Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
The proportion of subjects in the study groups in whom, during the first 7 days after drug administration, one of the following events developed according to the laboratory-instrumental methods or on the basis of a clinical presentation7 days

Laboratory-instrumental methods or on the basis of a clinical presentation:

* development of acute renal injury stage 2 or higher, assessed by the AKIN (Acute Kidney Injury Network) scale;

* development of myocardial dysfunction or acute coronary pathology;

* development of thrombolytic complications;

* development of a cytokine storm;

* development of an acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS);

* an increase in the degree of lung lesion, as determined by the CT;

* negative dynamics of CRP with an increase in the indicator by more than 30 % compared to the baseline value;

* an increase in the D-dimer indicator by more than 2 times compared with the corresponding indicator at the time of hospitalization;

* aggravation of clinical symptoms, as determined by the WHO Ordinal Scale, compared with the baseline value.

(Aggravation refers to a decrease in a WHO score by 1 point or more as compared to the value at Visit 1)

The dynamics of the decrease in points on the NEWS scale11 days (max. 28 days)

The dynamics of the decrease in points on the NEWS scale.

NEWS uses six physiological measurements: respiratory rate; oxygen saturation; temperature; systolic blood pressure; heart rate and level of consciousness. Each scores 0-3 and individual scores are added together for an overall score. An additional one points are added if the patient is receiving oxygen therapy.

Higher scores mean a worse outcome.

Dynamical CRP, ferritin, D-dimer values10 days

Dynamical CRP, ferritin, D-dimer values.

Local laboratories of research centers will be used for laboratory tests and assessments.

After collecting and verification 100% values of laboratory parameters according to the Protocol from all local laboratories, the units of measurement will be unified before Statistical process control by valid formulas for transitions.
