Clinical Trial Summary

The primary objective of this study is to determine, in unblinded samples, whether artificial intelligence can classify specific blood RNA from patients with long COVID together and separately from apparently healthy normals and other medical conditions which share signs and symptoms of long COVID.

Description:

Participants will be screened and provide two blood samples 30 (+/- 5) days apart. Based on the participants survey results they will be placed into one of eleven groups that reflect the type of Long COVID the patient is experiencing. Samples will be shipped to the sponsor who will attempt to use AI processes 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.

Outcome

Type	Measure	Description	Time frame	Safety issue
Primary	Artificial Intelligence Identified number of RNA Biomarkers for Long COVID	The primary objective of this study is to determine, in unblinded samples, whether artificial intelligence can classify specific blood RNA from patients with long COVID together and separately from apparently healthy normals and other medical conditions which share signs and symptoms of long COVID.	30 days
Secondary	Artificial Intelligence Identified number of RNA Biomarkers for specific Long COVID subgroups	The secondary objective of the study is to determine if artificial intelligence can subclassify specific blood RNA biomarkers long COVID patients into various symptom-related subcategories to provide clinically relevant treatment options.	30 Days
