Randomized Double-Blind Placebo-Controlled Trial EValuating Baricitinib on PERSistent NEurologic and Cardiopulmonary symptoms of Long COVID (REVERSE-LC) (REVERSE-LC)

The purpose of this study is to understand if a drug called baricitinib can help with thinking and memory problems after COVID-19 infection for people suffering with Long COVID. Some people have thinking and memory problems along with possible difficulty breathing, a racing heart, dizziness, and/or fatigue after COVID-19 called Long COVID. This includes things like having a hard time remembering people’s names, managing money, or keeping a job. For some patients, these issues may last several years. We still do not understand why these problems happen and why they last longer in some people. This study will look at the changes in brain function, heart function, and daily activities after taking baricitinib or placebo for people who experience Long COVID.

Diaphragmatic Breathing Exercises for post-COVID-19 Diaphragmatic Dysfunction (DD)

There is evidence that dysfunction of the diaphragm following COVID infection that leads to the shortness of breath and chest tightness. The diaphragm is the main muscle of respiration. This study involves muscle stretching of the diaphragm and associated muscles to improve the quality of respiration. Half of the participants will receive PT twice a week, for 12 weeks, for 1 hour (in person) and a half hour via telehealth. A control group will undergo traditional treatment as recommended by your provider.

DAS181-3-01: A Phase III Randomized Placebo-Controlled Study to Examine the Efficacy and Safety of DAS181 for the Treatment of Lower Respiratory Tract Parainfluenza Infection in Immunocompromised Subjects

This research study is for participants who have a weakened immune system (are immunocompromised), have a lower lung infection and are currently using a machine or device to help them breathe. The study will look at whether the study drug, DAS181, works and how safe it is compared with a placebo in adults who have a weakened immune system (immunocompromised) and a parainfluenza virus (PIV) infection of the lower respiratory tract. A placebo looks the same as the study drug but does not contain any active ingredients.
