In Brief
A Phase 3 clinical trial evaluating Ceftriaxone, Moxifloxacin or Levofloxacin, and 58 other interventions for Community-acquired Pneumonia, Influenza, COVID-19. Currently recruiting, targeting 20,000 participants across 408 sites in 29 countries.

Detailed Summary
REMAP-CAP is a randomised, embedded, multifactorial, adaptive platform trial for community-acquired pneumonia. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effect of a range of interventions to improve outcome of patients admitted to intensive care with community-acquired pneumonia. In addition, REMAP-CAP provides and adaptive research platform for evaluation of multiple treatment modalities in the event of a respiratory pandemic such as COVID-19. REMAP-COVID is a sub-platform of REMAP-CAP that evaluates treatments specific to COVID-19 in the United States of America.
