Summary

This study was designed to see if corticosteroids (prednisone or hydrocortisone) could help COVID-19 patients who need extra oxygen. It planned to enroll adults with confirmed COVID-19 and pneumonia, using CT scans to identify those likely to benefit. However, the trial was withdrawn before any participants were enrolled, so no results are available.
