Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Ordinal Scale Improvement (OSI): To evaluate the number and percentage of patients in the treatment arms showing an improvement of at least two or more points on a seven-point ordinal scale.Timepoint: Day 1 to Day 14

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
Duration of hospitalization in survivors and non-survivors: Mean number of hospitalization days required in survivors {defined as time from randomization to day 28 or until a confirmatory RT-PCR test is performed (and is found to be negative) or the patient leaves the treatment site against medical advice, whichever is earlier} and non-survivors (defined as time from randomization to death)Timepoint: Day 1 to Day 29;Incidence of Negative RT-PCR test: Number and percentage of intent to treat patients turning RT-PCR negative on Days 7, 10 and 14.Timepoint: Day 1 to Day 14;Mortality Rate: Number and percentage of non-survivors falling into one of the two brackets Day 1 to 14 and Day 15 to 28. Date and cause of death will be monitored Timepoint: Day 1 to Day 28;Oxygen free days: Percentage of oxygen free days experienced during hospitalization, by the patients in each arm until day 14 or a first negative RT-PCR test (provided the confirmatory RT-PCR test is negative), whichever is earlier.Timepoint: Day 1 to Day 14;Percentage Change in Laboratory Analysis: Percentage change from baseline in all laboratory tests (Hematology and Biochemistry) compared to day 14 or upon meeting the hospital discharge criteria, whichever is earlier.Timepoint: Day 1 to Day 14;Polyamine Levels: Percentage change in serum/plasma polyamine (putrescine) levels in treatment arm 1 only from Day 1 (baseline) as compared to Day 14, or upon meeting the hospital discharge criteria, whichever is earlier.Timepoint: Day 1 to Day 14;Safety Endpoints: Cumulative incidence of Grade 3 and 4 adverse events (AEs) and Serious Adverse Events (SAEs): Cumulative AEs (Grade 3 and 4) and SAEs as per ICH guidelines, will be assessed in each treatment arm from randomization to day 28 or until resolution, whichever is earlier.Timepoint: Up to Day 28 or until resolution.
