Study Overview

Brief Summary

Investigational medications adjunct to clinical standard of care treatment will be assessed to evaluate safety and effectiveness as an anti-COVID-19 treatment. All hospitalized persons with moderate to severe COVID-19 disease that meet eligibility criteria will be offered participation.

Inclusion Criteria

  • 18 years or older
  • Moderate to severe COVID-19 associated disease as defined by the WHO
  • Willing and able to provide informed consent prior to performing study procedures
  • Has laboratory-confirmed SARS-CoV-2 infection as determined by PCR, or other commercial or public health assay
  • Illness of any duration, and at least one of the following: Radiographic infiltrates by imaging (chest x-ray, CT scan, etc.), or Clinical assessment (evidence of rales/crackles on exam) AND SpO2 ≤ 94% on room air, or Require mechanical ventilation and/or supplemental oxygen.
  • Normal potassium, magnesium, and calcium levels pre-therapy when used in agents at risk of QT prolongation
  • Patients will be further distinguished based on their disease severity into one of two categories:
  • Moderate and severe, not critical disease: patients with SpO2 ≤ 94% on room air, and those who require supplemental oxygen
  • Severe, critical disease: patients with critical illness requiring ICU-level care including requiring mechanical ventilation or ECMO, and/or end organ dysfunction as seen in sepsis/septic shock.

  • People with a clinical history of invasive or active fungal infection
  • People with a clinical history of active CMV disease in the last year
  • Patients who are pregnant or breastfeeding
  • Stage 4 severe chronic kidney disease or requiring dialysis (i.e. eGFR <15)
  • Tocilizumab:
  • Known hypersensitivity to tocilizumab or any of its components
  • Prior untreated latent tuberculosis
  • Any individuals with TB risk factors will not be enrolled in the tocilizumab arm of the study.
  • Presence of active viral hepatitis C or B
  • People with a clinical history of invasive or active fungal infection
  • People with a clinical history of active CMV disease in the last year
