Vanderbilt University Medical Center is searching for 220 volunteers who recently tested positive for coronavirus for a new clinical trial of drugs with potential to treat the virus.

This therapeutic drug trial is separate from coronavirus vaccine trials that are ongoing at Vanderbilt and elsewhere in Nashville.
