Sotrovimab versus usual care in patients admitted to hospital with COVID-19 (RECOVERY): a randomised, controlled, open-label, platform trial

Obbina Abani, Amr E. Abbas, Fatima Abbas, Kaja Abbas et autres

BACKGROUND: Sotrovimab is a neutralising monoclonal antibody targeting the SARS-CoV-2 spike protein. We aimed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of sotrovimab in the RECOVERY trial, an investigator-initiated, individually randomised, controlled, open-label, adaptive platform trial testing treatments for patients admitted to hospital …

Exploring the influence of communication and team dynamics relating to infection care on intensive care unit patient discussions: Insights from sociograms and team reflexivity

Candice Bonaconsa, Esmita Charani, Dena van den Bergh, I Joubert et autres

BACKGROUND/INTRODUCTION: Multidisciplinary Team (MDT) collaboration in intensive care units (ICU) is complex, necessitating structured communication approaches to optimise discussions, including on infection care. Achieving consistency across teams remains a challenge. This study explores how team dynamics and communication influence patient discussions during …

Molnupiravir or nirmatrelvir–ritonavir plus usual care versus usual care alone in patients admitted to hospital with COVID-19 (RECOVERY): a randomised, controlled, open-label, platform trial

Obbina Abani, Amr E. Abbas, Fatima Abbas, Jonathan R. Abbas et autres

BACKGROUND: Molnupiravir and nirmatrelvir-ritonavir are oral antivirals that have shown efficacy in preventing disease progression in outpatients with COVID-19. We aimed to evaluate these treatments for patients hospitalised with COVID-19 pneumonia, for whom data on these antivirals are scarce. METHODS: The RECOVERY …

Higher dose corticosteroids in hospitalised COVID-19 patients requiring ventilatory support (RECOVERY): a randomised, controlled, open-label, platform trial

Obbina Abani, Amr E. Abbas, Fatima Abbas, Jaffar Abbas et autres

Background: Low dose corticosteroids (e.g., 6 mg dexamethasone) have been shown to reduce mortality for hypoxic COVID-19 patients. We have previously reported that higher dose corticosteroids cause harm in patients with clinical hypoxia but not receiving ventilatory support (the combination of non-invasive …
