Increasing numbers of people with COVID-19 are experiencing the lingering effects of COVID-19 and continue to have prolonged respiratory complications months after the onset of the disease, also known as Post-Acute Sequelae of SARS-CoV-2 (PASC), long-COVID, and/or long-hauler patients.~The SARS-CoV-2 virus is transmitted through the respiratory system, which can cause a severe dysregulation of the immune response and damage in the lungs. Chronic, prolonged inflammation of the lungs maybe responsible for a myriad of continuing respiratory signs and symptoms post-infection, including cough, shortness of breath, chest discomfort, low exercise tolerance and low blood oxygen saturation.~Ampion is the low molecular weight filtrate of human serum albumin with the in vitro ability to modulate inflammatory cytokine levels. Ampion has the potential to improve clinical outcomes for long-COVID patients.~This study aims to evaluate the safety of Ampion and the clinical outcomes in patients with long-COVID.
This is a phase I study to evaluate the safety and efficacy of inhaled Ampion on patients with prolonged respiratory symptoms due to COVID-19 (Long COVID).
