RECOVER-AUTONOMIC: A Platform Protocol for Evaluation of Interventions for Autonomic Dysfunction in Post-Acute Sequelae of SARS-CoV-2 Infection (PASC)

Name
Pro00112597
Description
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.

Early phase I
Treatment
IVIG + Coordinated Care
Participants will receive IVIG for a duration of 9 months and coordinated non-pharmacologic care for a duration of 3 months, concurrent with IVIG administration. Coordinated non-pharmacologic care involves volume expansion through high salt diet, water intake, abdominal binder, exercise/rehabilitation, motivation, education, and assisted care through a care coordinator.
Arms:
IVIG
IVIG Placebo + Coordinated Care
Normal saline given intravenously will be the control (placebo) product. Blinding IV bag and tubing covers will be used for both IVIG and Placebo administration. Participants will receive IVIG placebo for a duration of 9 months and coordinated non-pharmacologic care for a duration of 3 months, concurrent with IVIG placebo administration. Coordinated non-pharmacologic care involves volume expansion through high salt diet, water intake, abdominal binder, exercise/rehabilitation, motivation, education, and assisted care through a care coordinator.
Arms:
IVIG
Ivabradine + Coordinated Care
Participants will receive Ivabradine for a duration of 3 months and coordinated non-pharmacologic care for a duration of 3 months, concurrent with ivabradine administration. Coordinated non-pharmacologic care involves volume expansion through high salt diet, water intake, abdominal binder, exercise/rehabilitation, motivation, education, and assisted care through care coordinator.
Arms:
Ivabradine
Ivabradine Placebo + Coordinated Care
The control (placebo) oral tablets will be similar to the study drug, ivabradine. The control packaging matches the packaging. Participants will receive Ivabradine placebo for a duration of 3 months and coordinated non-pharmacologic care for a duration of 3 months, concurrent with ivabradine placebo administration. Coordinated non-pharmacologic care involves volume expansion through high salt diet, water intake, abdominal binder, exercise/rehabilitation, feedback, nutrition counseling, motivation, education, and assisted care through care coordinator.
Arms:
Ivabradine
IVIG + Usual Care
Participants will receive IVIG for a duration of 9 months and usual non-pharmacologic care (control) for a duration of 3 months. This will be concurrent with scheduled IVIG administration.
Arms:
IVIG
IVIG Placebo + Usual Care
Normal saline given intravenously will be the control (placebo) product. The normal saline will be of similar formulation and appearance to IVIG. Participants will receive IVIG placebo for a duration of 9 months and usual non-pharmacologic care (control) for a duration of 3 months. This will be concurrent with scheduled IVIG placebo administration.
Arms:
IVIG
Ivabradine + Usual Care
Participants will receive Ivabradine for a duration of 3 months and usual non-pharmacologic care (control) for a duration of 3 months, concurrent with ivabradine administration.
Arms:
Ivabradine
Ivabradine Placebo + Usual Care
The control (placebo) oral tablets will be similar to the study drug, ivabradine. The control packaging matches the packaging. Participants will receive Ivabradine placebo for a duration of 3 months and usual non-pharmacologic care (control) for a duration of 3 months, concurrent with ivabradine placebo administration.
