Primary Outcome Measures :
  1. All-cause mortality [ Time Frame: Within 28 days after randomisation ]
    For each pairwise comparison with the 'no additional treatment' arm, the primary objective is to provide reliable estimates of the effect of study treatments on all-cause mortality.


Secondary Outcome Measures :
  1. Duration of hospital stay [ Time Frame: Within 28 days and up to 6 months after the main randomisation ]
    To assess the effects of study treatment on number of days stay in hospital

  2. Composite endpoint of death or need for mechanical ventilation or ECMO [ Time Frame: Within 28 days and up to 6 months after the main randomisation ]
    Among patients not on invasive mechanical ventilation at baseline, the number of patients with a composite endpoint of death or need for invasive mechanical ventilation or ECMO.


Other Outcome Measures:
  1. Need for (and duration of) ventilation [ Time Frame: Within 28 days and up to 6 months after the main randomisation ]
    To assess the effects of study treatment on number of patients who needed any ventilation and (for invasive mechanical ventilation) the number of days it was required

  2. Need for renal replacement [ Time Frame: Within 28 days and up to 6 months after the main randomisation ]
    To assess the effects of study treatment on number of patients who needed renal replacement therapy

  3. Number of patients who had thrombotic events [ Time Frame: Within 28 days and up to 6 months after the main randomisation ]
    To assess the effects of study treatment on number of patients who had thrombotic events, defined as either (i) acute pulmonary embolism; (ii) deep vein thrombosis; (iii) ischaemic stroke; (iv) myocardial infarction; or (v) systemic arterial embolism.

Sexes Eligible for Study:   All
Accepts Healthy Volunteers:   No
Criteria

Inclusion Criteria:

  • (i) Hospitalised
  • (ii) Viral pneumonia syndrome

In general, viral pneumonia should be suspected when a patient presents with:

  1. typical symptoms (e.g. influenza-like illness with fever and muscle pain, or respiratory illness with cough and shortness of breath); and
  2. compatible chest X-ray findings (consolidation or ground-glass shadowing); and
  3. alternative causes have been considered unlikely or excluded (e.g. heart failure, bacterial pneumonia).

However, the diagnosis remains a clinical one based on the opinion of the managing doctor.

  • (iii) SARS-CoV-2 infection (clinically suspected or laboratory confirmed)
  • (iv) No medical history that might, in the opinion of the attending clinician, put the patient at significant risk if he/she were to participate in the trial

Exclusion Criteria:

  • If the attending clinician believes that there is a specific contra-indication to one of the active drug treatment arms (see Protocol Appendix 2; section 8.2 and Appendix 3; section 8.3 for children) or that the patient should definitely be receiving one of the active drug treatment arms then that arm will not be available for randomisation for that patient. For patients who lack capacity, an advanced directive or behaviour that clearly indicates that they would not wish to participate in the trial would be considered sufficient reason to exclude them from the trial.
