Baricitinib for treating hospital-acquired pneumonia in critically ill patients with a proinflammatory phenotype, an international phase II / phase III, randomized, controlled trial - the TREAT-HAP study.
EU CTIS ID: 2023-503480-42-00
What this study is testing
The primary objectives of this randomized trial are first to determine the safety (phase II), then efficacy (phase III) of baricitinib plus standard of care (SOC) as compared to SOC alone for the treatment of hospital-acquired pneumonia in patients with a pro-inflammatory profile.
