Race to stop long COVID: major trial tests common drug

NCT ID NCT05852873

Summary

This large study is testing if taking the antiviral drug Paxlovid for a short time right after getting COVID-19 can prevent people from developing long-lasting symptoms, known as long COVID. About 2,000 adults in Norway with recent, confirmed COVID-19 will take either Paxlovid or a placebo pill for 5 days. Researchers will then track their health for months to see if the drug reduces problems like severe tiredness, shortness of breath, and brain fog.
