It appears interesting to use nivolumab in severe patients infected with SARS-CoV-2 requiring hospitalization in conventional unit or in ICU.
This protocol CORIMUNO19-NIVO therefore, will evaluate the efficacy and safety of OPTIVO® (nivolumab) COVID-19 patients hospitalized in conventional unit.
The purpose of this study is to show the efficacy of nivolumab in patients with COVID-19 in combination with standard treatments.
A phase 2 randomized open trial will evaluate the efficacy and safety of optivo® (nivolumab) alone versus standard of care (SoC) in patients hospitalized in conventional units.
Patients will be randomly allocated 1:1 to either nivolumab or SoC.
