The UK’s Long COVID Triple Treatment Trial (Not Surprisingly) Bombs

Finally, another blog! The UK's big shot at uncovering treatments for long COVID failed dismally, as all three drugs/drug combos failed. This extends a rather unsettling streak of at least a dozen large long COVID treatment trials that have gone belly up. A closer look at the UK trial left one asking, however, if it ever really had much chance of succeeding. Similarly, an overview of the large long COVID trials done so far, makes one wonder if we could have ever expected much from them. The good news is that the long COVID field is learning, and the newer trials feature better options, are more targeted, more interested in uncovering subsets and in exploring mechanisms. In short, we can expect more of them. Check it out https://www.healthrising.org/blog/2026/07/23/uk-triple-treatment-long-covid-trial/
