Outcome Measures
Go to 
Top of Page Study Description Study Design Arms and Interventions Outcome Measures Eligibility Criteria Contacts and Locations More Information

Primary Outcome Measures :
  1. Clinical improvement on the Ordinal Scale for Clinical Improvement (OSCI) [ Time Frame: 14 days ]
    Clinical improvement is defined as a composite endpoint of a two-point clinical improvement on the Ordinal Scale for Clinical Improvement (OSCI). The OSCI is an ordinal scale of 9 severity levels (from 0 to 8) for COVID-19

  2. Number of participants requiring mechanical ventilation for respiratory failure [ Time Frame: 14 days ]
    Clinical improvement is defined as no mechanical ventilation for respiratory failure attributed to SARS-CoV-2 within 14 days of randomization.
