Summary
Emma took part in the same Berlin Cures trial of BC 007 (rovunaptabin), though the article does not specify her dose or whether she received the active drug or placebo, nor how severe or long-standing her Long COVID was. She reported that her symptoms improved somewhat, though she found the trial's survey questions hard to answer because they did not capture her post-exertional malaise experience well. The article gives no information on whether her improvement persisted, faded, or ended when the trial concluded.
