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 propose of this study is implement adjuvant therapy with adipose tissue derived-mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) for critical COVID-19 patients admitted to the intensive care unit of the Regional Hospital Lic. Adolfo López Mateos of the Institute for Social Security and Services for State Workers to reduce cytokine storm and contribute to the favorable resolution of respiratory insufficiency and multiple organic failure.

The worldwide COVID-19 pandemic has led to a dramatic increase in the number of patients hospitalized in intensive care units for an acute respiratory failure in all countries. This situation has quickly led to massive shortage in masks, mechanical ventilation machines and common medications such as hypnotics. All countries over the world are currently experiencing a major shortage in basic hypnotic medications (propofol, midazolam) in the intensive care as well as in the operating theatre. The Principal Investigator proposes to perform a pilot study assessing the benefit-risk ratio of Remimazolam (a novel benzodiazepine with a short half-life) in the critical care units of Nantes University Hospital during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Hospital Santa Marcelina
The investigators propose a prospective, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study, conducted in two phases. The purpose of the study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of methotrexate in a cholesterol-rich non-protein nanoparticle (MTX -LDE) in adults diagnosed with mild Coronavirus-19(COVID-19) disease. A total of 100 patients will be randomized to receive MTX-LDE or placebo each 7 days, up to 3 times, during in hospital treatment.
University of Pecs
This is a Phase 3, open-label, multi-center, interventional safety study of REM therapy in participants 12 years of age or older with COVID-19, pneumonia and oxygen supplementation.
University Hospital, Strasbourg, France
The purpose of our prospective monocentric, randomized, controlled trial is to evaluate the effects of intravenous lidocaine on gas exchange and inflammation in acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) due or not to Covid-19 pneumonia. Half of the patients will receive intravenous lidocaine and the other half will receive intravenous NaCl 0,9 % as placebo.
Clene Nanomedicine
This is a multi-site, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study assessing the efficacy and safety of ZnAg liquid solution in symptomatic participants with acute COVID-19 that are not hospitalized at the time of enrollment.
Fundacion Clinica Valle del Lili
This open label randomized controlled multicenter phase II trial will evaluate the clinical impact of the use of HFNC vs. conventional oxygen therapy in patients with moderate and severe hypoxemic acute respiratory failure secondary to SARS-CoV-2 infection.

The coronavirus disease (COVID-19) epidemic represents a major therapeutic challenge. The highly contagious severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-COV-2) and the long duration of the disease have led to a massive influx of patients admitted in health services and intensive care units. To current knowledge, there is no treatment yet that that can prevent infection from SARS-COV-2 virus, nor the disease progression to a severe form. Daily active smokers are rare among outpatients or hospitalized COVID-19 patients. Several arguments suggest that nicotine could be responsible for this protective effect thank to the nicotinic acetylcholine receptor (nAChR). Based on epidemiological data and experimental data from scientific literature, we hypothesize that nicotine could inhibit the penetration and spread of the virus and improve the management of COVID19 , particularly in hospitalized patients to prevent adverse outcomes (death, transfer to intensive care unit, care limitation, mechanical ventilation an high flow oxygen).

COVID-19 is a viral respiratory and systemic disease that has been rapidly spreading globally since the first cases were reported in December 2019 and has now become pandemic. The causative agent of COVID-19 was identified as a novel coronavirus named severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2, first designated as 2019-nCoV). The disease manifestations of COVID-19 can range from mild, self-resolving respiratory disease to severe pneumonia, ARDS, multiorgan failure, and ultimately death. In early reports, the mortality rate among patients admitted to hospital and with confirmed SARS-CoV-2 infection was reported to be between 4 and 15%. Although the disease can afflict all age groups, elderly patients and patients with underlying comorbidities such as high body mass index, hypertension, diabetes, cardiovascular disease, or cerebrovascular disease are at risk of developing severe disease and dying. There are currently no etiologic treatments for COVID-19, and efforts are underway to identify therapeutics that could be effective in controlling this disease.
