That is studying hydroxychloroquine, a less toxic metabolite of chloroquine.
If you navigate up a bit on that web site and enter COVID-19 for your search you will find about 50 studies, roughly a dozen or so are checking drugs.
- gnulinux 7y agoBut how are they having 50 studies if there are barely 50 confirmed cases in the US? Are they testing these drugs on other viral pneumonia patients? Or is this a "once we have patients we will initiate testing" sort of thing?
- jimrandomh 7y agoMost of the trials are happening in China, not the US.
