Argenx spokesperson Petok says the company has no intention of running another trial of Vyvgart in long COVID POTS, based on the previous trial results. Spend years trying to get funds, clinical trial sites, and a study protocol that satisfies regulators, and you leave patients in limbo. In 2023, a friend told him about a trial near Miami testing Ampligen, a drug approved for ME/CFS in Argentina, to see whether it would treat long COVID. )Miglis says he doesnt know how Argenx decided to stop the trial or communicate with patients. You could feed it into a program that says, Well, this long COVID person still has active viral infections, so they should be treated with antiviral therapy. Other trial participants began contacting their respective clinical sites to find out what was going on, she says. We did learn that some patients felt better while participating in this clinical trial and we see that in the data, the Q&A reads.
