Brief summary
Patients with mild and severe COVID 19 will be randomized 1:1 into two groups: experimental, which will get bromhexine and spironolactone, and control. Patients will get investigated therapy for ten days. Change in clinical assessment score COVID 19 (CAS COVID 19) between baseline and 12th day will be evaluated as a primary endpoint. Forty-five-day risk of death or mechanical ventilation will also be assessed.

| Change from baseline in clinical assessment score COVID 19 (CAS COVID 19) | baseline, day 12 | change in CAS COVID 19 between baseline and 12th +/- 2 days CAS COVID 19 measures clinical and laboratory parameters in 7 domains: respiratory rate (\< 18 - 0 point; 18-22 - 1 point; 23-26 - 2 point; \>26 - 3 point) body temperature (35.5 - 37.0 - 0 point; \< 35.5 - 1 point; 37.1 - 38.5 - 1 point; \> 38.5 - 2 point) Sp02 without support oxygen (\> 93% - 0 point; 90-93% - 1 point; \< 90% - 2 point) ventilation (not required - 0 point; low-flow ventilation - 1 point; Non-invasive positive pressure ventilation - 2 point; mechanical ventilation - 3 point) C-reactive protein (\> 10 - 0 point; 10-59 - 1 point; 60-120 - 2 point; \> 120 - 3 point) d - dimer (\< 0.51 - 0 point; 0.51 - 2.0 - 1 point; 2.01 - 5.0 - 2, \> 5.0 - 3 point) exposure area on lung CT (no pneumonia - 0; 1-24% - 1 point; 25-50% - 2; 51-75% - 3, \> 75% - 4). Minimal number of points - 0; max - 20.Lower the score-better health |

| C-reactive protein | 12 days, 45 days | \- Change from baseline in C-reactive protein |
| D-dimer | 12 days, 45 days | \- Change from baseline in D-dimer |
| EuroQol Group. EQ-5D™ | 12 days, 45 days | Change from baseline in EQ-5D. The EQ-5D descriptive system comprises the 5 dimensions: mobility, self-care, usual activities, pain/discomfort and anxiety/depression. Each dimension has 3 levels: no problems, some problems, and extreme problems. The patient is asked to indicate his/her health state by ticking the box to the most appropriate statement. This decision results into a 1-digit number, . The digits for the five dimensions can be combined into a 5-digit number that describes the patient's health state. |
| - Combine endpoint - | 12 days, 45 days | time to death or mechanical ventilation |
| HADS | 14 days, 45 days | \- Change from baseline Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale/The Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS) is a 14-item measure designed to assess anxiety and depression symptoms in medical patients, with emphasis on reducing the impact of physical illness on the total score. Items are rated on a 4-point severity scale. The HADS produces two scales, one for anxiety (HADS-A) and one for depression (HADS-D), differentiating the two states. Scores of greater than or equal to 11 on either scale indicate a definitive case |
| Hospital length of stay | up to 45 days | Time from admission to the hospital to discharge form the hospital |
| EuroQol Group. EQ VAS | 12 days, 45 days | Change from baseline in EQ VAS EQ VAS records the patient's self-rated health on a vertical visual analogue scale where the endpoints are labelled 'Best imaginable health state' and 'Worst imaginable health state'. The VAS can be used as a quantitative measure of health outcome by patient's own judgement. |
