Summary
The aim of this study is to accelerate the implementation of treatments to reduce the burden of morbidity and mortality due to severe respiratory disease in people with COVID-19. Who is it for? You may be eligible to join this study if you have a confirmed diagnosis of COVID-19, are aged 18 years or more, and do not have clinical features of severe respiratory disease or require inpatient care. Study details Participants in this study will be randomly allocated (by chance) to a treatment group. Treatments will be added during the course of the trial and will only commence once necessary approvals have been obtained. All participants will be monitored for various events, such as hospital admission, ICU admission, mechanical ventilation, fever, symptoms and adverse events. It is hoped that this study will accelerate the acquisition of evidence about the effectiveness and safety of proposed new treatments, ensure patients with COVID-19 receive the optimal treatment for their condition based on the best current evidence at the time they are being treated, and ensure rapid implementation of new treatments

Interventions
Bayesian adaptive randomisation and analysis methodology will accelerate the acquisition of evidence about the effectiveness and safety of proposed new treatments ensure rapid implementation of new treatments. Study treatments or interventions will be added to the trial as a protocol treatment appendix after identification by study investigators and then recommendation by the BEAT COVID-19 Candidate Intervention Expert Committee based on safety, biological plausibility and/or efficacy data. Treatments currently include Ciclesonide. The Ciclesonide domain includes inhaled ciclesonide 320mcg daily for 14 days compared to placebo. Adherence to the intervention will be monitored via a daily participant diary for 28 days post randomisation and follow up calls from the study team. The treatment or intervention will commence once all necessary approvals are obtained.
