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 determine if a drug called fluvoxamine can be used early in the course of the COVID-19 infection to prevent more serious complications like shortness of breath. Fluvoxamine is an anti-depressant drug approved by the FDA for the treatment of obsessive-compulsive disorder. The use of fluvoxamine for the treatment of COVID-19 is considered investigational, which means the US Food and Drug Administration has not approved it for this use. This study is fully-remote, which means that there is no face-to-face contact; study materials including study drug will be shipped to participants' houses. Only residents of Missouri and Illinois may participate.

This is a double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled, phase IIb clinical trial to assess the efficacy of injectable methylprednisolone sodium succinate (MP) in patients with severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) in COVID-19 infection. A total of 416 individuals of both sexes, aged over 18 years old, with symptoms suggestive or confirmed diagnosis of severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS), hospitalized at the Hospital and Pronto-Socorro Delphina Rinaldi Abdel Aziz (HPSDRAA), with clinical and radiological findings suggestive of SARS-CoV2 infection, will be randomized at a 1:1 ration to receive either MP (0.5mg/kg of weight, twice daily, for 5 days) or placebo (saline solution, twice daily, for 5 days).

Multicenter observational/registry study of the clinical features and outcomes of critically ill patients with COVID-19.

This is a Phase 2, two-arm, randomized, double blind, placebo controlled multicenter study to evaluate the safety and efficacy of leronlimab (PRO 140) in patients with mild-to-moderate symptoms of respiratory illness caused by coronavirus 2019 infection.

This is a double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled clinical trial. A total of 210 individuals aged over 18 years old, without a diagnosis of severe respiratory disease, who came to the study site with clinical and radiological suspicion of SARS-CoV2, will be randomized into two treatment groups at a 1:1 ratio to receive a 5-day CQ diphosphate tablets or placebo (tablet without active ingredient produced with the same physical characteristics).

Background: The human disease caused by SARS-CoV-2 is called COVID-19. In most cases, COVID-19 is a mild to moderate respiratory illness. But it can also be more severe and even lead to death. There is no vaccine to prevent SARS-CoV-2 infection. There is also no therapy to treat COVID-19. Researchers want to collect plasma from adults who have recovered from COVID-19, which may help them develop treatments. Objective: To collect anti-SARS-CoV-2 immune plasma from adult volunteers who have recovered from COVID-19. Eligibility: Males and females ages 18 to 70 who have a history of COVID-19 like illness or positive test for SARS-CoV-2, and have a minimum level of SARS-CoV-2 antibodies as specified by the study. Design: This study consists of 2 parts: 1) screening for SARS-CoV-2 antibody titer and eligibility to donate plasma and 2) plasma collection by apheresis. Study sites may participate in 1 part alone (either screening or plasma collection only) or both parts (screening and plasma collection). For screening part: Participants will be screened for their eligibility to join this research study with a medical history and physical exam. Their vital signs (blood pressure, heart rate, temperature, respiration rate) will be taken. Their weight and height will be recorded. They will give a blood sample for clinical laboratory tests of their general health and a research test for SARS-CoV-2 antibodies. They will discuss their history of COVID-19-like illness and any testing for SARS-CoV-2. They will be evaluated for their ability to donate plasma. For plasma collection part: Subjects meeting criteria for plasma donation and found to have high neutralizing antibody titers and who plan to donate plasma under this part of the study will be scheduled for 1 (and up to 20) plasma collection sessions. These will occur no less than 7 days apart. Prior to each donation, participants will have a brief physical exam and complete a donor history questionnaire. They will be asked about any current SARS-CoV-2 infection symptoms. At each donation, plasma will be taken through a standard apheresis procedure. For this, blood will be withdrawn through a needle placed in the participant's arm vein. A machine will separate the plasma from the red cells. The red cells will be returned to the participant, either through the same needle or through a second needle in the other arm. Participation may last up to 240 days.

This is a phase 2b prospective, randomized, single-blind, controlled trial of a single subcutaneous injection of peginterferon lambda-1a versus placebo for prevention of SARS-CoV-2 infection in non-hospitalized participants at high risk for infection due to household exposure to an individual with coronavirus disease (COVID-19). The study will also evaluate the regimens participants with asymptomatic SARS-CoV-2 infection detected at study entry. All participants will be followed for up to 12 weeks.

This is an open label clinical study to evaluate the activity of chloroquine phosphate in patients with SARS-CoV-2 virus infection. The study aims to document possible prevention of pneumonia in patients staying at home and in improving the symptoms of SARS-CoV-2 pneumonia in patients who will be hospitalised.
