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.

Covid 19 pandemia is causing millions of deaths worldwide. To date, the evidence gathered suggests that the subgroup of patients who present the most serious clinical feature of COVID-19 could have a "cytokine storm syndrome" better defined as secondary hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis (sHLH), characterized by acute respiratory distress (ARDS) and septic shock, followed by multi-organ failure due to an excess of cytokines induced by the inflammatory response to the virus. The reduction of phagocytic hyperactivation represents a possible treatment for HLH. Lowering the availability of glucose, the only substrate of aerobic glycolysis and of the Warburg effect in activated macrophages, through the use of ketogenic diets could be a promising solution. Actually diet is not recognized as impacting on the evolution of COVID-19, however, scientific literature data show that a low carbohydrate and high lipid diet (ketogenic diet) can inhibit inflammation and lead to a clinical improvement of respiratory function. The hypothesis of this study is that the administration of a ketogenic diet could improve mortality, lower the access to ICU and the need of NIV. The plan is to enroll 50 patients with COVID 19 infection and administer a 1:4 ketogenic formula during hospitalization in order to verify these outcomes.
Franklin Health Research
The purpose of this study is to assess the potential for a non-invasive sensory based intervention to reduce the stress associated with a COVID-19 diagnosis.
The Methodist Hospital Research Institute
The purpose of this study is to investigate the effectiveness and safety of treatment with clazakizumab compared to a placebo (inactive substance). We are proposing to try this drug to treat coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) infection. Patients with COVID-19 infection have been shown to have increases in certain inflammatory processes. Clazakizumab is an antibody (immune system protein) that blocks certain inflammatory processes. The treatment plan is to attempt to inhibit or block these inflammatory processes in order to try to limit the damage COVID-19 causes to the lungs.
Istinye University
The aim of this study is to evaluate the knowledge level of healthcare professionals such as physicians, nurses, physiotherapists and nutritionist about published COVID-19 guidelines. The listed healthcare workers are take part in the primary treatment of the Corona virus infected patients in hospitals. Therefore the knowledge of the world wide spreading Corona Virus and its effects for the human being is should be known for the effective treatment and for raising public awareness.
Assiut University
The present study aimed to evaluate the accuracy of MSCT chest in the detection of COVID-19 cases and to correlate its diagnostic performance with that of the clinical presentation and CBC indices; using RT-PCR assays as a gold standard.
Hospital Authority, Hong Kong
As of 1 July 2020, more than 10 million people been confirmed to have infected by SARS-CoV-2, resulting in more than 500,000 deaths. No specific antiviral treatment for the SARS-CoV-2 is currently available, but existing medication could be repurposed. The investigators therefore propose to conduct an open-label randomized controlled trial on a short course of interferon β-1b and ribavirin combination treatment for patients hospitalized for COVID-19 infection.
Hong Kong Sanatorium & Hospital
Achieved serum samples of persons with or without evidence of COVID-19 infection are tested using the different commercial SARS-CoV-2 antibody immunoassays. The performance of the immunoassays is then assessed by comparing the 2 groups of samples.

Low dose whole lung radiotherapy may improve survival of older patients with COVID-19 pneumonitis
Hôpital Necker-Enfants Malades
The paediatric population present mild or asymptomatic form of SARS-CoV-2 infection. This study asses the frequency of patients with SARS-CoV2 Antibodies (Ab) (seroprevalence) and the neutralizing typology of those Ab (immunoprotection) in children from 7 days to 18 years of age hospitalized for no more than 4 days and whose clinical status requires blood sample regardless of the symptoms Patients are included on a given day, after information, before blood sampling performed as part of the care. 500 µL of sera, normally discarded will be kept to perform SARS-Cov2 serology.
Kiniksa Pharmaceuticals, Ltd.
The purpose of this prospective, Phase 2, multicenter, blinded, randomized placebo controlled study is to demonstrate that early treatment with mavrilimumab prevents progression of respiratory failure in patients with severe COVID-19 pneumonia and clinical and biological features of hyper-inflammation.
