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 new Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2) named coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is currently responsible for a pandemic spread of febrile respiratory infections, responsible for a veritable global health crisis. In adults, several evolutionary patterns are observed: i) a/pauci-symptomatic forms; ii) severe forms immediately linked to rare extensive viral pneumonia; and iii) forms of moderate severity, some of which progress to secondary aggravation (Day 7-Day 10). Children can be affected, but are more rarely symptomatic and severe pediatric forms are exceptional. Like some other coronaviruses (SARS-CoV and Middle East respiratory syndrome coronavirus (MERS-CoV)), these differences in clinical expression could be based on a variability in the immunological response, notably either via inhibition of the type I interferon (IFN-I) response, or on the contrary an immunological dysregulation responsible for a "cytokine storm" associated with the aggravation. Little is known about the impact of these innate immune response abnormalities on the adaptive response. In addition, certain genetic factors predisposing to a state of "hyper-fragility" and certain viral virulence factors could also be predictive of the clinical response. In this context, the main hypothesis is that the virological analysis and the initial biological and immunological profiles are correlated with the initial clinical presentation of COVID-19 infection. In particular, children forms and pauci-symptomatic disease in adults may be linked to a more robust innate immune response, including better production of IFN-I.

This is a single arm phase II trial to assess efficacy and confirm safety of infusions of anti-SARS-CoV-2 convalescent plasma in hospitalized patients with acute respiratory symptoms,with or without confirmed interstitial COVID-19 pneumonia by chest Xray or CT. A total of 29 eligible subjects will be enrolled to receive anti-SARS-CoV-2 plasma.Outcomes will be compared to hospitalized controls with confirmed COVID-19 disease through retrospective chart review.

This is a multi-arm, phase II trial for rapid efficacy and toxicity assessment of multiple therapies immediately after COVID19 positive testing in high-risk individuals. Therapies include stand-alone or combination treatment with hydroxychloroquine, azithromycin, ivermectin, or camostat mesilate, artemesia annua. The hypothesis of this study is that the addition of agents that inhibit viral entry or replication of SARS-CoV-2 virus replication in will be devoid of additional moderate to severe toxicities, will prevent clinical deterioration, and will improve viral clearance in high risk individuals.

In early 2020 the evolving COVID-19 Pandemic provided the world and medical community with a generational challenge. As a novel disease, countries were left with strategic decisions and many went into social lockdown. Initial resources and research were directed at upscaling internal medicine and intensive care services, understanding the disease pathophysiology, and testing treatments. It soon became evident that COVID-19 had multi-system effects at it's worst. In orthopaedics one of the most vulnerable groups to COVID-19 were the elderly, specifically those who suffered fractured neck of femur at this time. More literature is needed urgently if we are to understand and mitigate the negative impacts in this group of patients. This observational study assesses the early morbidity and mortality of patients with this diagnosis during the evolving COVID-19 Pandemic.

This is an interventional, pilot, multicenter, randomized, open-label, phase 2 study, enrolling patients with COVID-19 disease. One-month rate of entering the critical stage (either a. Respiratory failure occurs and requires mechanical ventilation; b. Patients combined with other organ failure need ICU monitoring and treatment; c. Death) is the primary endpoint.
London Health Sciences Centre
The research team is investigating administering exogenous surfactant in COVID-19 patients with ARDS. The overall goal is to improve the outcome (mortality) of mechanically ventilated COVID-19 patients. Although the investigators anticipate that clinical outcomes may improve in the small group of patients receiving exogenous surfactant therapy in this small, single center study, the primary goal is to first determine feasibility and safety.

This protocol will evaluate the efficacy of Therapeutic Plasma Exchange (TPE) alone or in combination with ruxolitinib in COVID positive patients with PENN grade 2, 3, 4 cytokine release syndrome (CRS). It is hypothesized that dual intervention of acute apheretic depletion of cytokines and concomitant suppression of production will produce superior amelioration of the cytokine load and to help to prevent cytokine load rebound. This protocol is envisioned as a pilot study (n=20) for hypothesis generation for future investigation.
Novartis Pharmaceuticals
This clinical study was designed to assess the efficacy and safety of DFV890 for the treatment of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-Cov-2) infected patients with coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pneumonia and impaired respiratory function.

In the context of COVID-19 pandemic, a report on ivermectin suppression of SARS-CoV-2 viral replication in cell cultures has been published, and the use of this medication seems to be potentially useful for the therapy. IVM safety profile and IVM wide spectrum enables to move forward with the investigation in patients infected by SARS-CoV-2 as a proof-of-concept of its possible use in the management of patients with COVID-19, given the current pandemic situation.
