The Long COVID Treatment Trial
NCT07128082 · View on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
Study Summary
The goal of this study is to determine whether a medicine called tirzepatide, also called Zepbound, can reduce symptoms of Long COVID. A randomized control trial will allow us to measure the effect of the treatment by having half of the participants take the medication and half take a placebo that has no medication. Participants will take the medication (or placebo) they are given and complete study surveys for 12 months. All of the study tasks are done remotely from the comfort of a participants home.

Full Details on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗What the Registry Record Tells You About NCT07128082
The ClinicalTrials.gov registry entry for NCT07128082 describes a study currently listed as active not recruiting. It is categorized as Phase 2, 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 1,000 participants, a figure that helps gauge the scale of data the investigators plan to collect. The listed sponsor is Scripps Translational Science Institute, which has 51 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 Long COVID appearing as the primary indexed condition, and to 2 interventions — of which Placebo is the first listed. 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: NCT07128082 reports 1 study location spanning 1 distinct geographic area — top geographies include California. 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.
