Study Summary

This study is a platform protocol designed to be flexible so that it is suitable for a wide range of settings within health care systems and in community settings where it can be integrated into COVID-19 programs and subsequent treatment plans.

This protocol is a prospective, multi-center, multi-arm, randomized, controlled platform trial evaluating various interventions for use in the treatment of autonomic dysfunction symptoms, including cardiovascular complications and postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome (POTS), in PASC participants. The interventions tested will include non-pharmacologic care and pharmacologic therapies with study drugs.

Inclusion

Inclusion Criteria:

Additional Appendix B (Ivabradine Sub-study) Level Inclusion Criteria:

  1. Abnormal active standing test defined as presence of orthostatic tachycardia (anincrease of 30 beats per minute (bpm) or more in HR within 10 minutes upon standingwithout orthostatic hypotension) and experiencing orthostatic symptoms

  2. COMPASS-31 Score > 25 and not enrolled in the IVIG appendix

Exclusions Criteria:

  • See NCT06305780 for RECOVER-AUTO: Platform Protocol level inclusion criteria whichapplies to this appendix (or sub-study)

Exclusion

Additional Appendix B (Ivabradine Sub-study) Level Exclusion Criteria:

  1. A person of child-bearing potential who is not taking effective contraception

  2. Use of the following medications: clonidine, tizanidine, amphetamines, and serotoninand norepinephrine reuptake inhibitors (SNRIs) with the exception of modafinil

  8. Concomitant use of digoxin

  9. Participants who are pacemaker dependent

  10. Patients with hypokalemia (serum K+<3.5 mEq/L)

  11. Patients taking potassium-depleting diuretics

  12. A history of congenital or acquired long QT syndrome, with or without torsade depointes

  13. Patients with high degree AV block such as Mobitz II

Study Design

Total Participants: 180
Treatment Group(s): 4
Primary Treatment: Ivabradine Placebo
Phase: 2
Study Start date:
March 11, 2024
Estimated Completion Date:
December 31, 2026

Study Description

The hypothesis is that some of the autonomic dysfunction symptoms are immune-mediated, so immunotherapy and other applicable therapies will result in improvement in autonomic symptoms.

Interventions will be added to the platform protocol as appendices. Each appendix will leverage all elements of the platform protocol, with additional elements described in the individual appendix.
