RECOVER-ENERGIZE Platform Protocol
RECOVER-ENERGIZE: A Platform Protocol for Evaluation of Interventions for Exercise Intolerance in Post-Acute Sequelae of SARS-CoV-2 Infection (PASC)
Source: ClinicalTrials.gov · Last updated 14 Nov 2025
Brief summary (registry, in English)
This is a platform protocol designed to be flexible so that it is suitable for a range of interventions and settings within diverse health care systems and community settings with incorporation into clinical COVID-19 management programs and treatment plans if results achieve key study outcomes. This protocol is a prospective, multi-center, multi-arm, randomized, controlled platform trial evaluating interventions to address and improve exercise intolerance and post-exertional malaise (PEM) as manifestations of Post-Acute Sequelae of SARS-CoV-2 Infection (PASC). The focus of this protocol is to assess interventions that can improve exercise capacity, daily activities tolerance, and quality of life in patients with PASC.

- Confirmed case of SARS-CoV-2 infection - Two options, A and B:
- A person with a positive nucleic acid amplification test, regardless of clinical criteria OR epidemiological criteria; or B. Meeting clinical criteria AND/OR epidemiological criteria (See suspected case A above for criteria). With a positive professional use or self-test SARS- CoV-2 Antigen-Rapid Diagnostic Test.
