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 purpose of this study is to assess whether lopinavir/ritonavir (or eventually other antiviral drugs) is effective at reducing the rate of hospitalization among confirmed COVID-19 cases treated as outpatients.
Assistance Publique - Hôpitaux de Paris
The objective of the research is to study the expression of the ACE 2 receptor and the TMPRSS2 serine protease in the tonsils and adenoids of children and adults.
Boehringer Ingelheim
This is a study in adults with severe breathing problems because of COVID-19. People who are in hospital on breathing support can participate in the study. The purpose of the study is to find out whether a medicine called alteplase helps people get better faster. The study has 2 parts. In the first part, participants are put into 3 groups by chance. Participants in 2 of the groups get 2 different doses of alteplase, in addition to standard treatment. Participants in the third group get standard treatment. In the second part of the study, participants are put into 2 groups by chance. One group gets alteplase and standard treatment. The other group gets only standard treatment. Alteplase is given as an infusion into a vein. In both study parts, treatments are given for 5 days. Doctors monitor patients and check whether their breathing problems improve. They compare results between the groups after 1 month. Participants are in the study for 3 months.
University Hospital Bispebjerg and Frederiksberg
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effect of the ganglion sphenopalatine block (SPG block) on persistent headache following acute COVID-19 infection.

Northwestern University
This is a single-center, randomized double blind placebo controlled trial to evaluate the efficacy and safety of novel PAI-1 inhibitor (TM5614) for high-risk patients hospitalized with severe COVID-19 at Northwestern Memorial Hospital. The patients will be randomized in a 1:1 ratio to receive standard of care plus TM5614 or standard of care plus placebo.

The current COVID-19 epidemic threatens to overwhelm the capacity of many countries to meet their populations' health care needs. Although several vaccines specific for SARS-CoV-2 have been or are being developed, these require testing in animal and human safety studies and they are unlikely to be available during the expected peak periods of the growing epidemic. Two groups at especially high risk of infection and disease are front line health care workers working directly with COVID-19 patients and elderly residents of group homes or facilities that provide skilled nursing care to this frail population. Interim measures to protect these groups while we await a high efficacy vaccine are desperately needed. Based on the capacity of BCG to (1) reduce the incidence of respiratory tract infections in children and adults; (2) exert antiviral effects in experimental models; and (3) reduce viremia in an experimental human model of viral infection, we hypothesize that BCG vaccination may induce (partial) protection against susceptibility to and/or severity of SARS-CoV-2 infection. This study will evaluate the efficacy of BCG to reduce risk of infection by SARS-CoV-2 and mitigate COVID-19 disease severity in at risk health care providers. A phase III randomized controlled trial provides the highest validity to answer this research question. Given the immediate threat of the SARS-CoV-2 epidemic the trial has been designed as a pragmatic study with a highly feasible primary endpoint, which can be continuously measured. This allows for the most rapid identification of a beneficial outcome that would allow other at-risk individuals, including the control population, to also benefit from the intervention if and as soon as it has demonstrated efficacy and safety.
Laboratorios Silanes S.A. de C.V.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of metformin glycinate at dose of 620 mg twice per day plus standard treatment comparing to standard treatment alone (we will use placebo) of patients who have metabolic syndrome or type 2 diabetes, which have severe acute respiratory syndrome secondary to SARS-CoV-2.
Profact, Inc.
This is a platform study to investigate the effectiveness of a variety of non-prescription approaches for the treatment of non-hospitalized adults recently tested positive for COVID-19.
FSD Pharma, Inc.
This study will measure the effect of FSD201 (ultramicronized PEA) + SoC vs placebo + SoC on Day 28, on disease progression in the confirmed coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) patient population.
