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.

Study to compare the efficacy and safety of colchicine and glucocorticoids compared with the standard of treatment for moderate/severe COVID-19 in a fragile and vulnerable population, admitted to a geriatric hospital unit or in a transicional care center
University of Sao Paulo
The SWITCH-COVID trial will randomize patients with COVID-19 that are currently using renin-angiotensin system inhibitors for treating hypertension to maintain the therapy during in-hospital stay or switch the therapy to other antihypertensive classes.
Evelo Biosciences, Inc.
Evelo will investigate the safety and efficacy of EDP1815 in the treatment of patients hospitalized with SARS-CoV-2 Infection
Northwestern University
To determine the efficacy of high dose Vitamin D (an over-the-counter nutritional supplement) in preventing immune-related complications in outpatients with confirmed SARS-CoV-2 infection.
University of California, San Francisco
Disulfiram (DSF) a safe, easily dosed, FDA-approved drug for the treatment of alcohol dependence has been identified to be a potential therapeutic target for SARS-CoV-2 infection. Disulfiram may have both antiviral (inhibiting viral replication via blocking the Mpro protease and zinc ejection) and anti-inflammatory effects (via inhibition of NF-kB-induced and NLRP inflammasome-induced cytokine release) on SARS-CoV-2. We will study oral disulfiram given for 5 consecutive days (1000 mg/day in cohort 1; 2000 mg/day in cohort 2) in 60 symptomatic COVID+ individuals in a randomized (2:1) randomized, double blind placebo-controlled trial evaluating disulfiram's effect on COVID-19 symptom severity, SARS-CoV-2 viral load, and biomarkers of inflammation and pyroptosis (aberrant pro-inflammatory cell death) over 31 days.
Zydus Lifesciences Limited
This is a phase II, multicenter, open-label, randomized, comparator-controlled study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of Pegylated Interferon -α2b in the treatment of adult patients diagnosed with SARS-CoV2 (COVID-19).Initial 1 mcg/kg of Pegylated Interferon-α2b will be administered on day 1. After safety evaluation of first dose, next dose (second dose) 1 mcg/kg on day 8 will be administered with recommended standard care during the trial.
QuantumLeap Healthcare Collaborative
The goal of this project is to rapidly screen promising agents, in the setting of an adaptive platform trial, for treatment of critically ill COVID-19 patients. In this phase 2 platform design, agents will be identified with a signal suggesting a big impact on reducing mortality and the need for, as well as duration, of mechanical ventilation.
The Claude D. Pepper Older Americans Independence Centers
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.
D'Or Institute for Research and Education
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.
St. Justine's Hospital
In this 16-week randomized control study, health care workers will receive a bolus dose followed by a weekly dose of vitamin D or a placebo bolus and weekly dose. This study will test whether high-dose of vitamin D supplementation decreases the incidence of laboratory-confirmed COVID19 infection (primary outcome), reduces illness severity, duration, as well as work absenteeism among health care workers (HCW) in setting at high-risk of contact with COVID-19 cases in high COVID-19 incidence areas.
