Scientists Discover Drug That Could Finally End Long COVID Suffering
WEHI scientists discovered a drug that blocks long COVID in mice and may improve acute treatment options beyond current antivirals like Paxlovid.
  • WEHI researchers have developed a drug compound that protects mice from developing symptoms of long COVID.
  • This groundbreaking study also showed that the compound treats acute COVID more effectively than Paxlovid, the current leading approved treatment.
  • Researchers hope these results will pave the way for clinical trials and eventually lead to an oral treatment for long COVID.
Researchers have discovered that a new drug compound can prevent long COVID symptoms in mice, a major breakthrough that could pave the way for future treatment of this debilitating condition.

In this world-first study, mice treated with the antiviral compound, developed by a multidisciplinary team at WEHI, were protected from long-term brain and lung dysfunction, two hallmark symptoms of long COVID.
