Outcomes

Primary Outcome Measures

World Health Organization (WHO) Ordinal Scale Score
The number of subjects who scored as No limitations (Score 0-1) and Ambulatory, limitations (score 2-8) on the WHO Ordinal Scale score. The 9 points of the WHO ordinal clinical severity scale are as follows: 0: no clinical or virological evidence of infection; 1: ambulatory, no activity limitation; 2: ambulatory, activity limitation; 3: hospitalized, no oxygen therapy; 4: hospitalized, oxygen mask or nasal prongs; 5: hospitalized, noninvasive mechanical ventilation (NIMV) or high-flow nasal cannula (HFNC); 6: hospitalized, intubation and invasive mechanical ventilation (IMV); 7: hospitalized, IMV + additional support such as pressors or extracardiac membranous oxygenation (ECMO); 8: death. Total scores range from 0-8. Lower scales indicate less limitations, higher scores indicate more limitations.

Secondary Outcome Measures

Serious Adverse Events
The number of serious adverse events reported
