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.

A novel betacoronavirus, SARS-CoV-2, is spreading rapidly throughout the world. A large epidemic in South Africa may overwhelm available hospital capacity and healthcare resources which would be worsened by absenteeism of healthcare workers and other frontline staff (HCW). Strategies to prevent morbidity and mortality of HCW are desperately needed to safeguard continuous patient care. Bacillus Calmette-Guérin (BCG) is a vaccine against tuberculosis (TB), with protective non-specific effects against other respiratory tract infections in in vitro and in vivo studies, with reported morbidity and mortality reductions as high as 70%. We hypothesize that a BCG vaccination may reduce the morbidity and mortality of healthcare workers during the COVID-19 outbreak in South Africa.
Mayo Clinic
It is unclear how COVID19 can be passed from mother to infant. The study investigators aim to collect maternal and neonatal samples from COVID19-infected pregnant women and compare them to pregnant women who have clinical indications for COVID 19 testing at the time of hospital admission but end up being COVID19 negative. Pregnant women who are either COVID19 positive or COVID19 negative with respiratory symptoms will be enrolled and followed during this study.
Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center
This study is being done to see if hydroxychloroquine is an effective treatment for COVID-19.

The study of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) detected in exhaled air is an innovative research area for respiratory diseases. This analysis can be done by the technique of electronic nose, simpler and faster, which provides an idea of the general profile of the VOCs without identifying them. The VOCs in exhaled air in patients hospitalized for COVID-19 infection are analysed in this study, using electronic noses.
Nisantasi University
Investigators will recruit patients diagnosed with COVID-19 pneumonia between March 11th, 2020 and April 15th, 2020 in emergency, internal medicine and cardiology outpatient clinics, retrospectively and analyze their clinical and demographic features on admission in regard to their medications used for chronic diseases regularly.
University of Pittsburgh
The purpose of this study is to perform a secondary analysis of pre-existing de-identified limited datasets obtained from sites participating in Tier 1 (STUDY20040154: Neurologic Manifestations of COVID 19 in Children) and Tier 2 (STUDY20040278: Neuro COVID - Outcomes). The data will be used to determine the prevalence and severity of neurological symptoms among patients requiring critical care admission for confirmed or suspected novel coronavirus (COVID-19) and to determine the predictors for limitation of care in the study population, as well as, the prognosis of neurologically injured patients admitted to the ICU during the COVID-19 crisis. This study is sponsored by the Pediatric Neurocritical Care Research Group (PNCRG) and sponsored and funded in part by the Neurocritical Care Society.
University of Sao Paulo General Hospital
This is a case series of patients with COVID-19 admitted to the largest university hospital in Sao Paulo, Brazil, during the 2020 COVID-19 pandemic. Data will be collected prospectively and retrospectively. The main objective is to describe the characteristics of critically ill patients with COVID-19 and their clinical outcomes, and to identify risk factors associated with survival, to inform clinical decision-making and to guide the strategy to mitigate the epidemic, both within each hospital and ICU and in public health management.
Amarex Clinical Research
Comparison of the effects of CYT107 vs Placebo administered IM at 10µg/kg twice a week for two weeks on immune reconstitution of lymphopenic COVID-19 patients.
LEAF4Life, Inc.
This is an open label phase II study of treatment with LEAF-4L6715 in patients who experience severe acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) due to COVID-19, Sepsis or other Causes. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the improvement in PaO2/FiO2 by more than 25% in patients treated with LEAF-4L6715.
University of Pennsylvania
This is a protocol-driven observational study of lung ultrasound and focused echocardiography images obtained in the Emergency Department (ED) and Intensive Care Unit (ICU) settings as a part of existing standard of care. The objectives of this study are as follows: 1. To characterize various clinical and cardiopulmonary ultrasound findings and describe their relationship with the clinical course of patients with COVID-19 in the ED and ICU. 2. To describe, develop, and validate a prediction tool that can accurately predict the need for invasive mechanical ventilation (IMV) and acute respiratory failure in COVID-19 patients using clinical, laboratory, and ultrasound data.
