Brief Summary:
This is a multicenter, open-label, 2x2 factorial, randomized-controlled trial in critically-ill patients with novel coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) evaluating the efficacy and safety of full-dose vs. standard prophylactic dose anticoagulation and of antiplatelet vs. no antiplatelet therapy for prevention of venous and arterial thrombotic events.

Primary Outcome Measures :
  1. Primary endpoint: Venous or arterial thrombotic events [ Time Frame: 28 days or until hospital discharge, whichever earlier ]
    Hierarchical composite: Death due to venous or arterial thrombosis, pulmonary embolism, clinically evident DVT, type 1 MI, ischemic stroke, systemic embolism or acute limb ischemia, or clinically silent DVT


Secondary Outcome Measures :
  1. Key secondary endpoint: Clinically evident venous or arterial thrombotic events [ Time Frame: 28 days or until hospital discharge, whichever earlier ]
    Hierarchical composite: Death due to venous or arterial thrombosis, pulmonary embolism, clinically evident DVT, type 1 MI, ischemic stroke, systemic embolism or acute limb ischemia
