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.

The prone position strategy for patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) is simple and cost-effective from the first description on its use in patients with acute respiratory failure to improve hypoxemia. Different studies have investigated its safety and efficacy in various clinical settings, demonstrating that its early use in combination with non-invasive mechanical ventilation (NIV) or high-flow oxygen therapy can reduce intubation rate and mortality in ARDS. In the Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic, high-value medicine and resource optimization are critical.

Considering that simvastatin, and probably statins in general, interfere with SARS-cov-2 cellular uptake and some inflammatory pathways activated by the virus, those patients on statin therapy should be less vulnerable to infection and their clinical course and prognosis should be better than that in individuals not on statin therapy.

The new coronavirus outbreak has led to a public health emergency of international concern, putting all health organizations on high alert. As part of the hygienic measures, isolation and reinforcement cleaning strategies have been followed. It is known that special attention and efforts should be applied to protect or reduce transmission in susceptible populations, including the elderly or those with comorbidities.It has also been proposed a semaforization to classify patients with respiratory symptoms based on: Fever (38ºC or more), dry cough, headache, dyspnea, joint pain, muscle pain, sore throat, nose discharge, conjunctivitis, chest pain, diarrhea, anosmia, ageusia. Nitazoxanide has shown to be effective against several viruses, of both types RNA and DNA, including other coronavirus that produced the Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS) and the Middle East Respiratory Syndrome (MERS). Facing the lack of options against COVID-19 outbreaks for example in health workers, nitazoxanide could contribute to decrease the contagious dissemination of SARS-CoV-2, thus reducing at the same time the Hospital saturation of patients positive to this virus.

Designed as a multi-center, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study to assess the efficacy and safety of EIDD-2801 on SARS-CoV-2 Virus Shedding in Newly Hospitalized Adults with polymerase chain reaction (PCR)-Confirmed COVID-19.

This is a randomized controlled trial of the efficacy and safety evaluation of oral administration of Bromhexine hydrochloride for the prevention of SARS-CoV-2 infection and COVID-19 disease in medical personnel assisting patients with a new coronavirus disease

ACTT-3 will evaluate the combination of interferon beta-1a and remdesivir compared to remdesivir alone. 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 and oropharyngeal (OP) swab and blood (serum only) samples for secondary research as well as clinical outcome data. However, infection control or other restrictions may limit the ability of the subject to return to the clinic. In this case, 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 outcome is time to recovery by Day 29.

This study aims to analyze the efficacy and safety of passive immunotherapy by administering an equine hyperimmune serum (INM005) against the SARS-CoV2 RBD to Covid19 patients. Improvement of the clinical course 28 days after the start of treatment will be evaluated.

Coronavirus disease-2019 (COVID-19) has a quoted inpatient mortality as high as 25%. This high mortality may be driven by hyperinflammation resembling cytokine release syndrome (CRS), offering the hope that therapies targeting the interleukin-6 (IL-6) axis therapies commonly used to treat CRS can be used to reduce COVID-19 mortality. Retrospective analysis of severe to critical COVID-19 patients receiving tocilizumab demonstrated that the majority of patients had rapid resolution (i.e., within 24-72 hours following administration) of both clinical and biochemical signs (fever and CRP, respectively) of hyperinflammation with only a single tocilizumab dose. Hypotheses: 1. Tocilizumab is effective in decreasing signs, symptoms, and laboratory evidence of COVID-19 pneumonitis in hospitalized, non-critically ill patients with clinical risk factors for clinical decompensation, intensive care utilization, and death. 2. Low-dose tocilizumab is effective in decreasing signs, symptoms, and laboratory evidence of COVID-19 pneumonitis in hospitalized, non-critically ill patients with and without clinical risk factors for clinical decompensation, intensive care utilization, and death. Objectives: 1. To establish proof of concept that tocilizumab is effective in decreasing signs, symptoms, and laboratory evidence of COVID-19 pneumonitis in hospitalized, non-critically ill patients with clinical risk factors for clinical decompensation, intensive care utilization, and death, as determined by the clinical outcome of resolution of fever and the biochemical outcome measures of time to CRP normalization for the individual patient and the rate of patients whose CRP normalize. 2. To establish proof of concept that low-dose tocilizumab is effective in decreasing signs, symptoms, and laboratory evidence of COVID-19 pneumonitis in hospitalized, non-critically ill patients without clinical risk factors for clinical decompensation, intensive care utilization, and death, as determined by the clinical outcome of resolution of fever and the biochemical outcome measures of time to CRP normalization for the individual patient and the rate of patients whose CRP normalize.
