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.

HYPOTHESIS: The administration of vitamin D supplements to patients who have a positive diagnosis for SARS-Cov-2, acute pneumonia requiring hospital admission and vitamin D deficiency have a more favourable evolution than subjects not treated with vitamin D (placebo). This favourable evolution will translate into a reduction in mortality, fewer ICU admissions and fewer days of stay in hospital. OBJECTIVES: PRINCIPAL: To assess whether the group of patients receiving vitamin D supplements have a less severe evolution of their acute pneumonia, translated into lower mortality, than patients who do not receive that supplement. SECONDARY: 1) To determine the number of intensive care admissions and the number of days of admission in both groups (control group and intervention group). 2) To estimate the prevalence of Vitamin D deficiency in the patients studied and the effectiveness of its supplementation. 3) To establish the degree of complexity of each study group and carry out a cost-effectiveness study. METHODOLOGY: DESIGN: Clinical trial, randomized, placebo-controlled and double-blind, with two parallel groups The active treatment will be vitamin D (Hydroferol soft capsules of 0.266 mg). The placebo will consist of a tablet with the same external characteristics and with the same treatment scheme but which will not contain any vitamin D active ingredients.

The Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome COronaVirus 2 (SARS-CoV2) is a new and recognized infectious disease of the respiratory tract. Around 20% of those infected have severe pneumonia and currently there is no specific or effective therapy to treat this disease. Therapeutic options using malaria drugs chloroquine and hydroxychloroquine have shown promising results in vitro and in vivo test. But those efforts have not involved large, carefully-conducted controlled studies that would provide the global medical community the proof that these drugs work on a significant scale. In this way, the present study will evaluate the effectiveness and safety of the use of hydroxychloroquine combined with azithromycin compared to hydroxychloroquine monotherapy in patients hospitalized with pneumonia by SARS-CoV2 virus.

COVID-19 has rapidly evolved into a generalized global pandemic. Post-exposure prophylaxis (PEP) against on COVID-19 was identified as an urgent research priority by the WHO, and lopinavir/ritonavir (LPV/r) is a promising candidate for both COVID-19 treatment and PEP, with a good safety profile and global availability. This is a cluster randomized controlled trial (RCT) of oral LPV/r as PEP against COVID-19, that will address the immediate need for preventive interventions, generate key data on COVID-19 transmission, and serve as a research platform for future vaccines and preventive agents.

In the current proposal, the investigators aim to investigate the virological and clinical effects of chloroquine treatment in patients with established COVID-19 in need of hospital admission. Patients will be randomized in a 1:1 fashion to standard of care or standard of care with the addition of therapy with chloroquine.

DisCoVeRy is a randomized controlled trial among adults (≥18-year-old) hospitalized for COVID-19. This study is an adaptive, randomized, open or blinded, depending on the drug to be evaluated, clinical trial to evaluate the safety and efficacy of possible therapeutic agents in hospitalized adult patients diagnosed with COVID-19. The study is a multi-centre/country trial that will be conducted in various sites in Europe with Inserm as sponsor. The study will compare different investigational therapeutic agents to a control group managed with the SoC including corticosteroids and anticoagulants. There will be interim monitoring to allow early stopping for safety and to introduce new therapies as they become available. If one therapy proves to be superior to others in the trial, this treatment may become part of the SoC for comparison(s) with new experimental treatment(s). In previous versions of the DisCoVeRy protocol, remdesivir, lopinavir/ritonavir with or without interferon ß-1a and hydroxychloroquine were evaluated as potential treatments for COVID-19. These treatments have been discontinued based on analyses review by both DSMC/DSMB, the Solidarity Executive Group and the DisCoVeRy steering committee. This version of the protocol, therefore, describes a randomized blinded placebo-controlled trial among adults (≥18-year-old) hospitalized for COVID-19 that randomly allocates them (1:1 ratio) between 2 arms: SoC + placebo versus SoC + AZD7442. Randomization will be stratified by region (according to the administrative definition in each country), antigenic status (positive or negative) obtained from the result of a rapid antigen test on nasopharyngeal swab performed at enrolment and vaccination initiation (yes or no). The primary analyses will be conducted on patients with antigen-positive results. A positive antigenic test is evidence of high viral shedding consistent with a recently started or uncontrolled infection. Overall, the number of antigen-negative patients will be at most 30% of all included subjects. The number of patients with vaccination (partly or fully) will be limited to 20% of all participants, split evenly between antigen positive and antigen negative patients (i.e. vaccinated patients can make up at most 20% of antigene positive patients and 20% of antigene negative patients). Sensitivity analyses will be performed in all patients, stratified by antigenic status and vaccination initiation. A global independent data and safety monitoring board (DSMB) monitors interim data to make recommendations about early study closure or changes to conduct, including adding or removing treatment arms. However, the current version of the protocol does not allow for efficacy or futility analysis, and the ability to add trial arms will be limited by the study being blinded and placebo-controlled during the investigation of AZD7442.
