Claremont is taking part in a national Covid-19 Treatment Research Project

 

Aim of the study?

The trial will use some well known medications and see how effective they are at reducing the severity, duration and impact of symptoms.

The trial is open to anyone aged 50 to 64 who has been experiencing COVID-19 symptoms for less than 15 days and have at least one of the following conditions:

  • A known weakened immune system because of a serious illness or medication (e.g. chemotherapy);
  • Known heart disease or high blood pressure;
  • Known asthma or lung disease;
  • Known diabetes not treated with insulin;
  • Known mild hepatic impairment (liver disease);

OR.....

Anyone aged over 65 years who has been experiencing COVID-19 symptoms for less than 15 days.

 

But, what does the trial entail?

Everyone on the trial will be tested for COVID-19.

In addition, you will then either receive:

1) the trial treatment we are testing
or.....
2) current usual best care and advice but without the medication we are testing.

Participants will also be asked to answer some questions each day online for up to 28 days telling us about any symptoms you might be experiencing and how well you are feeling.
