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.

Detailed 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.

Conditions

• Long COVID
• Long Covid19
• Long Covid-19

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
DRUG	Ivabradine	Participants will receive ivabradine for 3 months (12 weeks) with a follow-up period for an additional 3 months (total study duration of 6 months).
DRUG	Ivabradine Placebo	The control (placebo) oral tablets will be similar to the study drug, ivabradine. The control packaging matches the packaging. Participants will receive placebo for 3 months (12 weeks) with a follow-up period for an additional 3 months (total study duration of 6 months).
BEHAVIORAL	Coordinated Care	Participants will receive 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.
BEHAVIORAL	Usual Care	Participants will receive usual non-pharmacologic care (control) for a duration of 3 months, concurrent with ivabradine administration.
