Plain Language Summary: This study is a clinical trial to see if ketamine can help treat symptoms of Long COVID, especially fatigue and problems with thinking clearly (often called "brain fog"). Long COVID is a condition that affects people even after they have recovered from COVID-19, causing ongoing health issues like tiredness, memory problems, and difficulty concentrating. Right now, there are very few treatments available for these symptoms, and many people are looking for new options to feel better. What is the study trying to find out? Does ketamine help reduce fatigue and improve thinking skills in people with Long COVID? Does ketamine improve overall quality of life and mental health for people with Long COVID? Is ketamine safe and well-tolerated for people with Long COVID? How does ketamine affect the body's biological processes, like inflammation and brain function? How will the study work? The study will include 20 adults between 18 and 65 years old who have Long COVID symptoms like fatigue or brain fog. Participants will first meet with researchers to answer health questions, take surveys about their symptoms, and do tests to check their thinking skills. Some participants will also have a brain scan (MRI) and give a blood sample to look at markers of inflammation. Participants will then receive four ketamine treatments over two weeks at a specialized clinic. The ketamine will be given as an injection, with the dose slightly increasing during the treatment period. After six weeks, participants will return for follow-up tests to see if their symptoms have improved. This includes repeating the surveys, thinking tests, and for some, another MRI and blood test. Why ketamine? Ketamine is a medicine originally used for anesthesia but has also been found to help with depression and other mental health issues. Researchers think it might help with Long COVID symptoms because it can reduce inflammation in the brain and improve how the brain functions. People with Long COVID often have signs of inflammation and changes in brain chemicals, which ketamine might help balance. What are the potential benefits? Participants might experience less fatigue and clearer thinking after ketamine treatment. They could also feel better overall in terms of mood and quality of life. Since ketamine can work quickly, some people may notice improvements shortly after starting the treatment. What are the risks? Ketamine can cause side effects like feeling dizzy, anxious, or having an unusual sense of reality (sometimes called dissociation). It may also cause temporary increases in blood pressure or heart rate. All treatments will be carefully monitored by healthcare professionals to ensure safety. Who can participate? Adults aged 18-65 with Long COVID who have significant fatigue or thinking problems can join. People will not be able to participate if they have certain health conditions like severe heart disease, uncontrolled high blood pressure, or a history of severe mental health disorders. Why is this study important? Long COVID affects millions of people, and many are struggling to find treatments that work. This study is one of the first to explore ketamine as a potential treatment for Long COVID symptoms. If ketamine helps, it could lead to more research and eventually new treatment options for people living with Long COVID.

The IMPACT Long Covid Treatment clinical study (IMPACT-LC) is testing two repurposed and previously approved drugs, Maraviroc and Atorvastatin, for the treatment of non-hospitalized subjects with long COVID/Post-Acute Sequelae of COVID (PASC). The main goals of the clinical study are to determine if this combination drug therapy can improve neurocognitive and physical functions in Long Covid patients, such as fatigue severity, heart rate, blood pressure, digestion, breathing, dizziness, and cognitive function. A secondary goal is to determine if biomarker levels, measured by a diagnostic test, can improve during treatment. To qualify for the trial, a subject must be an adult ≥ 18 and ≤ 65 years of age and meets the WHO-defined post-COVID-19 condition and has one or more new-onset Long Covid symptom that persist ≥ 6 months after the diagnosis of acute COVID-19 infection. A total of 252 participants will take either two daily doses of two existing medications (Maraviroc and Atorvastatin together as separate tablets) or a placebo (pills with no active ingredient) for 16 weeks. Although these medications are not yet approved for Long Covid, they are FDA-approved for use in treating other health conditions.

