Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Main Objective: To investigate the safety and effectiveness of imatinib mesilate solution for direct intravenous (iv) injection in mechanically-ventilated subjects with COVID-19-related ARDS. ;Secondary Objective: Not applicable.;Primary end point(s): The primary endpoint is the change in extravascular lung water index (?EVLWi) between Day 1 (baseline) and Day 4, as measured by PICCO catheter.;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: Day 1 (baseline), day 2, day 4 and day 7.

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
Secondary end point(s): Pulmonary edema, gas-exchange and respiratory mechanics: • Extravascular Lung Water Index (Day 1, 2, 4 and 7) • Pulmonary vascular permeability index (Day 1, 2, 4 and 7) • Oxygenation index (Day 1, 2, 4, 7, 10 and Day 28, if available) • PaO2/FiO2 ratio (Day 1, 2, 4, 7, 10 and Day 28, if available) • Airway driving pressure (Day 1, 2, 4, 7, 10 and on Day 28, if available) • Compliance of the respiratory system (Day 1, 2, 4, 7, 10 and on Day 28, if available) • Mechanical power (Day 1,2,4,7,10 and on Day 28 if available) Inflammation, endothelial injury and lung epithelial injury: • Plasma biomarkers of inflammation, endothelial injury and lung epithelial injury (Day 1, 2, 4, 7 and 10) Organ function and outcome: • Sequential Organ Failure Assessment (SOFA) score (Day 1, 2, 4, 7, 10 and on Day 28, if available) • Number of ventilator-free days and alive at day 28 • Duration of mechanical ventilation (days) till day 28 • Length of ICU stay (days) till day 28 • Hospital length of stay (days) till day 28 • 28-day mortality Safety parameters o Blood cell count, i.e. haemoglobin, thrombocytes and leucocytes (Day 1,2,4,7 and 10) o Kidney function, estimated glomerular filtration rate, sodium and potassium (Day 1,2,4,7 and 10) o Liver enzymes, i.e. ASAT, ALAT, Alkaline Phosphatase, ?- glutamyltransferase, bilirubin (Day 1,2,4,7 and 10) o NT-proBNP (Day 1,2,4,7 and 10) o SAEs / AE o Corrected QT interval at ECG (Day 1,2,4,7 and 10) Pharmacokinetics o Study drug plasma levels at 4h and 8h after administration (Day 1) and on Day 2,4,7,10 o In a subpopulation study drug plasma levels during administration and 2h after administration. o Albumin, AGP1 at 4h, 8h, Day 2,4,7 and 10.;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: - Extravascular Lung Water and pulmonary vascular permeability Index: Day 1, 2, 4 and 7. - Other parameters of gas-exchange and respiratory mechanics: Day 1, 2, 4, 7, 10 and Day 28 - Plasma biomarkers of inflammation, endothelial in
