Male or female subject =18 years of age. 3. Laboratory-confirmed SARS-CoV-2 infection. 4. Diagnosis of community-acquired severe COVID-19 within 5 days after hospital-admission, with severe defined as: o Need for non-invasive ventilation (NIV), or high-flow oxygen therapy (score =5 on the 9-category ordinal scale). o At least one clinical respiratory parameter: dyspnea, respiratory frequency =30/min, SpO2 =93%, 100 mmHg 50% within 24 to 48 hours. o At least one measurement of C-reactive protein =50 mg/L within 18 hours prior to start of treatment. 5. Subject must receive SoC treatment for COVID-19.

Exclusion criteria
Exclusion criteria: 2. Subjects that deteriorated to score >5 on the 9-category ordinal scale (e.g. receiving invasive mechanical ventilation (IMV), and/or extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO)) or subjects that improved to score <5 prior to randomization. 3. Severe neutropenia (neutrophil count <500/mm³) assessed within 18 hours prior to start of treatment. 4. Thrombocytopenia (platelet count <30,000/mm³) assessed within 18 hours prior to start of treatment. 5. Hemoglobin <7g/dL assessed within 18 hours prior to start of treatment. 6. Known hemolysis. 7. Known thrombosis or thromboembolic events (TEEs) or known medical history of TEEs (e.g. cerebrovascular accidents, transient ischemic attack, myocardial infarction, pulmonary embolism, and deep vein thrombosis) within the previous 3 months or those subjects particularly at risk for TEEs (e.g. history of thrombophilia, permanent immobilization, or permanent paralysis of the lower extremities) caused by other reasons than COVID-19. 8.

Subject with end stage renal disease (ESRD), or known primary focal segmental glomerulosclerosis (FSGS). 10. Known severe lung diseases interfering with COVID-19 therapy (e.g. severe interstitial lung disease, cystic fibrosis, idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis, active tuberculosis, chronically infected bronchiectasis, or active lung cancer). 11. Known decompensated heart failure (New York Heart Association class III–IV). 12.

Life expectancy of less than 90 days, according to the Investigator’s clinical judgment, because of medical conditions neither related to COVID-19 nor to associated medical complications. 18. Obesity (body mass index =40 kg/m²), a body weight of more than 123 kg, or anorexia (body mass index <16 kg/m²).
Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Main Objective: The objectives of the trial are to evaluate the efficacy and safety of trimodulin as add-on therapy to standard of care (SoC) compared to placebo treatment in adult hospitalized subjects with severe COVID-19.;Secondary Objective: Pharmacodynamic (PD) and pharmacokinetic (PK) properties of trimodulin will be evaluated in all subjects.;Primary end point(s): The composite endpoint is evaluated on day 29 [+3];Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: Included in E.5.1 Clinical deterioration rate (score =6-7) between day 6 and day 29 28-day all-cause mortality rate (score =8) between day 1 and day 29 | — |
