Groups2
Neither group, or both, names a comparator, so the groups keep ClinicalTrials.gov's order.
| Group | Title | Description | With the outcome | Analysed | ClinicalTrials.gov code |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Group 1 | IV IFN Beta-1a | Patients receiving active drug: will receive two separate bolus injections one containing IFN-beta -1a and another injection containing Saline.~IFN beta-1a: Treated daily with IFN beta-1a 10 μg as an IV bolus for 6 days while hospitalised | 0 | 2 | EG000 |
| Group 2 | IV Dexamethasone | Patients receiving active comparator: will receive two separate bolus injections one containing saline and another injection containing Dexamethasone.~Dexamethasone: Treated daily with dexamethasone 6 mg as an IV bolus for 6 days while hospitalised | 2 | 3 | EG001 |

Harm
- What it counts
- Total, serious adverse events
- Time frame
Adverse events are collected from the signing of consent up to Day 28. AEs occurring after D28 were to be reported only if the Investigator considers there is a causal relationship with the study drug. All AEs up to D90, which lead to death, are reported as SAEs.
