Authorised Therapeutic exploratory (Phase II) Adult patients with persistent dyspnea more than 3 months after acute COVID-19 infection.

Evaluation of the safety and efficacy of Bevacizumab in patients with persistent respiratory disorders after COVID-19 infection

EU CTIS ID: 2024-520308-24-00

What this study is testing

To assess efficacy of bevacizumab injection in long COVID patients with impaired DLCO (<75% of predicted value) within 3 months after the first bevacizumab injection. The positive criteria will be a 10% increase in DLCO at three months after the introduction of bevacizumab.
