Brief Summary

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

In this study, defined cases of COVID-19 with mild, moderate or severe pneumonia will be treated with standard treatment regimens in combination with IV injection of Deferoxamine. Improvement in clinical, laboratory and radiological manifestations will be evaluated in treated patient compared to control group.
