- Change in distance walked on the six-minute walk test (6MWT) [ Time Frame: Baseline to Day 91 ]The 6MWT is a validated endpoint commonly used in clinical trial research
- Change in Modified Borg Dyspnoea Scale (mBDS) score [ Time Frame: Baseline to Day 91 ]The mBDS is an assessment tool that analyzes breathlessness under exertion
- Quality of Life assessment as collected using the SF-36 [ Time Frame: Baseline to Day 91 ]The SF-36 (v2) is a self-administered questionnaire containing 36 items that measures functional status, well-being and overall evaluation of health in 8 domains

Ages Eligible for Study: | 18 Years to 80 Years (Adult, Older Adult) |
Sexes Eligible for Study: | All |
Accepts Healthy Volunteers: | No |
Key Inclusion Criteria:
- Hospitalization for COVID-19 respiratory disease (with positive result of a molecular RT-qPCR diagnostic test or SARS-CoV-2 RNA result) for at least 1-day within the last 42 days prior to screening, and requiring at least one of the listed treatment modalities: MV, ECMO, NIV, HFNO during hospitalization
- COVID-19 pneumonia findings on imaging (chest X-ray or CT Scan) with a minimum of two lung lobes involvement
- Able to bear weight and ambulate a minimum of 10 m distance (use of inhaled oxygen permitted)
- Shortness of breath ≥ grade 3 on mBDS dyspnea scale and not requiring MV, ECMO, NIV, and/or HFNO (nasal O2 is allowed) for at least 72 hours before screening
Key Exclusion Criteria:
- Pre-existing chronic respiratory condition(s), obstructive or restrictive, for which the patient is actively taking concomitant medication are excluded. Patients with history of Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis (IPF), lung cancer, pulmonary arterial hypertension, other interstitial lung diseases, severe cardiac insufficiency (grade IV) are excluded irrespective of whether they are actively being medicated for those conditions or not.
- Pre-existing co-morbid conditions preventing outcome assessments, e.g., neurological, medical, orthopedic injury/disability, disease or condition that would prevent ability to transfer and walk for 6 minutes, prior to confirmed COVID-19 diagnosis
- Unstable angina or myocardial infarction in the last month prior to screening
- Patients on MV, ECMO, NIV, and/or HFNO within the last 72 hours prior to screening
