- To evaluate the effect of SAR443122 relative to the control arm on oxygenation status
- To evaluate the effect of SAR443122 relative to the control arm on total duration of supplemental oxygen requirement
- To evaluate the effect of SAR443122 relative to the control arm on length of ventilator support needed
- To evaluate the effect of SAR443122 relative to the control arm on laboratory markers of severe COVID-19
- To evaluate the effect of SAR443122 relative to the control arm on mortality
- To evaluate the effect of SAR443122 relative to the control arm on need for thrombolytic therapy
- To evaluate the effect of SAR443122 relative to the control arm on need for vasopressor treatment
- To evaluate the safety of SAR443122 as compared to the control arm up to End of Study
- To evaluate the effect of SAR443122 relative to the control arm on total duration without high flow supplemental oxygen requirements

Ages Eligible for Study: | 18 Years to 80 Years (Adult, Older Adult) |
Sexes Eligible for Study: | All |
Accepts Healthy Volunteers: | No |
Inclusion criteria:
- Participant must be ≥18 years and ≤80 years of age inclusive, at the time of signing the informed consent.
- Hospitalized (or documentation of a plan to admit to the hospital if the participant is in an emergency department) with evidence of COVID-19 lung disease diagnosed by chest radiograph, chest computed tomography or chest auscultation (rales, crackles) and with severe disease defined as follows: The participant requires supplemental oxygen administered by nasal cannula, simple face mask, or other similar oxygen delivery device (ie, increase in oxygen requirement following SARS-CoV-2 infection).
- SARS-CoV-2 infection confirmed by RT-PCR, or other commercial or public health assay in any specimen, within 3 weeks prior to randomization, and no alternative explanation for current clinical condition.
- At time of randomization, have demonstrated laboratory signs consistent with systemic inflammation.
- Male and/or female participants, including women of childbearing potential (WOCBP).
- Capable of giving signed informed consent.
Exclusion criteria:
- In the opinion of the investigator, unlikely to survive after 48 hours, or unlikely to remain at the investigational site beyond 48 hours
- Participants requiring use of invasive or non-invasive positive pressure ventilation at randomization.
- Presence of significant liver enzyme abnormalities, thrombocytopenia or anemia at screening.
- Any prior or concurrent use or plans to receive during the study period of immunomodulatory therapies (other than interventional drug) at screening.
- Use of chronic systemic corticosteroids for a non-COVID-19-related condition in a dose higher than prednisone 10 mg or equivalent per day at screening.
- Exclusion criteria related to tuberculosis (TB) and non-tuberculous mycobacterial (NTM) infections.
- Participants with suspected or known active systemic bacterial or fungal infections within 4 weeks of screening.
- Pregnant or breastfeeding women.
- In the opinion of the study investigator, might confound the results of the study or pose an undue risk to the safety of the participant.
