RECOVERY is the world’s biggest randomised clinical trial of existing treatments that doctors think could help patients in hospital with COVID-19 to get better more quickly or become less seriously ill.
By July 2021, some 40,000 patients had been enrolled in the trial worldwide. Results so far have shown that, whilst some treatments are not effective, drugs called dexamethasone and tocilizumab save lives. In March 2021 it was estimated that the use of dexamethasone had already saved 1 million lives globally. That’s a lot of lives!
