- Cohort 1: Proportion of Participants Alive and Free of Mechanical Ventilation at Day 29 [ Time Frame: Day 29 ]Mechanical ventilation is defined as invasive mechanical ventilation (IMV) or extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO).
- Cohort 2: Mortality Rate at Day 29 [ Time Frame: Day 29 ]Mortality rate is defined as the proportion of participants who have died by Day 29.
- Cohort 1: Time to 2-point clinical Improvement by Day 29 [ Time Frame: By Day 29 ]
Defined as time from randomization to a 2-point improvement on the NIAID scale, or discharge from the hospital, whichever comes first. Participants who die before Day 29 will be censored at Day 30.
The NIAID is an 8-point ordinal scale of clinical outcomes: 1=death; 2=hospitalized, on invasive mechanical ventilation or 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.
- Cohort 1: Time to return to room air or discharge by Day 29 [ Time Frame: By Day 29 ]Defined as time from randomization to the start date of breathing room air (NIAID score ≥ 5), or discharge from the hospital, whichever occurs first. Participants who die before Day 29 will be censored at Day 30.
- Cohort 1: Mortality rate at Day 29 [ Time Frame: Day 29 ]Mortality rate is defined as the proportion of participants who die.
- Cohort 2: Time to 1-point clinical improvement by Day 29 [ Time Frame: By Day 29 ]Defined as time from randomization to a 1-point improvement on the NIAID 8-point ordinal scale, or discharge from the hospital, whichever comes first. Subjects who die before Day 29 will be censored at Day 30.
