There's many different ways to think about that. I do not know how long it takes for Leronlimab to begin working once you inject. Does anyone know this?
If you catch patients early, inject and the drug proves to keep them from becoming worse then that would be an easy patient. That patient could go home.
If you have a patient who has increasing oxygenation demands and lower oxygen saturation things can escalate quickly. They may need to be intubated.
If you have someone on the vent and you are looking to extubate then it would happen gradually, Inject Leronlimab, keep giving the patient steroids, antibiotics and HHN treatments and wait for the vent settings to tell you the patient no longer needs the ventilator.
Sorry to be so wordy, but there are so many variables. Add Sepsis, COPD, Diabetes, CAD (coronary artery disease) and renal failure to the mix and survival is less likely.
