Study Seeking Lake Charles Area COVID-19 Patients

If you have COVID-19 and live in the Lake Charles area, a local medical facility would like you to participate in a clinical trial for a new experimental treatment.

Dr. Jason Morris of the Imperial Heath Urgent Care Center in Moss Bluff is seeking local residents with COVID-19 like symptoms to participate in a trial of an experimental coronavirus treatment.

Patients who enter the 85-day trial will be asked to monitor their symptoms and be available for blood work when needed, and will receive $800 compensation upon completion.
