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 International Registry of Healthcare Workers Exposed to COVID-19 Patients (UNITY Global), is an international registry of approximately 10,000 healthcare workers in low- and middle-income countries experiencing increasing numbers of COVID-19 cases and commensurate increased exposure to the SARS-CoV-2 virus among their healthcare worker populations.

Different studies showed that acetyl L-Carnitine (LC) positively affects the development and maturation of T lymphocytes, involved in the immune response to viral agents. It also contributes to the inhibition of ROS production and to the remodulation of the cytokine network typical of the systemic inflammatory syndrome. Given the potential protective effects of LC, it is suggested as a supportive and therapeutic option in patients with coronavirus infection. Given this background, in the light of the current COVID-19 emergency, it is the intention of the investigators to conduct a prospective, randomized, open-label, controlled study in the cohort of hospitalized patients with covid-19 pneumonia, administering 2 gr of LC orally in addition to the standard of care therapy (SOC). The investigators hypothesize that the use of LC will be associated with an earlier improvement of clinical and biohumoral parameters after 14 days of LC treatment when compared to the group of patients provided with standard care.

This is a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial to assess the efficacy of zinc in a higher risk COVID-19 positive outpatient population.

COVID-19 disease caused by a new coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2) has received worldwide attention. No specific antiviral treatment is recommended for COVID-19 and no vaccine is currently available. Probiotics may be considered as an option of treatment since they have anti-viral effect, trigger immunomodulation and have low side-effects. This randomized controlled trial aims to evaluate the efficacy of probiotics to reduce the duration and symptoms of COVID-19 in a symptomatic population tested positive to SARS-CoV-2, self-caring at home.

This is a prospective, randomized (1:1), double blind study of Convalescent anti-SARS-CoV-2 MBT Plasma (also known as convalescent plasma) plus standard medical treatment (SMT) versus placebo plus SMT in mild or moderate COVID-19 patients who are non-hospitalised. Subjects with confirmed infection by SARS-CoV-2 will receive SMT plus a total of 200-300 mL of convalescent plasma that has been pathogen-inactivated using MBT or placebo. Approximately 474 individuals will be randomized (1:1) with an interim analysis after the first 60 subjects (30 in each arm). The sample size will be re-assessed upon interim analysis. Approximately 135 individuals from selected study sites will be included in the substudy to assess the immune response and the methods of sampling.

Approximately 135 individuals from selected study sites will be included in the substudy to assess the immune response and the methods of sampling. The investigational product will be administered by IV infusion at baseline. Participants will continue their standard medical treatment (SMT) for SARS-CoV-2 infection as prescribed by their regular physician. If applicable, SMT may be modified during the study, depending on personal requirements, the severity and progression of the disease, and need for hospitalization. Subjects' participation (from inclusion/baseline visit to the end-of-study visit) will be up to 60 days.

Within the epidemic context of phase 3 in Mexico, the implementation of new treatments that have been shown to be beneficial for patients in other countries is an urgent need. Methylene blue (MB, the oxidized form, blue color) has been used in many different clinical medicine areas, ranging from malaria to orthopedics. Methylene blue absorbs energy directly from a light source and then transfers this energy to molecules of oxygen creating singlet oxygen (O2), which is the first electronic excited state of molecular oxygen (O2). Singlet oxygen is extremely electrophilic; thus, it can directly oxidize electron-rich double bonds in biological molecules and macromolecules. For this reason, methylene blue has been used as a photosensitizer in the treatment of cancer and the protection of serum from viral agents. Methylene blue can be reactivated using energy from a light source in the body until processed out through the kidneys.

This is the first study of COVI-VAC in humans. The purpose of the study is to evaluate the safety and immune response of COVI-VAC (a live attenuated vaccine to prevent COVID-19) in healthy adults aged 18 to 30 years. Approximately 48 participants will be enrolled into 1 of 3 dose groups (low, medium, high). Within each of these dose groups, participants will be assigned randomly to receive either 2 doses of COVI-VAC 28 days apart, 2 doses of placebo (saline), or 1 dose of COVI-VAC and 1 dose of placebo. COVI-VAC or placebo is administered by drops into each nostril. Neither the participants nor the researchers will know whether COVI-VAC or placebo has been received. To assess the safety of the vaccine, each participant will record symptoms and oral temperature in a diary daily for 14 days after each dose. Safety laboratory tests, physical exams, ECGs, and a chest X-ray will also be performed, and peak expiratory flow and vital signs will be measured. Adverse events and medication use will be recorded. Blood samples and intranasal samples will be collected to assess the immune response from the vaccine.

The study proposes to test photodisinfection (PDF) on SARS-CoV-2 in the nose. The study will use Health Canada approved Steriwave™ Nasal Decolonization (ND) in he nostril of patients infected with SARS-CoV-2. Participants are swabbed for SARS-CoV-2 before and after the PDF treatment. For the study, a small group of healthcare workers who have tested positive for SARS-CoV-2 will be included. They will not undergo the treatment but will need to swab their noses multiple times over the next 5 days. This nil group will provide the effect (if any) of swabbing SARS-CoV-2 levels in the nose.
