Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
ââ?¬Â¢Clinical recovery time: Time taken for clinical recovery of subjective symptoms from baseline to EOT. The first day that all symptoms reached ââ?¬Ë?none/not at allââ?¬â?¢ or ââ?¬Ë?weak/a little bitââ?¬â?¢ will be defined as the day of clinical recovery. A modified Flu-PRO questionnaire will be used to analyze the clinical recovery. Patients will rate the extent to which they have experienced symptoms during past 24 hours, using a 5-point severity scale ranging from ââ?¬Ë?not at allââ?¬â?¢ (0) to ââ?¬Ë?very muchââ?¬â?¢ (4). ââ?¬Â¢Proportion of subjects who died or had Oxygen therapy (new high flow oxygen, except for nasal prong or facial mask), mechanical ventilation (new NIV (non-invasive mechanical ventilation), MV (invasive mechanical ventilation)) or ECMO) during study duration.Timepoint: baseline to EOT

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
Clinical status improvement: Assessed using NEWS2, WHO 11 ordinal scales. 1. National Early Warning Score (NEWS 2) a. Change in Score (total and each score) b. Proportion of vital sign improvement in NEWS 2. Vital sign improvement can be defined as individual score reaching to � 2 in subject with score 2 at baseline. c. Proportion of normalization in NEWS2. Normalization is defined as 0 score. 2. WHO 11 Ordinal Scale a. Change in WHO 11 Ordinal score b. Proportion of score improvement in Ordinal Scale. Improvement is defined as decreased score in WHO 11 ordinal scale. 3.Duration of hospitalization (days). 4.Time from treatment initiation to death (days, if applicable). 5.Duration and incidence of ICU admission (days). 6.Duration of new non-invasive ventilation or high flow oxygen use, new ventilator or extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) use (days). 7.Pharmacodynamic parameters: Prostaglandin E2, TNF-alpha and IL-6 levels.Timepoint: 1.Day 1, day 4, day 7 or day of discharge/ Early termination 2.Day 1, day 4, day 7 or day of discharge/ Early termination 3. From baseline to symptom clearance 4. From baseline to follow-up 5. From baseline to day of discharge 6. From baseline to day of discharge 7. Day 1 and Day 7/day of discharge /Early termination
