Conditions

SARS-CoV-2 Infection

Brief summary

Currently COVID-19 is an international public health emergency. Most COVID-19 patients have mild or uncomplicated disease, but approximately 14% develop severe disease that requires hospitalization and oxygen therapy, and up to 5% of patients require admission to Intensive Care Units. To date, the only treatments that have shown efficacy in a clinical trial are remdesivir and dexamethasone. The main objective is to provide reliable estimates on the effects of different treatment strategies on the outcome and mortality of patients with SARS-CoV-2 infection.

Intervention model description

Main randomization. Patients will be randomized to Emtricitabine / Tenofovir disoproxil fumarate or no treatment. Rescue randomization: patients with oxygen requirements, O2 Sat \<95% at any time, and at least one of the following inflammation markers: IL-6, CRP, D-dimer, LDH or ferritin above the upper limit of the normal range. Arms: * dexamethasone + Baricitinib * dexamethasone

Exclusion criteria

This randomization can only be done in hospitalized patients. Patients will receive one of the following arms of treatment: * Baricitinib and dexamethasone * Dexamethasone
