LAS VEGAS (FOX5) -- As COVID-19 cases surge across Southern Nevada, researchers are hoping sick patients are willing to seek relief in clinical trials for medicines for COVID-19 patients. 

More than a year and a half into the pandemic, there are still few options for patients recovering with mild to moderate symptoms at home. 

Doctors at the Forte Family Practice Infusion Center and Las Vegas Medical Research Center have explored options from IV treatments, intramuscular injections, pills and even inhalers.

​

Dr. Bobby Mocherla said the new treatments available from several months ago also address the new variants.
