Trial Outcomes & Findings for Sirolimus Treatment in Hospitalized Patients With COVID-19 Pneumonia (NCT NCT04341675)

NCT ID: NCT04341675

Last Updated: 2024-04-05

Results Overview

Death or progression to respiratory failure requiring advanced support measures, either due to inadequate ventilation (non-invasive or invasive mechanical ventilation) or inadequate oxygenation (CPAP\* or high flow supplemental oxygen at rates ≥ 15 liters/minute), in patients given sirolimus compared to the placebo group. \* CPAP use for known obstructive sleep apnea will not be considered as disease progression.
