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.

This study is designed to evaluate a potential mechanism by which a hyperactive immune response may contribute to death from SARS-CoV-2; by an excessive neutrophil-mediated deposition of cell-free DNA in neutrophil extracellular traps (NET). Excessive amounts of NETs can increase rigidity of mucus, clog airways, and be agents for the development of acute respiratory distress (Narasaraju et al., Am J Pathol. 2011). Many aspects of this pathway have been observed in severe SARS-CoV-2 (Zhang et al., Respiratory research. 2020). Dornase alfa (DNAse I; Pulmozyme (Genentech) is a nebulized drug that works by degrading cell-free DNA and thus promoting airway clearance and recovery. The investigators hypothesize that by thinning mucus and degrading these NETs further lung damage may be prevented and a reduction in time to recovery may occur. The two aims of the study are to see if inhaled/nebulized dornase alfa will improve clinical outcome measures in SARS-CoV-2 related acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) and to see if dornase alfa reduces the amount of bronchoalveolar lavage and blood markers of NET activity. The study will recruit patients who are on mechanical ventilation for respiratory failure related to SARS-CoV-2 positive infection and have ARDS based upon Berlin criteria. The investigators aim to recruit 10-20 patients for this study.

The trial evaluates the efficacy and safety of Tocilizumab, which rapidly reduces the inflammation process through inhibition of IL-6 in patients with moderate to severe COVID-19 with increased inflammatory markers. There will be two arms in the trial, one receiving the best supportive care, and the other receiving it plus tocilizumab. Patients will be followed until Day 29 after randomization.

This is a Phase 2 randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, multicenter study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of pacritinib in hospitalized patients with severe COVID-19 with or without cancer.
Theravance Biopharma
This Phase 2 study will evaluate the efficacy, safety, pharmacodynamics and pharmacokinetics of inhaled TD-0903 compared with a matching placebo in combination with standard of care (SOC) in hospitalized patients with confirmed COVID-19 associated acute lung injury and impaired oxygenation.
West Virginia University
The purpose of this study is to understand if it is safe and useful to perform SGB (Stellate Ganglion Block) in patients who have severe lung injury Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome (ARDS) due to COVID-19 infection.

Patients with mild and severe coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID 19) will be randomized 3:1:1:3 into four groups: colchicine, ruxolitinib, secukinumab, and control groups. . Patients will be follow-up during 45 days after randomization. Change in clinical assessment score COVID 19 (CAS COVID 19) between baseline and 12th day will be evaluated as the primary endpoint. Risk of death or mechanical ventilation during 45 days after randomization will also be assessed

Increased Risk of SARS-CoronaVirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2) Infection Associated With Endoscopy (DECORE Study)
The aim of our study to compare the proportion of patients who develop SARS-CoV-2 disease in 3 groups: patients undergoing a abdominal ultrasound examination in a Specialty Center, patients undergoing endoscopic procedure in a third level hospital with CoronaVirus Disease (COVID-19) hospitalization plants and patients who make a telephonic visit (do not go to the hospital) in the digestive system service.
Northwell Health
The aim of this study is to test the hypothesis that prophylaxis of severe COVID-19 patients with treatment dose LMWH leads to better thromboembolic-free outcomes and associated complications during hospitalization than prophylaxis with institutional standard of care with prophylactic to intermediate-doses of UFH or LMWH

Resveratrol is a plant polyphenol (that is sold commercially as a supplement) that might help fight coronavirus as well as help protect the body from the effects of disease (COVID-19) caused by the infection. In this proof-of-concept pilot study we will compare the effects of resveratrol to placebo to assess the safety of the resveratrol and explore effectiveness.
