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.

An Adaptive Study of Favipiravir Compared to Standard of Care in Hospitalized Patients With COVID-19
The study is Phase II/III and consists of pilot and pivotal stages. The objective of the pilot stage is to conduct a preliminary assessment of the efficacy and safety of Favipiravir, and to select the optimal dosing regimen to study during the pivotal stage. The objective of the pivotal stage is to assess the efficacy and safety of Favipiravir compared with the Standard of care (SOC) in hospitalized patients with moderate to severe COVID-19 pneumonia.

The purpose of this trial is to test the efficacy and safety of crizanlizumab in patients hospitalized with COVID-19.

In this study, the effectiveness of the Dornase Alpha treatment, which is known to reduce the viscosity of respiratory secretions, will be investigated in new diagnosed and severe COVID-19 patients separately.

Acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) is a type of respiratory failure characterized by the rapid onset of widespread inflammation in the lungs. ARDS is thought to be the main cause of respiratory failure in COVID-19 patients. Research is still ongoing to further elucidate the different ARDS subtypes that may exist in COVID-19. It is crucial to find new targets for treatment and support of COVID-19 patients with respiratory failure.

Since the outbreak of coronavirusdisease2019(COVID-19), many researchers in China have carried out/published clinical trials on treatment based on Western medicine, traditional Chinese medicine or a combination of the two. Trials on treatment modalities have mainly used antivirals, interferon, glucocorticoids in addition to traditional Chinese medicine. There are also clinical trials exploring hydroxyquinoline/chloroquine sulphate, immunoglobulins, Vitamin-C, washed microbiota, nebulized interferon, teicoplanin as well as Mesenchymal stem cells. However, most of these trials were small (median sample size 100) and the bulk of potential therapeutic strategies remain in the experimental phase and currently there is no effective specific antiviral with high-level evidence.The aim of this study is assess the efficacy of MSCs as an add-on therapy to standard supportive treatment for patients with moderate/severe COVID-19.

Phase 2/3 randomized, parallel group, 2-arm study (treatment vs. control), investigating the efficacy and safety of intravenous administration of anakinra, an interleukin 1 receptor antagonist ( IL-1), added to standard treatment, compared to standard treatment alone, to reduce hyperinflammation and respiratory distress in patients with SARS-CoV-2 infection.

The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and security of chloroquine phosphate prophylactic use for reducing the risk of infection by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus-2 in Health Care Workers exposed to COVID-19 patients.

Coagulopathy of COVID-19 afflicts approximately 20% of patients with severe COVID-19 and is associated with need for critical care and death. COVID-19 coagulopathy is characterized by elevated D-dimer, an indicator of fibrin formation and clot lysis, and a mildly prolonged prothrombin time, suggestive of coagulation consumption. To date, it seems that COVID-19 coagulopathy manifests with thromboembolism, thus anticoagulation may be of benefit. We propose to conduct a parallel pragmatic multi-centre open-label randomized controlled trial to determine the effect of therapeutic anticoagulation compared to standard care in hospitalized patients admitted for COVID-19 with an elevated D-dimer.

COVID 19 which started from a zoonotic transmission related to crowded markets was confirmed to have a high potential for transmission to close contacts on 20 January 2020 by the National Health Commission of China and it was announced as a pandemic by the WHO on 11 March 2020. There is currently no clinically proven specific antiviral agent available for SARS-CoV-2 infection. Supportive treatment, including oxygen therapy, conservation fluid management, and broad-spectrum antibiotics to cover secondary bacterial infection, remains the most important management strategy. Interestingly, sofosbuvir has recently been proposed as an antiviral for the SARS-CoV-2 based on the similarity between the replication mechanisms of the HCV and the coronaviruses. Aim of the study is to assess the safety and efficacy of of the addition of HCV treatment to the standard regimen for the treatment of patients who are candidates to receive Hydroxy Chloroquine according to Egyptian MOHP protocol
