SALT LAKE CITY â New COVID-19 clinical trials taking place in Utah are investigating if antibody therapy can help people recover from COVID-19.
The University of Utah, in partnership with Johns Hopkins Medicine, is conducting the research study with symptomatic people who tested positive for COVID-19 within six days.
The experimental therapy takes antibodies from someone who recovered from COVID-19 and transfuses the convalescent plasma to the patients who just got sick.
