Inclusion Criteria

Written informed consent obtained from subject or legally acceptable/authorized representative (LAR) or written investigator certification for deferred informed consent due to emergency situation, in compliance with all local legal requirements., Hospitalized, adult (= 18 years of age) subject (any gender)., Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) negative status measured by reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) test from a respiratory sample taken within 72 hours prior to randomization or by another rapid test from a respiratory sample taken at screening., C-reactive protein (CRP) = 70 mg/L within 24 hours prior to start of treatment with IMP., Diagnosis of active community-acquired pneumonia (CAP) before hospital-admission or within 48 hours after admission., Radiological (or other imaging technology) evidence consistent with active pneumonia must be available from routine SoC., Acute respiratory failure requiring IMV, defining sCAP, Treatment with IMP must be started between 1 and 12 hours after initiation of IMV., Subject must receive SoC treatment for sCAP according to applicable regional and global sCAP guidelines.

Exclusion Criteria
