposed that this inflammatory cytoquine-mediated process can be safely treated by a single course of ultra-low radiotherapy (RT) dose < 1 Gy. The main purpose of the study was to analyze the efficacy of ultra low-dose pulmonary RT, as an anti-inflammatory intention in patients with SARS-Cov-2 pneumonia with a poor or no response to standard medical treatment and without IMV.

Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is an infectious disease. Physical distancing is one of the most effective ways to reduce the spread of COVID-19, but this key prevention intervention may have adverse consequences on older adults living at home. Screening older adults living at home and at risk for adverse consequences of physical and social distancing is, therefore, a priority in order to prevent their occurrence. ESOGER ("Evaluation Social et GERiatrique") is a clinical tool designed to: 1) screen the risk-levels for adverse consequences related to COVID-19 physical distancing and 2) to continue appropriate preventive interventions in older adults living at home including frail older patients and older community dwellers. Experience cumulated during the past two weeks revealed that ESOGER could be improved, in order to be more effective and efficient for the prevention of adverse consequences related to COVID-19 physical distancing. This improvement is based on two key components: 1) Comments of Montreal ESOGER users and 2) Analysis of data. Because at this time no information is saved and stored, there is a need to save and store ESOGER information and create the ESOGER databank.

In this research study the investigators want to learn more about the potential benefit of radiation to the lung to improve the health of patients who are hospitalized with Coronavirus-19 (COVID-19) due to infection with a virus called SARS-CoV-2. This infection causes inflammation of the lung, which can make it difficult to breathe. As a result, patients may need supplemental oxygen or be placed on a ventilator. The investigators believe that low dose radiation therapy to the lung may reduce this inflammation and increase the likelihood that patients will need less oxygen support such as ventilation or supplemental oxygen, or be discharged from the hospital in fewer days, compared to without radiation therapy. The amount of radiation is much lower than what is typically used to treat other conditions such as cancer, although it is higher than the dose used for routine medical imaging.
