As of March 18, 2021, at least 29.6 million people in the United States have been infected with COVID-19, and more than 537,000 have died. There is an urgent need to find effective COVID-19 therapies, in the US and worldwide. Eli Lilly and Company, a US-based pharmaceutical company, is conducting multiple studies for investigational medicines that may be able to help. The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is allowing this research as part of the process for the development of new medicines. The investigational medicines are a common type of drug that scientists make to mimic part of the body's immune system. They are not vaccines and they do not contain the COVID-19 virus.
More research is needed to see if these investigational medicines can prevent and treat COVID-19. You can join in the search by participating in a study.
We are enrolling volunteers for studies at locations across the US. We have designed these studies to make participation in them as convenient as possible. Each of our studies has a unique purpose and different requirements for who can participate.
We can help you find a study that may be the best fit for you. Review the information below and visit the website links provided for each study, or use our Find a Study feature for help walking through the options.
