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.

We hypothesize that inhaled steroid therapy and long acting beta 2 adrenergic agonist, widely prescribed in asthma patients, may also have a local protective effect against coronavirus infection, even in patients without asthma. The primary purpose is To compare time to clinical improvement in patients receiving standard of care associated to the combination budesonide/formoterol or standard of care only. Time (in days) to clinical improvement is defined as the time from randomization to an improvement of two points (from the status at randomization) on a seven-category ordinal scale or live discharge from the hospital, whichever came first within 30 days.
Gangnam Severance Hospital
There is no known definite treatment after exposure to SARS-CoV-2, but the some animal and clinical trials confirmed the efficacy of hydroxychloroquine (HCQ) or chloroquine against SARS-CoV-2. Thus, in this study, we aim to evaluate the efficacy and safety of hydroxychloroquine as post exposure prophylaxis for SARS-CoV-2. - Primary end point: comparison the rate of COVID-19 between PEP with HCQ and control group. - Secondary end point: Comparison of the rate of COVID-19 according to the contact level (time, place, degree of wearing personal protective equipment). - Safety comparison: Safety verification by identifying major side effects in the HCQ group."

The aim of the study is to clinically use bovine Lf as a safe antiviral adjuvant for treatment and to assess the potential in reducing mortality and morbidity rates in COVID-19 patients. The study was approved by the ethical committee of the Egyptian Center for Research and Regenerative Medicine in 11-5-2020.

The study is designed as a multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, parallel group study of the safety and efficacy of tofacitinib in hospitalized adult participants with COVID-19 pneumonia who are receiving SoC therapy and who are not on HFNC, noninvasive ventilation, invasive mechanical ventilation, or ECMO on Day 1 at the time of randomization. Participants with laboratory confirmed SARS-CoV-2 infection as determined by a positive PCR or other commercially available or public health assay, who have agreed to participate will be screened within 48 hours after hospitalization to determine eligibility. This should be completed within 48 hours prior to Day 1. Eligible participants will be randomized on Day 1 in a 1:1 ratio to the tofacitinib treatment group or the placebo treatment group and will receive treatment for up to 14 days, or until discharge from the hospital, whichever is earlier. If a participant requires intubation prior to the end of the 14-day treatment period, they will continue to receive tofacitinib or matching placebo until Day 14 (or until discharge from the hospital, if earlier than Day 14), if clinically appropriate. Participants will be assessed daily (up to Day 28) while hospitalized for clinical, safety, and laboratory parameters. Follow-up visits will occur on Day 28, 28 to 35 days after the ET/ED/EOT visit, and on Day 60. An independent, external DSMB will be convened to oversee the safety of participants and make recommendations regarding the conduct of the trial in accordance with the Charter.

Cardiovascular involvement in coronavirus disease-2019 (COVID-19) encompasses a wide range of vascular and myocardial pathologies, including both acute and long-term sequelae. The MIIC-MI study aims to investigate mechanisms of cardiac injury in COVID-19 using multi-modality imaging and immunophenotyping to better understand the link with adverse patient outcomes.
ElectroCore INC
The study is a prospective, randomized, controlled investigation designed for comparison of two groups for the reduction of respiratory distress in a CoViD-19 population, using gammaCore Sapphire (nVNS) plus standard of care (active) vs. standard of care alone (SoC), the control group. The gammaCore® (nVNS) treatments will be used acutely and prophylactically. The aims of this study are to summarize and compare the incidence of clinical events and pro-inflammatory cytokine levels in patients randomized to use of gammaCore Sapphire plus standard of care vs standard of care alone in patients hospitalized for CoViD-19. Secondary objectives are demonstrate the safety of gammaCore Sapphire use in patients hospitalized for CoViD-19.
Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center
The researchers are doing this study to find out whether the study drug hydroxychloroquine can prevent infection with the COVID-19 virus, compared with placebo, in people who are receiving radiation therapy for their cancer. The placebo used in this study is a tablet that looks the same as the study drug and is taken in the same way, but it does not contain any active ingredients.
Columbia University
In this study, the investigators propose to administer clazakizumab to patients with life-threatening Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) infection manifest by pulmonary failure and a clinical picture consistent with a cytokine storm syndrome. This is a single-center randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial in which 30 patients will be enrolled and randomly assigned in a 1:1 ratio to two study arms and receive clazakizumab at a dose of 25 mg or placebo.

We hypothesize that the intake of Omni-Biotic® 10 AAD can reduce intestinal inflammation and improves dysbiosis in Covid-19 disease. We further hypothesize that Omni-Biotic® 10 AAD can reduce the duration of diarrhea, stool frequency, improve stool consistency, improve other gastrointestinal symptoms of Covid-19, reduce disease duration and severity. The investigators aim to perform a randomized, double blind, placebo-controlled study using telemedicine in patients with Covid-19 disease.

This will be a randomized trial of maintenance versus reduction in immunosuppression in adult patients (age >18 years old) with functioning renal transplants admitted to hospital with confirmed COVID-19 disease.
