Long-Term Accuracy of Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) Interferon-γ Release Assay and Its Application in Household Investigation

Kanagavel Murugesan, Prasanna Jagannathan, Jonathan Altamirano, Yvonne A. Maldonado, Hector F. Bonilla, Karen B. Jacobson, Julie Parsonnet, Jason R. Andrews, Run-Zhang Shi, Scott Boyd, Benjamin A. Pinsky, Upinder Singh, Niaz Banaei

Summary: SARS-CoV-2 immunodiagnostics, such as the interferon-gamma release assay, are important for identifying infected individuals and assessing vaccine response. This study demonstrates that the assay maintains sensitivity up to 10 months post-infection and detects more household contacts than IgG.

Favipiravir for Treatment of Outpatients With Asymptomatic or Uncomplicated Coronavirus Disease 2019: A Double-Blind, Randomized, Placebo-Controlled, Phase 2 Trial

Marisa Holubar, Aruna Subramanian, Natasha Purington, Haley Hedlin, Bryan Bunning, Katharine S. Walter, Hector Bonilla, Athanasia Boumis, Michael Chen, Kimberly Clinton, Liisa Dewhurst, Carol Epstein, Prasanna Jagannathan, Richard H. Kaszynski, Lori Panu, Julie Parsonnet, Elizabeth L. Ponder, Orlando Quintero, Elizabeth Sefton, Upinder Singh, Luke Soberanis, Henry Truong, Jason R. Andrews, Manisha Desai, Chaitan Khosla, Yvonne Maldonado

Summary: This study found that commonly used doses of favipiravir did not show significant effectiveness in treating uncomplicated COVID-19 in outpatient settings. Further research is needed to determine if higher doses of favipiravir are effective and safe for patients with COVID-19.

Inflammatory but not respiratory symptoms are associated with ongoing upper airway viral shedding in outpatients with uncomplicated COVID-19

Karen B. Jacobson, Natasha Purington, Julie Parsonnet, Jason Andrews, Vidhya Balasubramanian, Hector Bonilla, Karlie Edwards, Manisha Desai, Upinder Singh, Haley Hedlin, Prasanna Jagannathan

Summary: The study found that most COVID-19 patients had a prolonged time to symptom resolution and viral shedding cessation. SARS-CoV-2 IgG seropositivity at enrollment was associated with faster resolution of viral shedding, but not with symptom resolution. Inflammatory symptoms were significantly associated with oropharyngeal viral detection, while respiratory symptoms were not.

Summary: Using host proteomics and transcriptomics, the trajectory of immune response in COVID-19 patients was characterized. Early immune markers were found to be associated with disease progression, control of viral shedding, and SARS-CoV-2-specific T cell and antibody responses. Machine-learning models accurately predicted patient outcomes.

Summary: This study assessed the prevalence, severity, and risk factors of autonomic dysfunction in PASC patients and found that 66% of patients had moderate to severe autonomic dysfunction. Furthermore, the study also found that the severity of autonomic dysfunction was not associated with the severity of acute COVID-19 illness.

Establishing a consensus on ME/CFS exclusionary illnesses

Leonard A. Jason, Suvetha Ravichandran, Ben Z. Z. Katz, Benjamin H. Natelson, Hector Fabio Bonilla

Summary: In the diagnosis of ME/CFS, it is important to exclude other conditions that could be causing the symptoms. Standardizing the exclusionary conditions is crucial for consistency and reproducibility in research studies. A consensus list of exclusionary comorbid conditions has been created, consisting of 14 categories and 53 specific examples.

Summary: The study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of Acebilustat in treating outpatients with COVID-19, and the results showed that the medication did not shorten symptom duration.

Development of a Definition of Postacute Sequelae of SARS-CoV-2 Infection

Walker, Caitlin A. Selvaggi, Daniel J. Shinnick, Carolin C. M. Schulte, Rachel Atchley-Challenner, Leora I. Horwitz, Andrea S. Foulkes

Summary: SARS-CoV-2 infection is associated with persistent, relapsing, or new symptoms or other health effects occurring after acute infection, known as postacute sequelae of SARS-CoV-2 infection (PASC), or long COVID. This study developed a definition of PASC based on self-reported symptoms and described the frequencies of PASC across cohorts, vaccination status, and number of infections.

