Sirolimus in COVID-19 Phase 1

Phase 1
Withdrawn
Conditions
Covid-19
SARS-CoV-2
Interventions
Registration Number
NCT04371640
Lead Sponsor
Walter K. Kraft
Brief Summary

This is a double-blinded, two-arm, randomized, placebo controlled study comparing the virological efficacy of add-on sirolimus with standard care to placebo and standard care. Virological efficacy is defined as the change from baseline to day 7 in SARS-CoV-2 viral burden measured by quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction.
