| Main Objective: Part 1 • Ascertain the safety and tolerability of BIO101, in order to facilitate recruitment to part 2 • Obtain preliminary indication of activity of BIO101, in preventing respiratory deterioration in the target population Part 2 • Re-assess the sample size that is needed for the confirmatory part of the study • Provide confirmation on the benefit of BIO101 in the target population • Identify and assess potential biomarkers for further understanding of the effect of BIO101 in the target population ;Secondary Objective: Not applicable;Primary end point(s): For end-of-part-1 interim analysis: For safety analysis intended to facilitate recruitment for part 2, time frame – up to 28 days: Safety and tolerability to BIO101: • SUSARs, SAEs, AESIs, AEs • Vital signs • Safety labs (including testicular biomarkers) • ECGs For interim analysis intended to obtain indication of activity of BIO101, time frame – up to 28 days: Primary: • Proportion of participants with ‘negative’ events, of either of the following: o All-cause mortality o Respiratory failure, defined as any of the following: - Requiring mechanical ventilation (including cases that will not be intubated due to resource restrictions and triage) - Requiring ECMO Secondary: • SpO2/FiO2 • Inflammatory markers including: o IL 6 o TNFa o D-dimer • RAS / MAS biomarkers: o Angiotensin 2 o Angiotensin 1-7 (Ang (1-7) o Angiotensin 1-5 (Ang 1-5) o Angiotensin 1 o Angiotensin-converting enzyme 2(ACE2) levels and activity For part-2 sample size interim analysis: For sample size re-assessment for part 2, time frame – up to 28 days: • Proportion of participants with ‘negative’ events, of either of the following: o All-cause mortality o Respiratory failure, defined as any of the following: - Requiring mechanical ventilation (including cases that will not be intubated due to resource restrictions and triage) - Requiring ECMO For the final analysis: Primary, time frame – up to 28 days: • Proportio | — |

| Secondary end point(s): Key secondary: • Proportion of participants with ‘positive’ events: o official discharge from hospital care by the department due to improvement in participant condition (self-discharge by particpant is not considered a positive event) Additional secondary endpoints: • SpO2/FiO2 • Oxygen saturation in arterial blood, measured by pulse-oximetry (SpO2) • Proportion of participants with events of all-cause mortality • Time to events, of either of the following: o All-cause mortality o Respiratory failure, defined as any of the following: - Requiring mechanical ventilation (including cases that will not be intubated due to resource restrictions and triage) - Requiring ECMO • Time to event: official discharge from hospital care due to improvement • The National Early Warning Score 2 (NewS2) • Population-PK study (pop-PK) Secondary Endpoints to Assess Durability of Effect: • For participants who experienced a ‘positive’ event: o Proportion of participants with the occurrence of negative event, within the 14-day post intervention and 28- and 90-day postrandomization time frame. o Time to event: occurrence of a negative event during the 28- and 90 day period. o Proportion of participants with sustained positive outcome, within the 14-day post intervention and 28- and 90-day postrandomization time frame. o Time to event: official discharge from hospital-care due to improvement without re hospitalization or death during the 28- and 90 day period. • For participants who experienced a ‘negative’ event: o Proportion of participants with sustained positive outcome, within the 14-day post intervention and 28- and 90-day postrandomization time frame. o Time to event: resolution of a negative event during the 28- and 90 day period. o Proportion of participants with sustained positive outcome, within the 14-day post intervention and 28- and 90-day postrandomization time frame. o Time to event: official discharge from | — |
