Overview
Brief Summary
The study is a prospective, randomized, placebo-controlled, single-blind phase 2 clinical study of the efficacy and safety of AMY-101, a potent C3 inhibitor, for the management of patients with ARDS caused by SARS-CoV-2 infection.
We will assess the efficacy and safety, as well as pharmacokinetics (PK), and pharmacodynamics (PD). The study will assess the impact of AMY-101 in patients with severe COVID19; specifically, it will assess the impact of AMY-101 1) on survival without ARDS and without oxygen requirement at day 21 and 2) on the clinical status of the patients at day 21.

Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
The proportion of patients who are alive, without evidence of ARDS (i.e. PaO2/FIO2 >300 mm Hg), who do not require any oxygen support (in room air).
Time Frame: 21 days
The proportion of patients assigned to each category, of a six-category ordinal scale.
Time Frame: 21 days
The clinical status is based on the following six-category ordinal scale: * 1: not hospitalised; * 2: hospitalised, not requiring supplemental oxygen; * 3: hospitalised, requiring supplemental oxygen; * 4: hospitalised, requiring nasal high-flow oxygen therapy, non-invasive mechanical ventilation, or both; * 5: hospitalised, requiring ECMO, invasive mechanical ventilation, or both; and * 6: death.
