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.

This study is designed to assess the difference between level of NT-pro-BNP, and Vitmin D in moderate cases who progressed to severe or critically ill category compared to those who did not. Assessment of any possible correlation between NT-pro-BNP and Vitamin D and the need for mechanical ventilation or mortality in COVID-19 infection.

The aim of the study is to find out what care patients affected by anxiety, fear or loneliness have perceived and the perceived impact of this care. This knowledge will allow us to design measures aimed at improving nursing care of these aspects in the future.

Tocilizumab is an effective treatment for severe coronavirus disease 2019 (Covid-19) pneumonia and related inflammation. Given limited global supplies, clarification of the optimal tocilizumab dose is critical. We conducted an open-label, randomized, controlled trial evaluating two different dose levels of tocilizumab in Covid-19 (40mg and 120mg). Randomization was stratified on remdesivir and corticosteroid at enrollment. The primary outcome was the time to recovery. The key secondary outcome was 28-day mortality.

This study assesses the clinical effectiveness of mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) inhibition with rapamycin in minimizing or decreasing the severity of acute lung injury/acute respiratory distress syndrome (ALI/ARDS) in participants infected with mild to moderate COVID-19 virus.

In this trial patients will be treated with either a combination of therapies to treat COVID-19 or a placebo. Treatment will last 10 days, and patients will be followed for 6 months.

The COVID-19 pandemic has been spreading continuously, and in Brazil, until July 19, 2020, there have been more than 2,000,000 cases with more than 79,000 deaths, with daily increases. The present study proposes to evaluate the efficacy of methylprednisolone and heparin in treatment of patients with COVID-19 pneumonia in a randomized, controlled, 2x2 factorial study.

The outbreak of the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) and the COVID-19 (Coronavirus Disease-2019) in December 2019 has led to an unprecedented international health situation. Exceptional measures have been taken by public authorities worldwide in order to slow the spread of the virus and prevent healthcare systems from becoming overloaded. In France, a national lockdown has been established during approximately 2 months to increase social distancing and restrict population movements. Hospital routine care appointments have been cancelled, in order to reallocate medical resources towards COVID-19 units and limit contacts between patients within hospitals or waiting rooms. While the virus itself, the disease and potential treatments are currently extensively studied, little data are available on the effect of these public health decisions on the management of a chronic condition such as diabetes. The French regional CONFI-DIAB study aims at assessing the collateral impact of routine care cancellation during the national lockdown due to COVID-19 in patients with a chronic condition such as diabetes. Special attention will be given to metabolic control and access to health care. This cross-sectional study should provide information on the consequences of a global lockdown and the associated routine care cancellation on the management of diabetes, and inform future decision making in the event of a new pandemic.

During the COVID-19 pandemic, the French Agency of Biomedicine has recommended maintaining fertility preservation for patients requiring immediate oncological treatments exhibiting gonadotoxic effects. However, no study has examined the presence of SARS-CoV-2 in sperm from cancer patients. This study aims therefore to detect the presence of SARS-CoV-2, specifically in the seminal fluid and the spermatozoa fractions of cancer patient semen. The investigators will determine if the virus presence in sperm is associated with its presence in the nasal swabs, COVID symptoms, specific serological profiles and particular oncological pathologies/treatments.

As of 27th May 2020, approximately 5.7 million people worldwide are known to have been infected with COVID-19 coronavirus and more than 350,000 have died (1). The severity of this viral disease for an individual is associated with a widespread perturbation of immune, physiological and metabolic parameters (2, 3). These whole body changes could be considered characteristic of a systemic inflammatory response to tissue injury and it has been long recognised that a large and ongoing systemic inflammatory response is associated with the development of multiple organ failure and infective disease (4, 5). One of the cardinal signs of severe COVID-19 infection is a marked systemic inflammatory response (2). This response bears striking similarity to the systemic inflammatory response experienced by patients undergoing major elective surgical resections for cancer (6, 7). Indeed, the systemic inflammatory response and the associated metabolic stress has been most well characterised in major elective surgery, where the relationship between the magnitude of the post-operative systemic inflammatory response and the development of post-operative complications is now well recognised, as is the effect of patient comorbidity on this relationship (8, 9). Such work has informed therapeutic manoeuvres including minimally invasive surgery, pre-operative optimisation (e.g. anaesthesia, nutrition and steroids) and enhanced recovery protocols. The aim of the present study was to examine whether routinely collected clinicopathological characteristics of patients with COVID-19 on admission were informative on the immune and metabolic stress experienced by patients with COVID-19 and whether such characteristics were informative on subsequent outcome.
