- Written informed consent has been obtained from the participants with an age of over 20 years at the time of signing the informed consent.
- SARS-CoV-2 infection is diagnosed by RT-PCR within 72 hours before starting drug administration.
- Less than six days from onset of COVID-19-related symptoms below to starting the administration of the investigational drug with at least one of the following symptoms observed at the time of enrollment : fever (37.5C or higher), respiratory symptoms (cough, shortness of breath, sore throat, runny nose, etc.), headache, myalgia, malaise, abdominal pain, diarrhea, nausea/vomiting, dysosmia, dysgeusia, or other COVID-19 symptoms defined by investigators or coinvestigators investigators.
- Oxygen saturation (SpO2) measured by pulse oximeter is more than 95%.

- Having had it considered necessary to receive treatments, such as drugs containing corticosteroids (excluding topical drugs), antimicrobial agents, and inhalants other than the investigational drug during the study period.
- Taking "Shosaikoto," an herbal medicine.
- Neuropsychiatric disorder and autoimmune disorder.
- CTCAE Grade 3 or higher liver dysfunction (ALT/AST > 5ULN) or renal dysfunction (eGFR < 30 mL/min/1.73 m2).
