REMED study

The national, multicentre clinical trial of REMED is carried out by the University Hospital Brno in cooperation with RI CZECRIN and as of 21 September 2021, 142 patients out of the planned 300 patients were enrolled. Patients are included in 7 centers (out of 10 initiated) – Brno University Hospital, FNUSA, Královské Vinohrady University Hospital, Plzeň University Hospital, Ostrava University Hospital, Olomouc University Hospital and Tomas Bata Regional Hospital Zlín. The initiator and coordinator of the REMED clinical trial is the Deputy Head of the Department of Anesthesiology, Resuscitation and Intensive Care, MUDr. Jan Maláska, Ph.D. from the University Hospital Brno. The primary objective of the study is to test the hypothesis that administration of dexamethasone 20 mg daily is more effective with COVID-19 compared to a daily dose of dexamethasone 6 mg in adult patients with moderate or severe ARDS.
