Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Main Objective: Decrease cases of ARDS in adults requiring HFNO or either non-invasive or invasive mechanical ventilation;Secondary Objective: To reduce crude mortality at 28 days To reduce the time (in days) to clinical improvement To reduce the time (in days) until improvement in oxygenation for at least 48 hours To reduce the proportion of patients who require invasive mechanical ventilation To study the effect of the drug on the negativization of the PCR to COVID-19 To study the effect of the drug on the profile of cytokines To study the safety of the experimental drug;Primary end point(s): Proportion of patients requiring or time (in days) until required: - High flow nasal oxygenation (HFNO) - Non-invasive mechanical ventilation type BiPAP - Non-invasive mechanical ventilation type CPAP - Invasive mechanical ventilation;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: At day 28 or when the subject is discharged (whichever occurs first)

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
Secondary end point(s): a. Crude mortality at 28 days b. Time to clinical improvement: defined as the mean change or time in days from randomization to any of the following criteria: (i) improvement of two points on the ordinal scale of 7 points of severity or, (ii) hospital discharge with lifetime. The criteria reached before are used. The 7 point gravity scale includes the following categories: 1 - Not hospitalized with normal activity 2 - Not hospitalized but unable to have normal activity 3 - Hospitalized, without requiring oxygen supplementation 4 - Hospitalized, requiring oxygen supplementation 5 - Hospitalized, requiring ONAF, non-invasive mechanical ventilation or both 6 - Hospitalized requiring ECMO, invasive mechanical ventilation or both 7 - Death c. Time (in days) until improvement in oxygenation for at least 48 hours: - Time to verify an increase in the SpO2 / FiO2 ratio with respect to the worst SpO2 / FiO2 prior to treatment with Sarilumab and stratified according to levels of IL-6 or DD - Time to absence of oxygen requirement to maintain saturation in ambient air = 93% - Number of days in need of supplemental oxygen d. Proportion of patients requiring invasive mechanical ventilation e. Proportion of patients having negative COVID-19 CRP at each visit f. Mean of serum cytokine levels: the panel of cytokines to quantify; IL1-??, IL1-ß, IL6, IL8, IL10, IL12, IL18, IL38, INF?, TNF??, CCL2, CCL3, CCL4, MIF and PAI-1 g. Incidence of adverse events related to medication and its administration h. Incidence in the appearance of serious bacterial, fungal or opportunistic infections i. Incidence of perforation of the gastrointestinal tract j. Leukocyte and neutrophil count mean k. Mean hemoglobin levels l. Platelet count mean m. Average levels of creatinemia n. Average bilirubin levels o. ALT and AST average levels;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: At day 28 or when the subject is discharged (whichever occurs first)
