About This Trial

This study will test the safety and tolerability of Anktiva in patients with Long Covid. Eligible patients will receive up to 2 doses of Anktiva and have follow-up exams and tests.

What Stage of Research Is This?

Phase 2 trials evaluate whether a treatment actually works against Long COVID and continue monitoring side effects. Phase 2 enrolls larger groups (typically 100–300 patients) and produces the first real efficacy signal. A successful Phase 2 readout is what unlocks the much larger Phase 3 confirmatory trials needed for FDA approval.

This trial is currently recruiting participants. The sponsor has registered the study with ClinicalTrials.gov as actively enrolling, which means new applicants who meet the eligibility criteria can be considered for screening. Trial status can change between updates — confirm current recruiting status with the study contact before traveling for a screening visit.

With a target enrollment of 20 participants, this is a small study — typical of early-phase research, rare-disease trials, or pilot studies designed to generate preliminary signal before a larger study is launched.

Who May Be Eligible (Plain English)

Who May Qualify: - Age ≥ 18 and \< 70 years. - Enrolled or willing to enroll and complete at least 1 visit in the UCSF Long-term Impact of Infection with Novel Coronavirus study. Any adult who has been infected with SARS-CoV-2 or has ever received or is eligible to receive a SARS-CoV-2 vaccination, and who is able to provide written willing to sign a consent form, is eligible to participate in LIINC. - History of at least one SARS-CoV-2 infection, defined as report of a positive nucleic acid amplification test (NAAT) and/or a positive SARS-CoV-2 antigen rapid diagnostic test (RDT). Written proof of the test will be requested but is not required as long as the participant attests to the positive test. Those with only suspected but unconfirmed infections are not eligible for this study. - Clinical evidence of Long COVID, as confirmed by the Investigator's assessment. 1. At least 2 symptoms or at least 1 severe symptom as assessed by the study team (see list) that are new or worsened since the time of a SARS-CoV-2 infection, not known to be attributable to another cause upon assessment by the PI. At least 2 symptoms from those listed here must be present: systemic symptoms (eg, fatigue, chills, post-exertional malaise), neurocognitive symptoms (eg, trouble with memory/concentration ("brain fog"), headache, dysautonomia/postural orthostatic tachycardia symptoms, dizziness, unsteadiness, neuropathy, sleep disturbance), cardiopulmonary symptoms (eg, chest pain, palpitations, shortness of breath, cough, fainting spells), musculoskeletal symptoms (eg, muscle aches, joint pain), gastrointestinal symptoms (eg, nausea, diarrhea). Although other symptoms (eg, skin rash, hair loss, mental health symptoms, trouble with smell/taste, genitourinary symptoms) will be recorded and tracked, at least 2 core symptoms listed above must be present. Note: the 2 symptoms can be from within the same category (for example, brain fog and headache) AND ...See full criteria on ClinicalTrials.gov Always talk to your doctor about whether this trial is right for you.

Is participating in a clinical trial safe?

Clinical trials in the United States are regulated by the FDA and overseen by Institutional Review Boards (IRBs) that review the protocol for safety. Risk varies by trial — Phase 1 studies test new treatments in humans for the first time, while Phase 3 trials use treatments that have already passed earlier safety screening. The informed consent document for any specific trial details the known risks and what to expect. Discuss those risks with your physician before deciding whether to participate.
