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.

COVID-19 outcomes are worse in male patients. Androgen signaling, therefore, is a target for clinical exploration. TMPRSS2 is a membrane protease required for COVID pathogenesis that is regulated by androgens. Blocking TMPRSS2 with bicalutamide may reduce viral replication and improve the clinical outcome. Therefore, the study proposes to test bicalutamide at 150 mg oral daily dosing in a double-blind placebo-controlled randomized trial in male patients with early symptomatic COVID-19 disease.

Rationale: The renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system (RAAS) dysregulation may play a central role in the pathophysiology of Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection associated acute lung injury (ALI) / acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). In the RAAS, Angiotensin I (Ang I) is converted to angiotensin II (Ang II) by angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE). Ang II mediates vasoconstrictive, pro-inflammatory and pro-oxidative effects through agonism at Ang II type 1 receptor (AT1R). ACE2 converts Ang II to angiotensin 1-7 (Ang1-7), which finally binds to Mas receptor (MasR) and mediates many beneficial actions, including vasodilation and anti-inflammatory, anti-oxidant and antiapoptotic effects. ACE2, a homologue of ACE, is an integral cell membrane protein with a catalytic domain on the extracellular surface exposed to vasoactive peptides. SARS-CoV-2 penetrates the cell through ACE2, and the increase of this receptor (due to the use of ACE inhibitors or angiotensin receptor blockers [ARBs]) may facilitate SARS-CoV-2 infection, which might increase the risk of developing severe and fatal SARS-CoV-2 infection. However, through upregulation of ACE2, ACE inhibitors/ARBs can exert anti-inflammatory and antioxidative effects, which may be beneficial in preventing ALI and ARDS. Objective: To evaluate the effectiveness and safety of telmisartan in respiratory failure due to COVID-19. Study design: This is an open label, phase 2 clinical trial. Study population: Adult hospitalized SARS-CoV-2-infected patients (n=60). Intervention: The active-treatment arm will receive telmisartan 40 mg daily and the control arm will receive standard care. Treatment duration will be 14 days or up to hospital discharge

The purpose of this study is to evaluate whether rivaroxaban reduces the risk of a composite endpoint of major venous and arterial thrombotic events, all-cause hospitalization, and all-cause mortality compared with placebo in outpatients with acute, symptomatic Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) Infection.

Viral infections provoke the systemic inflammatory response and cause an imbalance between the procoagulant and anticoagulant homeostatic mechanisms. Multiple pathogenic mechanisms are involved, including endothelial dysfunction, increased von Willebrand factor, Toll receptor activation, and tissue factor pathway activation. D-dimer levels greater than 1000 ng / mL are associated with an 18-fold increased risk of mortality. In this context, many patients may require prophylaxis or antithrombotic treatment with low molecular weight heparins. Currently, there is no validated scheme on the dose and timing of the use of antithrombotic drugs. The study aims to identify the effect of two anticoagulant strategies (prophylactic and therapeutic) on the progression to ventilatory support or death in patients with COVID-19 infection who require hospital care.

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. According to current knowledge, there are no treatments that prevent the spread of the infection, especially in exposed populations, or the disease progression to a severe form. Daily active smokers are infrequent among outpatients or hospitalized patients with COVID-19. Several arguments suggest that nicotine is responsible for this protective effect via the nicotinic acetylcholine receptor (nAChR). Nicotine may inhibit the penetration and spread of the virus and have a prophylactic effect in COVID-19 infection. However, the epidemic is progressing throughout French territory and new variants (in particular the "English B1. 1.7 variant of SARS-COV-2") much more contagious run a risk of accelerating the epidemic in the population. The anti-SARS-COV-2 vaccines recently launched (or being evaluated) represent great hope in this health crisis, but trials were only able to show their effectiveness on symptomatic forms of SARS-COV-2 infection. On the one hand, the vaccination compaign for the entire population requires many months,which leaves many unprotected subjects waiting. In addition, there is currently no evidence of a protective role of vaccines against asymptomatic forms of COVID-19 and therefore on SARS-COV-2 transmission. Finally, the nicotine patches may protect people in hight-risk areas/periods until they are vaccinated (if they accept it and are eligible for it) and in the post-vaccination weeks necessary for the effectiveness of the vaccine,which reinforces the importance of evaluating this alternative prevention strategy, in the context of the arrival of vaccines

This is a platform trial to conduct a series of randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trials using common assessments and endpoints in hospitalized adults diagnosed with Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19). Big Effect Trial (BET) is a proof-of-concept study with the intent of identifying promising treatments to enter a more definitive study. The study will be conducted in up to 70 domestic sites and 5 international sites. The study will compare different investigational therapeutic agents to a common control arm and determine which have relatively large effects. In order to maintain the double blind, each intervention will have a matched placebo. However, the control arm will be shared between interventions and may include participants receiving the matched placebo for a different intervention. The goal is not to determine clear statistical significance for an intervention, but rather to determine which products have clinical data suggestive of efficacy and should be moved quickly into larger studies. Estimates produced from BET will provide an improved basis for designing the larger trial, in terms of sample size and endpoint selection. Products with little indication of efficacy will be dropped on the basis of interim evaluations. In addition, some interventions may be discontinued on the basis of interim futility or efficacy analyses. One or more interventions may be started at any time. The number of interventions enrolling are programmatic decisions and will be based on the number of sites and the pace of enrollment. At the time of enrollment, subjects will be randomized to receive any one of the active arms they are eligible for or placebo. Approximately 200 (100 treatment and 100 shared placebo) subjects will be assigned to each arm entering the platform and a given site will generally have no more than 3 interventions at once. The BET-B stage will evaluate the combination of remdesivir with lenzilumab vs remdesivir with a lenzilumab placebo. The primary objective is to evaluate the clinical efficacy of different investigational therapeutics relative to the control arm in adults hospitalized with COVID-19 according to clinical status (8-point ordinal scale) at Day 8.
