Brief Summary:
This is a phase II study to test adenosine efficacy for down-regulation of the overwhelming inflammation of COVID-19 in the lungs as reflected by clinical recovery of lung function; resolution of clinically relevant markers of lung function, and resolution of systemic markers of inflammation and coagulation.

Condition or disease Intervention/treatment Phase
Acute Respiratory Distress Drug: Adenosine Phase 2
