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.

A phase II clinical trial will be carried out with the objective of studying the impactof the administration of Tocilizumab on the evolution of the acute respiratory distresssyndrome (ARDS) in patients with severe or critical SARS-CoV-2 infection. Due to the highmortality of severe forms of SARS-CoV-2 and for ethical reasons, a control arm will notbe included. Patients will be recruited by signing an informed consent and the baselinevariables of interest will be recorded. Tocilizumab will be administered in one or twodoses, depending on the case, and will be followed up for 30 days. The response totreatment, survival and evolution will be studied. Factors associated with improvement ofARDS and survival will be identified through multivariate analyzes. The results will becompared with those reported internationally.

Emergent experimental and anecdotal evidence has indicated that critically ill COVID-19patients demonstrate two patient sub-types (called phenotypes). In one group the diseaseprogresses slowly and patients have a low potential of developing mild respiratoryfailure, but in the other group, an exaggerated immune response(hyper-inflammation/cytokine storm) may be linked to the onset of precipitous respiratoryfailure, termed acute respiratory distress syndrome. This syndrome is responsible for alarge portion of COVID-19 associated mortality. Thus, determining links betweenhyper-inflammation and acute respiratory distress syndrome in COVID-19 patients is ofimmediate importance. Blood samples will undergo a number of analyses to help us tounderstand as much as possible about COVID-19. We will also study any differences inphysiologic and cytokine levels before and after patients are treated withimmunomodulatory therapies as part of clinical care in COVID-19 patients.

This is a prospective observational registry of COVID-19 recovered patients who are nolonger symptomatic. This Registry is intended to serve as a pool of individuals that canparticipate in studies associated with serological testing, characterization of immunityand immune response, vaccine development, and convalescent plasma donors.

This study seeks to determine whether the virus which causes COVID-19, SARS-CoV-2, isshed in the stools of patients who are infected.

The investigators hypothesize that those with respiratory failure due to COVID-19 willhave different burdens of mental and physical disability than those with respiratoryfailure who do not have COVID-19. Detecting these potential differences will lay animportant foundation for treating long term sequelae of respiratory failure in these twocohorts.

Patients presenting with the coronavirus-2019 disease (COVID-19) have a very high risk ofcardiovascular adverse events, including death from cardiovascular causes. Unfortunately,there are no reliable statistics on the frequency and severity of these complicationsduring the index hospitalization. Moreover, the long-term cardiovascular outcomes ofthese patients are entirely unknown. The investigators aim to perform a registry ofpatients who have undergone a diagnostic nasopharyngeal swab for SARS-CoV-2 and determinetheir long-term cardiovascular outcomes.

LIINC is a study of volunteers who were previously infected with SARS-CoV-2 (also knownas novel coronavirus or COVID-19) who have recovered from acute infection. The study isdesigned to provide a specimen bank of samples with carefully characterized clinicaldata. LIINC specimens will be used to examine multiple questions involving the virologic,immunologic, and host factors involved in COVID-19, with a focus on understandingvariability in the long-term immune response between individuals.

This study is being conducted to study the use and application of a point-of-care (POC)Covid-19 test developed by Spartan BioSciences and recently approved for clinical use byHealth Canada. Phase I of this study will determine the best route for the swabs (nasal,throat, or both), and to determine if this POC test results are comparable to thestandard core-lab test results.

RACONA is a prospective trial that will test the hypothesis that nafamostat can lowerlung function deterioration and need for intensive care admission in COVID-19 patients.Design: Adult hospitalized COVID-19 patients will be randomized in a prospectivedouble-blind randomized placebo-controlled study to test the clinical efficacy ofnafamostat mesylate (administered intravenously) on top of best standard of care.Primary outcome measures: the time-to-clinical improvement, defined as the time fromrandomization to an improvement of two points (from the status at randomization) on aseven category ordinal scale or live discharge from the hospital, whichever comes first.

Acute kidney injury (AKI) has been identified as an independent risk factor forin-hospital mortality. The present study aims to investigate the incidence of AKI andrenal recovery of inpatients diagnosed with COVID-19.
