E.2 Objective of the trial |
E.2.1 | Main objective of the trial |
To evaluate the clinical efficacy, as assessed by time to recovery or different investigational therapeutics as compared to the control arm.
|
|
E.2.2 | Secondary objectives of the trial |
Key Secondary: To evaluate the clincial efficacy of different investigational therapeutics relative to the control arm in adults hospitalised with COVID-19 accroding to clinical status (8-point scale) at Day 15. Additional secondary: 1. To evaluate the clinical efficaty of different invesitgational therapeutics as compared to the control arm assessed by: Clinical Severity, NEWS, Oxygenation, Non-invasive ventilation/high flow oxygen, Invasive Mechanical Ventilation/ECMO, Hospitalisation, Mortality: 14-day, 28-day. 2. To evaluate the safety of different investigational therapeutics as compared to the control arm as assessed by: Commulative incidence of SAE thorough Day 29, Commulative incidence of Grade 3 and 4 clincial and/or laboratory AEs through Day 29 Discontinuation or temporary suspension of infusions, Changes in laboratory values over time (analysis of lab. values in addition to AEs noted above Exploratory with stored samples (separate consent required) |

E.4 | Principal exclusion criteria |
1. ALT/AST > 5 times the upper limit of normal 2. Estimated glumerular filtration rate (eGFR) < 30 ml/min or patientes receiving hemodialysis or hemofiltration at time of screening 3. Neutropenia (absolute neutrophil count < 1000 cells/µL) (<1.0 x 103/µL, or <1.0 GI/L) 4. Lymphopenia (absolute lymphocyte count <200 cells/µL) (<0.20 x 103/µL or < 0.20 GI/L) 5. Pregnancy or breast feeding 6. Anticipated discharge from the hospital or transfer to another hospital which is not a study site within 72 hours 7. Allergy to any study medication 8. Received three or more doses of remdesivir including the loadingdose, outside of the study under the EUA (or similar mechanism) for COVID-19 9. Received convalesent plasma or intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIg]) for COVID-19 the current ilness for which they are being enrolled 10. Received small molecule tyrosin kinase inhibitors (e.g. baricitinib, imatibib, genfinitib) in the 1 week prior to screening 11. Received monoclonal antibodies targeting cytokines (e.g. TNF inhibitors, anti-interleukin-1 [IL-1], anti-IL-6 [tocilizumab or sarilumab]) or cells (e.g. abatacept) im the 4 weeks prior to screening 12. Received moniclonal antibodies targeting B-cell (e.g. rituximab and including any targeting multiple cell lines including B-cells) in the 23 month prior to screening 13. Received other immunosuppressants in the 4 weeks prior to screening and in the judgement of the investigator, the risk of immunosuppression with baricitinib is larger thatn the risk of COVID-19 14. Received ≥ 20 mg/day of prednisolone or equivalent for ≥14 consecutive days in the 4 weeks prior to screening. 15. Use of probenecid that cannot be discontinued at study enrollment. 16. Have diagnosis of current active tuberculosis (TB) or, if known, latent TB treated for less than 4 weeks with appropriate anti-tuberculosis therapy per local guidelines (by history only, no screening required). 17. Suspected serious, active bacterial, fungal, viral, or other infection (besides COVID-19) that in the opinion of the investigator could constitute a risk when taking investigational product. 18. Have received any live vaccine (that is, live attenuated) within 4 weeks before screening, or intend to receive a live vaccine (or live attenuated) during the study. Note: Use of non-live (inactivated) vaccinations is allowed for all subjects. 19. Have a history of VTE (deep vein thrombosis [DVT] or pulmonary embolism [PE]) within 12 weeks prior to screening or have a history of recurrent (>1) VTE (DVT/PE). 20. Immunocompromised patients, patients with a chronic medical condition, or those taking a medication that cannot be discontinued at enrollment, who, in the judgment of PI, are at increased risk for serious infections or other safety concerns given the study products.

E.5 End points |
E.5.1 | Primary end point(s) |
Primary endpoints: Day of recovery is defined as the first day on which the subject satisfies one of the following three categories from the ordinal scale: Hospitalised, not requireing supplemental oxygen - no longer requires ongiong medical care Not hospitalised, limitation on activities and/or requiering home oxygen Not hospitalised, no limitations on activities Recovery is evaluated up until Day 29 Key Secondary: Death Hospitalised on invasive mechanical ventilation or ECMO Hospitalised on non-invasive ventilation or high flow oxygen devices Hospitalised, requiring supplemental oxygen Hospitallised, not requiring supplemental oxygen - requiring ongoing medical care (COVID-19 related or otherwise) Hospitalised, not requiring supplemental oxygen - no longer requires ongoing medical care Not hospitalised, limitation on activities and/or requiring home oxygen Not hospitalised, no limitations on activities

|
E.5.1.1 | Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point |
Subjects will be assessed daily while hospitalised. If the subjects discharged from the hospital they will have a study visit at Days 15, 22 and 29. For discharged subjects, it is preferred that the Day 15 and 29 visits are in person to obtain safety laboratory tests and (for consenting subjects) OP swab and blood (serum only) samples for secondary research as well as clinical outcome data. The day 22 vist is conducted by phone
