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.

: Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is an infectious disease caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). SAB Biotherapeutics has developed SAB-185, an Anti-SARS-CoV-2 Human Immunoglobulin Intravenous (transchromosomic [Tc] bovine-derived), as a potential therapeutic to treat COVID-19. This study will evaluate the safety, immunogenicity, and pharmacokinetics of SAB-185 in ambulatory participants with COVID-19.
Biophytis
The COVA clinical study is a global multicentric, double-blind, placebo-controlled, group sequential and adaptive 2 parts phase 2-3 study targeting in patients with SARS-CoV-2 pneumonia. Part 1 is a Phase 2 exploratory Proof of Concept (PoC) study to provide preliminary data on the activity, safety and tolerability of BIO101 in the target population. Part 2 is a phase 3 pivotal randomized study to provide further evidence of safety and efficacy of BIO101 after 28 days of double-blind dosing. BIO101 is the investigational new drug that activates the Mas receptor (MasR) through the protective arm of the Renin Angiotensin System (RAS).

This study is a pilot randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical trial to evaluate the safety and efficacy of melatonin in adult outpatients suspected to be afflicted with COVID-19.

COVID-19 is causing a serious viral pandemic in terms of health and social impact. To date, no treatment has yet demonstrated Strong efficacy in treating the infectious disease (COVID-19). Pulmonary administration of Interferon (IFN) type I is a therapeutic strategy with high potential,due to higher local concentrations and minimal adverse effects. Type I interferons (including IFN-α and IFN-β) are antiviral defence cytokines and also have the potential to negatively modulate IFN Type II and IL-6 dependent cytokine storm, the latter being induced in the late forms of COVID-19. In vitro, IFN-β were more effective on COVID-19 than IFN-α. In existing preliminary studies, only patients receiving IFN type I modulators have a decrease in viral carriage and a rapid reversal. The purpose of this project is to assess in hospitalized patients with oxygen for COVID 19, the clinical efficacy on oxygen requirements of the addition of inhaled Interferon type I compared to the control arm .

MITIGATE is a prospective, open-label, parallel-group, randomized, pragmatic clinical trial. The MITIGATE Study has been designed to evaluate the real-world clinical effectiveness of pre-treatment with icosapent ethyl (IPE), also known as Vascepa®, compared to usual standard of care to prevent and reduce the sequelae of laboratory-confirmed viral upper respiratory infection (URI)-related (i.e., COVID-19, influenza, and other known viral respiratory pathogens) morbidity and mortality in a high-risk cohort of adults with established atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD).

Respiratory infection with the SARS-CoV2 virus is associated with a major risk of viral pneumonia that can lead to respiratory distress requiring resuscitation. In the most severe forms, it may require a mechanical ventilation or even lead to an acute respiratory distress syndrome with a particularly poor prognosis. The SARS-CoV2 is a single-stranded RNA virus of positive polarity and belongs to the beta genus of Coronaviruses. SARS-CoV2 is responsible for the third epidemic in less than twenty years secondary to a Coronavirus (SARS-CoV then MERS-CoV) and if the mortality associated with it is lower than that of previous strains, particularly MERS-CoV (Middle East Respiratory Syndrome), its spread is considerably bigger. As a result, the number of patients developing respiratory distress that require an invasive mechanical ventilation is high, with prolonged ventilation duration in these situations.
Merck Sharp & Dohme LLC
The primary objective of this early Phase 1/2 study is to identify the V591 dose that achieves the target immune response in humans based on preclinical or early clinical data.
Gilead Sciences
The primary objectives of this study are to evaluate the efficacy of remdesivir (RDV) in reducing the rate of of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) related hospitalization or all-cause death in non-hospitalized participants with early stage COVID-19 and to evaluate the safety of RDV administered in an outpatient setting.

The aim of this study is to test Cenicriviroc (CVC) as a means to reduce the severity of the lung disease COVID-19 caused by an infection with SARS-CoV-2. The safety of CVC, when administered to COVID-19 patients, will also be assessed. Furthermore, the clinical trial aims to answer the question of whether patients with pre-existing conditions, who have an increased risk of severe COVID-19 progression, benefit more and particularly from CVC. CVC is an orally available dual inhibitor of the chemokine receptors CCR2 and CCR5, which is expected to reduce (hyper-) inflammation in COVID-19. The main goal of the study is to determine whether CVC helps increase the number of patients who are symptom-free and not hospitalized after 14 days compared to a placebo. Approximately 66.7% of the patients enrolled in the study will receive CVC and 33.3% will get an optically identical pill (placebo). Subjects will be assessed daily while hospitalized. Discharged patients will be asked to attend study visits at Days 8, 15, 22, and 29 and 85. All subjects will undergo a series of clinical, safety, and laboratory assessments. Blood samples and oropharyngeal (OP) swabs will be obtained on Day 1; 3, 5 (while hospitalized); and Day 8, 15 and 29 (if able to return to clinic or still hospitalized). The presence of anti-SARS-CoV-2 antibodies will be determined on Days 29 and 85.
