Standard Treatment
NO INTERVENTIONThe standard treatment includes the application of mechanical ventilation and / or support with the administration of inotropes and / or extracorporeal oxygenation (ECMO) and the intravenous administration of fluids and dexamethasone. The administration of any other immunosuppressive therapy, including tocilizumab and / or antimicrobials at the discretion of the therapists, is permitted.
One intravenous 12.5 gr STS - Treatment Group 1
EXPERIMENTALPatients will receive standard treatment and one intravenous (iv)12.5 gr STS in 60 minutes continuous intravenous infusion. STS is dissolved in a final volume of 100ml N/S 0.9% w/v,
Three intravenous doses of 12.5 gr STS - Treatment Group 2
EXPERIMENTALPatients will receive standard treatment and three intravenous doses of 12.5 g STS. STS is dissolved in a final volume of 100ml N/S 0.9% w/v. Each dose will be given in 60 minutes of continuous intravenous infusion with 48 hours intervals between each dose.
Interventions
The drug will be administered via continuous infusion after being diluted to a concentration 12.5 gr/100ml
