Trial Overview
Purpose
In our center up to 25% of the hospitalized patients with COVID-19 progress and need an intensive care unit. It is urgent to find measures that can avoid this progression to severe stages of the disease. We hypothesize that the use of anti-inflammatory drugs used at the time they start hyperinflammation episodes could improve symptoms and prognosis of patients and prevent their progression sufficiently to avoid their need for be admitted to an Intensive Care Unit.

Patient Inclusion Criteria
1. Age ≥ 18 years old. 2. Hospitalized patient (or documentation of a hospitalization plan if the patient is in an emergency department) with illness of more than 5 days of duration with evidence of pneumonia by chest radiography / tomography computed chest and meets at least one of the following requirements: 1. Non-critical patient with pneumonia in radiological progression and / or 2. Patient with progressive respiratory failure 3. Laboratory confirmed SARS-CoV-2 infection (by PCR) or other commercialized analysis or public health in any sample collected 4 days before the randomization or COVID-19 criteria following the defined diagnostic criteria at that time in the center. 4.

Patients who have received previous treatment with IL6 inhibitor (tocilizumab, sarilumab). 8. Participants who, at the investigator's discretion, are not eligible to participate, regardless of the reason, including medical or clinical conditions, or participants potentially at risk of not following study procedures. 9. Patients who do not have entry criteria in the Intensive Care Unit. 10. Pregnancy or lactation. 11.
