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.

COVID-19 has affected almost all countries in the world. Every other country is constantly working towards its treatment and development of vaccines, with little to no success so far. Recently, several regimens have been tried as antiviral medicine. Among these medicines, Favipiravir is considered a broad-spectrum antiviral with the spectrum of activity noted against a wide range of RNA viruses & a good oral antiviral drug with > 97% bioavailability. It has already proved its safety profile as it has received FDA indication for drug-resistant Influenza. There has been increasing evidence of favorable outcome against COVID-19 in terms of early viral clearance & quicker symptomatic relief however, most of these studies lack strong statistical significance & are not peer-reviewed. Subjects will be categorized into two arms based on the severity of infection due to COVID-19 defined by NMC guidelines. Each arm will have respective two groups as the study drug group and control group. Based on the sample size calculation, subjects will be stratified & randomly enrolled in the study after checking the eligibility criteria at the screening visit. About 276 mild patients will be recruited for this trial and 400 moderate patients (including 10% loss ). Study arm groups will receive a Favipiravir treatment of 1800 mg PO BID on day 1, then 800 mg PO BID from day 2 onwards and control groups will receive the same quantity of Placebo. Treatment will be continued till 5 days after for mild groups and 10 days for moderate groups. Eligible patients will be randomly assigned (1:1) to either Favipiravir or Placebo among mild cases; and Favipiravir or Remdesivir among moderate cases. Randomization will be stratified by age group (18 to 40 years, 40 to 60 years and 60 to 80 years) and co-morbidity. The permuted block (30 patients per block) randomization sequence, including stratification, will be prepared by a statistician using STATA-15 software. Eligible patients will be allocated to the respective arm and will receive individually numbered packs, according to the sequence order as informed by the hotline. Informed written consent will be taken from the participants before commencing the study. All safety data, patient's baseline, clinical outcome data, data from endpoints and variables should be reported by the clinician and his/her team in a pre-instructed case report form (CRF) via a designated website. It is our assumption that if the study results come favorable, Favipiravir, when used in mild or moderate cases, might prevent progression of the disease to higher severity, helps achieve viral clearance early so as to positively impact disease transmission in the community, increase the quality of life by quicker symptom recovery & decrease health burden by shortening the length of stay at the hospital. These findings can also be useful in international scenarios where the world is looking for innovative measures to curb COVID-19 infection. The study findings will be disseminated within and outside the country and will be published in peer-reviewed journals.

COVID-19 pandemic is currently affecting the globe. To date, there is no effective oral therapy against SARS-CoV2 infection. The investigators propose to test as a repurposing drug combination, a short course of tenofovir disoproxil and emtricitabine (TDF/FTC), as a proof-of-concept randomized open-label study to test its viral efficacy against SARS-CoV2.

In the course of Coronavirus Disease-19 (COVID-19) uncontrolled inflammation has been related to disease severity and unfavorable outcomes. Here, the investigators study the longitudinal changes of pro- and anti-inflammatory markers in a population of patients undergoing maintenance hemodialysis (HD) affected by COVID-19, evaluating the potential modulating effects of two different dialysis approaches

The pandemic caused by SARS-CoV-2 is a global emergency present in 6 continents including 66 countries, incurring a shortage of effective and safe therapeutic alternatives that can contribute to reducing the risk of contamination, as well as helping to reduce the viral load of the positive patient. This requires a coordinated, effective and immediate action on the part of governments, companies, academic entities and even at the individual level. In the search for new therapeutic and prevention alternatives, the application of hypochlorous acid (HClO) to the nasal mucosa is proposed, a broad-spectrum and fast-acting antimicrobial solution, whose safety has been proven in preclinical trials. The efficacy of HClO has been tested against enveloped and non-enveloped viruses, reducing virus particles without affecting human cells. This solution could contribute to reducing the viral load and the risk of contamination of patients and professionals. This could have an impact on controlling the COVID-19 pandemic.

Adult female and male patients, hospitalized with Covid-19 infection (confirmed by reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction [RT-PCR]), will be screened for participation in this prospective, multi-center, double-blind, randomised, placebo-controlled trial. Enrolled patients will be randomized (1:1) into 2 treatment groups: Group 1 will receive the active treatment with Amizon® Max (international nonproprietary name enisamium iodide), one capsule (each containing 500 mg of enisamium iodide) 4 times daily every 6 hours for 7 days; patients in treatment Group 2 will receive a matching placebo capsule, 4 times daily every 6 hours for 7 days. Patient observation and follow-up are planned for 29 days, unless discharged before Day 29. The effect of treatment on Covid-19 will be evaluated by time from day of randomization to an increase of at least two points (from the status at randomization) on the severity rating scale (SR), the Time to Clinical Recovery (TTCR) of main Covid-19 symptoms / complications and the Sum of Severity Rating from Day 2 to Day 15 (SSR-15). Safety and tolerability of the study drug will be evaluated based on the intensity and course of adverse events (Es). Enisamium iodide is an antiviral small molecule. Enisamium inhibits replication of alpha- and beta- coronaviruses (human coronavirus NL63 and SARS-CoV-2, respectively) and influenza virus A and B. Mechanism of action against SARS-CoV-2 includes the direct inhibition of the viral RNA polymerase.

This study is a 4-arm, multicenter, randomized, partly double- blind, controlled trial to evaluate the safety and efficacy of convalescent serum (CP) or camostat mesylate with control or placebo in adult patients diagnosed with SARS-CoV-2 and high risk for moderate/severe COVID-19. The working hypothesis to be tested in the RES-Q-HR study is that the early use of convalescent plasma (CP) or camostat mesylate (Foipan®) reduces the likelihood of disease progression to modified WHO stages 4b-8 in SARS-CoV-2 positive adult patients at high risk of moderate or severe COVID-19 progression. The primary endpoint of the study is the cumulative number of individuals who progressed to or beyond category 4b on the modified WHO (World Health Organization) COVID-19 ordinal scale within 28 days after randomization.
