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 consensus therapeutic strategy implies that COVID patients with acute lung injury due to coronavirus are routinely placed in prone position in an attempt to improve oxygenation by increasing ventilation homogeneity. The purpose of the study is to quantify with the electrical impedance tomography (EIT) the changes in the ventilation and aeration in the dorsal regions of the lung when the patient is placed in prone position.

Hydroxychloroquine has been approved by FDA as one of the treatment options for COVID 19.Healthcare personnel are amongst those at highest risk to contract the disease. Several health authorities are now recommending the use of hydroxychloroquine as pre-exposure prophylaxis is in health care personnel. Several studies are on going in this context. However there is a controversy regarding the dosage regimen. This drug has a half life of 22.4 days. In this study we will be comparing three different doses of Hydroxychloroquine and additionally have a control group in order to determine the efficacy of hydroxychloroquine as pre- exposure prophylaxis in healthcare personnel in various doses.

There is very little data so far to determine whether people living with HIV (PLWHIV) are at greater risk of COVID-19 acquisition or severe disease. HIV infection is associated with deficiencies in both humoral and cell-mediated immunity that could potentially alter the course and severity of common infections. The investigators will study the correlation between clinical and immunovirological data. The singularity of this work is to have an in-depth immunovirological approach linked to the clinical characteristics in COVID-19 HIV co-infected patients. COVIDHIV is the only study to date to offer this combined approach in PLWHIV. This protocol is a historical and prospective cohort study of PLWHIV presenting COVID-19 The primary objectives are to describe the course of COVID-19 disease in patients infected with HIV

Novel coronavirus COVID-19 has become a health emergency around the world. Since first patients were detected in Wuhan China, in December 2019, COVID-19 has spread quickly worldwide, being a severe threat to public health. Fever, dry cough, shortness of breath and breathing distress are the main characteristics of COVID-19 infection. Some patients develop overwhelming lung inflammation and acute respiratory failure, for which there is no specific therapy. Therefore, safe and effective treatment for COVID-19 pneumonia is utterly necessary, mainly in critical cases. Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) have been widely used in the immune-mediated inflammatory diseases. MSCs can regulate both innate and adaptive immunity by suppressing the proliferation, differentiation and activation of different cells. These immunomodulatory properties of MSCs support performance of the phase I/II, placebo- controlled, randomized MSCs for treatment of severe COVID-19 pneumonia.

Research Background and Rationale In December 2019, a new infectious respiratory disease emerged in Wuhan, Hubei province, China. An initial cluster of infections was linked to Huanan seafood market, potentially due to animal contact. Subsequently, human-to-human transmission occurred and the disease, now termed coronavirus disease 19 (COVID-19) rapidly spread within China and all over the world. A novel coronavirus, SARS-coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), which is closely related to SARS-CoV, was detected in patients and is believed to be the etiologic agent of the new lung disease. The causative agent of the current COVID-19 pandemic, SARS-CoV-2, is a single stranded positive sense RNA virus that is closely related to severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus (SARS-CoV).

Hope Biosciences Stem Cell Research Foundation
Hope Biosciences is conducting a research study of an investigational product called allogeneic adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cells (abbreviated as HB-adMSCs) as treatment for patients suspected to have COVID-19. The study purpose is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of four IV infusions of either placebo or HB-adMSCs in subjects with COVID-19.

Clinical Trial of Mycobacterium w in COVID-19 Positive Patients, Hospitalized But Not Critically Ill
This is a randomized, double blind, two arms, placebo controlled, clinical trial to study to evaluate the the safety and efficacy of Mycobacterium w in combination with standard of care versus placebo with standard of care for preventing the progression of COVID-19 disease and for reduction in transfer to ICU in COVID-19 infected patients admitted to the hospital.
