This study is being conducted in two parts, A and B. Part A is a randomized, double-blind, parallel arm study to evaluate the safety and efficacy of LYT-100 compared to placebo in adults with post-acute COVID-19 respiratory complications. Part B is an Open Label Extension (OLE) study for patients who complete Part A.
Part A of this study is a randomized, double-blind, parallel arm study being conducted at approximately 35 centers globally to evaluate the safety and efficacy of LYT-100 compared to placebo in 168 adults with post-acute COVID-19 respiratory complications who were treated with mechanical ventilation, extracorporeal membrane oxygenation, non-invasive ventilation (eg CPAP or BiPAP), high-flow nasal oxygen therapy or any other means of oxygen administration in the hospital for at least 1 day and have required only low flow nasal oxygen or no oxygen supplementation for at least 72 hours prior to screening. LYT-100 or placebo will be taken daily for up to 91 days with the primary outcome of change in distance walked on the six-minute walk test performed in line with the American Thoracic Society Respiratory Society Guidelines assessed at Day 91. Secondary endpoints, including pharmacokinetics, inflammatory biomarkers, imaging, and patient-reported outcomes of dyspnea and the 36-Item Short Form Health Survey will also be evaluated. The second part of the study, Part B, is an open-label extension in which eligible patients who completed Part A will be enrolled and treated with open-label LYT-100 for an additional 91 days. The primary endpoint for Part B of the study is to assess the longer-term safety, tolerability, and efficacy of LYT-100 through up to 182 days of treatment.

Change in distance walked on the six-minute walk test (6MWT)
The 6MWT is a validated endpoint commonly used in clinical trial research
Time frame: Baseline to Day 91
Change in Dyspnoea-12 score
Dyspnoea-12 measures "breathlessness severity" without reference to current activity and was developed for use in interstitial lung disease and COPD current experience ("these days.") The tool generates a total score using 12 descriptor items including seven physical and five affective items with response options none (0), mild (1), moderate (2) or severe (3). The total score ranges from 1 to 36 whereby the higher score correlates with greater breathlessness severity.
Time frame: Baseline to Day 91
Change in Saint George Respiratory Questionnaire-I (SGRQ-I) score
Saint George Respiratory Questionnaire-I (SGRQ-I) is an idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis disease-specific instrument designed to measure impact on overall health, daily life, and perceived well-being in patients with interstitial lung disease. There are 34 self-completed items with 3 domain component scores (Symptoms, Activities, and Impacts), with higher scores indicating more limitations.
Time frame: Baseline to Day 91
Change in Modified Borg Dyspnoea Scale (mBDS) score
The mBDS is an assessment tool that analyzes breathlessness under exertion. It starts at number 0 where breathing is causing no difficulty at all and progresses through to number 10 where breathing difficulty is maximal.
Time frame: Baseline to Day 91
Quality of Life assessment as collected using the SF-36
The SF-36 (v2) is a self-administered questionnaire containing 36 items that measures functional status, well-being and overall evaluation of health in 8 domains.
Time frame: Baseline to Day 91
