"Due to the urgency of finding therapies for #PostCovid (PCS), we report here the interim results of the first ten patients with seven responders [...] at week four after #immunoadsorption. The results of this observational #study will provide the basis for patient selection for a randomised controlled trial including sham #apheresis and for a RTC combining IA with B-cell depletion therapy."
