Eligibility

Inclusion criteria

Inclusion criteria: Subjects will be considered eligible when all the following criteria met: 1. Male or female adult patients. 18 to 65 years of age (both inclusive). 2. Hospitalized and Confirmed case of SARS-CoV-2 infection by rtPCR or rapid antigen test. 3. Severe COVID19 disease as defined as (any one of below) o Respiratory rate >30/min, Breathlessness o SpO2 4. Patient shows no signs of improvement in terms of oxygen requirement even after 24-48 hours of administration of steroids as per hospital records. 5. Evidence of systemic inflammation (any one of below) o CRP � 75mg/L. o IL-6 � 40 pg/mL 6. Informed consent for participation in the study either by Patient or LAR

Exclusion criteria

Suspected or active bacterial, fungal, viral or other infection (Besides COVID-19) 4. Patient on invasive mechanical ventilator 5. In the opinion of the investigator, progression to death is imminent and inevitable within the next 24 hours, irrespective of the provision of treatments. 6. Received prior treatment with oral anti-rejection or immune modulatory drugs (including Tocilizumab) within the previous 6 months. 7. Received immunomodulatory or biologics therapy (except steroids) as standard of care for the treatment of COVID-19 which could impact primary of secondary objectives of the study (including but not limited to itolizumab and TNF alpha inhibitors) 8. Patients with severe renal failure (eGFR 9. Any serious medical condition (including multiorgan failure) or abnormality of clinical laboratory tests that, in the investigatorââ?¬•s judgment, precludes the patient safe participation in and completion of the study. 10.
