- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Main Objective: Principal Objective: Reduce number of patients with fatal outcome.;Secondary Objective: Secondary Objectives:<br>- Assessment of the effect of treatment on inflammatory parameters, in particular IL-6<br>- Assesment of time to change in the scale of severity, WHO scale.;Primary end point(s): GLOBAL SURVIVAL RATE iT IS ACCOUNTED FOR THE MORTALITY RELATED TO THE INFECTIOUS AND IMMUNOLOGICAL COURSE PROVOKED BY SARS-COV2.;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: FIRST TO OCCUR, DISCHARGE OR DEATH WITHIN 30 DAYS FOROM SCREENING
- Secondary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Secondary end point(s): IL-6 LEVELS VARIATION AS A SURROGATE MARKER OF INFLAMMATION PROMOTION. WE THINK THAT THE INCREASED PRODUCTION OF IL-6 MAY NOT BE OVERCOME BY TOCILIZUMAB ALONE<br>VARIATIONS IN CRP, LDH AND FERRITIN . DIMER -D CHANGES.<br>TIME TO GET TO ICU <br>TIME TO DISCHARGE FROM ICU<br>TIME TO GET RID FRO OXYGEN THERAPY.;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: IL-6 LEVELS DAY 1ST AND 6TH<br>AS DEFINED BY DAY OF OCCURRENCE
