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.

Facing the challenge of finding an efficient treatment for COVID-19, the viral pneumonia caused by the Coronavirus SARS-Cov-2, this study intended to test if Chloroquine or Hydroxychloroquine, two drugs with strong in-vitro antiviral role proven by numerous studies and with a well defined safety profile established, for efficacy in treating COVID-19 and improving an ordinal primary outcome composed by a 9-levels scale, which was recomended by the World Health Organization.

The purpose of the study is to determine if high dose Intravenous IVIG plus SMT can reduce the proportion of participants dying or requiring intensive care unit (ICU) admission on or before Day 29 or who are dependent on high flow oxygen devices or invasive mechanical ventilation on Day 29 versus SMT alone in hospitalized participants with COVID-19.

Maraviroc, a C-C Chemokine Receptor 5 (CCR5) antagonist, is well-tolerated without significant side effects in its current use in patients with HIV. CCR5 antagonism prior to the 'second wave' of inflammatory mediator expression in SARS-CoV-2 may reverse lymphoid depletion and may alter cell trafficking of inflammatory cells, both increasing viral control capacity and dampening damage to lung tissue, respectively. This study seeks to establish whether one week of treatment with Maraviroc, used at its approved dosage for HIV, is safe and tolerable in patients with SARS-CoV-2.

At the end of December of 2019, a series of patients in Wuhan, China were struck with a mysterious respiratory infection. These isolated events have rapidly grown into a deadly, global pandemic. This pandemic is caused by the Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), which results in the Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19). For individuals infected with COVID-19, approximately 30% of the hospitalized cases are associated with cardiovascular complications. Data are emerging that individuals with pre-exiting conditions (like hypertension, diabetes, cancer, or medical issues related to the immune system) are most susceptible to complications related to COVID-19. Furthermore, individuals of certain racial and ethnic backgrounds (e.g. African American and Hispanic) are at a higher risk of death from COVID-19. Despite these emerging observations, it remains unclear who will develop the cardiovascular complications (acute myocardial injury with evidence of a myocarditis-like picture and cardiogenic shock) and what the long term sequelae of this disease will be for survivors of this infection after hospitalization. Thus, the goals of this project are to better understand the epidemiology of cardiac injury in acutely ill COVID-19 patients through deep cardiac phenotyping and identify the molecular profile of individuals most susceptible to cardiac injury from COVID-19.

This is a randomized study to assess safety, pharmacokinetics, immunogenicity, and efficacy of BAT2020 in hospitalized patients infected with COVID-19. This study is composed of 2 Parts: a single ascending dose (Part 1) and single dose(s) tested in parallel with a double-blind, placebo-controlled design (Part 2). Patients also will receive best available standard of care (SOC) treatment. A data and safety monitoring board (DSMB) will be set up for the study.

This is an open label randomised controlled study of oral ivermectin (600 mcg/kg/d* 3 day) versus combined of hydroxychloroquine plus darunavir/ ritonavir for 5 days treatment among asymptomatic carrier of SAR-CoV2 adult Thai population. Both study treatment regimens will have oral zinc sulfate combination treatment ( 200mg. twice daily). Outcomes include safety and duration of detectable of SAR-CoV2 in nasopharyngeal/ throat (NP) swab by polymerase chain reaction amplification (PCR) after treatment. 40-50 patients in each treatment arm is planned, with an interim analysis when approximately 50% of cases is enrolled.

With potential antiviral effects on severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) and as a methyl-xanthine derived inhibitor of phosphodiesterase-4, pentoxifylline basically functions as a hemorrheologic agent for a better circulation and oxygenation and exerts unique effects on immune modulation, inflammation and oxidative stress. As the main regulator of cAMP metabolism, posphodiesterase-4 plays a key role in proinflammatory and immune cells. Pentoxifylline plays its anti-inflammatory role by reducing the production of proinflammatory cytokines such as TNF-a, IL-1 and IL-6. Given its unique impacts on immune modulation, homeostasis and fibrinolysis and its supportive effects on oxidative stress and organ failure, pentoxifylline can constitute a multipurpose and generally-safe adjuvant therapy for COVID-19 patients.

The HCW Prophylaxis (HCWP) Study, single, open and off label intervention study. Up to 350 participants will be assigned to group that takes HCQ or group that opts to not take study medication. Participants will be UNM HEALTH SYSTEM HCW at high risk for occupational exposure to SARSCoV- 2. Study timepoints will include Day 1 screening/enrollment, 30 day, 60 day, and 90 day assessments. Questionnaires will be collected in all timepoints.

The CONTAIN (CiclesOnide cliNical TriAl covId-19 treatmeNt) is a randomized control study of ciclesonide vs placebo for mild covid-19 disease. The need for potential therapy for COVID-19 patients is urgent. Ciclesonide has shown encouraging in vitro results, is easy to be used and is readily available. It has a low rate of side effects and few interactions with other drugs. It is unusual to use an inhaled steroid drug for COVID-19 but there has been new data suggesting steroids may have an antiviral effect in addition to an anti-inflammatory effect. Investigators propose to use inhaled and nasal ciclesonide to stop viral replication in the nose and airways. Investigators hope this will accelerate recovery from COVID-19 illness in individuals who are not admitted to hospital at time of diagnosis of COVID-19.
