Success Found in New Treatment Trials for Long Covid in Germany

Posted: Friday, November 19, 2021 at 3:45 AM CST

Berlin, Germany -- (SBWire) -- 11/19/2021 --2020 was the year in which the treatment that topped every list was the vaccine that would beat COVID-19. This year, as vaccines have been approved and rolled out, we have seen the focus switch to the part of the virus that we know much less about: Long Covid. For patients who suffer from Long Covid life can become a daily struggle with exhaustion and a whole myriad of challenging conditions, aches and pains. However, this year a new treatment has been trialled that could help provide a solution to this incredibly debilitating condition. The Department of Ophthalmology at Universitätsklinikum Erlangen announced this year that it had successfully treated a 59-year-old patient for Long Covid and that the drug BC 007 was now being used to help several other patients who had started to respond in the same way. The drug is received intravenously via an infusion that lasts 75 minutes and could be a game changer where Long Covid is concerned.
