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.

Tofacitinib suppresses pro-inflammatory signaling that may be important pathogenetically to progression to more severe lung disease and acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) in patients with COVID-19. The purpose of the study is to assess the safety and efficacy of tofacitinib plus standard pharmacologic and supportive measures in treating hospitalized participants with COVID-19 pneumonia.
Genentech, Inc.
This is a placebo-controlled, double blind, randomized, Phase II dose escalation study intended to evaluate the potential safety and efficacy of tenecteplase for the treatment of COVID-19 associated respiratory failure. The hypothesis is that administration of the drug, in conjunction with heparin anticoagulation, will improve patients' clinical outcomes.
Eli Lilly and Company
The purpose of this study is to evaluate whether LY3819253 given alone and with LY3832479 prevent severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection and coronavirus disease - 2019 (COVID-19). Facility staff and residents in contracted skilled nursing and assisted living facility networks with a high risk of SARS-CoV-2 exposure will receive LY3819253, LY3819253 and LY3832479, or placebo via an injection into a vein. Samples will be taken from the nose. Blood samples will be drawn. Participation could last up to 25 weeks and may include up to 19 visits.

Randomized open-label multicenter parallel-group study of efficacy and safety of TL-FVP-t vs. standard of care therapy in patients with mild to moderate coronavirus disease (SARS-CoV-2/COVID-19)

Pneumonia caused by coronavirus infection COVID-19 is characterized by a combination of several dangerous factors that consistently worsen the patient's condition: viral lung damage early in the disease; a sharp increase in inflammation on the background of an unbalanced immune response ("cytokine storm"); joining a bacterial infection. The condition of patients deteriorates significantly mostly at cytokine storm development. The damaging of a large volume of lung tissue leads to develops of respiratory failure, respiratory distress syndrome, or shock. Ventilatory support becomes ineffective and patients die. There are reports of the effectiveness of Human Normal Immunoglobulin for Intravenous Administration (IVIG) high doses when used as part of complex therapy in patients with pneumonia caused by coronavirus COVID-19. In particular, IVIG has a positive effect on survival rates, overall disease course, duration of stay in the intensive care unit, and ventilatory support duration. The probable mechanism of action of high-dose IVIG therapy is considered to be a regulatory effect on the immune system. Similar is the known and confirmed effectiveness of IVIG for autoimmune diseases (Kavasaky disease, Guillain Barre syndrome, Chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyradiculoneuropathy, Multifocal motor neuropathy). This trial to assesses the Efficacy of IVIG (medication trade name - Bioven, manufactured by Biopharma Plasma LLC) in the High Immunomodulatory Dose in Complex Treatment of Severe Pneumonia Caused by COVID-19 / SARS-CoV-2

The efficacy of treating COVID-19 infection by using Sofosbuvir/Ledipasvir and Nitazoxanide will be examined. Included patients will be into 3 groups. The 1st group will receive Sofosbuvir/Ledipasvir plus the standard care treatment (SCT). The 2nd group will take Nitazoxanide and SCT, while the 3rd group will receive only SCT. Then the clinical improvement and the rate of PCR change from positive to negative will be evaluated in each group.

This study is aimed to investigate the effect of Famotidine in the clinical recovery of COVID-19 patients. COVID19 is a worldwide pandemic. Hence SARS-CoV-2 is a novel virus; there is no specific medication against it. Like other countries of the world, Besides antiviral drugs, immunosuppressive agents, and symptomatic therapy like H2 receptor blocker FAMOTIDINE came to the limelight due to its role in reducing the symptoms of COVID-19 patients. The study will include COVID-19 participants to confirm by RT PCR or an HRCT chest. Detail history of each participant with comorbidity will be taken and will be examined carefully. The hospitalized patients admitted to the HDU/ICU units will be enrolled in this study. Critically ill patients who require ventilator support will not be included in this study. The outcome of the Famotidine treatment will be evaluated and compared with a control group.

Rationale: Patients with MS are possibly more vulnerable to infection with SARS-CoV-2. Furthermore the use of immunomodulatory treatment could have an effect on the course of COVID-19 disease. This has resulted in an alteration of current immunomodulatory treatment strategies and delaying the start of certain medications, which could induce MS disease activity. However, certain immunomodulatory treatments are also hypothesized to have a positive effect on COVID-19 disease. Besides lack of information regarding the effects of MS treatments on COVID-19, there is significant uncertainty in how we should advise MS patients in terms of self-isolation, resulting in many patients staying at home reluctant to perform their work or other daily activities. Nationally and locally, we are collecting information regarding COVID-19 in MS patients but numbers are low and only those who are severely affected are tested. Furthermore, there is no information regarding SARS-CoV-2 immunity in MS patients, which could be affected by certain MS treatments. Consequently, there is an urgent need for reliable information about infection rates/immunity and course of COVID-19 in relation to MS characteristics and treatments. Objectives: The objectives of this study are 1. to study the course of COVID-19 in MS patients in relation to immunomodulatory treatment and other patient and MS characteristics and 2. to study the proportion of MS patients with SARS-CoV-2 antibodies and 3. to establish the antibody profile in positive tested patients and 4. to study the longitudinal course of these antibody profiles in positive tested patients. Study design: This is a mono-center cohort study in patients of the MS Center Amsterdam. Study population: All patients with a diagnosis of MS currently under follow-up in the Amsterdam MS Center. Intervention (if applicable): Single venous puncture for drawing blood and questionnaire. For a minority of patients (max 25%) who test positive for antibodies we will draw blood a again with questionnaires after six and twelve months. Main study parameters/endpoints: Course of COVID-19 in MS patients in relation to MS immunomodulatory treatment.
