Inclusion criteria

Inclusion criteria: • Clinically diagnosed with the SARS-CoV-2 virus • Hospitalized with COVID-19-induced pneumonia • Impaired respiratory function, defined as peripheral oxygen saturation (SpO2) =93% on room air or partial pressure of oxygen (PaO2) / fraction of inspired oxygen (FiO2) =65 years) yes F.1.3.1 Number of subjects for this age range 60

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion criteria: • Suspected active or chronic bacterial (including Mycobacterium tuberculosis), fungal, viral, or other infection (besides SARS-CoV-2) • In the opinion of the investigator, progression to death is imminent and inevitable within the next 24 hours, irrespective of the provision of treatment • Intubated prior to randomization • Have received either oral anti-rejection, or immunomodulatory drugs within the past 2 weeks, or immunomodulatory therapeutic antibodies within the 5 half-lives or 30 days from randomization (whichever is longer), with the exception of hydroxychloroquine, chloroquine or corticosteroids at doses up to and including prednisolone 10mg daily or equivalent • Treatment with a prohibited drug within 5 half-lives or 30 days (whichever is longer) of randomization or during the course of the study •Serum alanine transaminase (ALT) or aspartate transaminase (AST) >5 times upper limit of normal detected within 24 hours at screening or at baseline or other evidence of severe hepatic impairment (Child-Pugh Class C) • Absolute peripheral blood neutrophil count of =1000/mm3 • Estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) =30 mL/min/1.73m2
