What’s inside
View ResearchDelve into the ESCAPE trial, an open-label phase II study investigating personalized immunotherapy for critically ill COVID-19 patients. Patients were treated with anakinra or tocilizumab based on immune function tests. Findings suggest anakinra provided more clinical benefit in reducing organ dysfunction, particularly for patients with macrophage activation syndrome (MAS) or complex immune dysregulation (CID) with increased aminotransferases.
