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.

Evaluation of a workplace intervention to implement supported wellbeing centres in a healthcare workplace during and after the COVID-19 pandemic. Mixed-Methods Evaluation study - including collection of service use monitoring data, online survey and qualitative interviews.
National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID)
ACTT-4 will evaluate the combination of baricitinib and remdesivir compared to dexamethasone and remdesivir. Subjects will be assessed daily while hospitalized. If the subjects are discharged from the hospital, they will have a study visit at Days 15, 22, and 29. For discharged subjects, it is preferred that the Day 15 and 29 visits are in person to obtain safety laboratory tests, oropharyngeal (OP) swabs, plasma (Day 29), and serum for secondary research as well as clinical outcome data. However, if infection control or other restrictions limit the ability of the subject to return to the clinic, these visits may be conducted by phone, and only clinical data will be obtained. The Day 22 visit does not have laboratory tests or collection of samples and is conducted by phone. The primary objective is to evaluate the clinical efficacy of baricitinib + remdesivir versus dexamethasone + remdesivir as assessed by the mechanical ventilation free survival by Day 29.

This study is a multicenter, randomized trial to study the potential benefit of treatments with a direct FXa inhibitor (rivaroxaban) versus standard of care dose subcutaneous low molecular weight heparin (LMWH) (Lovenox) in hospitalized subjects with COVID-19.

Vitamin D and Zinc Supplementation for Improving Treatment Outcomes Among COVID-19 Patients in India
The purpose of this study is to assess the effect of vitamin D and/or zinc supplementation on improving COVID-19 treatment outcomes. The effects of vitamin D, zinc, and both vitamin D and zinc together will be investigated among COVID-19 patients in India.

There are still uncertainties about the existence of protective immunity and the duration of protective antibodies in patients infected with SARS-CoV-2. Serological testing is an appropriate tool for epidemiological investigations to assess the persistence of antibodies over time. The nature of the immune response induced by this virus is also poorly understood. This ancillary study aims at assessing the immunological characteristics of patients that participated in the NOSO-COR study at Hospices Civils de Lyon six and twelve months after the initial infectious episode. Two visits will be scheduled at 6 and 12 months (± 1 month) after the initial SARS-CoV-2 infectious episode, Blood, saliva and nasopharyngeal samples will be collected for seroprevalence and immunological investigation.

Screening programs have been associated with a substantial reduction in colorectal cancer (CRC) mortality through endoscopic resection of preneoplastic lesions and detection of early-stage invasive cancers. In March 2020, the World Health Organization declared as a pandemic the outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), caused by SARS-CoV-2. Since then, the SARS-CoV-2 have never stopped spreading, causing an unprecedented situation with highly restrictive considerations to be adopted by the majority of countries worldwide. Health-care facilities have been making an enormous effort to assist patients affected by COVID-19, while adopting measures to maintain a safe environment for patients and healthcare professionals. As a result, the usual workflow in endoscopy departments changed dramatically, leading to an increase in cancelled procedures, probably increasing the future burden of Colorectal Cancer due to delays in diagnosis.

SAINT-PERU is a triple-blinded, randomized placebo-controlled trial with two parallel arms to evaluate the efficacy of ivermectin in negativizing nasopharyngeal PCR in patients with SARS-CoV-2 infection. The trial is conducted in two national hospitals at Lima-Peru.

Low-dose glucocorticoid treatment is the only intervention shown to significantly reduce mortality in cases of COVID-19 pneumonia requiring oxygen supplementation or ventilatory support. In particular, a large UK randomized controlled trial (RECOVERY trial) demonstrated the efficacy of dexamethasone at a dosage of 6mg/day for 10 days in reducing mortality compared to usual therapy, with a greater impact on patients requiring mechanical ventilation (36% reduction) or oxygen therapy (18% reduction) than on those who did not need respiratory support (doi: 10.1056/NEJMoa2021436). However, there is still paucity of information guiding glucocorticoid administration in severe pneumonia/ARDS and no evidence of the superiority of a steroid drug -nor of a therapeutic scheme- compared to the others, which led to a great heterogeneity of treatment protocols and misinterpretation of available findings. In a recent longitudinal observational study conducted in Italian respiratory high-dependency units, a protocol with prolonged low-dose methylprednisolone demonstrated a 71% reduction in mortality and the achievement of other secondary endpoints such as an increase in ventilation-free days by study day 28 in a subgroup of patients with severe pneumonia and high levels of systemic inflammation (doi: 10.1093/ofid/ofaa421). The treatment was well tolerated and did not affect viral shedding from the airways. In light of these data, the present study aims to compare the efficacy of a methylprednisolone protocol and that of a dexamethasone protocol based on previous evidence in increasing survival by day 28, as well as in reducing the need and duration for mechanical ventilation, among hospitalized patients requiring noninvasive respiratory support (oxygen supplementation and/or noninvasive ventilation).

The objective of the study is to evaluate the clinical efficacy and safety of vitamin D supplementation in hospitalized patients with COVID-19.

The renin-angiotensin system (RAS) has a relevant role in COVID-19, as the virus will enter host's cells via the angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE2); RAS disequilibrium might also play a key role in the modulation of the inflammatory response that characterizes the lung involvement. Angiotensin-(1-7) is a peptide that could be altered in COVID-19 patient and its supplementation may potentially helpful in this setting.
