Centralized Website Launches for Covid-19 Clinical Trials
A central web portal called Combat COVID—https://combatcovid.hhs.gov/—recently went live, as did a Spanish version at https://combatecovid.hhs.gov/.
Launched by the Department of Health and Human Services, in coordination with NIH and Operation Warp Speed, the portals serve as one-stop resources to help the public and doctors find information about different stages of Covid-19 illness, NIH-supported Covid-19 prevention and treatment clinical trials, and locations to donate plasma. The websites provide clear and easy-to-understand information for:
-
People who have never had Covid-19 who may be interested in joining a vaccine or other prevention trial
-
People who have Covid-19 and want to participate in a treatment clinical trial
-
People who have recovered from Covid-19 who may be interested in donating plasma
-
Doctors and other health care providers who want more information to guide their patients who have Covid-19.
