The primary outcome was the duration of patient hospitalisation, calculated as the time interval between randomisation and hospital discharge without the need for supplementary oxygen. The key secondary outcomes were survival free from invasive ventilation with orotracheal intubation and overall survival.</jats:p></jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results</jats:title><jats:p>Overall, 112 (75.4%) out of 151 patients in the pulse methylprednisolone arm and 111 (75.2%) of 150 in the placebo arm were discharged from hospital without oxygen within 30 days from randomisation. Median time to discharge was similar in both groups (15 days, 95% CI 13.0–17.0 days and 16 days, 95% CI 13.8–18.2 days, respectively; hazard ratio (HR) 0.92, 95% CI 0.71–1.20; p=0.528). No significant differences between pulse methylprednisolone and placebo arms were observed in terms of admission to intensive care unit with orotracheal intubation or death (20.0%<jats:italic>versus</jats:italic>16.1%; HR 1.26, 95% CI 0.74–2.16; p=0.176) or overall mortality (10.0%<jats:italic>versus</jats:italic>12.2%; HR 0.83, 95% CI 0.42–1.64; p=0.584). Serious adverse events occurred with similar frequency in the two groups.</jats:p></jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusions</jats:title><jats:p>Methylprenisolone pulse therapy added to dexamethasone was not of benefit in patients with COVID-19 pneumonia.</jats:p></jats:sec>
