Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Time to reach clinical stability

    Assess the days until clinical stability is achieved after initiating randomization in hospitalized patients with elevated inflammatory parameters and severe COVID-19 lung injury. Clinical stability is defined if all the following criteria are met for 48 consecutive hours: Body temperature ≤ 37.0ºC; PaO2 / FiO2\> 400 and / or SatO2 / FiO2\> 300; Respiratory rate ≤ 24 rpm

    28 days

Secondary Outcomes (14)

  • Time to reach an afebrile state for 48 hours.

    56 days

  • Time to reach PaO2 / FiO2> 400 and / or SatO2 / FiO2> 300

    56 days

  • Time to reach FR ≤ 24 rpm for 48 hours

    56 days

  • Time to normalization of D-dimer (<250 ug / L)

    56 days

  • Time until PCR normalization (<5mg / L).

    56 days

  • +9 more secondary outcomes

Study Arms (2)

Intervention

EXPERIMENTAL

Methylprednisolone pulses 120mg/day for 3 consecutive days (if they were not previously administered) with Tacrolimus at the necessary dose to achieve plasma levels of 8-10 ng/ml. In addition, these patients can receive all the treatments considered necessary for their clinical management.

Drug: TacrolimusDrug: Methylprednisolone

Usual care

NO INTERVENTION

These patients can receive all the treatments considered necessary for their clinical management, except cyclosporine and tacrolimus.

Interventions

the necessary dose to obtain blood levels of 8-10 ng / ml

Also known as: Advagraf®, Modigraf®
Intervention

120mg of methylprednisolone daily for 3 consecutive days

Also known as: Urbason®, Solu-Moderín®
