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.

In this clinical study we confirm that combination of isotretinoin and All trans retinoic acid can be used in the treatment of SARS-COV-2 better than vaccine according to the findings of previous studies and researches. Retenoic acid can induce neutralizing antibodies in case of corona virus (COVID-19) by restoring inhebited and exhausted T cells via inhebiting both CD13 and Angiotensin-converting enzyme-2 (ACE2). CD13 amyloid receptor which abundantly overexpressed on cell surface of lymphocyte, Dentritic cell, Macrophage, granulocytes and monocytes and is ubiquitous in respiratory tract epithelial cells, smooth muscle cells, fibroblasts, epithelial cells in the kidneys and small intestine, activated endothelial cells, and platelets In addition inhibing of Angiotensin-converting enzyme-2 (ACE2) , Angiotensin T1 protein and Angiotensin II-mediated intracellular calcium release pathway which is responsible for COVID-19 cell fusion and entry.ACE2-expressing cells are prone to SARS-CoV-2 infection as ACE2 receptor facilitates cellular viral entry and replication. A study demonestrated that patients with hypertension and diabetes mellitus may be at higher risk of SARS-CoV-2 infection, as these patients are often treated with ACE inhibitors (ACEIs) or angiotensin II type-I receptor blockers (ARBs), which have been previously suggested to increase ACE2 expression.Butisotretinoin was found to be the strongest down-regulator of ACE 2 receptors.and this will give hope for diabetic patients or patients with hypertension infected with COVID-19.Therefore we suggest that Retinoic Acid will help in inhabiting factors which may enhance antibody dependent enhancement (ADE), A phenomenon caused by covid-19 which expected to lead to failure of vaccination specially in case of corona virus (covid-19) as a hyper mutatated COVID-19 antigens can lead to (ADE) phenomenon in which IgG antibodies facilitate viral entry and fusion with infected cell through uptake of the virus-IgG complex via the Fc receptors and later viral fusion with antigen presenting cells like Dentric cells, macrophages and B cells via FcR , through the neonatal FcR instead of antibodies induced viral agglutination and this is known as antibody dependent enhancement (ADE)(2) ADE can hamper vaccine development, as a vaccine may cause the production of antibodies which, via ADE, worsen the disease the vaccine is designed to protect against. ADE in COVID-19 infection can be caused by high mutation rate of the gene that encodes spike (S) protein. In this clinical study we suggest that Hyper mutated spike protein ,lymphopenia, and impaired dentreic cells all these factors can help in and lead to delayed antibodies response and appearing after a period of covid -19 symptoms onset and this may be responsible for antibody dependent enhancement (ADE) Keywords: COVID 2019 , Retinoic acid, Lymphopenia ,T Cells, Dentric cells , ADE, Vaccine
Amyndas Pharmaceuticals S.A.
The study is a prospective, randomized, placebo-controlled, single-blind phase 2 clinical study of the efficacy and safety of AMY-101, a potent C3 inhibitor, for the management of patients with ARDS caused by SARS-CoV-2 infection. We will assess the efficacy and safety, as well as pharmacokinetics (PK), and pharmacodynamics (PD). The study will assess the impact of AMY-101 in patients with severe COVID19; specifically, it will assess the impact of AMY-101 1) on survival without ARDS and without oxygen requirement at day 21 and 2) on the clinical status of the patients at day 21.
Atea Pharmaceuticals, Inc.
The objectives of this study are to evaluate the safety, tolerability, antiviral activity and efficacy of AT-527 in adult subjects ≥18 years of age with moderate COVID-19 and risk factors for poor outcomes (such as obesity (BMI>30), hypertension, diabetes or asthma). Eligible subjects will be randomized to blinded AT-527 (nucleotide analog) tablets or matching placebo tablets to be administered orally for 5 days. Part A will evaluate an AT-527 dose of 550 mg BID and Part B will evaluate a second dose of AT-527 (1100 mg BID). Local supportive standard of care (SOC) will be allowed for all subjects. Efficacy, antiviral activity and safety observations will be compared for treatment with active AT-527 tablets vs. placebo tablets.

COVID-19 is a global pandemic. So far encouraging results have been shown in different parts of the world with the utilisation of hydroxycloroquine, zinc, and azithromycin, and early studies into some of these, plus some with Vitamin C, have also proven beneficial. Vitamin D levels have also been shown to be an important indicator to the severity of symptoms in COVID-19 patients.

There is urgent need of an effective therapy for Covid-19. To date, the best treatment of SARS-CoV-2 infection is unknown. Baricitinib has been identified as potential treatment for 2019-nCoV acute respiratory disease, because of its immunomodulating and hypothesized antiviral activity. This is a multicenter randomized clinical trial that aims to evaluate the efficacy and safety of baricitinib in patients with SARS-CoV2 pneumonia. Patients will be randomized to receive or not baricitinib as adjunctive therapy. All patients will continue to receive the ongoing standard therapy: chloroquine/idrossichloroquine and low-molecular weight heparin (LMWH) eventually associated with ritonavir/lopinavir or darunavir/ritonavir will be allowed for all included patients. The primary endpoint measure is the efficacy of baricitinib in reducing the number of patients requiring invasive ventilation after 7 and 14 days of treatment. Secondary endpoints will be mortality rates and toxicity of baricitinib.
