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 evaluate a potential mechanism by which a hyperactive immune response may contribute to death from SARS-CoV-2; by an excessive neutrophil-mediated deposition of cell-free DNA in neutrophil extracellular traps (NET). Excessive amounts of NETs can increase rigidity of mucus, clog airways, and be agents for the development of acute respiratory distress (Narasaraju et al., Am J Pathol. 2011). Many aspects of this pathway have been observed in severe SARS-CoV-2 (Zhang et al., Respiratory research. 2020). Dornase alfa (DNAse I; Pulmozyme (Genentech) is a nebulized drug that works by degrading cell-free DNA and thus promoting airway clearance and recovery. The investigators hypothesize that by thinning mucus and degrading these NETs further lung damage may be prevented and a reduction in time to recovery may occur. The two aims of the study are to see if inhaled/nebulized dornase alfa will improve clinical outcome measures in SARS-CoV-2 related acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) and to see if dornase alfa reduces the amount of bronchoalveolar lavage and blood markers of NET activity. The study will recruit patients who are on mechanical ventilation for respiratory failure related to SARS-CoV-2 positive infection and have ARDS based upon Berlin criteria. The investigators aim to recruit 10-20 patients for this study.
Boston Children's Hospital
This is a randomized double-blind placebo-controlled Phase II trial of recombinant human deoxyribonuclease I (rhDNase I) - Pulmozyme - in mechanically ventilated patients with COVID-19 pneumonia. Patients admitted to the ICU with severe COVID-19 pneumonia who require mechanical ventilation will be invited to participate in this study. Potential subjects will be identified from medical record review or from direct contact with physicians. Investigators will check medical history and confirm eligibility. Informed consent will be obtained from either the patient or designated healthcare proxy. 60 subjects will be enrolled. After obtaining informed consent, patients will be randomized 2:1 to Pulmozyme 2.5 mg BID for up to 28 days or until they are no longer receiving mechanical ventilation, whichever is sooner plus standard of care vs. placebo normal saline 2.5 ml plus standard of care.

Theravance Biopharma
This Phase 2 study will evaluate the efficacy, safety, pharmacodynamics and pharmacokinetics of inhaled TD-0903 compared with a matching placebo in combination with standard of care (SOC) in hospitalized patients with confirmed COVID-19 associated acute lung injury and impaired oxygenation.
Lomonosov Moscow State University Medical Research and Educational Center
Patients with mild and severe coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID 19) will be randomized 3:1:1:3 into four groups: colchicine, ruxolitinib, secukinumab, and control groups. . Patients will be follow-up during 45 days after randomization. Change in clinical assessment score COVID 19 (CAS COVID 19) between baseline and 12th day will be evaluated as the primary endpoint. Risk of death or mechanical ventilation during 45 days after randomization will also be assessed

To ascertain globally the changes in the cytokines involved and TLRs/KIR activation in patients admitted to the hospital with a COVID-19 diagnosis, and the changes after initiation of the different therapies
Asociacion para el Estudio de las Enfermedades Infecciosas
The primary objective of this study is to establish differences in susceptibility to SARS CoV-2 infection among health care workers (HCW) highly exposed to patients with COVID-19 diagnosis. To ascertain this issue, we evaluated: - Changes in receptor polymorphism (ACE2 and CD26 receptor study. - SARS-CoV-2 CD4/CD8 T cell response (CTL) - Different KIR phenotypes

Study of the cause of lymphopenia in Covid19 viral infection will be done in 3 cohorts. First cohort will be patients asymptomatic or with mild symptoms. Second cohort will be patients with severe illness and admitted to ICU. Third cohort will be patients critically ill and on artificial ventilation.
University of Aarhus
The objective of this study is to assess the long-term outcomes after hospital admission with Covid-19 with respect to pulmonary function, physical capacity, imaging, quality of life and socioeconomic outcomes.
Northwell Health
The aim of this study is to test the hypothesis that prophylaxis of severe COVID-19 patients with treatment dose LMWH leads to better thromboembolic-free outcomes and associated complications during hospitalization than prophylaxis with institutional standard of care with prophylactic to intermediate-doses of UFH or LMWH
