Abstrakt: Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). The trial population of REMDACTA trial appears similar to the RECOVERY Trial that showed benefit with tocilizumab, with one key difference: RECOVERY trial eligibility criteria included C-reactive protein (CRP) values > 75 mg/L as a marker of inflammation [[7]]. However, in the RECOVERY Trial that enrolled a similar target population, there was additional benefit with tocilizumab in those patients who got corticosteroids [[7]], a treatment effect that was replicated in critically ill patients [[15]] and in all illness severity states within the PMA [[5]].
