Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Main Objective: Evaluate the therapeutic efficacy of anakinra or tocilizumab alone or in combination with ruxolitinib in severe (2b and 3) forms of COVID-19. The primary outcome criteria is ventilation free days at D28 (VFD28). ;Secondary Objective: Evaluate the therapeutic efficacy of anakinra or tocilizumab alone or in combination with ruxolitinib in severe (2b and 3) forms of COVID-19 on: Number of patients admitted in ICU (for stage 2b) Number of days in ICU (for stage 3) Death at D28 for all patients Number of days in hospital Time to oxygenation weaning Visceral insufficiency improvement (SOFA score) Number of days without fever at D7 (without antipyretics for 48h) No increase in the number of bacteriamia or fungemia Time to improvement of biological inflammatory markers (C reactive protein, fibrinogen, ferritinemia) Time to improvement of biological markers (blood cells counts, creatininemia, transaminases, LDH, gGT, coagulation tests) Improvement of blood cytokine concentrations and NLRP3 constituents Blood concentrations of tocilizumab and search for acquired circulating anti-tocilizumab inhibitory antibodies Lung tomodensitometry and lung ventilation capacity evaluation at D90 after hospitalization exit ;Primary end point(s): ventilation free days at D28 (VFD28) (an increase of 5 days VFD28 is expected);Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: 28 days

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
Secondary end point(s): -Number of patients admitted in ICU (for stage 2b) -Number of days in ICU (for stage 3) -Death at D28 for all patients -Number of days in hospital -Visceral insufficiency improvement (SOFA score) -Number of days without fever at D7 (without antipyretics for 48h) -No increase in the number of bacterial or fungal sepsis -Biological parameters -Immunological parameters -Lung tomodensitometry and ventilation capacity ;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: 12 months
