There are two groups in the outpatient studies. One group does have to be actively infected, have to have a positive test, but not hospitalized, said Dr. Nathaniel Marchetti, Thoracic Medicine and Surgery.
So that patient isn t terribly sick. The other group would be someone who s not infected. We re trying to prevent an infection because they re in high risk because you know their spouse might be infected, said Dr. Marchetti.
Someone in your household is infected but you are not.
There is a one-time infusion drug and oral medications in those trials. To take part, you can reach out to Temple by calling 215-707-1359 or emailing at breathe@tuhs.temple.edu.
