About this trial

This study is a prospective, randomized controlled, basket trial. Patients diagnosed with Post-Acute Sequelae of SARS-CoV-2 Infection who meet the inclusion and exclusion criteria are recruited and divided into three symptom clusters: Inflammatory Cardiac involvement symptoms cluster, cough symptoms cluster and fatigue symptoms cluster. Each symptom cluster is randomly divided into an experimental group and a control group, Patients who do not accept treatment can be included in the observational cohort. Subjects in the experimental group receive immunomodulatory interventions plus conventional treatment, while subjects in the control group receive conventional treatment only. Subjects in each symptom cluster undergo clinical medical record data collection, laboratory tests, and imaging examinations at specified time points, as well as records of adverse events.

Trial outcomes

Primary outcomes

1

Inflammatory Cardiac Involvement symptom cluster: cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) indicators

Assessing the difference in changes in cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) indicators \[left ventricular ejection fraction, late gadolinium enhancement (LGE), and T1 and T2 mapping values (in milliseconds)\] from baseline between the experimental and control groups.

Time frame
4 weeks
2

Cough symptom cluster: Leicester Cough Questionnaire (LCQ) scale scores

Assessing the difference in changes in the Leicester Cough Questionnaire (LCQ) scale scores from baseline. The total score range of the LCQ is from 3 to 21 points, with higher scores indicating a lesser impact of cough on the patient's life.

Time frame
8 weeks
3

Fatigue symptom cluster: Fatigue Severity Scale (FSS) scale scores

Assessing the difference in changes in the Fatigue Severity Scale (FSS) scale scores from baseline. The total score range of the FSS is from 9 to 63 points, with higher scores indicating a greater severity of fatigue.

Time frame
4 weeks

Secondary outcomes

1

Inflammatory Cardiac Involvement symptom cluster: other relevant cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) indicators

Assessing the changes in in other relevant cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) indicators from baseline.

Time frame
4 weeks
2

Inflammatory Cardiac Involvement symptom cluster: VO2max

Assessing the changes in VO2max in cardiopulmonary exercise testing.

Time frame
At baseline, 4 weeks
3

Inflammatory Cardiac Involvement symptom cluster: Kansas City Cardiomyopathy Questionnaire (KCCQ) scores

Assessing the changes in the KCCQ scores between the experimental and control groups. The total score range of the KCCQ is from 0 to 100, with lower scores indicating poorer quality of life for heart failure patients.

Time frame
At baseline, 4, 8, 12, and 24 weeks
4

Inflammatory Cardiac Involvement symptom cluster: Change in cTNT Levels

Measures the change in cardiac troponin T (cTNT) levels

Time frame
At baseline, 4, 8, 12 and 24 weeks
