Are clozapine-treated patients more at risk of COVID-19 and subsequent pneumonia?

  • Applicant: Risha Govind
  • Project ID: 20-024

The study will test whether people taking clozapine are at greater risk of COVID-19 and its complications, and should, therefore, consider temporarily switching to another medication, either to reduce the risk of getting the virus or, if they do get it, to reduce the risk of complications.
