Those who fall under the following at screening:
- Patients identified as moderate: Oxygen saturation in the atmosphere (SpO2) >93% (to be confirmed with respiratory rate ≥20/min or pulse rate ≥90 beats/min secondarily)
- Patients identified as severe: Oxygen saturation in the atmosphere (SpO2) ≤93% or PaO2/FiO2 <300 (respiratory rate ≥30/min or pulse rate ≥125 beats/min secondarily)

Breathing disorder that requires treatment of one or more of the following: Oxygen therapy using high-flow nasal cannula (HFNC), Noninvasive positive pressure ventilation (NIV), invasive mechanical ventilation, ECMO, Clinical diagnosis of respiratory failure
-
Shock (Systolic <90mmHg or diastolic <60mmHg, or in case need a blood pressure booster)
-
Multiple organ failure
-
-
Patients with pneumonia other than due to the novel coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2) infection (e.g., influenza virus pneumonia, bacterial pneumonia, and fungal pneumonia)
-

-
Pregnant women
-
Men or women of childbearing potential who are planning to become pregnant or do not agree to use one or more of the clinically appropriate methods of contraception below from the first day until 120 days after the last day of investigational product administration
① Surgical infertility (e.g., bilateral tubal ligation, vasectomy)
② Hormonal contraceptives (Hormone releasing IUD, implantable form, patch, oral hormone)
③ Double-barrier method (concomitant use of two of the following: IUD, male or female condom, contraceptive diaphragm, contraceptive sponge, cervical cap, spermicide) Periodic abstinence (e.g., calendar, ovulation date, basal body temperature, post-ovulation methods) and coitus interruptus are not permitted as appropriate contraceptive methods, and effective contraceptive methods must be kept being used during the course of the clinical study.
-

-
Those who administered other investigational products within 30 days prior to the screening visit
-
Others who have been determined to be ineligible to participate in the clinical study according to the investigator's medical opinion
