Clinical Trial Summary

In this multi-center, randomized, control study, the investigators will evaluate the efficacy and safety of glucocorticoid in combination with standard care for COVID-19 patents with Severe acute respiratory failure.


Clinical Trial Description

COVID-19 is a novel coronavirus that was initially outbreak in Wuhan, China. Severe acute respiratory infection with COVID-19 causes severe acute respiratory failure with substantial mortality. Currently, the standard care is supportive care, and no treatment is proven to be effective for this condition.

Glucocorticoid therapy is widely used among critically ill patients with other coronavirus infection such as SARS (severe acute respiratory syndrome) and MERS (Middle East respiratory syndrome). However, whether glucocorticoid improved the outcome of COVID-19 remains unknown. We hypothesized that glucocorticoid would improve the prognosis of patietns with COVID-19.

In this study, critically ill patients with COVID-19 were enrolled and randomized to receive ether standard care or standard care in combination with methylprednisolone therapy. The primary outcome is the difference of Murray lung injury score between two groups. ;
