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.

There is emerging evidence that patients with SARS-CoV-2 are affected by increased coagulopathy, including in the most advanced forms, a fully blown disseminated intravascular coagulation, leading to multi organ failure (MOF). Post-Morten observations from patients who died because of SARS-CoV-2 infection in Bergamo, Italy and other places have revealed the presence of diffuse venous, arterial and microcirculatorythrombosis, not only restricted to the lung but also involving the kidneys, heart and gut. Thrombin plays a central role in mediating clot forming as well as in mediating inflammation. A direct factor X inhibitor, namely edoxaban can act as prophylactic measure to mitigate the risk of venous and arterial thrombotic complications. Colchicine is an inexpensive (generic drug), orally administered, and a potent anti-inflammatory medication. It might accelerate SARS-CoV-2 clearance. The aim of the CONVINCE study is therefore to assess the safety and efficacy of edoxaban and/or colchicine administration in SARS-CoV-2 infected patients who are managed outside the hospital with respect to the occurrence of fatalities, hospitalisation, major vascular thrombotic events or the SARS-CoV-2 clearance rate under RT PCR.

In patients with SARS-CoV-2 or bacterial infection admitted to the intensive care unit (ICU), the state of the intravascular volume, the characteristics of the blood volume components, and the development of a vascular leak is currently unknown. The relationship of these parameters with parameters of cardiac performance, lung edema and sublingual microcirculatory perfusion parameters have never been studied.
EyePoint Pharmaceuticals, Inc.
This was a Phase 2, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, parallel-group, multicenter, dose escalation and proof-of-concept study to evaluate the safety and efficacy of razuprotafib, administered 3 times daily (TID) (every 8 hours [Q8H]), in hospitalized subjects with moderate to severe Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) receiving standard of care therapy. The study was planned to include 2 parts with Part 1 comprising the dose escalation period of the study and Part 2 comprising the proof-of-concept safety and efficacy period of the study.
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.

Of the many treatments proposed for COVID-19, few directly address the severe hypoxia among COVID-19 patients. Interim results from our single-center, non-randomized clinical trial (NCT04332081) suggest that hyperbaric oxygen therapy may reduce inpatient mortality or the need for mechanical ventilation among COVID-19 patients by more than half. Hyperbaric oxygen therapy is delivered by increasing the atmospheric pressure surrounding a patient, which results in increased oxygen delivery to a patient's blood at a rate higher than any other available modality. It is already FDA-approved for several indications, including conditions with impaired gas exchange and severe infectious processes. Furthermore, several studies have found that hyperbaric oxygen therapy inhibits the production of proinflammatory cytokines, which may play a role in the pathophysiology of COVID-19. The goal of this proposal is to perform a multi-center, randomized controlled trial to evaluate the short-term and long-term efficacy of hyperbaric oxygen therapy for COVID-19 patients. This proposal will rigorously test whether hyperbaric oxygen therapy can reduce the substantial mortality and morbidity of this challenging disease.
Boehringer Ingelheim
This is a collaborative study between Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai, Boehringer Ingelheim Pharmaceuticals and up to 9 other clinical centers across the US to determine the effect of nintedanib on slowing the rate of lung disease in patients who have been diagnosed with COVID-19, and have ongoing lung injury more than 30 days out from their diagnosis. Required one of the following after diagnosis with SARS-CoV-2: supplemental oxygen by nasal cannula, high flow oxygen, non invasive ventilation such as CPAP or BIPAP, or mechanical ventilation or a history of desaturation below 90%.

With the results of this study the investigators aim to identify an effective treatment that will reduce morbidity and mortality of patients with symptomatic COVID-19 infection, which would in turn reduce the burden on the healthcare system by decreasing the need for intensive care. Objectives: The main objective of this research is to determine if once weekly treatment with the GLP-1 agonist semaglutide for 4 doses will reduce cardiac as well as non-cardiac complications of COVID-19 infection. Study Plan: The study design is prospective randomized open-label blinded-evaluation (PROBE). Eligible patients with symptomatic COVID-19 infection and an enhanced risk profile as described above, who have been admitted to hospital due to symptoms of COVID-19 infection but do not as yet require critical care will be approached to participate in this study. Provided there are no exclusion criteria and the participants agree by means of documented written informed consent, The participants the participants will be randomized to receive s.c. semaglutide 0.25 mg s.c. or control immediately after randomization and then 0.5 mg s.c. at Day 7, Day 14 and Day 21. Blood will be drawn at Day 7±2 and Day 14±2 for the cardiac troponin biomarker and safety parameters. ECG will be obtained at Day 7±2 and Day 14±2. Primary outcome will be assessed on Day 28. Primary outcome measure: A composite of (1) death from any cause or (2) mechanical ventilation (invasive or non-invasive) at 28 days. Major secondary outcome measure: (1) an elevation to >99th percentile URL upper reference limit (URL) in those with a baseline cardiac troponin level ≤99th percentile URL; or 3x elevation from baseline in those with a baseline cardiac troponin >99th percentile URL; measured at 1 week (7-days) post randomization. Other major secondary outcome measure: A composite of 1. Death from any cause, mechanical ventilation or vasopressor or ECLS support at 28 days 2. an elevation to >99th percentile URL in those with a normal baseline troponin level; or 3x elevation from baseline in those with a baseline troponin; measured at 1 and 2 weeks (7±2 and 14±2 days) post randomization.
