Brief summary
Primary Objective: To evaluate the effect of SAR443122 relative to the control arm on the hyperinflammatory state as measured by C-reactive protein (CRP) levels in adult patients hospitalized with severe coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) Secondary Objectives: * To evaluate the time to onset of effect of SAR443122 relative to the control arm on the hyperinflammatory state as measured by CRP levels * To evaluate the time to onset of effect of SAR443122 relative to the control arm on oxygenation status * To evaluate the effect of SAR443122 relative to the control arm on oxygenation status * To evaluate the effect of SAR443122 relative to the control arm on total duration of supplemental oxygen requirement * To evaluate the effect of SAR443122 relative to the control arm on length of ventilator support needed * To evaluate the effect of SAR443122 relative to the control arm on laboratory markers of severe COVID-19 * To evaluate the effect of SAR443122 relative to the control arm on mortality * To evaluate the effect of SAR443122 relative to the control arm on need for thrombolytic therapy * To evaluate the effect of SAR443122 relative to the control arm on need for vasopressor treatment * To evaluate the safety of SAR443122 as compared to the control arm up to End of Study * To evaluate the effect of SAR443122 relative to the control arm on total duration without high flow supplemental oxygen requirements

Eligibility
Inclusion criteria
* Participant must be ≥18 years and ≤80 years of age inclusive, at the time of signing the informed consent. * Hospitalized (or documentation of a plan to admit to the hospital if the participant is in an emergency department) with evidence of COVID-19 lung disease diagnosed by chest radiograph, chest computed tomography or chest auscultation (rales, crackles) and with severe disease defined as follows: The participant requires supplemental oxygen administered by nasal cannula, simple face mask, or other similar oxygen delivery device (ie, increase in oxygen requirement following SARS-CoV-2 infection). * SARS-CoV-2 infection confirmed by RT-PCR, or other commercial or public health assay in any specimen, within 3 weeks prior to randomization, and no alternative explanation for current clinical condition. * At time of randomization, have demonstrated laboratory signs consistent with systemic inflammation. * Male and/or female participants, including women of childbearing potential (WOCBP). * Capable of giving signed informed consent.
Exclusion criteria
* In the opinion of the investigator, unlikely to survive after 48 hours, or unlikely to remain at the investigational site beyond 48 hours * Participants requiring use of invasive or non-invasive positive pressure ventilation at randomization. * Presence of significant liver enzyme abnormalities, thrombocytopenia or anemia at screening. * Any prior or concurrent use or plans to receive during the study period of immunomodulatory therapies (other than interventional drug) at screening. * Use of chronic systemic corticosteroids for a non-COVID-19-related condition in a dose higher than prednisone 10 mg or equivalent per day at screening. *
