What our Patients say about our services
COVID – 19
Ongoing Treatment Studies
Monroe Biomedical Research is an FDA sanctioned clinical trial facility running multiple COVID treatment studies examining different ways to treat COVID.
Pfizer COVID Treatment Study
Antiviral Pill
“Pfizer says its experimental pill for COVID-19 cut rates of hospitalization and death by nearly 90% among patients with mild-to-moderate infections.”
This study is investigating a type of medication called protease inhibitor. Proteases are enzymes that break down proteins. Some viruses rely on proteases to make copies of themselves. PF-07321332 blocks a protease called 3CLpro that the SARS-CoV-2 virus (the virus that causes COVID-19) uses to make copies of itself. We want to learn if PF-07321332 with ritonavir may stop the virus from spreading in a person.

Novartis COVID Treatment Study
The immune system’s natural defense against COVID-19 involves the creation of proteins called Antibodies. These proteins bind to the receptors of COVID which in turn neutralizes the virus’s ability to enter a human cell and multiply. This therapy is designed to mimic this process. The patient receives an infusion of proteins specifically designed to bind to COVID-19 and neutralize the Virus.

Adamis COVID Treatment Study
Join our clinical study testing an investigational drug called Tempol. It’s a unique medication – a powerful antiviral, anti-inflammatory, antioxidant medicine.
We’re looking for people with certain conditions–like obesity, high blood pressure, and diabetes–to see if study treatment can keep you from developing severe illness requiring hospitalization and to see how long it takes to relieve your symptoms.

Scope COVID Treatment Study
Study for patients with a greater risk of developing a more severe illness from COVID-19.
The purpose of this research is to understand if the study medication, also called sargramostim or Leukine®, can help prevent the worsening of COVID-19 when the study drug is inhaled using a nebulizer.

FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
What kind of COVID-19 testing is performed at MBR?
- MBR uses a Sofia 2 SARS Antigen rapid test analyzer to detect the presence of the virus within a nasal swab sample.
How Fast will I get the results of my COVID-19 Rapid test?
- After a patient is swabbed, the test will determine whether a patient is infected with COVID-19 within 15 minutes.
How much does the testing cost?
- MBR performs COVID-19 rapid test free of charge. The service is available for all backgrounds including those without insurance.
How much does the COVID-19 treatment cost?
- Those that are COVID positive could qualify for MBR’s ongoing COVID treatment studies. Participating in these studies is FREE OF CHARGE. In fact, those that qualify and choose to participate may be compensated for their time and travel expenses.
What if I am uninsured?
- MBR’s services and study treatments are FREE OF CHARGE. Your insurance will never be billed for any procedures or examinations performed at our study site.
What does FDA emergency use authorization mean?
- An Emergency Use Authorization (EUA) is a mechanism to facilitate the availability and use of medical countermeasures, including vaccines, during public health emergencies, such as the current COVID-19 pandemic. (source: FDA.gov)
How do monoclonal antibodies treat COVID-19?
- Unlike chemical based pharmaceuticals, monoclonal antibodies are a class of medications engineered to work like natural antibodies—proteins that your body produces to neutralize bacteria and viruses. When infused into the body, monoclonal antibodies can bind to the COVID-19 virus, effectively neutralizing it. Studies have shown that these antibody treatments can reduce the risk of COVID-19 (including hospitalization and death) by 87%.
