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.

Coagulopathy of COVID-19 afflicts approximately 20% of patients with severe COVID-19 and is associated with need for critical care and death. COVID-19 coagulopathy is characterized by elevated D-dimer, an indicator of fibrin formation and clot lysis, and a mildly prolonged prothrombin time, suggestive of coagulation consumption. To date, it seems that COVID-19 coagulopathy manifests with thromboembolism, thus anticoagulation may be of benefit. We propose to conduct a parallel pragmatic multi-centre open-label randomized controlled trial to determine the effect of therapeutic anticoagulation compared to standard care in hospitalized patients admitted for COVID-19 with an elevated D-dimer.

The overall objective of the study is to determine the therapeutic effect and tolerance of Tocilizumab combined with Dexamethasone in patients with moderate, severe pneumonia or critical pneumonia associated with Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). Tocilizumab (TCZ) is an anti-human IL-6 receptor monoclonal antibody that inhibits signal transduction by binding sIL-6R and mIL-6R. The study has a cohort multiple Randomized Controlled Trials (cmRCT) design. Randomization will occur prior to offering Dexamethasone alone or Dexamethasone +Tocilizumab administration to patients enrolled in the CORIMUNO-19 cohort. Tocilizumab will be administered to consenting adult patients hospitalized with COVID-19 either diagnosed with moderate or severe pneumonia requiring no mechanical ventilation or critical pneumonia requiring mechanical ventilation. Patients who will chose not to receive Tocilizumab will receive standard of cares. Outcomes of Tocilizumab-treated patients will be compared with outcomes of standard of care (including Dexamethasone) treated patients

Essential workers in positions with increased likelihood of exposure to SARS-CoC-2 will be most impacted by the proposed project. Evidence has shown that the SARS-CoV-2 novel coronavirus is easily transmissable through close contact between individuals, especially during aerosol-generating procedures such as intubation of patients. The intervention proposed in this study (nasal and oral decontamination with povidone-iodine and chlorhexidine, respectively) presents an opportunity for a safe, effective, and feasible treatment to decontaminate the primary entry points for SARS-CoV-2. As such, the intervention to be studied in this project may protect healthcare and other essential workers by preventing transmission of SARS-CoV-2 from patients to healthcare workers, as well as the general public to essential worker,. and thus reducing the incidence of COVID-19 in these workers.

Preliminary data support the effect of Nitric Oxide (NO) on improving the oxygenation in mechanically ventilated patients and spontaneously breathing patients with COVID-19. In vitro studies showed an antiviral effect of NO against SARS-coronavirus. The optimal therapeutic regimen of NO gas in spontaneously breathing hypoxemic patients with COVID-19 is not known. We hypothesize that high concentration inhaled NO with an adjunct of continuous low dose administration between the high concentration treatments can be safely administered in hypoxemic COVID-19 patients compared to the high dose treatment alone. Prolonged administration of NO gas may benefit the patients in terms of the severity of the clinical course and time to recovery. Together with a clinical effect on ventilation-perfusion matching, a prolonged regimen would allow also an increase in antiviral activity (dose and time-dependent).

Pioglitazone is an approved anti-hyperglycemic medication and is thought to have anti-inflammatory properties. This study seeks to gather safety and tolerability data related to pioglitazone when given to patients who require hospital admission for confirmed positive COVID-19 infections with elevated blood sugar levels as compared to patients who did not receive pioglitazone during their hospitalization for COVID-19.
