The goal of this clinical study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of Longidaza®,lyophilisate for preparation of solution for injection, at a dose of 3000 IU compared toplacebo in the treatment of adult patients with residual changes in the lungs afterCOVID-19 infection
The main objective of the clinical study was to prove the superiority of the efficacy of
the drug Longidaza® over placebo when used in adult patients with residual changes in the
lungs after COVID-19 infection based on the dynamics of respiratory function
Drug: Longidaza®
dose 3000 IU intramuscularly once every 5 days, 15 injections
Other Name: Bovhyaluronidase azoximer
Drug: Placebo
intramuscularly once every 5 days, 15 injections

months before screening (ICD-10: U07.1, U07.2), including accompanied by
hospitalization of the patient.
3. The presence of a negative result of the polymerase chain reaction test (PCR) during
screening and an express test for the SARS-CoV-2 antigen at visit 2.
4. The presence of respiratory symptoms (at least dyspnea), while the severity of
dyspnea on the mMRC during screening is ≥ 1 point.
5. The value of hemoglobin oxygen saturation: SpO2 < 95% at rest at the screening;
and/or desaturation (decrease of SpO2 by ≥ 4% in the 6MWT relative to the value at
rest) at the screening.
6. The presence of residual changes in the lung parenchyma characteristic of previous
COVID-19 infection, > 10% of the area, according to CT at the screening

FVC > 70%.
Exclusion Criteria:
1. A history of chronic respiratory diseases (interstitial lung disease, chronic
obstructive pulmonary disease, bronchial asthma, bronchiectasis, lung cancer).
2. Clinical signs or anamnesis data on the presence of diseases that, according to the
researcher, can lead to restrictive changes in respiratory function (pronounced
kyphoscoliosis, pleural effusion, neuromuscular diseases), pathological obesity,
etc.
3. Clinical signs or anamnesis data on the presence of unstable angina pectoris, stable
angina pectoris of high functional class, clinically significant cardiac
arrhythmias, chronic heart failure, pulmonary hypertension, suffered pulmonary
embolism or acute myocardial infarction in within 6 months prior to screening.

g/l), pathological obesity (BMI ≥ 40 kg/m2), metabolic acidosis, neuromuscular
diseases according to anamnesis or screening examination.
5. The presence of an acute infectious process of any etiology and localization.
6. Allergic reactions to the administration of azoximer bovhyaluronidase or an
auxiliary component of the studied drug (mannitol) in the anamnesis.
7. Clinical signs of pulmonary hemorrhage and/or hemoptysis during examination and in
the anamnesis.
8. Confirmed eye injuries with vitreous hemorrhage during the last 6 months according
to the medical history.
9. Malignant neoplasms of any localization in the anamnesis, with the exception of in
situ carcinoma, which required only surgical treatment.
