Brief summary

Primary Objective: • To evaluate overall safety and tolerability of SIR1-365 in patients with severe COVID-19 Secondary Objectives: * To assess the clinical efficacy of SIR1-365 in patients with severe COVID-19 * To assess the effects of SIR1-365 on multiple inflammatory biomarker levels including C-reactive protein (CRP), ferritin, lymphocyte and neutrophil counts, cytokines, and chemokines * To assess the effects of SIR1-365 on biomarkers indicative of target engagement in patients with severe COVID-19 * To assess the effects of SIR1-365 on biomarkers indicative of kidney injury in patients with severe COVID-19 * To assess the effects of SIR1-365 on biomarkers indicative of cardiovascular endothelial cell damage in patients with severe COVID-19 * To characterize plasma pharmacokinetics (PK) of SIR1-365 in patients with severe COVID-19

Secondary Safety Endpoint - 1 : Number of Patients With Any TEAEs During the Treatment Period Baseline to Day 28Baseline to Day 28This secondary safety endpoint assesses the overall tolerability of the study intervention by counting the number of participants who experienced one or more treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAEs) during the specified treatment period

The PaO2/FiO2 ratio is a clinical measure of oxygenation efficiency, calculated as the arterial partial pressure of oxygen (PaO2, in mmHg) divided by the fraction of inspired oxygen (FiO2, expressed as a decimal between 0 and 1). The endpoint assesses the absolute change in this ratio from baseline (defined as the value at randomization or study entry, typically within 24 hours prior to intervention) to the specified post-baseline time point(s) (e.g., Day 7, End of Treatment, or as per protocol)
