NCT06128967 | RECRUITING | Long COVID-19 Syndrome

A Multicenter, Adaptive, Randomized, doublE-blinded, Placebo-controlled Study in Participants With Long COVID-19: The REVIVE Trial
Sponsor:

Cardresearch

Brief Summary:

Date of notification letter to the IRB informing start of recruitment activities: October 21, 2023. Long COVID is a multi-systemic condition comprising often severe and persistent symptoms (longer than 12 weeks) that follow a known episode of COVID-19 and cannot be explained by another medical condition. This condition is observed in up to 15% of all individuals after an acute episode of COVID-19, even in those who had a mild and oligosymptomatic SARS-CoV-2 infection. Around 40% of these patients present symptoms that significantly compromise their daily activities. There is increasing evidence that LONG COVID is accompanied by dysregulated, persistent and uncontrolled inflammation, often accompanied by the development of an autoreactive immune response, including autoantibodies. Symptoms can last months or years, particularly in cases of chronic fatigue syndrome, with significant proportions of individuals having significant chronic impairment, preventing the performance of work and social activities.

Condition or disease

Long COVID-19 Syndrome

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Intervention/treatment

Fluvoxamine Maleate 100 MG

Placebo

Metformin Extended Release Oral Tablet

Phase

PHASE3

Detailed Description:

There is currently no approved therapies for Long COVID. Several clinical trials have been developed to address this clinical condition, however the results were based on small-scale pilot studies. We developed this adaptive, large-scale, prospective, double-blind clinical trial to evaluate the effect of chronic immune-inflammatory modulation on persistent Long-COVID symptoms.

Study Type : INTERVENTIONAL
Estimated Enrollment : 1500 participants
Masking : QUADRUPLE
Masking Description : The production of medication bottles is carried out by a pharmaceutical company, which does not have access to members of the research centers. The pills are similar in shape, color, size and weight and are packaged in identical bottles and coded according to each medication arm, this code being inaccessible to the investigator, the sponsor, the medical care provider and the research participant. The allocation process follows a random sequential distribution into blocks. The posology of the medications is identical for all arms.
Primary Purpose : TREATMENT
Official Title : An Adaptive, Randomized, doublE-blind, Placebo-controlled, Prospective, Pharmacological interVention Study In Participants With Long COVID-19 Syndrome: REVIVE-TOGETHER Trial
Actual Study Start Date : 2023-10-18
Estimated Primary Completion Date : 2024-10-18
Estimated Study Completion Date : 2025-05-18
