Additional reports of patients with long COVID who were helped by Pfizer Inc’s oral antiviral treatment Paxlovid offer fresh impetus for conducting clinical trials to test the medicine for the debilitating condition, US researchers said on Thursday.

Pfizer's coronavirus disease pill Paxlovid is packaged in Ascoli, Italy.

It affects people who have had both mild and severe COVID-19, including children, and can be severe enough to keep people out of work. “There’s been a lot of hope that early antiviral therapy, in addition to preventing severe COVID, will prevent long COVID. And that might be true, but this case suggests that it won’t be true 100% of the time,” Peluso said.

“It provides evidence that we really need to study this soon, and … systematically, which means randomized trials,” said Peluso.
