Martin Landray, who is Professor of Medicine and Epidemiology at Oxford University and co-chief investigator of the RECOVERY clinical trial, summed up RECOVERY in a few tweets [1]:
- 40,000 patients enrolled in the clinical trial
Treatments that benefit hospitalised patients:
- Dexamethasone: reduces mortality for patients requiring oxygen or mechanical ventilator
- Tocilizumab: reduces mortality for patients with inflammation (raised CRP - C-reactive protein) and requiring oxygen or ventilator
- Monoclonal antibody combination reduces deaths for hospitalised patients with COVID-19 who haven't produced antibodies for themselves
Treatments that have no benefit for hospitalised patients:
- Hydroxychloroqine
- Lopinavir-ritonavir
- Azithromycin
- Convalescent plasma
- Colchicine
- Aspirin
