Trial Outcomes & Findings for Etoposide in Patients With COVID-19 Infection (NCT NCT04356690)

NCT ID: NCT04356690

Last Updated: 2023-06-15

Results Overview

8-Point Ordinal Scale of Respiratory Function: 8 -Death; 7 -Ventilation in addition to extracorporeal membrane oxygen (ECMO), continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT), or need for vasopressors (dopamine ≥5 μg/kg/min OR epinephrine ≥0.1 μg/kg/min OR norepinephrine ≥0.1 μg/kg/min) 6 -Intubation and mechanical ventilation 5 -Non-invasive mechanical ventilation (NIV) or high-flow oxygen 4 -Hospitalized, requiring oxygen by mask or nasal prongs 3 -Hospitalization without oxygen supplementation 2-Discharged from hospital either to home with supplemental oxygen OR to inpatient rehabilitation/skilled nursing facility(+/-supplemental oxygen); 1 -Discharged to home without supplemental oxygen
