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

Condition or disease Intervention/treatment Phase

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.

Arm Intervention/treatment
Experimental: Artesunate
Subjects will be randomized Artesunate vs Imatinib vs Infliximab vs standard of care
Drug: Artesunate
2.4 mg/kg at 0 hours, 12 hours, 24 hours, and then daily for a total of 7 days plus standard of care

Experimental: Imatinib

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

Experimental: Dexamethasone
Subjects will be randomized between Dexamethasone vs standard of care.
Drug: Dexamethasone
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

Experimental: LSALT Peptide

No Intervention: Control (Standard Care)
This arm will receive standard supportive care guidelines for COVID-19. It is expected to vary regionally and may change throughout the trial based on new and emerging data on best care guidelines for patients.



Primary Outcome Measures :
  1. Randomization WHO- Mortality [ Time Frame: 28 days ]

  3. Randomization LSALT- Respiratory support [ Time Frame: 28 days ]
    Number of days respiratory support free days


Secondary Outcome Measures :
  1. Evaluation of the clinical effectiveness of study drugs [ Time Frame: 24 months ]
    To be compared to the control arm on duration of hospitalization

  2. Need for invasive mechanical ventilation [ Time Frame: 24 months ]
  3. CU admission, hospital and ICU length of stay, days alive and free of vasopressors, ventilation, and renal replacement therapy (RRT [ Time Frame: 24 months ]
  4. Mortality [ Time Frame: 12 months ]

Individual Participant Data (IPD) Sharing Statement:
Plan to Share IPD: Yes
Plan Description:

As per World Health Organization policies on data sharing in a Public Health Emergency, any clinical trial outcome data will be shared at the earliest possible opportunity. In addition, given the nature of this protocol, being performed across regions, the DSMB may access other regions trials, and possibly recommend alterations in study design based on accumulating data, through a centralized data repository being built under the auspices of the World Health Organization.

Data Sharing for Secondary Research Data from this study may be used for secondary research. All of the individual subject data collected during the trial will be made available after de-identification through expert determination. The SAP and Analytic Code will also be made available. This data will be available immediately following publication, with no end date, as part of data sharing requirements from journals and funding agencies.
