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.

Study Objectives: Primary - To assess the efficacy (survival without organ failure on Day 14) of three doses of rhu-pGSN administered intravenously (IV) plus standard of care (SOC) to hospitalized subjects with a primary diagnosis of COVID-19 pneumonia and a severity score of 4, 5 or 6 on the World Health Organization (WHO) 9-point severity scale - To evaluate the safety and tolerability of three IV doses of rhu-pGSN administered to hospitalized subjects with a primary diagnosis of COVID-19 pneumonia and a severity score of 4, 5, or 6 on the WHO 9-point severity scale Secondary - To further assess the efficacy of IV administered rhu-pGSN - To assess changes in WHO 9-point severity score for SOC with or without rhu-pGSN - To evaluate the effect of administered rhu-pGSN on survival rates - To assess the relationship of pGSN levels (and other biomarkers) at baseline with clinical outcomes - [OPTIONAL] To follow the pharmacokinetics (PK) of administered rhu-pGSN Immunogenicity • To investigate the development of antibodies against rhu-pGSN post-treatment

The consensus therapeutic strategy implies that COVID patients with acute lung injury due to coronavirus are routinely placed in prone position in an attempt to improve oxygenation by increasing ventilation homogeneity. The purpose of the study is to quantify with the electrical impedance tomography (EIT) the changes in the ventilation and aeration in the dorsal regions of the lung when the patient is placed in prone position.

The purpose of this study is to find out if estrogen, a female sex hormone, given as a patch placed on skin of COVID19 positive or presumptive positive patients for 7 days can reduce the severity of COVID19 symptoms compared to regular care. This study has two study groups. One group will receive the study drug, a single-use Climara 25cm2 estrogen patch. The other group will receive standard of care. Participants will be asked questions about their symptoms for up 6 times in up to 45 days.

The aim of this study is to verify if patients admitted to hospital in a medical division and in the intensive care unit for a COVID-19 infection are at higher risk of developing a VTE complication and if they actually present an increased hypercoagulable state.

The performance of 3 different sampling methods (2 nasopharyngeal swabs, 1 oropharyngeal swab) for the detection of SARS-CoV-2 with real-time reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction will be compared.

Spectrum of skin lesions may arise during Covid-19 virus infection. It includes non-specific urticaria, aphtoids lesions, but also acrosyndromes, in particular suggestive of chilblains. Pathological findings showed thrombocytic lymphocytic vasculitis. Chilblains are sometimes associated with Raynaud's phenomenon or acrocyanosis. Dermatological features may present pathophysiological similarities with the inflammatory and respiratory vascular disturbances, which makes all the gravity of this disease, or even with other organs. Indeed, genetic conditions such as familial lupus chilblains, linked to a mutation of TREX1 gene, and SAVI (Sting associated vasculopathy with onset on infancy) have similar clinical presentations. In particular, SAVI associates both acral skin and lung damage, and auto-antibodies. They have recently been identified as type I interferonopathies. Hallmark is interferon signature, i.e. hyperexpression of type I interferon in the blood. The investigators hypothesize Covid-19 may lead to similar skin involvement as in type I interferonopathies. The interferon pathway is involved in anti-viral defense. Covid-19 could cause excessive activation of this pathway. In addition, hyperactivation of the type I interferon pathway leads to modulation of the adaptive immune response. Production of autoantibodies, in particular antiphospholipid antibodies, have thrombogenic properties. Searching for acquired hemostasis disorders and high level of interferon secondary Covid-19 virus infection, could explain this new and misunderstood skin disorder. Then, targeted therapies, both treating and preventing, could be considered.

Objectives: To determine whether blockade of IL-6R is beneficial in patients with COVID-19 infection of moderate severity. Research Design: Randomized, controlled trial. Two-arm trial comparing standard care alone to standard care with addition of sarilumab (anti-IL6R). The trial will use a randomized play-the-winner design, in which randomization becomes weighted toward the arm that was more effective in previous subjects in the trial. Methodology Hospitalized patients meeting clinical criteria for moderate disease and testing positive for coronavirus infection. Interventions: sarilumab, 400 mg subcutaneous injection. Standard care is not pre-specified, may vary among patients, and may include agents with anti-viral activity, such as remdesivir or hydroxychloroquine, among others. Up to 120 patients, primary outcome intubation or death within 14 days. All data will be extracted remotely from the electronic health record (EHR). Clinical Implications: The study has potential to establish IL-6R blockade, delivered subcutaneously, as standard of care in reducing progression to critical illness in patients with moderate COVID-19 disease.

In this study, investigators will determine whether the early addition of HT-CCP to standard treatment improves the clinical outcome (as assessed by the Modified WHO Ordinal Scale) of patients with COVID-19 who are hospitalized but not yet in moderate or severe ARDS.

This prospective, randomized, open-label, multi-center interventional study is designed to compare the safety and efficacy of two LMWH dosing protocols in patients admitted to the University of Iowa Hospitals with COVID-19 who meet the modified ISTH Overt DIC criteria score ≥3. Patients will be randomized to standard prophylactic dose LMWH (standard of care arm) or intermediate-dose LMWH (intervention arm).

It is a multicenter, national, randomized 1:1 ratio, controlled, parallel, open study. Patients with severe ARDS-CoVid19 will be included in the trial within the first 24 hours. Patients will be randomized to one of the treatment groups: - SEV group: 25 patients with Sevoflurane sedation by inhalation, starting at 6 ml/h and changing every 15 minutes until an adequate level of sedation is achieved (BIS 40-50) - PRO group: 25 patients standard sedation with intravenous propofol, starting with 2 mg/kg/h and changing every 15 minutes until an adequate level of sedation is achieved ( BIS 40-50)
