First patient enrolled in our Pediatric Long COVID study! 🥳.
Does your child suffer from #LongCovid?. We are studying to see if larazotide improves symptoms in children 7-21 years old. The study involves 2-3 in-person visits to MGH in Boston, plus 4 virtual visits over 8 weeks. Contact ssossi@mgh.Harvard.edu. #LongCovidKids
