- Change in the proportion of patients alive and free from respiratory failure [ Time Frame: 28 Days ]To determine if the reduction in TMPRSS2 activity via direct inhibition with Camostat mesilate combined with standard of care (SOC) treatment will change the proportion of patients alive and free from respiratory failure at Day 28 in SARS-CoV-2 as compared to SOC treatment with placebo.
- Change in the proportion of patients alive and free of ventilator use or ECMO [ Time Frame: 28 Days ]To determine if reduction in TMPRSS2 activity via direct inhibition with Camostat mesilate combined with SOC treatment will change the proportion of patients alive and free of ventilator use or ECMO at Day 28 as compared to SOC treatment combined with placebo.
- Mortality Rate [ Time Frame: 28 and 56 Days ]To determine if the combination of Camostat mesilate combined with SOC treatment will result in a changed mortality rate at 28 and 56 days as compared to SOC treatment combined with placebo.
- Clinical Change [ Time Frame: 14 and 28 Days ]Clinical change will be defined as a 2 or more point decease on the WHO ordinal scale. Time to clinical improvement will be calculated as the number of days from study entry until the earliest date of clinical change.
- Adverse Events [ Time Frame: up to 56 days ]Analyses for safety will include all participants who are randomized and received at least 1 dose of study treatment. Participants will be grouped according to the treatment to which they were randomized.
