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.

Povidone iodine (PVP-I) is a well-known broad spectrum, resistance free antimicrobial agent that has a long history of safe and effective use. Halodine Nasal Antiseptic is formulated for topical application PVP-I to nasal passages, and has demonstrated effectiveness against SARS-COV-2 in vitro - 99.99% inactivation within 15 seconds. This study will evaluate the ability of Halodine Nasal Antiseptic to impact SARS-CoV-2 in vivo.

SARS-CoV-2 infection induces a hyperinflammatory syndrome, causing the acute respiratory distress syndrome, massive lung cell destruction and, as a plausible sequelae, pulmonary fibrosis in COVID-19 patients. Current focus has been on the development of novel immunosuppressant therapies, in order to control the cytokine storm in COVID-19 patients. Thus, the effect of steroids, intravenous immunoglobulin, non-steroidal immunosuppressants, selective cytokine blockade, JAK/STAT pathway inbhibition, and mesenchymal precursor cells have been evaluated. Based on the above information, we propose COLLAGEN-POLYVINYLPYRROLIDONE (Distinctive name: FibroquelMR, active substance: Collagen-polyvinylpyrrolidone, pharmaceutical form: intramuscular injectable solution, with sanitary registration No. 201M95 SSA IV and SSA code: 010 000 3999) as a potential drug for the downregulation of the cytokine storm. Polymerized type I collagen reduces the expression of IL-1β, IL-8, TNF-alpha, TGF-β1, IL-17, Cox-1, leukocyte adhesion molecules (ELAM-1, VCAM- 1 and ICAM-1), some other mediators of inflammation and increases the levels of IL-10 and the number of regulatory T cells. In addition, it promotes the mechanisms of inhibition of tissue fibrosis, without adverse effects in rheumatoid arthritis and osteoarthritis.

This is a prospective, multicenter, randomized, open-label study to investigate the efficacy and safety of eltrombopag plus recombinant human thrombopoietin (rhTPO) versus eltrombopag as treatment for corticosteroid-resistant or relapsed immune thrombocytopenia (ITP) during the COVID-19 pandemic.
University College Hospital Galway
The investigators present a randomised open label phase Ib/IIa trial of nebulised unfractionated heparin to evaluate the effect of nebulised unfractionated heparin on the procoagulant response in ICU patients with SARS-CoV-2 requiring advanced respiratory support. As this is one of the first studies of nebulised heparin in COVID 19 lung disease the investigators will assess safety as a co-primary outcome.

The global escalation of COVID19 pandemic has put the health care system under pressure with urgent need for treatment. In the absence of vaccine and approved drug against SARS-COV2 over the past 6 months, the health authorities were obliged to re-purpose existing drugs to fight this pandemic.

Title: Phase I/II Trial (Safety and Dosing) of Povidone-iodine (PVP-I) Nasal Swab For Preventing COVID-19 Spread in Healthy Subjects: Summary: This study will evaluate in a PH I/II trial in healthy volunteers the safety and tolerability of PVP-I nasal swabs daily application. The intent is to follow with a PH III randomized controlled clinical trial to assess the capacity for PVP-I nasal swabs to mitigate the transmission of respiratory viruses specifically COVID 19.

Rationale: The renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system (RAAS) dysregulation may play a central role in the pathophysiology of Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection associated acute lung injury (ALI) / acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). In the RAAS, Angiotensin I (Ang I) is converted to angiotensin II (Ang II) by angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE). Ang II mediates vasoconstrictive, pro-inflammatory and pro-oxidative effects through agonism at Ang II type 1 receptor (AT1R). ACE2 converts Ang II to angiotensin 1-7 (Ang1-7), which finally binds to Mas receptor (MasR) and mediates many beneficial actions, including vasodilation and anti-inflammatory, anti-oxidant and antiapoptotic effects. ACE2, a homologue of ACE, is an integral cell membrane protein with a catalytic domain on the extracellular surface exposed to vasoactive peptides. SARS-CoV-2 penetrates the cell through ACE2, and the increase of this receptor (due to the use of ACE inhibitors or angiotensin receptor blockers [ARBs]) may facilitate SARS-CoV-2 infection, which might increase the risk of developing severe and fatal SARS-CoV-2 infection. However, through upregulation of ACE2, ACE inhibitors/ARBs can exert anti-inflammatory and antioxidative effects, which may be beneficial in preventing ALI and ARDS. Objective: To evaluate the effectiveness and safety of telmisartan in respiratory failure due to COVID-19. Study design: This is an open label, phase 2 clinical trial. Study population: Adult hospitalized SARS-CoV-2-infected patients (n=60). Intervention: The active-treatment arm will receive telmisartan 40 mg daily and the control arm will receive standard care. Treatment duration will be 14 days or up to hospital discharge

Viral infections provoke the systemic inflammatory response and cause an imbalance between the procoagulant and anticoagulant homeostatic mechanisms. Multiple pathogenic mechanisms are involved, including endothelial dysfunction, increased von Willebrand factor, Toll receptor activation, and tissue factor pathway activation. D-dimer levels greater than 1000 ng / mL are associated with an 18-fold increased risk of mortality. In this context, many patients may require prophylaxis or antithrombotic treatment with low molecular weight heparins. Currently, there is no validated scheme on the dose and timing of the use of antithrombotic drugs. The study aims to identify the effect of two anticoagulant strategies (prophylactic and therapeutic) on the progression to ventilatory support or death in patients with COVID-19 infection who require hospital care.

This study is a multi-center randomized, controlled, and blinded clinical trial study that will be performed in four medical-educational centers. In this study, the samples will be selected from among patients with SARS-CoV-2 as easy access and based on entry criteria and will be randomly divided into two groups, including a control group and an intervention group. The study will be conducted in four medical centers. From each center, 56 definitive Corona patients will be selected, who will be randomly divided into two groups of 28, for a total of 224 patients will enter the study. In the intervention group, in addition to receiving the test spray, Patients will also receive standard treatment