The primary objective of the present research is to determine the effectiveness of Family Health Center of San Diego's Long COVID and Fatiguing Illness Recovery Program (LC\&FIRP) on clinician- and patient-level outcomes. LC\&FIRP is comprised of a teleECHO program focused on multi-specialty case-consultation and peer-to-peer sharing of emerging best practices to support management of complex cases associated with Long COVID, Myalgic Encephalomyelitis/Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (ME/CFS), and other post-infectious fatiguing illnesses (PIFI). Our secondary objective is to determine the feasibility, acceptability, and sustainability of LC\&FIRP. Our findings should provide a fuller understanding of the potential impact of innovative technology enabled multi-disciplinary team-based care models in low-resource, community-based primary care settings.

Cognitive dysfunction, psychiatric symptoms, functional impairment, and disability following COVID-19 negatively impact Veterans' community functioning and quality of life, contribute to significant human suffering, and are costly to VHA. Rehabilitation is a critical priority for Veterans with long COVID. One promising treatment to improve functioning in Veterans with post-COVID-19 cognitive symptoms is Compensatory Cognitive Training (CCT). Previous studies have found that CCT is feasible, acceptable, and efficacious in Veteran populations with multiple sources of cognitive dysfunction. This randomized controlled trial aims to address important RR\&D priorities by examining feasibility, acceptability, and preliminary efficacy of a COVID-19-specific rehabilitation intervention, CCT for long COVID (CCT-C) compared to a robust control condition. The proposed study has the potential to improve cognitive function, functional independence, and quality of life for Veterans with late or delayed effects of secondary conditions related to COVID-19 infections.

Ensitrelvir for Post-COVID Syndrome

San Francisco, California
Persistent viral infection with viral reservoirs and detection of circulating spike protein after the initial acute illness is one potential pathogenic mechanism for Long COVID. This mechanism may be susceptible to antiviral therapy that blocks viral replication, which has the potential to alleviate long COVID symptoms. This trial will study the safety and efficacy of Ensitrelvir (S-217622), an antiviral, to treat individuals with Long COVID in an adult population.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much do Post-COVID Syndrome clinical trials pay?

Each trial will compensate patients a different amount, but $50-100 for each visit is a fairly common range for Phase 2–4 trials (Phase 1 trials often pay substantially more). Further, most trials will cover the costs of a travel to-and-from the clinic.

How do Post-COVID Syndrome clinical trials work?

After a researcher reviews your profile, they may choose to invite you in to a screening appointment, where they'll determine if you meet 100% of the eligibility requirements. If you do, you'll be sorted into one of the treatment groups, and receive your study drug. For some trials, there is a chance you'll receive a placebo. Across Post-COVID Syndrome trials 30% of clinical trials have a placebo. Typically, you'll be required to check-in with the clinic every month or so. The average trial length for Post-COVID Syndrome is 12 months.

How do I participate in a study as a "healthy volunteer"?

Not all studies recruit healthy volunteers: usually, Phase 1 studies do. Participating as a healthy volunteer means you will go to a research facility several times over a few days or weeks to receive a dose of either the test treatment or a "placebo," which is a harmless substance that helps researchers compare results. You will have routine tests during these visits, and you'll be compensated for your time and travel, with the number of appointments and details varying by study.

What does the "phase" of a clinical trial mean?

The phase of a trial reveals what stage the drug is in to get approval for a specific condition. Phase 1 trials are the trials to collect safety data in humans. Phase 2 trials are those where the drug has some data showing safety in humans, but where further human data is needed on drug effectiveness. Phase 3 trials are in the final step before approval. The drug already has data showing both safety and effectiveness. As a general rule, Phase 3 trials are more promising than Phase 2, and Phase 2 trials are more promising than phase 1.

Do I need to be insured to participate in a Post-COVID Syndrome medical study?

Clinical trials are almost always free to participants, and so do not require insurance. The only exception here are trials focused on cancer, because only a small part of the typical treatment plan is actually experimental. For these cancer trials, participants typically need insurance to cover all the non-experimental components.

What are the newest Post-COVID Syndrome clinical trials?

Most recently, we added Maraviroc + Atorvastatin for Post-COVID Syndrome, Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation for Post-COVID Syndrome and PET Imaging for Post-COVID Syndrome to the Power online platform.
