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 main purpose of this study is to evaluate the activity, safety and reduction in mortality of two regimens of low dose selinexor (KPT-330) in patients with moderate or severe COVID-19.
Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation
This is a randomized trial for the treatment of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection in high-risk adults not requiring hospital admission.The overarching goal of this study is to assess the effectiveness of interventions on the incidence of lower respiratory tract infection (LRTI) progression among high-risk adult outpatients with SARS-CoV-2 infection to inform public health control strategies.
Sir Mortimer B. Davis - Jewish General Hospital
COVID-19 was declared a pandemic on March 11th. Efforts to save lives are essential as we will face increasing morbidity with rising demands on health care resources. Since pregnant women with COVID-19 have systematically been excluded from drug trials, potential treatment options for these high-risk individuals remain untested. The aim of our trial is to determine whether hydroxychloroquine given to COVID-19 positive pregnant women can reduce COVID-19-related hospital admissions, thereby allowing women to stay at home while limiting utilization of hospital resources and resulting exposure of health care providers.
King Hussein Cancer Center
The main objective of this study is to assess the efficacy of the combination hydroxychloroquine and Azithromycin (HCQ and AZ) in reducing the infection risk among health care professionals in direct contact with COVID-19 patients.
Ansun Biopharma, Inc.
It is a multicenter, randomized, placebo-controlled, double-blind study. The study population is defined as subjects diagnosed with lower respiratory tract COVID-19 who require supplemental oxygen ≥2 LPM at the time of randomization.

The investigators hypothesize that JAK 1/2 inhibition with ruxolitinib, an FDA approved treatment for intermediate or high-risk myelofibrosis, could have a similar effect in patients with severe COVID-19, quelling the immune-hyperactivation, allowing for clearance of the virus and reversal of the disease manifestations.

This study plans to learn more about the effects of Dornase Alfa in COVID19 (coronavirus disease of 2019) patients, the medical condition caused by the Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). Dornase Alfa is a FDA-approved drug for the treatment of cystic fibrosis, which facilitates mucus clearance by cutting apart neutrophil-derived extracellular double-stranded DNA. This study intends to define the impact of aerosolized intra-tracheal Dornase Alfa administration on the severity and progression of acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) in COVID-19 patients. This drug might make lung mucus thinner and looser, promoting improved clearance of secretions and reduce extracellular double-stranded DNA-induced hyperinflammation in alveoli, preventing further damage to the lungs. The study will recruit mechanically ventilated patients hospitalized in ICU who have been diagnosed with COVID-19 and meet ARDS criteria. It is a prospective, randomized, controlled, multicentric, open-label clinical trial. The goal is to recruit 100 patients.

The proposed hypothesis is that high doses of hydroxychloroquine (HCQ) for at least 2 weeks can be effective antiviral medication both as a treatment in ambulatory patients and prophylaxis/treatment in health care workers because it impairs lysosomal function and reorganizes lipid raft (cholesterol and sphingolipid rich microdomains in the plasma membrane) content in cells, which are both critical determinants of Emerging Viral Disease (EVD) infection. This hypothesis is based on a growing literature linking chloroquine to antiviral activity. It is estimated that enough information exists to launch a clinical trial of hydroxychloroquine for COVID-19.

To test if the medication Hydroxychloroquine will decrease the amount of virus(as measured by PCR) , 7 days after initiation of therapy compared to control patients receiving placebo. The study design is a randomized (5 days of medication v. 5 days of placebo) clinical trial initiated immediately after diagnosis in ambulatory health care workers at University of South Alabama Health, or in ambulatory USA patients. At 7 days after enrollment another nasopharyngeal swab will be taken to measure if the virus is still present. At 10 weeks we will measure immunity from Covid-19 using a single blood sample. It is a phase 2/3 clinical trial.
Johns Hopkins University
This study will assess the feasibility of administering multiple doses of convalescent plasma (from people who have recovered form SARS-CoV-2) to Covid-19 positive patients in the Intensive Care Unit receiving mechanical ventilation. Donor plasma will not be obtained under this protocol, but all plasma used will follow FDA guidelines for Investigational COVID-19 Convalescent Plasma use. Patients may receive single or double plasma units infused on days 0, 3, and 6. This decision may be based on availability of blood plasma. The primary objective of this study is feasibility. Feasibility will be assessed based on the proportion of subjects who consent and receive at least one dose of convalescent plasma. The study will be declared 'feasible' if at least 80% of subjects who consent receive at least one dose. The secondary study endpoint is overall survival at day 60 after first dose of convalescent plasma. Respiratory status and overall clinical status will be reviewed during follow up on days 14, 28, and 60.
