RECOVER: Trial to Promote Recovery From COVID-19 With Endocrine Therapy
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
Patients with COVID-19 requiring inpatient hospitalization will be randomized to treatment with standard of care or standard of care + bicalutamide. This will be a randomized, open-label study to determine if bicalutamide improves the rate of clinical improvement in patients with COVID-19.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- Percentage of participants who have clinical improvement at day 7 after randomization [up to 7 days]
Percentage of participants who are discharged from the hospital or if they have had at least a 2-point improvement on the World Health Organization (WHO) Ordinal Scale for Clinical Improvement. The WHO clinical improvement scale has a score range of 0-8 where, 0= uninfected, 1= ambulatory with no limitation of activities; 2= ambulatory with limitations to activities; 3= hospitalized, mild disease, with no oxygen therapy; 4= hospitalized, mild disease, with oxygen by mask or nasal prongs; 5= hospitalized, severe disease, with non-invasive ventilation or high-flow oxygen; 6= hospitalized, severe disease, with intubation and mechanical ventilation; 7= hospitalized, severe disease, with ventilation and additional organ support (pressors, dialysis, ECMO); 8= death
Secondary Outcome Measures
- All-cause mortality [28 days]
Number of participants deceased for any cause
- Duration of hospitalization [up to 60 days]
Number of calendar days in the hospital
- Percentage of patients needing upgrade to the intermediate care unit (IMC) [up to 60 days]
- Duration of IMC stay [up to 60 days]
Number of calendar days in IMC
- Percentage of patients needing upgrade to the intensive care unit (ICU) [up to 60 days]
- Duration of ICU stay [up to 60 days]
Number of calendar days in ICU
- Number of participants requiring mechanical ventilation [up to 60 days]
- Duration of mechanical ventilation [up to 60 days]
Number of calendar days requiring mechanical ventilation
- Number of participants experiencing adverse events [up to 60 days]
Number of participants who are COVID-19 positive, experiencing adverse events as defined by the National Cancer Institute's Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) version 5.0
