Ensitrelvir for Viral Persistence and Inflammation in People Experiencing Long COVID
Sponsor: Timothy Henrich
Summary
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.
Official title: Placebo-Controlled, Randomized Trial of Ensitrelvir (S-217622) for Viral Persistence and Inflammation in People Experiencing Long COVID (PREVAIL-LC)
