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.

Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) patients have an underlying immune deficiency and typically treated with immunosuppressive drugs, which may increase the risk of COVID-19 infection. Hydroxychloroquine (HCQ) has been found to possess antiviral activity against COVID-19. Thus, the aim of this study to investigate the ability of HCQ to reduce the risk of COVID-19 among RA patients.
Farmoquimica S.A.
The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of the drug nitazoxanide 600 mg, administered three times a day, in relation to placebo in preventing the development of COVID-19 in subjects from vulnerable communities that had direct contact with patients diagnosed with the disease.
Deutsches Rotes Kreuz DRK-Blutspendedienst Baden-Wurttemberg-Hessen
This is a randomized, prospective, multicenter, open label clinical trial of convalescent plasma compared to best supportive care for treatment of patients with severe COVID-19. The aim of the study is to explore the therapeutic effect of convalescent plasma transfusions on the survival and course of disease of patients with severe COVID-19. Convalescent plasma will be collected from recovered COVID-19 patients. Patients with severe COVID-19 will be randomly assigned to two groups. Patients in the treatment group will receive covalescent plasma (250 - 325 ml) on days 1, 3 and 5. Patients in the control group will receive best supportive care. Clinical condition in all patients will be evaluated on day 14. In case of progressive COVID-19 on day 14 compared to baseline, patients in the control group may be switched to treatment with convalescent plasma on days 15, 17 and 19. Fifty-three patients will be included in each group. Data of each patient will be collected until discharge but nor longer than day 60.
University of New Mexico
This is an open label pilot study designed to provide access to treatment with investigational convalescent plasma and assess the relationship between NAb titers in the investigational convalescent plasma compared to changes in NAb levels in the recipient in hospitalized patients with COVID-19.
Temple University
The primary aim of this study is to test whether Doxycycline can benefit patients with severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infections by inhibiting the replication of the virus while at the same time blocking the development of cytokine storms or inhibiting cytokine-associated coagulopathy respectively. The investigators hypothesize that Doxycycline will will improve survival and reduce morbidity in SARS-CoV-2 infected patients. A secondary aim is to identify genetic variants that predict either an unusually mild disease or an unusually severe disease - knowledge that can be used to design new and precise medications and to be able to predict patients who might get into early trouble and to therefore hospitalize them.
Ono Pharmaceutical Co. Ltd
The primary aim of this study is to determine whether Camostat mesylate reduces SARS-COV-2 associated coagulopathy. Additional aims are to determine the effect of Camostat mesylate on SARS-COV-2 associated myocardial injury, to assess duration of hypoxia or intubation, to evaluate the length of intensive care unit and hospital stay, and assess mortality rates.
MediciNova
The study aims to evaluate MN-166 (ibudilast) in patients with COVID-19 who are at risk of developing acute respiratory distress syndrome. Subjects will be screened, randomly assigned to MN-166 or placebo groups, receive study drug on Days 1-7, and followed up on Day 14 and Day 28.
Aalborg University Hospital
Patients with COVID-19 and hypoxaemic respiratory failure and admitted to the intensive care unit (ICU) are treated with supplementary oxygen as a standard. However, quality of quantity evidence regarding this practise is low. The aim of the HOT-COVID trial is to evaluate the benefits and harms of two targets of partial pressure of oxygen in arterial blood (PaO2) in guiding the oxygen therapy in acutely ill adult COVID-19 patients with hypoxaemic respiratory failure at ICU admission.
Inotrem
This is a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, in which one dose of nangibotide will be tested versus placebo. All patients with a diagnosis of COVID-19, and a requirement for respiratory support will be considered for study participation. The applicable local requirements for informed consent will be followed. Where permissible, an emergency consent procedure will be followed for patients unable to provide consent by themselves. All potential study patients will receive standard of care treatment throughout the study. Patients will receive a continuous intravenous (i.v.) infusion of nangibotide at 1.0 mg/kg/h or a matching placebo. Treatment with study drug must be initiated as early as possible but no later than 48 hours after the initiation of ventilatory support (Patients will be treated for 5 days or until discharge from critical care, whichever is sooner). Follow-up visits will be performed on days 8 and 14. The end of study visit is at day 28. A further follow up visit will be undertaken on day 60.
Federal Knowledge Centre (KCE)
This a phase II, proof-of-concept study. In the present study, we investigate if the administration of blood-plasma from patients recovered from COVID-19, could be effective to treat patients who are severely ill because of a COVID-19 infection. The general idea behind the transfusion, is that plasma of recovered patients contains antibodies that could eliminate the novel coronavirus causing COVID-19, and lead to a less severe course of the disease, or a faster healing. Simply put, in this study we would like to investigate whether 'borrowed immunity' from a person who has cured from this disease, could be applied to cure other patients more rapidly.
