NCT ID NCT07529197

First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This study looks at a blood-filtering procedure called immunoadsorption (IA) in 50 people with ME/CFS or Post-COVID syndrome who have certain autoantibodies. The goal is to see if removing these antibodies improves symptoms like severe fatigue and brain fog. Researchers will track changes in physical function and daily work ability over time.

Active substance

Immunoadsorption (IA) using TheraSorb® column

What this could lead to

If successful, this could point toward a treatment for ME/CFS and Post-COVID syndrome by removing harmful antibodies from the blood.

What could go wrong

This is an early observational study with only 50 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. The procedure is not a cure and may not work for all patients.
