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 aims to compare the efficacy and safety of Methylprednisolone versus Tocilizumab in improving clinical outcomes and reducing the need for ventilator support in COVID-19 patients with moderate COVID-19 disease at risk for complications of cytokine storm. Approximately 310 participants hospitalized with COVID-19 in UMMC, Hospital Sungai Buloh, Hospital Kuala Lumpur and Hospital Tuanku Jaafar will be enrolled into this study. Eligible participants will be selected based on a set of clinical, laboratory and radiological parameters indicative of early stages of CRS and lung function decline prior to being randomized at a ratio of 1:1 to receive either Tocilizumab or Methylprednisolone. Participants will be monitored daily for clinical and laboratory parameters, and at 48 hours, switched to the alternate study arm should they manifest signs and symptoms indicative of decompensation.

The aim of the project is to better understand the Covid-19 inpatient course of the disease and to quickly identify the positive experiences in the treatment in order to update guidelines for the treatment and use of medication.

Covid-19 is a recently emerging infectious disease with a very large impact on health care world-wide. The disease is still poorly described. It is an urgent need for better clinical characteristics. A prospective, quality register is therefore established for increasing the knowledge about the disease, the covid patients and the prognosis.
NYU Langone Health
For this study, 48 patients who have been diagnosed with COVID-19 will be randomly assigned to four study groups: control, saline, chlorhexidine gluconate, and povidone-iodine. Each patient will be asked to gargle with a solution of either saline, chlorhexidine gluconate, or povidone-iodine or nothing (control group) as well as spray the same solution in their nose four times daily. Patients will then be tested for COVID-19 once daily in the evening for 7 days and viral loads will be measured.

The main manifestation of COVID-19 is acute hypoxemic respiratory failure (AHRF). In patients with AHRF, the need for invasive mechanical ventilation is associated with high mortality. Two hypotheses will be tested in this study. The first hypothesis is the benefit of corticosteroid therapy on severe COVID-19 infection admitted in ICU in terms of survival. The second hypothesis is that, in the subset of patients free of mechanical ventilation at admission, either Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (CPAP) or High-Flow Nasal Oxygen (HFNO) allows to reduce intubation rate safely during COVID-19 related acute hypoxemic respiratory failure.

Many critical ethical questions arise in pandemic covid 19planning, preparedness and response. These include: Who will get priority access to medications, vaccines and intensive care unit beds, given the potential shortage of these essential resources? In the face of a pandemic, what obligations do health-care workers have to work not withstanding risks to their own health and the health of their families? How can surveillance, isolation, quarantine and social-distancing measures be undertaken in a way that respects ethical norms? What obligations do countries have to one another with respect to pandemic covid 19 planning and response efforts?

Some patients infected by covid-19 develop skin manifestations. These manifestations are still not well known and there pathophysiology remain unclear. Among them, acral manifestation resembling to chilblains appears frequent and quite specific. The aim of this project is to better characterize the cutaneous manifestations occurring during Covid-19 infection with a special focus on chilblains. These acral manifestation could be due to a direct viral effect, but also to microthrombosis or vascularitis. Understanding the pathomechanisms involved could provide interesting clue for understanding not only the skin manifestations but also some of the other systemic symptoms associated to covid-19 infection. This study plan to characterize these acral manifestations by analyzing the clinical and dermoscopic patterns and to correlate them with the non-invasive vascular explorations but also immune and coagulopathy explorations that are done in the CHU of Nice in covid-19 patients.
