Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Main Objective: -Cohort 1: Evaluate the clinical improvement of patients on the basis of the WHO scale (Ordinal Scale for Clinical Improvement - Annex) calculated on D14 and D28 -Cohort 2 (COVID-19 related Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome (ARDS) Patients hospitalized in intensive care unit): Number of days living without mechanical ventilation at D28 (Ventilator-free days or VFD28) (avdoralimab patients vs placebo patients) - Cohort 3: Evaluate the clinical improvement of patients on the basis of the WHO scale calculated on D14 and D28 ;Secondary Objective: -Evaluate the improvement in the rate of patients discharged alive from hospital on D14 - WHO scale at D14 and at D28 - Evaluate the clinical improvement in patients based on the WHO scale calculated on D14 and D28 (cohort 2) -Evaluate the decrease of the number of patients transferred to intensive care (cohort 1) -Evaluate the decrease of hospital stay duration -Evaluate the decrease of intensive care unit hospitalization duration -Evaluate the number of days living without mechanical ventilation at D14 (VFD14) and at D28 (VDF28)for patients hospitalized in intensive care unit -Evaluate the decrease of mortality at D28 -Evaluate the improvement of the SOFA (organ failure) score of patients at D14 for patients hospitalized in intensive care unit -Evaluate the number of sepsis (SEPSIS-3 definition) -Evaluate avdoralimab safety ;Primary end point(s): -Cohort 1: Clinical improvement on the WHO scale on D14 and D28 Difference between experimental arm and control arm - Cohort 2: Number of days living without mechanical ventilation on D28 (Ventilator-free days or VFD28) Difference between experimental arm and control arm - Cohort 3: Clinical improvement on the WHO scale on D14 and D28 Difference between experimental arm and control arm ;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: Cohort 1 : Day 14 and Day 28 Cohort 2: Day 28 Cohort 3: Day 14 and Day 28

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
Secondary end point(s): -Clinical respiratory score at Day 14 and Day 28 -VFD14 for patients hospitalized in intensive care unit -Admission rate in intensive care units -Mortality at D28 -Hospital stay duration -Intensive care unit hospitalization duration -SOFA (organ failure) score at D14 for patients hospitalized in intensive care unit -Number of sepsis (SEPSIS-3 definition) in experimental arms -Adverse events number for avdoralimab patients vs placebo patients ;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: -Day 14: Clinical respiratory score; VFD14; SOFA (organ failure) score; -Day 28: Clinical respiratory score; Mortality -Throughout the duration of the study: Admission rate in intensive care units; Hospital stay duration; Intensive care unit hospitalization duration; Number of sepsis (SEPSIS-3 definition); Adverse events
