Researchers are evaluating the safety and effectiveness of oral Apabetalone combined with background dapagliflozin treatment for up to 12 weeks in adults with type 2 diabetes mellitus T2DM who have experienced probable or confirmed COVID-19 infection. Participants must have symptoms of Long COVID lasting at least 2 months within 3 months from the start of COVID-19, which cannot be explained by other diagnoses. This phase II, open-label multicentre trial aims to better understand treatment options for this group of patients. Participants will take oral Apabetalone 100 mg capsules twice daily with meals while continuing their daily dapagliflozin 10 mg therapy for diabetes. The study involves seven in-person clinic visits where data will be collected to assess the treatments effects. After screening and consent, eligible participants begin Apabetalone treatment on Day 1 and continue it at home under study supervision. During the trial, participants will undergo various assessments including symptom evaluations and functional status tools related to Long COVID. The primary outcome is the patient acceptable symptom state at 90 days. Secondary measures include fatigue, dyspnea, and post-exertional malaise assessments. Safety and adherence will be monitored throughout, with the total study duration covering treatment and follow-up visits over approximately 12 weeks.
