Infection proven by COVID-19 by RT-PCR assay of a pharyngeal specimen (nasopharyngeal or oropharyngeal) AND pneumonia defined as radiographic opacities on chest x-ray or CT that diagnosed COVID-19 pneumonia. Pharyngeal specimens collected at screening or within 7 days prior to screening are acceptable for the same ongoing COVID-19 pneumonia disease. 3. Patient requires, at baseline, supplemental high-flow oxygen or positive pressure ventilation, if high-flow oxygen is not an available option. 4.

(For more details on highly effective contraceptive methods, see Section 11.3). Additionally, male participants must refrain from donating sperm during the study and for 1 month after the last dose of study drug.
