Brief summary

To determine if the reduction in TMPRSS2 activity via direct inhibition with Camostat mesilate combined with standard of care (SOC) treatment will increase the proportion of patients alive and free from respiratory failure at Day 28 in SARS-CoV-2 as compared to SOC treatment with placebo.

Time to clinical improvement will be calculated as the number of days from study entry until the earliest date of clinical change.
