Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome SARS-CoV-2 | Drug: PLN-74809 Drug: Placebo | Phase 2 |
Approximately 36 participants will be enrolled sequentially into 3 cohorts. Within each cohort of 12 participants, 9 will be randomized to PLN-74809 and 3 will be randomized to placebo (3:1 ratio).
- In Part 1, approximately 12 participants will be randomized to Dose level 1 of PLN-74809 or placebo QD
- In Part 2, approximately 12 participants will be randomized to Dose level 2 of PLN-74809 or placebo QD
- In Part 3, approximately 12 participants will be randomized to Dose level 3 of PLN-74809 or placebo QD
