Utilizing Novel Blood RNA Biomarkers as a Diagnostic Tool in the Identification of Long COVID-19
Purpose
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.

Arm Groups
Arm | Description | Assigned Intervention |
---|---|---|
Active Comparator 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. |
|
Active Comparator 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. |
|
Active Comparator 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. |
|
Active Comparator Participants with long COVID and current/active neurological symptoms |
Participants with a history of SARS-COV-2 infection and developed long term sequalae associated with their neurologic system: brain fog, confusion, etc.. This is an experimental arm of the study. Participants will complete an ethnic survey, medical history survey and undergo two blood draws. |
|
Active Comparator Participants who have long COVID with current/active both respiratory and neurological symptoms |
Participants with a history of SARS-COV-2 infection and developed long term sequalae associated with both their respiratory system and their neurologic system. This is an experimental arm of the study. Participants will complete an ethnic survey, medical history survey and undergo two blood draws. |
|
Active Comparator Participants who have other current/active long COVID symptoms |
Participants with a history of SARS-COV-2 infection and developed long term sequalae not associated with respiratory or neurological conditions. |
|
Active Comparator Participants with neurological symptoms prior to 1 November 2019 without SARS-COV-2 infection |
Participants without a history of SARS-COV-2 infection and had neurological conditions prior to 1 November 2019. |
|
Active Comparator Participants with respiratory symptoms before 1 November 2019 w/o SARS-COV-2 prior to 1 Nov 2019 |
Participants without a history of SARS-COV-2 infection and had respiratory conditions prior to 1 November 2019. |
|
Active Comparator Participants with neurological symptoms prior to 1 November 2019 with SARS-COV-2 infection |
Participants with a history of SARS-COV-2 infection and had neurological conditions prior to 1 November 2019. |
|
Active Comparator Participants with respiratory symptoms prior to 1 November 2019 with SARS-COV-2 infection |
Participants with respiratory symptoms prior to 1 November 2019 with SARS-COV-2 infection |
|
Active Comparator Participants with resolved long COVID respiratory symptoms |
Participants with a history of SARS-COV-2 infection and long term respiratory symptoms that have resolved |
|
Active Comparator Participants with resolved long COVID neurological symptoms |
Participants with a history of SARS-COV-2 infection and resolved long COVID neurological symptoms |
|
Active Comparator Participants with resolved long COVID respiratory and neurological symptoms |
Participants with history of SARS-COV-2 and resolved long COVID respiratory and neurological symptoms |
|
Active Comparator Participants with other resolved long COVID symptoms |
Participants with a history of SARS-COV-2 and other resolved long COVID symptoms |

Detailed Description
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.
