COVID-19 has affected the lives of everybody. We need to find safe and effective treatments that can help people to recover at home, without the need to go to hospital. Researchers at the University of Oxford – in partnership with the NIHR – are trying to do this right now, and you have an opportunity to help by joining a national priority study called PANORAMIC.
The trial aims to find antiviral treatments that reduce hospital admission and speed-up recovery for people with COVID-19, who are at home and in the early stages of infection. The first antiviral treatment to be investigated through the trial will be molnupiravir (brand name Lagevrio).
To take part, you will need to have had a positive COVID-19 test result and be experiencing COVID-19 symptoms which started within the last five days. You also need to be aged 50 years and over, or 18 years and over with an underlying health condition, such as asthma. Taking part is easy. Eligible participants can join online or over the phone from the comfort of your own home. We will courier all the information you need directly to you at home. You will also receive a symptom diary, and you may receive a treatment to take.
