Eligibility Criteria

Inclusion

  • Hospitalized with laboratory-confirmed (RT-PCR+) or highly suspected (compatible with at least bilobar lung involvement without another plausible diagnosis) COVID-19
  • Weight ≤100 kg
  • Within 24 hours of reaching a WHO severity score of 4-6 either:
  • At admission
  • While already hospitalized
  • Informed consent obtained from subject/next of kin/legal proxy
  • Primary admitting diagnosis of pneumonia supported by a compatible clinical presentation with a documented infiltrate consistent with pneumonia on chest radiograph or CT as assessed by the admitting emergency-department (ED), clinic, or ward physician or equivalent caregiver
  • Recommended (not mandatory) guidance/discretionary criteria defining patients with pneumonia satisfying all 4 categories below:
  • At least 2 symptoms: difficulty breathing, cough, production of purulent sputum, or chest pain
  • At least 2 vital sign abnormalities: fever, tachycardia, or tachypnea (thresholds -- fever: oral or core temperature \>100.4 °F \[38 °C\]; heart rate \>100 beats/min; respiratory rate \>24/min)
  • At least one finding of other clinical signs and laboratory abnormalities: hypoxemia (O2 saturation \<90%), clinical evidence of pulmonary consolidation, or leukocytosis or leukopenia
  • Chest imaging or CT showing new (or presumed new or worsening) pulmonary infiltrates
  • Principal investigator to note radiologic findings in the electronic case report form (eCRF)
  • Radiology report to be placed in the eCRF
  • A copy of the radiograph attached to be saved for review
  • A hyperinflammatory status (defined by increased ferritin ≥500 µg/L, D-dimer ≥1000 ng/mL, or C-reactive protein (CRP) ≥75 mg/L)
  • During the course of the study starting at screening and for at least 6 months after their final study treatment:
  • Female subjects of childbearing potential must agree to use 2 medically accepted birth control methods
  • Male subjects with a partner who might become pregnant must agree to use reliable forms of contraception (i.e., vasectomy, abstinence), or an acceptable method of birth control must be used by the partner
  • All subjects must agree not to donate sperm or eggs (ovocytes)

Exclusion

  • A negative RT-PCR test for COVID-19 during the evaluation of the present illness
  • Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO)
  • Pregnant or lactating women
  • Active underlying cancer treated with systemic chemotherapy or radiation therapy during the last 30 days
  • Transplantation of hematopoietic or solid organs
  • Chronic mechanical ventilation or dialysis
  • Otherwise unsuitable for study participation because of chronic, severe, end-stage, and life-limiting underlying disease unrelated to COVID-19 likely to interfere with management and assessment of acute pneumonia, only comfort or limited (non-aggressive) care is to be given, or life expectancy \<6 months unrelated to acute COVID infection in the opinion of the Investigator
