    Abstract: SARS-CoV-2 infection is associated with persistent, relapsing, or new symptoms or other health effects occurring after acute infection, termed postacute sequelae of SARS-CoV-2 infection (PASC), also known as long COVID . Characterizing PASC requires analysis of prospectively and uniformly collected data from diverse uninfected and infected individuals. Objective To develop a definition of PASC using self-reported symptoms and describe PASC frequencies across cohorts, vaccination status, and number of infections. Design, Setting, and Participants Prospective observational cohort study of adults with and without SARS-CoV-2 infection at 85 enrolling sites (hospitals, health centers, community organizations) located in 33 states plus Washington, DC, and Puerto Rico. Participants who were enrolled in the RECOVER adult cohort before April 10, 2023, completed a symptom survey 6 months or more after acute symptom onset or test date. Selection included population-based, volunteer, and convenience sampling. Exposure SARS-CoV-2 infection. Main Outcomes and Measures PASC and 44 participant-reported symptoms (with severity thresholds). Results A total of 9764 participants (89% SARS-CoV-2 infected; 71% female; 16% Hispanic/Latino; 15% non-Hispanic Black; median age, 47 years [IQR, 35-60]) met selection criteria. Adjusted odds ratios were 1.5 or greater (infected vs uninfected participants) for 37 symptoms. Symptoms contributing to PASC score included postexertional malaise, fatigue, brain fog, dizziness, gastrointestinal symptoms, palpitations, changes in sexual desire or capacity, loss of or change in smell or taste, thirst, chronic cough, chest pain, and abnormal movements. Among 2231 participants first infected on or after December 1, 2021, and enrolled within 30 days of infection, 224 (10% [95% CI, 8.8%-11%] ) were PASC positive at 6 months. Conclusions and Relevance A definition of PASC was developed based on symptoms in a prospective cohort study. As a first step to providing a framework for other investigations, iterative refinement that further incorporates other clinical features is needed to support actionable definitions of PASC.

    Abstract: Platelet activation is a potential therapeutic target in patients with COVID-19. Objective To evaluate the effect of P2Y12 inhibition among critically ill patients hospitalized for COVID-19. Design, Setting, and Participants This international, open-label, adaptive platform, 1:1 randomized clinical trial included critically ill (requiring intensive care–level support) patients hospitalized with COVID-19. Patients were enrolled between February 26, 2021, through June 22, 2022. Enrollment was discontinued on June 22, 2022, by the trial leadership in coordination with the study sponsor given a marked slowing of the enrollment rate of critically ill patients. Intervention Participants were randomly assigned to receive a P2Y12 inhibitor or no P2Y12 inhibitor (usual care) for 14 days or until hospital discharge, whichever was sooner. Ticagrelor was the preferred P2Y12 inhibitor. Main Outcomes and Measures The primary outcome was organ support–free days, evaluated on an ordinal scale that combined in-hospital death and, for participants who survived to hospital discharge, the number of days free of cardiovascular or respiratory organ support up to day 21 of the index hospitalization. The primary safety outcome was major bleeding, as defined by the International Society on Thrombosis and Hemostasis. Results At the time of trial termination, 949 participants (median [IQR] age, 56 [46-65] years; 603 male [63.5%]) had been randomly assigned, 479 to the P2Y12 inhibitor group and 470 to usual care. In the P2Y12 inhibitor group, ticagrelor was used in 372 participants (78.8%) and clopidogrel in 100 participants (21.2%). The estimated adjusted odds ratio (AOR) for the effect of P2Y12 inhibitor on organ support–free days was 1.07 (95% credible interval, 0.85-1.33). The posterior probability of superiority (defined as an OR  & amp;gt; 1.0) was 72.9%. Overall, 354 participants (74.5%) in the P2Y12 inhibitor group and 339 participants (72.4%) in the usual care group survived to hospital discharge (median AOR, 1.15; 95% credible interval, 0.84-1.55; posterior probability of superiority, 80.8%). Major bleeding occurred in 13 participants (2.7%) in the P2Y12 inhibitor group and 13 (2.8%) in the usual care group. The estimated mortality rate at 90 days for the P2Y12 inhibitor group was 25.5% and for the usual care group was 27.0% (adjusted hazard ratio, 0.96; 95% CI, 0.76-1.23; P  = .77). Conclusions and Relevance In this randomized clinical trial of critically ill participants hospitalized for COVID-19, treatment with a P2Y12 inhibitor did not improve the number of days alive and free of cardiovascular or respiratory organ support. The use of the P2Y12 inhibitor did not increase major bleeding compared with usual care. These data do not support routine use of a P2Y12 inhibitor in critically ill patients hospitalized for COVID-19. Trial Registration ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier: NCT04505774

    Abstract: Aflibercept, 8 mg, may have greater therapeutic benefits compared with aflibercept, 2 mg, in patients with neovascular age-related macular degeneration (nAMD), including potentially improved outcomes and decreased treatment burden. Objective To assess safety and efficacy of aflibercept, 8 mg, in patients with nAMD. Design, Setting, and Participants The CANDELA trial was a phase 2, randomized, single-masked, open-label, 44-week clinical trial conducted in the US. Treatment-naive patients with active subfoveal choroidal neovascularization secondary to nAMD and a best-corrected visual acuity score of 78 to 24 letters (approximately 20/32 to 20/320) in the study eye were enrolled between November 2019 and November 2021. Interventions Eligible participants were randomized 1:1 to receive 3 monthly doses of 8 mg (70 μL) or 2 mg (50 μL) of aflibercept followed by doses at weeks 20 and 32. Main Outcomes and Measures Coprimary end points were the proportion of eyes without fluid (absence of intraretinal and subretinal fluid) in the central subfield at week 16 and safety. Results All 106 eligible eyes were randomized to receive aflibercept, 8 mg (n = 53), or aflibercept, 2 mg (n = 53). Overall, 66 participants (62.3%) were female. The proportion of eyes without fluid in the central subfield with 8-mg vs 2-mg aflibercept was 50.9% (n = 27) vs 34.0% (n = 18) (difference, 17.0 [95% CI, –1.6 to 35.5] percentage points; P  = .08) at week 16 and 39.6% (n = 21) vs 28.3% (n = 15) (difference, 11.3 [95% CI, –6.6 to 29.2] percentage points; nominal P  = .22) at week 44. At week 44, mean (SE) change in central retinal thickness was –159.4 (16.4) vs –137.2 (22.8) μm with 8 mg vs 2 mg of aflibercept, respectively (least squares mean difference, –9.5 [95% CI, –51.4 to 32.4]; nominal P  = .65) and mean (SE) change in best-corrected visual acuity score was +7.9 (1.5) vs +5.1 (1.5) letters (least squares mean difference, +2.8 [95% CI, –1.4 to +7.0]; nominal P  = .20). No differences in safety profiles between the groups were observed. Conclusions and Relevance Although aflibercept, 8 mg, did not achieve the primary efficacy end point at week 16 at the 2-sided significance level of 5%, the observed trends in anatomic and visual improvements over 44 weeks with aflibercept, 8 mg, indicate potential additional therapeutic benefit over aflibercept, 2 mg. No new safety signals were observed over 44 weeks. These findings support further evaluation of aflibercept, 8 mg, in pivotal trials of exudative retinal diseases including nAMD and diabetic macular edema.
