Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Investigate all-cause mortality at 28 days in the Naproxeno group compared to the placebo group,

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
Investigate epidemiology, types of SARS-causing viruses, and outcomes during the COVID-19 pandemic;;Investigate the proportion of patients who progress to mechanical ventilatory support in the Naproxen group compared to the placebo group;;Evaluate the proportion of patients not hospitalized on day 28 in the Naproxen group compared to the placebo group;;Investigate the time to improvement of the respiratory condition (time in hours requiring supplemental oxygen or mechanical ventilation) in the Naproxen group compared to the placebo group;;Investigate evolution with organ dysfunctions assessed by the SOFA score by comparing the Naproxen and placebo groups;;Investigate the incidence and duration of treatments in the Naproxen group compared to the placebo group;;Investigate percentage of SARS-Cov-2 detection in oropharyngeal swab samples on day 5 after treatment;;Investigate the safety and tolerability of Naproxen.
