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.

Coagulopathy of COVID-19 afflicts approximately 20% of patients with severe COVID-19 and is associated with need for critical care and death. COVID-19 coagulopathy is characterized by elevated D-dimer, an indicator of fibrin formation and clot lysis, and a mildly prolonged prothrombin time, suggestive of coagulation consumption. To date, it seems that COVID-19 coagulopathy manifests with thromboembolism, thus anticoagulation may be of benefit. We propose to conduct a parallel pragmatic multi-centre open-label randomized controlled trial to determine the effect of therapeutic anticoagulation compared to standard care in hospitalized patients admitted for COVID-19 with an elevated D-dimer.

For limiting COVID-19 spreading, the World Health Organisation (WHO) recommended worldwide confinement on 2010. In France, unessential institutions were closed on March 14th and population confinement was decided on March 17th. Quarantine and/or confinement could lead to psychological effects such as confusion, suicide ideation, post-traumatic stress symptoms or anger COVID-19 outbreak highlighted a considerable proportion of health care workers (HCW) with depression, insomnia, anxiety and distress symptoms. In front line, facing the virus with the fear of contracting it and contaminate their closest. During previous outbreaks (H1N1, SARS), HCWs have been shown to experience such negative psychological effects of confinement as well as work avoidance behaviour and physical interaction reduction with infected patients (4-7). In France, Covid 19 outbeak led to increase ICU bed capacity with a full reorganization of the human resources. Some caregivers were reassigned to newly setup units admitting or not Covid-19 patients. In the same time, non-caregivers were also encouraged to work at home whenever possible. Thus, every hospital staff member's private and professional life could be altered by the Covid-19 outbreak. As all these changes in the daily life could induce psychological disturbances, the present study was aimed at assessing the acute anxiety level (main objective) of the staff in our Tertiary University Hospital, (6300 employees). Secondarily, the self-reported insomnia, pain, catastrophism and work avoidance behaviour levels were assessed

Clinical Trial of Mycobacterium w in COVID-19 Positive Patients, Hospitalized But Not Critically Ill
This is a randomized, double blind, two arms, placebo controlled, clinical trial to study to evaluate the the safety and efficacy of Mycobacterium w in combination with standard of care versus placebo with standard of care for preventing the progression of COVID-19 disease and for reduction in transfer to ICU in COVID-19 infected patients admitted to the hospital.
Hospital Universitario Getafe
Double-blind randomized controlled clinical trial (RCT) of low-dose lenalidomide in the treatment of elderly patients (> 60 years of age) with mild to moderate clinical signs of COVID-19 disease from the Hospital Universitario of Getafe. The study will include patients of both sexes (> 60 years of age) with mild to moderate clinical presentation of COVID-19 (ROX index > 10). Subjects will be randomly assigned to the experimental arm with lenalidomide (5 mg/24h, day 1, 3 and 5) or to the controlled arm. Other concomitant medication for the treatment of COVID-19 will be also considered.
Vanderbilt University Medical Center
This study aims to determine if provider-recommended guidance on supine (on back) vs. prone (on stomach) positioning of patients testing positive for COVID-19 requiring supplemental oxygen, but not yet mechanically ventilated, improves outcomes in the inpatient setting. This study will be performed as a pragmatic clinical trial.
University of Chicago
This study aims to examine the tolerability of high dose of leflunomide in patients with COVID-19 who are being managed in the outpatient setting.

This is a randomized, open label, adaptive platform trial to compare the effectiveness of antithrombotic and additional strategies for prevention of adverse outcomes in COVID-19 positive inpatients

There is an urgent need to understand the outcomes of COVID-19 infected patients regarding the thromboembolic venous disease. Capturing real-world data and sharing Spanish national experience will inform the management of this complex group of patients, improving their clinical care. Interventions are needed to reduce both the incidence and severity of COVID-19. Although it shares characteristics with other similar viruses that also arose in outbreaks, the physiological mechanisms of the virus and its responses on the host are not yet fully known. There are indications that the clinical picture of this disease is in a procoagulant state, with possible increase in episodes of thromboembolic disease. This study aims to analyze the influence of COVID-19 on the incidence of deep vein thrombosis (DVT) in lower and upper limbs, and the variation in the clinical presentation of COVID-19, as well as to provide new evidence applicable to the clinical management of these patients and the establishment of prognostic factors that help early take therapeutic decisions. To this end, an observational, multicenter, national cohorts study will be carried out, sponsored by the Spanish Society of Angiology and Vascular Surgery (SEACV) and the Spanish Chapter of Phlebology and Linfology through its Vascular Research Network (RIV), which will collect demographic variables, comorability, concomitant treatment, analytical status and complementary and ultrasound diagnostic tests, parameters of clinical evolution, therapeutic and complications and mortality to 30 days. All national centers you wish to participate through a secure server that will be accessed through the SEACV and CEFyL website. The global community has recognised that rapid dissemination and completion of studies in COVID-19 infected patients is a high priority, so we encourage all stakeholders (local investigators, ethics committees, IRBs) to work as quickly as possible to approve this project. This investigator-led, non-commercial, non-interventional study is extremely low risk, or even zero risk. This study does not collect any patient identifiable information (including no dates) and data will not be analysed at hospital-level.
