Hidden danger: why some patients can't shake COVID-19
NCT ID NCT06576102
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tracked 204 patients with blood cancers or those on certain immune-suppressing treatments to see how often COVID-19 infection persists for 21 days or more. Researchers also looked for factors that make a long infection more likely. The goal was to better understand who is at risk, not to test a new treatment.
