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.

Beyond supportive care, there are currently no proven therapeutic options for pneumonia due to coronavirus disease (COVID-19), the infection caused by Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). Human convalescent plasma is an option for treatment of COVID-19 and will be available when sufficient numbers of people have recovered. Such persons should have high titer neutralizing immunoglobulin-containing plasma.

A Phase 2 study to evaluate the safety and preliminary efficacy of ATYR1923, compared to placebo, in hospitalized patients with SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19) severe pneumonia not requiring mechanical ventilation
Octapharma
The purpose of this research is to see if Intravenous Immunoglobulin (IVIG) can help reduce respiratory complications (respiratory failure and need for a ventilator) caused by coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). The principal investigator has successfully utilized IVIG for patients infected with the influenza virus. The investigator wants to find out if IVIG is equally effective in COVID-19 infection patients, and if IVIG will give the immune system some help to clear the infection naturally.
United States Department of Defense
The purpose of this research is to find out if a drug (sargramostim) also known as Leukine® could help patient recover faster from COVID-19. Sargramostim may help the lungs recover from the effects of COVID-19, and this research study will help to find this out.

The recent inception of the coronavirus SARS-CoV-2, responsible for the coronavirus disease (COVID-19), has caused thousands of deaths globally. The most frequently reported complications among COVID-19 patients are from respiratory involvement. Vitamin D has immunomodulatory effects that could protect against COVID-19 infection. Indeed, there is good evidence from randomized clinical trials suggesting that high doses of vitamin D administered during cold seasons prevent viral respiratory infections in at risk individual, and more recently, observational studies suggested that the mortality rate from COVID-19 is inversely correlated with levels of serum 25(OH)vitamin D. The hypothesis of the study is that a high dose of vitamin D given orally to patients admitted to the hospital for COVID-19 will prevent the occurrence of respiratory deragement and other adverse clinical events. To evaluate the aforementioned hypothesis, a randomized, controlled, double-blind, clinical trial comparing a 500.000 UI dose of vitamin D versus placebo among COVID-19 patients at moderate risk, requiring hospitalization but without requirements of critical care at admission was designed. The intervention will be one dose of 500.000 UI given orally or matching placebo. The trial has a sequential design with two steps: - The first step, projected to include 200 patients, will assess the effects of the intervention on the respiratory SOFA; and - If there is a detectable effects, the second step, projected to include 1264 patients, will assess the effects on a combined event that includes need of high dose of oxygen or mechanical ventilation. All study outcomes will be measured during the index hospitalization.

The aim of the study is to clinically use bovine Lf as a safe antiviral adjuvant for treatment and to assess the potential in reducing mortality and morbidity rates in COVID-19 patients. The study was approved by the ethical committee of the Egyptian Center for Research and Regenerative Medicine in 11-5-2020.

The study is designed as a multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, parallel group study of the safety and efficacy of tofacitinib in hospitalized adult participants with COVID-19 pneumonia who are receiving SoC therapy and who are not on HFNC, noninvasive ventilation, invasive mechanical ventilation, or ECMO on Day 1 at the time of randomization. Participants with laboratory confirmed SARS-CoV-2 infection as determined by a positive PCR or other commercially available or public health assay, who have agreed to participate will be screened within 48 hours after hospitalization to determine eligibility. This should be completed within 48 hours prior to Day 1. Eligible participants will be randomized on Day 1 in a 1:1 ratio to the tofacitinib treatment group or the placebo treatment group and will receive treatment for up to 14 days, or until discharge from the hospital, whichever is earlier. If a participant requires intubation prior to the end of the 14-day treatment period, they will continue to receive tofacitinib or matching placebo until Day 14 (or until discharge from the hospital, if earlier than Day 14), if clinically appropriate. Participants will be assessed daily (up to Day 28) while hospitalized for clinical, safety, and laboratory parameters. Follow-up visits will occur on Day 28, 28 to 35 days after the ET/ED/EOT visit, and on Day 60. An independent, external DSMB will be convened to oversee the safety of participants and make recommendations regarding the conduct of the trial in accordance with the Charter.
University of Pennsylvania
Phase 1 safety study to determine the tolerability, clinical effects, and changes in laboratory parameters of short course oral or IV cyclosporine (CSA) administration in patients with COVID-19 disease requiring oxygen supplementation but not requiring ventilator support.
AbCellera Biologics Inc.
The purpose of this study is to test the safety and tolerability of LY3819253 when it is given by injection into a vein to participants hospitalized with COVID-19. Blood tests will be done to check how much LY3819253 is in the bloodstream and how long the body takes to eliminate it. Participation could last about 8 weeks and may include up to 15 visits in the hospital or the home.
Derince Training and Research Hospital
The aim of this study is to compare the impact of using the aerosol box and transparent sheet as an adjunct to conventional personal protective equipment on endotracheal intubation of COVID-19 patients. The effect of the head of the bed elevation will also be evaluated during the mentioned simulated scenarios.
