Brief Summary

We conducted a randomized clinical trial to determine the efficacy and safety of inhaled ciclesonide for COVID-19. In patients with mild COVID-19 disease, pneumonia on CT did not improve but rather worsened in the inhaled ciclesonide group compared to symptomatic treatment group. Safety was not different in the two groups, and there were no serious adverse events.
