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 Novel Coronavirus (2019-nCoV), also known as Wuhan coronavirus, causes the 2019-nCoV acute respiratory disease.
Shanghai Jiao Tong University School of Medicine
The investigators plan to carry out an experimental study on the preventive effect of recombinant human interferon alpha nasal drops on the infection of 2019 new coronavirus in medical staff.

There is a high risk of transmission of COVID-19 to healthcare workers. In a recent cohort, 29% of the patients hospitalized were healthcare workers. Among the WHO's primary strategic objectives for the response to COVID-19, the first was to limit human-to-human transmission, including reducing secondary infections among close contacts and health care workers. Automated oxygen titration, weaning and monitoring (FreeO2 device) may be a solution to reduce the number of interventions of healthcare workers related to oxygen therapy, to reduce complications related to oxygen and to improve monitoring.

There is no specific antiviral treatment recommended for COVID-19, and no vaccine is currently available. Baricitinib, an anti-Janus kinase inhibitor (anti-JAK) acting against JAK1 and JAK2. The drug was found capable to reduce or interrupt the passage of the virus into target cells, and to inhibit the JAK1- and JAK2-mediated cytokine release. The drug was licensed for the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis at the daily dose of 4 mg/orally, with excellent results in terms of clinical response and a good safety profile. Since baricitinib does not interact with antivirals due to its prevalent renal elimination, it may be used in combination.The evidence on the advantageous action of baricitinib on viral entry and cytokine outbreak constituted the rationale to perform a trial on patients with mild to moderate COVID-19 infection receiving baricitinib combined with antiviral therapy.

The Novel Coronavirus (2019-nCoV), also known as Wuhan coronavirus, causes the 2019-nCoV acute respiratory disease. The number of patients infected by 2019-nCoV in Italy closely followed an exponential trend, and Italy reported the highest number of infected patients and deaths in the world excluding China.

In a Phase 2 Simon's Optimal Two-Stages Design intravenous tocilizumab will be administered as single 8mg/Kg dose in patients affected by severe multifocal interstitial pneumonia correlated to SARS-CoV2 infection. Aim of the study is to test the hypothesis that an anti-IL6 treatment can be effective in calming the virus-induced cytokine storm, blocking deterioration of lung function or even promoting a rapid improvement of clinical conditions, preventing naso-tracheal intubation and/or death.
Wuhan Union Hospital, China
This study aims to investigate the clinical characteristics, the incidence of myocardial injury, and the influence of myocardial injury on the prognosis in COVID-19 patients. There is no additional examination and treatment for this project.

This project aims to use artificial intelligence (image discrimination) algorithms, specifically convolutional neural networks (CNNs) for scanning chest radiographs in the emergency department (triage) in patients with suspected respiratory symptoms (fever, cough, myalgia) of coronavirus infection COVID 19. The objective is to create and validate a software solution that discriminates on the basis of the chest x-ray between Covid-19 pneumonitis and influenza
Henan Provincial People's Hospital
All patients with COVID-19 were divided into three groups according to their illness: mild patient who receive conventional oxygen therapy, severe patients who receive nasal high flow oxygen inhalation or non-invasive positive pressure ventilation,all the oxygen therapy will be used as part of the standard of care. Each group will enroll 10 patients, the treatment of all patients will be continuously optimized during observation, and the incidence of respiratory failure, intubation rate, 28 day mortality rate, ICU hospitalization days, etc will be recorded and analyzed so to optimize the treatment time window of sequential oxygen therapy
Huashan Hospital
Our project intends to independently develop a fully enclosed rapid detection system for a total of 22 pathogens, including SARS-CoV-2, on the basis of the QIAstat-Dx fully automatic multiple PCR detection platform. The reasonably designed experiments are used to verify the performance of the cartridge detection and prove its clinical application value. The 22 pathogens tested in this project includes 4 coronavirus subtypes, A / B flu, parainfluenza virus, respiratory syncytial virus, etc., which is of great significance for the differential diagnosis of similar patients.
