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.

This study is designed to assess the safety and tolerability of single doses of DWRX2003 in COVID-19 patients.
Hospital de San Jose
This is a phase IIIa, prospective, open-label, randomized, parallel-group study designed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of oral colchicine plus standard therapy versus standard therapy in the clinical course of SARS-CoV-2 infection, in a population group with moderate COVID-19 compromise and requiring hospitalization.Aproximately 120 subjects meeting all inclusion and not inclusion criteria will be randomized to receive either Colchicine plus standard treatment or only standard treatment for 15 days
Biomed Industries, Inc.
In this randomized double blind Phase 3 clinical trial we will study the efficacy and safety of oral polio vaccine with and without NA-831 versus placebo.
Instituto de Seguridad y Servicios Sociales de los Trabajadores del Estado
Methods: Single-center pilot study included PCR+ SARS-CoV2-patients, hospitalized from April to May 2020 in Puebla, Mexico. Comparative treatment with steroids plus CsA or steroids. Mild, moderate or severe pneumonia was measured by clinical, laboratory tests, lung damage score by computed tomography, and score for clinical improvement. Death rate was evaluated at 28 days.

The purpose of this study is to assess the safety and efficacy of orally administered NLRP3 inhibitor, dapansutrile, for the treatment of moderate COVID-19 symptoms and early cytokine release syndrome (CRS) in patients with confirmed SARS-CoV-2 infection and moderate symptoms. Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is caused by infection from a new strain of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). COVID-19 is characterized by fever, cough and shortness of breath, which in certain patients can lead to systemic organ failure and mortality. The data show that SARS-CoV-2 activates the innate immune signaling sensor NLRP3. Activation of NLRP3 initiates the cytokine release syndrome (CRS), which includes the production of primary cytokine, IL-1, triggering an intense inflammatory response that is prevalent in symptomatic COVID-19 patients. When CRS advances further to a fulminant 'cytokine storm', the data show that respiratory distress syndrome and multiple-organ failure take place. A specific inhibitor of NLRP3, dapansutrile may reduce or prevent the hyperinflammation associated with CRS by inhibiting the production of IL-1β early to arrest the progression to a severe 'cytokine storm.' The end result would be a reduction in the need for COVID-19 patients to receive intensive medical treatment, allowing for fewer hospitalizations, administration of mechanical ventilation and deaths.
VA Office of Research and Development
The purpose of this study is to determine if treatment with convalescent plasma improves the clinical outcomes of Veterans who are hospitalized and require supplemental oxygen due to COVID-19.
Centre Médical de Kinshasa (CMK)
Investigators study meet the World Health Organization definition of a clinical trial because it is a prospective study in which participants will be assigned to intervention groups to investigate the effects on health outcomes. Investigators highlighted clearly the real problem that indigeneous patients are facing now in the Democratic Republic of the Congo: Poverty meaning the lack of money to buy goods and drugs. From the news report, investigators learned that "In the Democratic Republic of the Congo, indigenous communities in Kananga, Tshikapa and in the Kasai region are increasing their consumption of "Vernonia amygdalina," a traditional plant believed to cure several diseases, including alleviating COVID-19." Based on an unpublished work, quite a few extract molecules of Vernonia amygdalina are excellent antiviral candidates which are the family members of Remdesivir in terms of their antiviral mechanisms. Furthermore, the antiviral capabilities of these molecules are significantly stronger than or at least equivalent to Remdesivir. The target zones of these molecules in the human body cover a set of important organs and tissues. For example, Vernolide (C19H22O7) is able to reside firmly at bronchi, the upper respiratory tract, and blood vessels. From the news report, investigators learned also that Herbs used in Tanzania include lemon, ginger, neem tree leaves, mango tree leaves, orange tree leaves. These traditional medicines contain, more or less, antiviral molecules whose capacities range from good to outstanding levels. Those herbs have been used worldwide to fight COVID-19. In conclusion traditional medicines have been playing important roles not only in Africa but also in Asia, in South America, etc. Herbs prove themselves with effective efficacies in many therapeutic practices. So maybe after careful considerations, the World Health Organization may support the use of herbs for poor patients who cannot afford modern drugs and used traditional medicines after a positive COVID-19 test in the Democratic Republic of the Congo. Investigators are talking about a randomisation's nuance process to follow participants who decide by themselves if diagnosed positive to COVID-19 to begin to take herbs not waiting for a physician prescription.

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the efficacy and safety of brexanolone in participants on ventilator support for acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) due to COVID-19.

COVID 19 which started from a zoonotic transmission related to crowded markets was confirmed to have a high potential for transmission to close contacts on 20 January 2020 by the National Health Commission of China and it was announced as a pandemic by the WHO on 11 March 2020. There is currently no clinically proven specific antiviral agent available for SARS-CoV-2 infection. Supportive treatment, including oxygen therapy, conservation fluid management, and broad-spectrum antibiotics to cover secondary bacterial infection, remains the most important management strategy. Interestingly, sofosbuvir has recently been proposed as an antiviral for the SARS-CoV-2 based on the similarity between the replication mechanisms of the HCV and the coronaviruses. Aim of our study is to assess the safety and efficacy of of the addition of HCV treatment to the standard regimen for the treatment of patients according to MOHP protocol.

The Clinical trial aim to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of the administration of the intravenous prostaglandin E1 analog in the reduction of mortality and complications of patients with COVID-19 diagnosis. Therefore the investigators propose an open randomized clinical trial in the Fundación Santa Fe de Bogota
