5. Study Description

Brief Summary
unicenter, randomized, open-label clinical trial on the efficacy of tocilizumab in modifying the inflammatory parameters of patients with COVID-19.
Detailed Description
National, unicenter, randomized, open-label, controlled phase II clinical trial with a drug marketed and administered under conditions of use other than those approved. The study is designed to evaluate the effect of adding Tocilizumab to standard or standard of care for patients infected with COVID-19 and diagnosed with mild-moderate pneumonia. 78 patients are expected to be included in the study in a single center in Spain. The study includes a selection and randomization period, and a 28-day follow-up period (or until death, or premature withdrawal, whichever is earlier). Once the patients complete the study, they will continue with their usual follow-up.
