RECLAIM: Recovering From COVID-19 Lingering Symptoms Adaptive Integrative Medicine (RECLAIM)
REcovering From COVID-19 Lingering Symptoms Adaptive Integrative Medicine (RECLAIM)
The researchers propose to develop a Canada-wide, adaptive randomized clinical platform trial to assess the effectiveness of various interventions in patients with lingering symptoms of COVID-19 ("Long COVID"). Participants will be randomized initially to 1 of 3 arms, including placebo (control) and 2 interventions. Because this is an adaptive trial, arms can be dropped if found to be ineffective and new arms can be added.
Interventions will last for 2 months and participants will be followed for an additional 4 months (6 months total). Approximately 800-1000 patients with Long COVID will be recruited across Canada. Results from this trial will accelerate the availability of high-quality, real-time evidence and solutions to enable Canada to improve the clinical care of patients with Long COVID.

Outcome Measure |
Measure Description |
Time Frame |
---|---|---|
Symptoms scale
Time Frame: Baseline/Randomization weekly to 2 months, then once monthly to 6 months.
|
Three point Likert scale assessing how bothersome symptoms are on a weekly basis for two months then monthly until end of study, as reported by the participant: to provide a granular, detailed picture of the symptom trajectory.
|
Baseline/Randomization weekly to 2 months, then once monthly to 6 months.
|
Symptom Checklist
Time Frame: Baseline/Randomization weekly to 2 months, then once monthly to 6 months.
|
Symptom Checklist (adapted from the De Paul Symptom Questionnaire (DSQ2), the World Health Organization Global COVID-19 Clinical Platform's Post COVID-19 CRF and the Symptom Burden Questionnaire for Long COVID): to track symptom trajectory.
|
Baseline/Randomization weekly to 2 months, then once monthly to 6 months.
|
Six Minute Walking Test (6MWT) with oximetry
Time Frame: Baseline/Randomization and 2 months
|
Subjects walk as far as they can in six minutes while receiving maximum encouragement.
It is simple to execute, inexpensive, standardized and gives a tangible measure of functional exercise capacity.
It has been validated in many different populations.
The 6MWT will be conducted according to American Thoracic Society standards.
|
Baseline/Randomization and 2 months
|
TestMyBrain cognitive testing
Time Frame: Baseline/Randomization to 1, 2 months 3 and 6 months
|
TestMyBrain was developed as a tool to collect large, population-based samples for understanding the relationship between cognition, emotion, social functioning, and health.
This test battery will take about 20 minutes to complete and will assess: verbal, episodic and working memory, attention, processing speed, basic psychomotor response speed, and cognitive control.
|
Baseline/Randomization to 1, 2 months 3 and 6 months
|
Post COVID19 functional status scale
Time Frame: Baseline/Randomization to 1, 2 months 3 and 6 months
|
The post-COVID-19 functional status (PCFS) scale focuses on relevant aspects of daily life during follow-up after the infection.
The scale is intended to help users become aware of current functional limitations in COVID-19 patients, whether or not as a result of the specific infection, and to objectively determine this degree of disability.
The scale is ordinal, has 6 steps ranging from 0 (no symptoms) to 5 (death), and covers the entire range of functional outcomes by focusing on limitations in usual duties/activities either at home or at work/study, as well as changes in lifestyle.
The PCFS demonstrates good construct validity.
|
Baseline/Randomization to 1, 2 months 3 and 6 months
|
Reintegration to Normal Living Index (RNLI)
Time Frame: Baseline/Randomization to 1, 2 months 3 and 6 months
|

This tool has been validated in community living adults with mobility limitations.
|
Baseline/Randomization to 1, 2 months 3 and 6 months
|
Fatigue Scale
Time Frame: Baseline/Randomization to 1, 2 months 3 and 6 months

It is an easy-to-use, self-administered patient questionnaire that can be completed in minutes.
|
Baseline/Randomization to 1, 2 months 3 and 6 months
|
Mental Health - Patient Health Questionnaire (PHQ-9)
Time Frame: Baseline/Randomization to 1, 2 months 3 and 6 months
|
The PHQ-9 is a validated, multipurpose instrument for screening, diagnosing, monitoring and measuring the severity of depression. It incorporates Diagnostic and Statistical Manual 1V (DSM-IV) depression diagnostic criteria with other leading major depressive symptoms into a brief self-report tool. The PHQ-9 is brief and useful in clinical practice. The PHQ-9 is completed by the patient in minutes and is rapidly scored by the clinician. The PHQ-9 can also be administered repeatedly, which can reflect improvement or worsening of depression in response to treatment. |
Baseline/Randomization to 1, 2 months 3 and 6 months
|
Mental Health Composite score (MCS) of the SF-36
Time Frame: Baseline/Randomization to 1, 2 months 3 and 6 months
