SARS-CoV 2, COVID19, SARS (Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome), Cytokine Release Syndrome, Cytokine Storm
Conditions
Brief summary
The administration of Calcifediol in patients with COVID-19, will reduce the development of SARS and the worsening of the various phases of the syndrome. Reducing at least 25% in ICU admission and death from the process, reducing days of hospitalization, facilitating the recovery of the same, acting significantly and positively, in any of its phases throughout the natural history of illness. As a treatment with extensive experience of clinical use, safe, inexpensive, and potentially very effective, it will have a highly efficient cost-benefit impact on the prevention of SARS.
Interventions
The subject will be treated with the best available therapy, which will include any combination of drugs included in the current protocol of the Ministry of Health and/or complementary notes issued by the Spanish Agency of Medicines and Health Products (AEMPS) plus Calcifediol caps. 266 µg. According to the pharmacokinetics of Calcifediol evaluated in an inflammatory model, the posology will be Start: 2 capsules Days 3, 7, 14, 21, 28: 1 capsule
The subject will be treated with the best available therapy, which will include any combination of drugs included in the current protocol of the Ministry of Health and/or complementary notes issued by the Spanish Agency of Medicines and Health Products (AEMPS).

| Evolution in the Sat O2/FiO2 ratio. | At day 28. | Compare the evolution in the Sat O2/FiO2 ratio |
| ICU - Time until admission | At day 28. | In patients who, in the course of their evolution, required admission with mechanical ventilation in the ICU, time until admission to Intensive Care Unit |
