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. Time to recovery [ Time Frame: Up to 29 days ]

    Time to recovery, defined as attaining a score of 6, 7, or 8 on the COVID-19 disease severity scale, an 8 point ordinal scale used in the NIH Adaptive COVID-19 Treatment Trial (ACTT; NCT04280705).

    1. = Death;
    2. = Hospitalized and on invasive mechanical ventilation or extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO);
    3. = Hospitalized and on non-invasive ventilation or high-flow oxygen devices;
    4. = Hospitalized and requiring supplemental oxygen;
    5. = Hospitalized and not requiring supplemental oxygen but requiring ongoing medical care (COVID-19-related or otherwise);
    6. = Hospitalized and not requiring supplemental oxygen and no longer requiring ongoing medical care;
    7. = Not hospitalized, limitation on activities and/or requiring home oxygen;
    8. = Not hospitalized, no limitation on activities


Secondary Outcome Measures :
  1. COVID-19 disease severity scale score on Day 8 [ Time Frame: Day 8 ]
    COVID-19 disease severity scale (range; 1-8, higher scores correspond to better health state).

  2. COVID-19 disease severity scale score on Day 15 [ Time Frame: Day 15 ]
    COVID-19 disease severity scale (range; 1-8, higher scores correspond to better health state).

  3. COVID-19 disease severity scale score on Day 22 [ Time Frame: Day 22 ]
    COVID-19 disease severity scale (range; 1-8, higher scores correspond to better health state).

  4. COVID-19 disease severity scale score on Day 29 [ Time Frame: Day 29 ]
    COVID-19 disease severity scale (range; 1-8, higher scores correspond to better health state).

  5. Incidence of mortality at Day 29 [ Time Frame: 29 days ]
  6. Incidence of in-hospital mortality [ Time Frame: Up to 29 days ]
  7. Number of days alive and not on mechanical ventilator or ECMO in the 28 days following first dose [ Time Frame: Up to 29 days ]
  8. Number of patients with resolution of symptoms defined as score of 8 on the 8-point ordinal scale at Day 29 [ Time Frame: Day 29 ]
  9. Number of patients alive and free of respiratory failure defined as score of 4, 5, 6, 7, or 8 on the 8-point ordinal scale at Day 29 [ Time Frame: Day 29 ]
  10. Duration of mechanical ventilation [ Time Frame: Up to 29 days ]
    For patients requiring mechanical ventilation.

  11. Duration of ECMO [ Time Frame: Up to 29 days ]
    For patients requiring mechanical ECMO.

  12. Duration of noninvasive ventilation [ Time Frame: Up to 29 days ]
    For patients requiring non-invasive ventilation

  13. Duration of ICU stay [ Time Frame: Up to 29 days ]
    For patients admitted to ICU

  14. Duration of hospital stay [ Time Frame: Up to 29 days ]
  15. Change in oxygen saturation [ Time Frame: Between screening and 24 hours after last dose (up to 6 days) ]
