Brief summary
Reproduced verbatim from the official ClinicalTrials.gov record. Not medical advice.
Emerging data show that SARS-CoV-2 infection causes gut microbiome changes strongly associated with Post-Acute Sequelae of SARS-CoV-2 (PASC). The investigators and others have established that an orally ingested probiotic (Lactobacillus plantarum 299v, Lp299v) reduces circulating levels of cell-free mitochondrial DNA (cf-mtDNA), decreases toll-like receptor 9 (TLR9) activation \[and downstream interleukin (IL-6)\], and improves micro- and macrovascular (brachial artery) endothelial dysfunction \[as measured by flow-mediated dilation (FMD%)\] in humans. Recently published data also report impaired brachial FMD% and increased vascular stiffness post-SARS-CoV-2 infection. Based on these data, the investigators hypothesize that supplementation with Lp299v will attenuate SARS-CoV-2 associated endothelial dysfunction by reducing cf-mtDNA, TLR9 activation, and inflammation.
