ISARIC COVID-19 evidence fora “How India is identifying best practice in the use of Corticosteroids in COVID-19” 26 November 2020 12:00 GMT | 17:30 MIST
ISARIC partners have been at the forefront of clinical trials of COVID-19 treatments since the start of the pandemic. Recognising how hard it is to keep up with the extraordinary pace of COVID science, ISARIC will run a series of ‘Evidence Fora’ on COVID-19 treatment.
These fora will take stock of the current evidence, inform, stimulate debate and generate new ideas.
- ISARIC partners and invited experts from across the world will present the ’state-of-the-art’ on:
- Corticosteroids
- Remdesivir
- COVID-19 pathophysiology and treatment options
- Anti-coagulation
- Respiratory support
Our first evidence forum will focus on corticosteroids. Whilst corticosteroids are now recommended for COVID-19 patients who require respiratory report, there are outstanding clinical questions. This webinar will review the evidence-base, identify challenges in translating this evidence to clinical practice, and outline a translational research agenda.
Speakers:
Bharath Kumar
Consultant in Critical Care, Department of Critical Care, Apollo Hospitals
Peter Horby
Executive Director, ISARIC
Jonathan Sterne
NIHR Senior Investigator, University of Bristol
Ajay Padmanaban
Consultant, Department of Critical Care Medicine, Apollo Hospital

Objectives of this forum:
- To provide up-to-date information on evidence of the effectiveness and safety of corticosteroids in COVID19.
- To identify key questions for translating the clinical trial evidence on the use of corticosteroids in COVID19 into clinical practice in India.
