Coronavirus clinical trials in California
We’re tracking 8 recruiting coronavirus studies with a site in California — including Phase 3 studies, each written for real people, not researchers.
Recruiting studies in California
- NCT07221097Recruiting
Testing a new panel to detect COVID-19 and other coronaviruses
This trial uses leftover nasal swab samples to test a new panel that can detect COVID-19 and other coronaviruses. It helps see if the panel works well for diagnosing these infections.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges Any age - NCT04359836Recruiting
Study of gut bacteria in early COVID-19
This trial studies how gut bacteria (“gut flora”) may affect COVID-19 after a recent infection. If you test positive for COVID-19 soon enough, the study may help researchers understand why some people get better faster or have different symptoms.
Ventura, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06667700RecruitingPhase 3
A study of the antiviral molnupiravir for high-risk people with COVID-19
This study tests an antiviral pill called molnupiravir to see if it can prevent severe COVID-19 in people who are at high risk and cannot take Paxlovid. If you have mild to moderate COVID-19 symptoms and certain health risks, you may be able to join.
Castroville, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT04278404Recruiting
Drug safety study for children already on certain medicines
This study measures how certain medicines move through the body and checks their safety in children. It may help doctors better understand dosing and side effects in kids who are already receiving these treatments, or in some kids who recently tested positive for COVID-19.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges birth–20 years - NCT04330521Recruiting
Cancer patients share experiences during the COVID-19 outbreak
This study asks adult cancer patients to complete a survey and talk in an interview about how COVID-19 affected their care and daily life. Your answers may help researchers understand what challenges cancer patients faced during the pandemic.
Stanford, CaliforniaAges 18–99 - NCT04362150Recruiting
Study of long-term effects after COVID-19 infection
This study follows adults who had COVID-19 to learn how the illness can affect health over the long term. It may help researchers understand lasting symptoms and who is at higher risk, which could improve future care.
San Francisco, CaliforniaAges 18–100 - NCT05868239Recruiting
Testing an aerosol box during CPR emergencies
This study tests whether using an aerosol “box” during cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) during an emergency improves safety and care. It’s mainly aimed at trained healthcare staff who can perform required tasks during CPR.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 18–60 - NCT06631287RecruitingPhase 3
Testing baricitinib for persistent long COVID symptoms
This trial tests whether the anti-inflammatory drug baricitinib can improve persistent long COVID symptoms like brain fog, fatigue, and shortness of breath. You may qualify if you had COVID-19 at least 6 months ago and still have bothersome symptoms that affect your daily life.

What taking part in a coronavirus study involves
A screening visit first
Before anything else, the study team checks whether you fit — usually a visit with some tests. You can stop at any point, and screening is typically free.
Care at a nearby site
Study visits happen at a clinic or hospital taking part. Many studies cover the cost of the study treatment and related visits, and some reimburse travel.
You stay in control
Taking part is voluntary and you can leave a study at any time, for any reason, without affecting your regular care.
The team decides eligibility
Our fit check is a helpful first read, not a decision. The study team makes the final call after reviewing your health history.
Common questions
- Are there coronavirus clinical trials in California?
- Yes. We're currently tracking 8 recruiting coronavirus studies with a site in California, each rewritten in plain language so you can see what it's testing and who it's for.
- How do I find out if I qualify for a coronavirus study in California?
- Each study lists its eligibility rules — age, diagnosis, prior treatments. On every trial page we explain these in plain language and offer a short, optional pre-screen for a fit read. The study team makes the final decision.
- Do I have to live in California to take part?
- Not necessarily. These studies have a site in California, but eligibility is about your health, not your address — some people travel to take part, and a few studies reimburse travel. The study team can tell you what's required.
- Does it cost anything to join a coronavirus trial?
- Using Clin2 is always free. Many trials cover the study treatment and related visits; some reimburse travel. The study team explains exactly what's covered before you decide.
Not the right time?
New coronavirus studies open in California regularly. Set up a health profile and we’ll quietly watch for studies that fit you and email you when one opens.
