Eligibility Criteria

Inclusion

  • Male and female patients aged 18-80 years inclusive at screening.
  • Clinically diagnosed with the SARS-CoV-2 virus by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) or by other approved diagnostic methodology within 7 days prior to randomization.
  • Hospitalized with COVID-19-induced pneumonia evidenced by chest X-ray, computed tomography scan (CT scan) or magnetic resonance scan (MR scan), taken within 5 days prior to randomization (within 24 hours in patients in the Netherlands).
  • Impaired respiratory function, defined as peripheral oxygen saturation (SpO2) ≤93% on room air or partial pressure of oxygen (PaO2) / fraction of inspired oxygen (FiO2) \<300 millimeter of mercury (mmHg) at screening. For cities located at altitudes greater than 2500 m above sea level, these will be substituted with SpO2 \<90% and PaO2/FiO2 \<250 mmHg.
  • APACHE II score of ≥10 at screening.
  • C-reactive protein (CRP) ≥20 mg/L and/or ferritin level ≥600 μg/L at screening.
  • Body mass index of ≥18 to \<40kg/m2 at screening.

Exclusion

  • Suspected active or chronic bacterial (including Mycobacterium tuberculosis), fungal, viral, or other infection (besides SARS-CoV-2).
  • In the opinion of the investigator, progression to death is imminent and inevitable within the next 24 hours, irrespective of the provision of treatment.
  • Intubated prior to randomization.
  • Previous treatment with anti-rejection and immunomodulatory drugs within the past 2 weeks, or within the past 30 days or 5 half-lives (whichever is the longer) for immunomodulatory therapeutic antibodies or prohibited drugs, with the exception of hydroxychloroquine, chloroquine or corticosteroids:
  • For COVID-19 infection, ongoing corticosteroid treatment is permitted at doses as per local SoC.For non-COVID-19 disorders, ongoing corticosteroid treatment is permitted at doses up to and including prednisolone 10 mg daily or equivalent.
  • In patients in the Netherlands only, the use of hydroxychloroquine and/or chloroquine in the past 2 weeks are exclusionary.
  • Serum alanine transaminase (ALT) or aspartate transaminase (AST) \>5 times upper limit of normal detected within 24 hours at screening or at baseline (according to local laboratory reference ranges) or other evidence if severe hepatic impairment (Child-Pugh Class C).
  • Absolute peripheral blood neutrophil count of ≤1000/mm3.
  • Estimated GFR (eGFR) ≤30 mL/min/1.73m2 (based on CKD-EPI formula).
  • Patients currently being treated with drugs known to be strong or moderate inducers of isoenzyme CYP2C9 and/or strong inhibitors of CYP2C9 and/or strong inducers of cytochrome P450, family 3, subfamily A (CYP3A) and the treatment cannot be discontinued or switched to a different medication prior to starting study treatment.
  • Patients with innate or acquired immunodeficiencies.
  • Patients who have undergone solid organ or stem cell transplantation.
