Blood filtering for autoimmune long COVID
Part of Infections, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This trial tests if filtering certain antibodies from the blood can help people with long COVID who experience post-exertional malaise (PEM) and reduced function. It aims to see if this treatment reduces symptoms and improves daily life.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You have been diagnosed with long COVID based on WHO criteria.
