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.

The primary purpose of this study is to investigate the safety and tolerability of BGB-DXP593 administered intravenously as a single dose in healthy participants
60 Degrees Pharmaceuticals LLC
A clinical study to assess the efficacy and safety of oral tafenoquine compared to placebo in patients with mild to moderate COVID 19 disease.
Medicines for Malaria Venture
This exploratory study is a randomized, single center, open label study of four different experimental treatment arms versus standard of care for the treatment of SARS-CoV-2 infection in symptomatic outpatients with mild disease at the time of enrollment.

The use of growth hormone in obese cases with COVID-19 may help them to recover earlier.
Pharming Technologies B.V.
The primary purpose of this study is to evaluate if adding rhC1-INH to standard of care (SOC) in patients admitted for stage II COVID-19 infection may reduce the risk of disease progression, i.e. ALI requiring mechanical ventilation, or increase the chance of a faster clinical improvement compared to SOC alone.
Jazz Pharmaceuticals
This clinical trial will enroll participants that have pneumonia caused by the COVID-19 virus. During the study patients will receive 7 to up to 14 days of defibrotide. After completing the treatment, participants will have 30 day follow-up check-up to assess for adverse events and clinical status. This final assessment can be done virtually, by telephone or electronically (email) if the patient cannot be contacted by phone. No in-person visit is required. The hypothesis of this trial is that defibrotide therapy given to patients with severe SARS-CoV2 ARDS will be safe and associated with improved overall survival, within 28 days of therapy initiation.
Reena Mehra, MD
This study is a randomized, double-blind, controlled clinical trial to evaluate the effects of toremifene and/or melatonin in adults with mild COVID-19.

Covid 19, a novel coronavirus, causes infection that, while mild to moderate in many people, can lead to severe disease in a significant portion. Currently, it is expected that the majority, 81%, of patients with COVID-19 will have mild to moderate disease, with 14% having more severe disease (2). There exists a number of candidate drugs that may inhibit SARS-CoV-2 infection or progression of disease. Simple, safe and low-cost strategies that may be the best solution to inhibit infection and limit transmission and spread of infection. Ivermectin is a drug initially synthesized and used as an anthelmintic. It has been found to have activity against several RNA viruses such as the SARS-CoV-2 by mechanisms that inhibit importin α/β-mediated nuclear transport that may prevent viral proteins from entering the nucleus to alter host cell function. A recent in vitro study showed that a single dose of ivermectin could kill COVID-19 in vitro within 48 hours. A recent multi-continent retrospective study of 1,400 patients demonstrated an association of ivermectin use with lower in-hospital mortality 1.4% versus 8.5%. Given these findings and its safety profile, cost and ease of administration, Ivermectin warrants study as a potential treatment to prevent progression of COVID 19 infection.
Sadat City University
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.
