Brief Summary:
A randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study to assess the efficacy and safety of pulsed inhaled iNO compared to placebo in subjects with COVID-19.
| Condition or disease | Intervention/treatment | Phase |
|---|---|---|
| COVID-19 Coronavirus Coronavirus Infection | Combination Product: INOpulse Combination Product: Placebo | Phase 3 |
This is a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study to assess the efficacy and safety of pulsed iNO compared to placebo in subjects with COVID-19 who are hospitalized and require supplemental oxygen without assisted ventilation. Subjects will be randomized to receive placebo or iNO125 mcg/kg ideal body weight (IBW)/hour 24 hours daily up to 14 days or until resolution or discharge.

Primary Outcome Measures :
- The proportion of subjects who died or had respiratory failure [ Time Frame: Through Day 28 ]
Secondary Outcome Measures :
- Clinical status using National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) 8-point ordinal scale [ Time Frame: Day 7, 14, 28 and day of discharge ]The assessment of clinical status at the first assessment of a study day. The scale is: 1) Death; 2) Hospitalized, on invasive mechanical ventilation or extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO); 3) Hospitalized, on non-invasive ventilation or high flow oxygen devices; 4) Hospitalized, requiring supplemental oxygen; 5) Hospitalized, not requiring supplemental oxygen - requiring ongoing medical care (COVID-19 related or otherwise); 6) Hospitalized, not requiring supplemental oxygen - no longer requires ongoing medical care; 7) Not hospitalized, limitation on activities and/or requiring home oxygen; 8) Not hospitalized, no limitations on activities.
- Proportion of subject to recover, defined as return to room air or baseline O2, or discharged alive [ Time Frame: Through Day 28 ]
- Proportion of subjects discharged alive from hospital [ Time Frame: Through Day 28 ]
- Duration of Hospitalization [ Time Frame: Through Day 28 ]
- Mortality - all cause and cardiopulmonary [ Time Frame: Through Day 28 ]
- Proportion of subjects with a negative conversion of reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) from a nasopharyngeal swab [ Time Frame: Through Day 28 ]
Other Outcome Measures:
- Proportion of subjects with adverse events leading to study drug discontinuation [ Time Frame: Through Day 28 ]

Criteria
Inclusion Criteria:
- Signed informed consent
- At least 18 years old
-
Subjects must be hospitalized and have the following:
- proven or high suspicion of SARS-CoV-2 infection and,
- requiring oxygen supplementation defined as:
- SpO2 ≤ 92% regardless of supplemental oxygen (ie on room air or on oxygen), or
- SpO2 ≥ 92% on supplemental O2 and in the opinion of the Investigator it is not safe to decrease or remove the supplemental oxygen
- require supplemental oxygen of no more than 10 L/minute, and
- radiologic suspected or proven COVID-19 pneumonitis (chest x-ray or CT scan)
- Female subjects must have a negative pregnancy test
- Willing and able to comply with the treatment schedule and study procedures
Exclusion Criteria:
- Participating in another clinical trial of an investigational treatment for COVID-19
- Methemoglobin > 3%
- Evidence of severe multi organ failure
- Use of assisted ventilation prior to initiation of iNO
- Pregnancy or positive pregnancy test pre-dose
- Open tracheostomy
- Chronic use of a nitric oxide donor agent such as nitroglycerin or drugs known to increase methemoglobin such as lidocaine, prilocaine, benzocaine, nitroprusside, isosorbide, or dapsone at screening
- History or clinical evidence of systolic heart failure, left ventricular dysfunction (LVEF <40%)
- Subjects reporting massive hemoptysis associated with the current illness or with radiologically proven pulmonary embolus
