Hope dashed: drug trial for Post-COVID racing heart stopped early
NCT ID NCT06524739
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tested a drug called IgPro20 (HIZENTRA) to see if it could help people with post-COVID POTS, a condition that causes a rapid heart rate and dizziness when standing. The trial was stopped early after enrolling only 16 adults. The goal was to see if the drug could reduce symptoms and improve daily life, but results are limited due to early termination.
