Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

This study is an adaptive, randomized, open-label, controlled clinical trial, in collaboration with countries around the world through the World Health Organization.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Subjects will be randomized, across one, two, three or up to four separate randomizations, to receive either standard-of-care products or the study medication plus standard of care, while being hospitalized for COVID-19.

Randomization WHO: Imatinib vs Infliximab vs Artesunate vs Standard of care

Randomization Dex: Dexamethasone vs Standard of care

Randomization LSALT: LSALT Peptide vs Standard of care

Hospitalized subjects will require blood sampling for screening and on days 1 and 5.

Artesunate

Subjects will be randomized Artesunate vs Imatinib vs Infliximab vs standard of care

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Artesunate

Intervention Type DRUG

2.4 mg/kg at 0 hours, 12 hours, 24 hours, and then daily for a total of 7 days plus standard of care

Imatinib

Subjects will be randomized Artesunate vs Imatinib vs Infliximab vs standard of care

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Imatinib

Intervention Type DRUG

400 mg enterally daily for 14 days plus standard of care

Infliximab

Subjects will be randomized Artesunate vs Imatinib vs Infliximab vs standard of care

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Infliximab

Intervention Type DRUG

5 mg/kg IV given one time, over 2 hours plus standard of care

Dexamethasone

Subjects will be randomized between Dexamethasone vs standard of care.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Dexamethasone

Intervention Type DRUG

6 mg IV/oral for a further five days, followed by a five day taper of 4 mg x 2 days and 2 mg x 3 days, for a total 20 day steroid course. If randomized to standard of care, discontinue the corticosteroid on day 10
