A clinical trial, called Discovery and coordinated by Inserm as part of the Reacting consortium, started in France to test four experimental treatments against COVID-19. This is a European project, the French part of which is financed by the Ministries of Higher Education, Research and Innovation (MESRI) and Health and Solidarity (MSS). The European part is supported at least by COMBACTE, PREPARE and RECOVER. It is led by Florence Ader, infectiologist in the Infectious and Tropical Diseases Department of the Croix-Rousse Hospital of Lyon University Hospital and researcher at the CIRI International Research Centre in Infectiology (Inserm/CNRS / Claude Bernard University Lyon 1).
