Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Main Objective: Assess whether treatment with melatonin i.v. reduces mortality;Secondary Objective: Assess whether melatonin treatment i.v .: - reduces the duration of admission to the ICU - reduces the duration of mechanical ventilation (VM). - It is associated with an increase in VM free days. - is associated with a reduction in the number of vital organ failures, according to the SOFA scale. -is associated with a reduction in frequency and severity of thromboembolic processes caused by COVID-19. - it is associated with a reduction in the systemic inflammatory response, defined by the levels of ferritin, D-dimer, C-reactive protein (PCR) or procalcitonin (PCT) and IL-6. - is associated with improvement of hematological, biochemical, gasometric parameters. Describe the events and adverse reactions that occurred during the study.;Primary end point(s): Mortality in each treatment group, in frequencies and in time until the event.;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: Mortality in each treatment group, in frequencies and in time until the event.

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
Secondary end point(s): ICU admission time, time with mechanical ventilation and modification of the patient's state of severity with respect to baseline values;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: ICU admission time, time with mechanical ventilation and modification of the patient's state of severity with respect to baseline values
