Effect of Dexamethasone in Patients With ARDS and COVID-19 - Prospective, Multi-centre, Open-label, Parallel-group, Randomized Controlled Trial (REMED Trial)
In Brief
A Phase 4 clinical trial evaluating Dexamethasone for Covid19 and ARDS. Completed, enrolled 235 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
REMED is a prospective, phase II, open-label, randomised controlled trial testing superiority of dexamethasone 20 mg vs 6 mg. The trial aims to be pragmatic, i.e. designed to evaluate the effectiveness of the intervention in conditions that are close to real-life routine clinical practice. The study is multi-centre and will be conducted in the intensive care units (ICUs) of ten university hospitals in the Czech Republic. This is an open-label trial in which the participants and the study staff will be aware of the allocated intervention. Blinded pre-planned statistical analysis will be performed.
