A Longitudinal Study of COVID-19 Sequelae and Immunity
NCT04411147 · View on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
Study Summary
Background: COVID-19 is a disease caused by the SARS-CoV-2 virus. It infects the respiratory tract. Some people who get COVID-19 have only mild symptoms. But for others, infection leads to pneumonia, respiratory failure, and, in some cases, death. Researchers want to learn more about any effects that may persist after people recover from COVID-19. Objective: To learn about any long-term medical problems that people who have recovered from COVID-19 might have, and whether they develop an immune response to SARS-CoV-2 that provides protection against reinfection. Eligibility: People age 18 and older who have recovered from documented COVID-19 or were in close contact with someone who had COVID-19 but did not get the infection Design: Participants will be screened over 2 visits. During visit 1, they will answer questions about any symptoms they are having and will be tested for SARS-CoV-2 infection which will involve a nasal swab sample or other FDA approved test. If the test is negative, they will proceed to the second visit, which will include: Physical examination Medical history Mental health interview (which may be recorded if the participant agrees) Chest x-ray (for recovered COVID-19 participants only) Blood and urine tests Pregnancy test (if needed) Lung function test (for recovered COVID-19 participants only) 6-minute walk test (for recovered COVID-19 participants only) Questionnaires about their general and mental health Leukapheresis to collect white blood cells (optional). Participants will be put into 1 of 2 groups: the COVID-19 group or the close contact group. Participants will have study visits every 6 months for 3 years. They will repeat some of the screening tests. Participants in the COVID-19 group may have visits more often if they develop symptoms that suggest re-infection with SARS-CoV-2.

Full Details on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗What the Registry Record Tells You About NCT04411147
The ClinicalTrials.gov registry entry for NCT04411147 describes a study currently listed as active not recruiting. It is categorized as an unspecified phase, which is the standard way researchers label where a study sits along the investigational pathway from early safety work through later efficacy and post-marketing evaluation. The registered enrollment target is 583 participants, a figure that helps gauge the scale of data the investigators plan to collect. The listed sponsor is National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID), which has 1,295 total studies on file at ClinicalTrials.gov, and sponsors are the parties responsible for study design, oversight, and regulatory filings.
The record links to 1 condition, with COVID-19 appearing as the primary indexed condition, and to 0 interventions. Interventions can include drugs, devices, procedures, behavioral programs, or observational arms, and each is tracked as a separate registry field so that downstream queries can filter accurately. When a trial lists multiple interventions, it usually reflects a multi-arm design or a comparison protocol rather than a single treatment being tested in isolation. The brief summary published in the registry is the clearest source of protocol intent and should be read before drawing conclusions from any sidebar tags.
Geographic footprint matters for practical reasons: NCT04411147 reports 1 study location spanning 1 distinct geographic area — top geographies include Maryland. A larger site network tends to correlate with broader recruitment capacity, but it does not imply anything about study quality, and site-level enrollment status can diverge from the overall registry status shown above. Every data point on this page comes from the public ClinicalTrials.gov dataset and is reproduced here for reference only; it is not a medical recommendation, an endorsement of the sponsor, or an invitation to enroll.
