Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Main Objective: to evaluate the safety and efficacy of the tocilizumab (Roactemra®) in hospitalized adults diagnosed with COVID-19.;Secondary Objective: Not applicable;Primary end point(s): Clinical status assessed using a 7-category ordinal scale at Day 28;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: end of study
