Montefiore Health System and Albert Einstein College of Medicine are the first sites in the nation to begin evaluating an investigational drug in two separate, FDA-approved trials: one to treat mild-to-moderate cases of COVID-19 and the other to treat severely ill COVID-19 patients. They are hopeful that the drug, leronlimab, may prevent the "cytokine storm" that inflames and fatally damages the lungs and other organs of many COVID-19 patients.
