Conditions

Interventions

DRUG

Anakinra Prefilled Syringe

A total dose of 400mg per day (divided in 4 doses of 100 mg iv every 6 hours) for 7 days.

DRUG

Tocilizumab Prefilled Syringe

8mg/kg for a single infusion iv up to max 800 mg. If no clinical response is obtained, another dose of 8mg/kg may be administered after earliest 2 days after inclusion with the following condition: The clinical symptoms are worsened (as assessed by decreasing PaO2/FiO2 and/or need of increased ventilatory support such as NIV, HFNC or mechanical ventilation).

DRUG

Standard-of-care treatment

SOC according to local recommendations at the Karolinska University Hospital. Oxygen supplementation so to achieve SpO2\>93%.
