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 overall objective of this project is to develop an emergent treatment protocol using adoptive T-cell therapy for the treatment of severe COVID-19. The central hypothesis is that SARS-CoV-2 specific T cells from convalescent donors who have recovered from COVID-19 can be manufactured expeditiously for the treatment of severe SARS-CoV-2 infections.

The study investigators hypothesize that the pneumonia arising in patients with COVID-19 is largely of immunopathological origin. The investigators will therefore seek to define the immune activation phenotype of patients in respiratory distress and to see if this immune signature is predictive of mortality. Finally, the investigators will look for overproduced inflammatory mediators to identify potential therapeutic targets.

Efficacy of Ivermectin in larger doses in COVID-19 treatment
Duke University
The study investigators are interested in learning more about how drugs, that are given to children by their health care provider, act in the bodies of children and young adults in hopes to find the most safe and effective dose for children. The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the PK of understudied drugs currently being administered to children per SOC as prescribed by their treating provider.

The objective of the study is to estimate the frequency of cardiac arrhythmias and characterize the mode of death in patients with coronavirus disease (SARS-CoV-2; COVID-19). The study will also evaluate the long term cardiac outcomes in patients previously diagnosed with COVID-19. This is a single-center, retrospective/ prospective registry enrolling all COVID-19 positive patients at Mount Sinai Hospital. Cohort 1: Retrospective chart review: 1. Patients who have been diagnosed with COVID-19 infection at Mount Sinai Hospital will be included. 2. A cohort of 1000 influenza patients will also be evaluated for purpose of comparison. Cohort 2: Prospective data collection of 100 patients who: 1. Were hospitalized for COVID-19 and who had an abnormal echocardiogram during hospitalization. 2. A matched cohort (for age, gender, troponin level, and days since hospital discharge) who did not have abnormalities on their echocardiograms (or who did not undergo echocardiogram) to ascertain that in this unusual disease, subjects did not develop echo abnormalities following hospital discharge.
Hellenic Institute for the Study of Sepsis
In the SAVE study patients with lower respiratory tract infection with severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) at high risk for progression to serious respiratory failure will be detected using the suPAR biomarker. They will begin early treatment with anakinra in the effort to prevent progression in serious respiratory failure.
Centre Hospitalier Universitaire de Nice
Study of the cellular immune response during the SARS-CoV-2 infection and identify cytokinic profiles in caregivers exposed to the virus with asymptomatic forms of COVID19, patients with an asymptomatic form followed in ambulatory care and patients hospitalized in the infectious disease department or in resuscitation at the CHU de Nice COVID-19 according to their clinical symptomatology and the kinetics of clinical aggravation using functional tests evaluating the Th1 type immune response. The project is divided into a clinical component comprising the study of the immune response in different populations and a cellular component focusing on the in vitro study of different immunomodulating treatments on their ability to induce an anti-viral Th1
Butantan Institute
This is an observational study, meaning that no interventions is tested, to determine incidence of SARS-CoV-2 infection and COVID-19 in different clinical sites in Brazil in several age groups. The study aims to assess baseline number of infected participants and perform a follow-up along two years to determine the new cases occurring among participants during the period. All participants will collect blood samples to get more details on the immune response.

Interferon lambda is one of the main arms of the innate antiviral immune response and is critical for controlling respiratory viral infections in mice. Interferon lambda has a better side effect profile than other interferons because of the limited tissue distribution of its receptor. Peginterferon lambda is a long-acting form that has been studied extensively in human trials in viral hepatitis, confirming its safety. We propose to evaluate peginterferon-lambda in ambulatory and hospitalized patients with mild to moderate COVID-19.
Kirby Institute
CORIA is an observational cohort study of immunosuppressed populations who test positive for COVID-19. This includes people living with HIV, cancer, acquired immunodeficiency associated with other immunosuppressive therapy, primary immunodeficiency and recipients of a solid organ transplant. Participants will have routine clinical data collected with optional baseline collection and storage of a blood sample for storage . The study will be conducted in up to 30 sites within Australia.
