ACTT-EU/UK
Adaptive COVID-19 Treatment Trial in the EU & UK (ACTT-EU/UK) - A Multicenter, Adaptive, Randomised Blinded Controlled Trial of the Safety and Efficacy of Investigational Therapeutics for the Treatment of COVID-19 in Hospitalised Adults
Safety and treatment success of treatments for patients unwell, and hospitalised, with COVID-19.
What is this study about?
In the initial phase of this study we would like to make sure that remdesivir, a drug originally developed for the treatment of Ebola virus, is safe for use in humans with COVID-19, and see if it can improve patients’ health when they are sick and hospitalised, with COVID-19.
It is a multi arm, adaptive study so as new treatments evolve, we hope to include these as treatment randomisations within the trial.