Reductions in synaptic marker SV2A in early-course Schizophrenia

Summary: Excess synaptic pruning during neurodevelopment is a leading hypothesis for schizophrenia, and the availability of the first-in-human in vivo synaptic marker allows for precise testing of this hypothesis. This study found significant reductions in binding in early-course schizophrenia patients, replicating findings from chronic patients. These results add to the growing evidence that excess synaptic pruning is a major disease mechanism for schizophrenia.

Therapeutic trials for long COVID-19: A call to action from the interventions taskforce of the RECOVER initiative

Summary: Although most individuals recover from acute SARS-CoV-2 infection, a significant number continue to suffer from long-term symptoms known as long COVID. Ongoing pathobiology studies have provided clues to potential mechanisms contributing to this condition, including persistent viral material, immune dysregulation, and gut dysbiosis. Therapeutic trials targeting these biological pathways are needed, but off-label experimentation in uncontrolled settings should be discouraged.

Low-dose naltrexone use for the management of post-acute sequelae of COVID-19

Hector Bonilla, Lu Tian, Vincent C. Marconi, Robert Shafer, Grace A. Mccomsey, Mitchel Miglis, Philip Yang, Andres Bonilla, Lauren Eggert, Linda N. Geng

Summary: The global prevalence of Post-Acute Sequelae of SARS-CoV-2 Infection (PASC) is approximately 43%, while in the United States, around 11% of individuals who have been infected with SARSCoV-2 experience long COVID. The underlying causes of PASC are still under investigation, and there are currently no FDA-approved therapies. Naltrexone, a medication with anti-inflammatory and immunomodulatory properties, has shown potential as a therapeutic intervention for PASC, but further rigorous clinical trials are needed.

Development of a Definition of Postacute Sequelae of SARS-CoV-2 Infection

Singh, Tiffany Walker, Caitlin W. Selvaggi, Daniel Shinnick, Carolin C. M. P. Schulte, Rachel M. Atchley-Challenner, Leora Horwitz, Andrea Foulkes

Summary: This study aims to develop a definition of postacute sequelae of SARS-CoV-2 infection (PASC) using self-reported symptoms and analyze the frequencies of PASC across different cohorts, vaccination status, and number of infections. The results show that PASC is associated with various symptoms and around 10% of participants were PASC positive at 6 months after infection.

TNF-a+ CD4+ T cells dominate the SARS-CoV-2 specific T cell response in COVID-19 outpatients and are associated with durable antibodies

Kattria van der Ploeg, Adam S. Kirosingh, Diego A. M. Mori, Saborni Chakraborty, Zicheng Hu, Benjamin L. Sievers, Karen B. Jacobson, Hector Bonilla, Julie Parsonnet, Jason R. Andrews, Kathleen D. Press, Maureen C. Ty, Daniel R. Ruiz-Betancourt, Lauren de la Parte, Gene S. Tan, Catherine A. Blish, Saki Takahashi, Isabel Rodriguez-Barraquer, Bryan Greenhouse, Upinder Singh, Taia T. Wang, Prasanna Jagannathan

Summary: This study explores the dynamics of SARS-CoV-2-specific CD4(+) T cells in COVID-19 patients and their correlation with neutralizing antibodies. The results show a shift in the quality of the CD4(+) T cell response over time, with TNF-alpha-producing cells becoming predominant. Higher percentages of TNF-alpha-producing CD4(+) T cells on day 28 correlate with higher levels of neutralizing antibodies. mRNA vaccination after SARS-CoV-2 infection enhances both IFN gamma and TNF-alpha-producing CD4(+) T cells.

Summary: This study found that SARS-CoV-2 viral RNA can persist in feces for up to 7 months in individuals with mild to moderate COVID-19. Furthermore, patients with gastrointestinal symptoms are more likely to shed viral RNA in their feces.
