Outcomes
Primary Outcome Measures
Time to recovery
Time to recovery, defined as attaining a score of 6, 7, or 8 on the COVID-19 disease severity scale, an 8 point ordinal scale used in the NIH Adaptive COVID-19 Treatment Trial (ACTT; NCT04280705).
= Death;
= Hospitalized and on invasive mechanical ventilation or extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO);
= Hospitalized and on non-invasive ventilation or high-flow oxygen devices;
= Hospitalized and requiring supplemental oxygen;
= Hospitalized and not requiring supplemental oxygen but requiring ongoing medical care (COVID-19-related or otherwise);
= Hospitalized and not requiring supplemental oxygen and no longer requiring ongoing medical care;
= Not hospitalized, limitation on activities and/or requiring home oxygen;
= Not hospitalized, no limitation on activities
Secondary Outcome Measures
COVID-19 disease severity scale score on Day 8
COVID-19 disease severity scale (range; 1-8, higher scores correspond to better health state).
COVID-19 disease severity scale score on Day 15
COVID-19 disease severity scale (range; 1-8, higher scores correspond to better health state).
COVID-19 disease severity scale score on Day 22
COVID-19 disease severity scale (range; 1-8, higher scores correspond to better health state).
COVID-19 disease severity scale score on Day 29
COVID-19 disease severity scale (range; 1-8, higher scores correspond to better health state).
Incidence of mortality at Day 29
Incidence of in-hospital mortality
Number of days alive and not on mechanical ventilator or ECMO in the 28 days following first dose
Number of patients with resolution of symptoms defined as score of 8 on the 8-point ordinal scale at Day 29
Number of patients alive and free of respiratory failure defined as score of 4, 5, 6, 7, or 8 on the 8-point ordinal scale at Day 29
