Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The Primary objective of this study is to determine, using unblinded samples, if it is possible to develop an algorithm for the classification of specific blood RNA from patients with long COVID together and separately from the apparent health normal controls and other medical conditions that share the signs and symptoms of long COVID.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Participants will be screened and provide two blood samples28 (+/- 2) days apart. Based on the participants survey results they will be placed into one of fourteen groups that reflect the type of Long COVID the patient is experiencing. Samples will be shipped to the sponsor who will develop an AI process to validate the type of Long COVID and assess its severity. The long term goal is to develop a reliable test to identify the presence of Long COVID and its severity.

Primary Study Purpose

DIAGNOSTIC

Blinding Strategy

SINGLE

Participants
Patients will be assigned a random number from the electronic health record. The only information shared with the sponsor will be Pt ID number, age, gender and state of residence.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Participants never infected by SARS-COV-2

Participants with no history of SARS-COV-2 infection. This is a control arm of the study. Participants will complete an ethnic survey, medical history survey and undergo two blood draws.

Group Type ACTIVE_COMPARATOR

RNA Biomarker Blood Test

Intervention Type DIAGNOSTIC_TEST

Blood will be collected into a PaxGene Blood tube for processing by sponsor

Participants with SARS-COV-2 post-infection without long COVID

Participants with a history of SARS-COV-2 infection, but never developed long term sequalae. This is a control arm of the study. Participants will complete an ethnic survey, medical history survey and undergo two blood draws.

Group Type ACTIVE_COMPARATOR

RNA Biomarker Blood Test

Intervention Type DIAGNOSTIC_TEST

Blood will be collected into a PaxGene Blood tube for processing by sponsor

Participants with long COVID and current/active respiratory symptoms

Participants with a history of SARS-COV-2 infection and developed long term sequalae associated with their respiratory system: continued shortness of breath, etc.. This is an experimental arm of the study. Participants will complete an ethnic survey, medical history survey and undergo two blood draws.
