Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Part 1: The occurrence and severity of adverse events (AEs) and serious adverse events (SAEs), including prespecified respiratory and cardiovascular deteriorations, assessed by site staff using recognised assessment tools and/or patients’ clinical condition, up to 28 days from randomisation Part 2: All-cause mortality within 28 days from randomisation measured using the proportion of patients who died between randomisation and day 28 in each study arm | — |

| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Current secondary outcomes as of 07/07/2026; Part 1: None Part 2: 1. The occurrence and severity of AEs and SAEs, including pre-specified respiratory and cardiovascular deteriorations, assessed by site staff using recognised assessment tools and/or patients’ clinical condition, up to Day 42 2. Organ failure assessed using the modified Sequential Organ Failure Assessment (mSOFA) score (5-point scores for the different organ systems) daily during ICU stay up to day 15 3. Time to extubation, defined as the date free from all tubes (endotracheal tube and tracheostomy tube), which was sustained for a minimum of 48 hours, up to 28 days from randomisation 4. Ventilator-free days over 28 days from randomisation measured using the mean number of days between randomisation and day 28 in each study arm when patients were not receiving mechanical ventilation 5. Duration of ICU stay up to 28 days from randomisation measured using the mean number of days between randomisation and day 28 in each study arm when patients were staying in the ICU 6. Duration of hospital stay up to 28 days from randomisation measured using the mean number of days between randomisation and day 28 in each study arm when patients were staying in the hospital 7. All-cause mortality within 28 days post final dose 8. Alive and free of organ support at 28 days from randomisation and at 28 days post final dose 9. Clinical improvement assessed using the Ordinal Scale for Clinical Improvement (OSCI) score (8-point scale) from baseline to 7, 10, 14 and 28 days post-randomisation 10. Time to first negative virus test in tracheal aspirates assessed daily up to Day 7 by reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) test 11.
