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.

The aim of this study is to analyze if administration of conestat alfa for 72 hours in addition to standard of care (SOC) in patients hospitalized with non-critical SARS-CoV-2 pneumonia (WHO Ordinal Scale Score 3 or 4) reduces the risk of disease progression to Acute Lung Injury (ALI) and Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome (ARDS).

At the time of writing (3/4/2020), close to a million people have been infected by the SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus around the world. The severe clinical condition that leads to deaths is now called CoVID-19. Currently, there are no effective treatments for the early or late stages of this illness. Governments worldwide have undertaken dramatic interventions to try and reduce the rate of spread of this deadly coronavirus. Early data from multiple studies in China, where the virus originated, show that severe cases of CoVID-19 are not as prevalent in patients with chronic lung diseases as expected. This data has been confirmed by the Italian physicians. The investigators think that the widespread use of inhaled corticosteroids reduces the risk of CoVID-19 pneumonia in patients with chronic lung disease. Early microbiological data also shows that these corticosteroids are effective at slowing down the rate of coronavirus replication on lung cells. Inhaled corticosteroids are widely used to manage common lung conditions, such as asthma. This type of medicine is among the top 3 most common medication prescribed around the world. Their safety is well understood, and their potential side effects are mild and reversible. The investigators propose to test this idea that, in participants early in the course of CoVID-19 illness, daily high dose inhaled corticosteroids for 28 days, will reduce the chances of severe respiratory illness needing hospitalisation. We will also study the effect of this inhaled therapy on symptoms and viral load.

This proof of concept study will take place in the US and other countries in approximately 15 clinical sites and will enroll about 40 hospitalized patients diagnosed with COVID-19 infection who have developed pneumonia and require supplemental oxygen. 20 patients will receive opaganib in addition to standard of care twice each day for 14 days. 20 will receive matching placebo in addition to standard of care unless the patient has been discharged from the hospital without requiring supplemental oxygen, in which case study drug will only be administered for 10 days. All participants will be followed up for 4 weeks after their last dose of study drug.

The purpose of this study is to determine whether hydroxychloroquine is an effective prophylactic regimen to prevent SARS-CoV-2 infection among healthcare workers. Participants will be randomized into two parallel groups. The first arm will evaluate the use of hydroxychloroquine every-other-day plus standard measures of protection for the prevention of SARS-CoV-2. The second arm will evaluate the use of standard measures of protection for the prevention of SARS-CoV-2. The target enrollment is 320 participants. Each study participant will be monitored for SARS-CoV-2 seroconversion in weekly visits or for the development of COVID-19 symptoms for 8 weeks.

Patients with moderate to severe COVID-19 present a very high risk of thromboembolic disease.This multicenter, prospective, randomized, event-driven study evaluates rivaroxaban compared with standard of care with low-molecular-weight heparin (LMWH) or unfractionated heparin (UFH) at prophylactic doses comparing D-dimer levels and the seven-category ordinal scale recommended by the WHO 7 days post randomization in patients with moderate to severe COVID-19. Experimental intervention/Index test: Patients randomized into the rivaroxaban arm will receive rivaroxaban 20 mg once daily (OD) until day 7 post randomization or hospital discharge, whichever occurs later, followed by a 28-day-phase of prophylactic anticoagulation with rivaroxaban 10mg OD. Subjects with an eGFR between 30 and 50ml/min/1,73m2, will receive 15mg instead of 20mg OD. Control intervention/Reference test: The control group will receive standard of care including LMWH or UFH as thromboprophylaxis. Duration of intervention per patient: The total duration of the study treatment is flexible. For out-patients 7 days of therapeutic anticoagulation will be accompanied by 28 days-phase of prophylactic anticoagulation, summing up to 35 days. For subjects that require hospitalization, the duration of therapeutic anticoagulation will be at least 7 days or prolonged until discharge if hospitalized for more than 7 days post randomization. After discharge from the hospital the subject receives 28 days of thromboprophylaxis with rivaroxaban. No study medication will be given past day 60 post randomization. This adds up to a study duration between 35 and 60 days depending on the duration of the hospital stay. Follow-up per patient: The study has a follow-up of 60 days. Experimental and/or control off label or on label in Germany: Rivaroxaban has been approved for multiple indications worldwide. Over 100,000 subjects have been studied from Phase 1 through multiple large Phase 4 studies in multiple settings, e.g. for the reduction in the risk of stroke and systemic embolism in arterial fibrillation, deep vein thrombosis and pulmonary embolism, major cardiovascular events. The drug had not been studied in patients with COVID-19 as an anticoagulant agent, yet.

Patients suffering lung failure, possibly from COVID-19 or hypoxic lung failure, will need life-saving support from a breathing machine. Any patient needing this support requires drugs to keep them sleepy, or "sedated" to be comfortable on this machine. Sedation is made possible by using drugs given through a vein. Unfortunately, these drugs are in short supply worldwide due to the high number of COVID-19 patients needing these machines. Another way to provide sleep is by using gases that are breathed in. These are used every day in operating rooms to perform surgery. These gases, also called "inhaled agents" can also be used in intensive care units and may have several important benefits for patients and the hospital. Research shows they may reduce swelling in the lung and increase oxygen levels, which allows patients to recover faster and reduce the time spent on a breathing machine. In turn, this allows the breathing machine to be used again for the next sick patient. These drugs may also increase the number of patients who live through their illness. Inhaled agents are widely available and their use could dramatically lesson the pressure on limited drug supplies. This research is a study being carried out in a number of hospitals that will compare how well patients recover from these illnesses depending on which type of sedation drug they receive. The plan is to evaluate the number who survive, their time spent on a breathing machine and time in the hospital. This study may show immediate benefits and may provide a cost effective and practical solution to the current challenges caring for patients and the hospital space, equipment and drugs to the greatest benefit. Furthermore, the study will be investigating inflammatory profile and neuro-cognitive profiles in ventilated patients. Finally, this trial will be a team of experts in sedation drugs who care for patients with proven or suspected COVID-19 who need lifesaving treatments.
