Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
The overall objective of the study is to evaluate the efficacy of adding acalabrutinib to BSC for the treatment of COVID-19. For the purpose of this study, respiratory failure, is defined based on resource utilization of any of the following modalities: (a) Endotracheal intubation and mechanical ventilation (b) Oxygen delivered by high-flow nasal cannula (c) Non-invasive positive pressure ventilation or continuous positive airway pressure (d) Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation Timepoint: Proportion of subjects alive and free of respiratory failure at Day 14
