Brief Summary

COVID-19 is a disease caused by the virus, SARS-CoV-2. Patients with this viral infection are at risk for developing pneumonia and acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). Approximately 20% to 30% ...

Eligibility Criteria

Inclusion

  • Age ≥18 years at time of signing Informed Consent Form
  • Hospitalized with COVID-19 pneumonia confirmed per WHO criteria (including a positive PCR of any specimen, e.g., respiratory, blood, urine, stool, other bodily fluid) and per the investigator, the respiratory compromise is most likely due to COVID-19
  • Patient complaint of dyspnea at the time of presentation to ED or hospital
  • Patient on room air or oxygen supplementation of no greater than 4 liters at rest to maintaining pulse oximetry of 92% or greater. This can include oxygen supplementation by any modality (BIPAP, CPAP, HFNC, NRB, NC), with the exception of mechanical ventilation or ECLS.
  • Signed Informed Consent Form by any patient capable of giving consent, or, when the patient is not capable of giving consent, by his or her legal/authorized representative
  • Ability to comply with the study protocol in the investigator's judgment.

  • Patients with underlying seizures disorder
  • Patients with a cardiac pacemaker

  • Patients who are pregnant or breastfeeding
  • Patients with active TB infection
  • Patient already on mechanical ventilation or ECLS
  • Suspected active bacterial, fungal, viral, or other infection (besides COVID-19)
  • In the opinion of the investigator, progression to mechanical ventilation, ECLS or death is imminent and inevitable within the next 24 hours, irrespective of the provision of treatments
  • Participating in other drug clinical trials
  • ALT or AST \> 5 x ULN detected within 24 hours at screening or at baseline (according to local laboratory reference ranges)
  • ANC \< 500/µL at screening and baseline (according to local laboratory reference ranges)
  • Platelet count \< 50,000/µL at screening and baseline (according to local laboratory reference ranges)
  • Any serious medical condition or abnormality of clinical laboratory tests that, in the investigator's judgment, precludes the patient's safe participation in and completion of the study
