Secondary

MeasureTime frame
To evaluate if IV imatinib compared to placebo has an early effect on ARDS severity in patients with critical COVID-19 receiving standard of care. To evaluate the effect of IV imatinib compared to placebo on clinical outcomes in patients with critical COVID-19 receiving standard of care.Timepoint: Change(from baseline)in OSI at Day3 and Day5,Mortality rate at Day29 and Day60.Change(from baseline) in WHO9-point ordinal Scale for Clinical Improvement to Day10 and Day29 (All/Survivors),Duration of mechanical ventilation (days)to Day29 and Day60 (All/Survivors),Duration of stay in ICU/hospital(days) to Day29 and Day60(All/Survivors),Time to first successful extubation (hours):From randomization to Day29,Number of days free of mechanical ventilation and survival (VFDsurv)at Day29 and Day60
