Researchers from the University of Oxford (an EIT Health core partner), have launched a new clinical trial to test the effects of potential drug treatments for patients admitted to hospital with COVID-19. The first patients have now been recruited.
The University of Oxford is testing whether existing medicine can be used to fight the virus. Patients who have tested positive for COVID-19 and join the trial, will randomly be assigned one of two medicine, or no medicine, while also receiving standard full medical care.
