People who get COVID-19 are being asked to take part in a new clinical trial.
CardiAI Inc, a Calgary-based biotechnology company, has been given provincial regulatory approval to test a mix of medications that could help alleviate symptoms and stop the virus from getting worse.
It consists of two different parts – people recovering from the virus in the hospital and those in quarantine at home or other secure areas.
Dr. Anmol Kapoor, who’s overseeing the trial, tells Mix News many areas of COVID-19 continue to be unknown, including treatments.
“We don’t know if the strategy may be helpful, so that’s why it’s better to test this hypothesis in a clinical trial setting where we can monitor it.”

A 36-year-old man from Anzac is being charged after allegedly fleeing and ramming a police vehicle near Smoky Lake.
Around 1 p.m. on February 21, Lac La Biche RCMP drove to a residence in Kikino to arrest a man wanted for an armed robbery in Boyle.
As they were approaching, the wanted individual and two other men fled.
The Mounties decided to set up multiple tire deflation devices on a rural road near Highway 28, however, the vehicle rammed a police vehicle twice in an attempt to avoid the device.
The police claim the vehicle eventually lost control and went into a ditch, where they were able to arrest the three men.
