E.2 Objective of the trial |
E.2.1 | Main objective of the trial |
To assess the effect of 6 weeks of CoQ10 treatment on the number and severity of self-reported symptoms in LTC patients |
|
E.2.2 | Secondary objectives of the trial |
Secondary objectives: -To assess a potential persistent effect of CoQ10 after 6 weeks dosing and 4 weeks of follow-up on the number and severity of self-reported symptoms in LTC patients. -To assess the safety and tolerability of the IMP
Potential exploratory objectives: -To investigate occurrence of auto-reactive antibodies at baseline compared to healthy controls (biobank samples). -To assess CoQ10 levels in plasma before and after CoQ10 treatment -To investigate if certain host genetic factors predict LTC -To perform quantitative proteomics of PBMCs by high mass accuracy nanoLC-MS/MS. -To assess cellular metabolic activities by Seahorse analyses of PBMCs samples -To assess oxidative stress in plasma through the marker 8-isoprostane (ELISA). -To assess a panel of cytokines in plasma through antibody based multiplexed analyses. -To assess metabolites of kynurenic pathway in plasma by UPLC-MS/MS.

E.3 | Principal inclusion criteria |
1. Age above 18 years. 2. Able to give informed consent. 3. History of documented SARS-CoV-2 infection either by RT-PCR or antibody test. 4. Symptoms related to LTC, defined as being investigated, diagnosed and followed by specialized infectious diseases physicians in the Long Term COVID-19 Outpatient Clinic, Central Region of Denmark, Aarhus University Hospital.

E.5 End points |
E.5.1 | Primary end point(s) |
Number and severity of self-reported symptoms of LTC, measured by self-reporting in questionnaires before and after 6 weeks of CoQ10, measured by symptoms score. |
|
E.5.1.1 | Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point |
Evaluation of primary endpoint after 6 weeks treatment, 4 weeks washout and 6 weeks placebo (order of intervention determined by allocation by randomization) |
|
E.5.2 | Secondary end point(s) |
1. Duration of a potential effect of CoQ10 measured as change in symptoms score 2. Safety evaluation, as measured by adverse events (AEs), Adverse Reactions (ARs), serious adverse events (SAEs), Serious ARs (SARs). |
|
E.5.2.1 | Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point |
1. 4 weeks after ending IMP: We aim to compare week 6 versus week 10 for study arm A and week 16 versus week 20 for study arm B. 2. Safety will be evaluated at each study visit. Final AE/SAE summary will be completed after 20 weeks |
