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 purpose of this research study is to find out if CCP is safe and to determine the safest and most effective level of anti-viral antibody when given to people admitted to the hospital with confirmed COVID-19 infection. Participants enrolled on this study will be transfused with 2 units of CCP through an IV. These units will be given one at a time 4 to 24 hours apart. Participants will be randomized to receive either 2 units with standard antibody levels as recommended by the FDA or 2 units with an antibody level higher than that recommended by the FDA. This study is experimental and CCP is investigational and has not been approved by the FDA for the treatment of COVID-19. The CCP is collected per FDA guidelines from persons recovered from COVID-19 infection. The plasma contains antibodies and possibly other properties that inhibit the virus. The investigators do not know if the level of antibodies present in the CCP will make a difference in how the participant's body is able to fight the infection and hope to learn that in this study.

On 31 December 2019, the World Health Organization (WHO) was formally notified about a cluster of cases of pneumonia in Wuhan City, China. On 7 January the responsible virus was isolated and its genome sequence was shared on 12 January. It was named as COVID-19, a novel Coronavirus, SARS-CoV-2. It is a member of the Corona virus family which is RNA enveloped viruses. Very rapidly the virus emerged as pandemic. Now it is dominating the lives of every people of this universe. Management of the COVID-19 relies on mainly supportive care and oxygen supplementation via non-invasive or mechanical ventilation in critical cases. Patients who are critically ill may also require vasopressor support and antibiotics for secondary bacterial infections. There is no vaccine or highly effective antiviral drugs for COVID-19. Currently there is a tremendous effort around the world to develop effective preventive and therapeutic treatment for this disease. World Health Organization has launched a non-blinded clinical trial (SOLIDARITY) to evaluate four candidate treatments (remdesivir, lopinavir/ritonavir, lopinavir/ritonavir/ interferon beta-1a, and chloroquine or hydroxychloroquine) versus standard of care in 18 countries worldwide. RECOVERY trial one of the largest trials to see the efficacy and safety of hydroxychloroquine revealed that they are no clear cut clinical benefit for COVID-19. Other drugs in the SOLIDARTY trial are quite expansive for resource limited countries like Bangladesh. Study Published in the American Journal of Tropical Medicine advocates further research into Ivermectin for COVID-19 Treatment. The spotlight on Ivermectin was brought by Australian researchers from Monash University who demonstrated its efficacy against the SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus in vitro studies. In different study Doxycycline also showed promising results in treatment of COVID 19 infection. It is highly lipophilic antibiotics that are known to chelate zinc component of matrix metalloprotienases (MMP). Corona viruses are known to rely heavily of MMPs for survival, cell infiltration and replication. It also has an anti-inflammatory effect which might be effective in combating cytokine storm of Covid-19 infection. So it have been planned to conduct an experimental clinical trial using combination of ivermectin and doxycycline for treatment of COVID 19 along with the other standard care.

This study will evaluate the efficacy of oral Foipan® (camostat mesilate) compared with the current standard of care in reducing the duration of viral shedding of SARS-CoV-2 virus in patients with mild-moderate COVID-19 disease. Patients will attend 4 study visits over a period of up to 28 days.

Cardiac dysfunction has been reported to be common in patients infected with COVID-19. The aim of this study is to evaluate the clinical importance of cardiac dysfunction in critically ill patients infected with COVID-19.

Over 3 million teenagers in the USA have depression, and rates of depression and suicide are sharply increasing. Teenage depression has far-reaching consequences including impairments in academic and work performance and social and family relationships, substance abuse, and worsening of other health conditions, which can persist into adulthood. Access to mental health care for teenagers is limited due to a shortage of mental health providers and many teenagers and parents are reluctant to take antidepressants. COVID-19 and mandated physical and social distancing is expected to increase rates of teenage depression, and further limit access to traditional methods of care (e.g. psychotherapy). This highlights an urgent need to develop accessible, digital treatments for teenage depression to address the serious mental health impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic. This fully virtual study (https://www.limbix.com/spark) will compare the relative safety, effectiveness, and engagement of a mobile application based on cognitive behavioral therapy and behavioral activation (Limbix Spark), focusing on the idea that engaging in behaviors that are rewarding or provide a sense of mastery can be effective in reducing symptoms of depression. Limbix Spark will be compared to a mobile app containing educational material about depression (Psychoeducation).

COVID-19 is a worldwide pandemic. Around 5% of infected patients are admitted in ICU, mainly for respiratory failure. Outcome of these patients is linked to other organ failures. Optimal therapies are not defined so far. The sponsor want to assess the role of MR-ProADM as prognostic biomarker, and the impact of treatments (including supportive treatments) on MOF occurrence and outcome.

France and especially the region "Grand Est" have been severely impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic. The first affected patients gradually began leaving the hospitalization sector and some of them required rehabilitation before returning home. Because it has only been studied for few months, COVID 19 possible impairment remain unknown, especially in patients who required admission in ICU and needed rehabilitation. In order to better understand the impact of the disease, the investigators wish to carry out a descriptive analysis of hospitalized patient in rehabilitation center for Post-Covid-19 rehabilitation after ICU. The purpose of this study was to describe the impairments and functional independency in patients addressed to a rehabilitation center after an ICU stay for COVID 19 and to explore the factors associated with their evolution.
