Doctors in the U.S. are cautiously optimistic about clinical trial results from the University of Oxford in England that suggest that a commonly used drug may have a real, measurable impact on the COVID-19 pandemic.
The information released so far by Oxford shows this clinical trial was large, including data on 2,104 hospitalized patients who received the steroid, and 4,321 patients who did not.
It works by suppressing inflammation, and comes in pills, injections and IVs. It can cause side effects: weight gain, pancreatitis and an increased risk of infection in people who have compromised immune systems. "I've used it on a few dozen COVID-19 patients in my practice over the last two and a half months," said Dr. Hugh Cassiere, director of critical care medicine at Northwell Health's North Shore University Hospital on Long Island, New York. Cassiere firstin the intensive care unit because a previous study suggested it could help patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome get off ventilators more quickly — and reduce deaths.
