Inclusion Criteria

  • Master Protocol Number: 2.0 dated 01 November 2021:
  • Participants are eligible to be included in the study only if all the following general inclusion (GI) criteria apply:
  • GI1. = 18 years of age
  • GI2. Laboratory-confirmed SARS-CoV-2 infection (new infection or reinfection) as determined by PCR not more than 14 days old
  • GI3. Admitted to hospital
  • GI4. Informed consent by the participant or legally authorized representative.
  • GI5A: Moderate disease state defined as hospitalised patients without oxygen therapy or oxygen by mask or nasal prongs needed, or
  • GI5B: Severe/critical disease state defined as fulfilliing at least one of the following criteria:
  • 1.SpO2<90% on room air, or
  • 2.SpO2 90-94% with a downwards trend and/or signs of respiratory distress*, or
  • 3.Need of oxygen by NIV (CPAP, BIPAP), high flow or non-rebreather mask, or
  • 4.Need of mechanical ventilation/ECMO
  • *persistently increased respiratory rate, use of accessory muscles, inability to complete full sentences. Clinical judgement must be applied to determine whether a low oxygen saturation is indicative of disease progression or severity or is habitual for a given patient (i.e., with underlying chronic lung disease).
  • NIV=non-invasive ventilation. CPAP= Continuous Positive Airway Pressure, BPAP= Bi-level Positive Airway Pressure, ECMO = Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation.
  • Additional inclusion criteria are given in the intervention-specific sub-protocols.
  • Baricitinib specific protocol v. 2.0 dated 01 November 2021:
  • All participants must be eligible according to the master protocol inclusion criteria (SolidAct Part B).
  • Only the general inclusion criteria (GI) for severe/critical COVID-19 are applicable:
  • GI1.=18 years of age
  • GI2.Laboratory-confirmed SARS-CoV-2 infection (new infection or reinfection) as determined by PCR in any specimen not more than 9 days old
  • GI3.Admitted to hospital
  • GI4.Informed consent by the participant or legally authorized representative.
  • GI5B: Severe/critical disease state defined as fulfilling at least one of the following criteria:
  • 1.SpO2<90% on room air, or
  • 2.SpO2 90-94% with a downwards trend and/or signs of respiratory distress*, or
  • 3.Need of oxygen by NIV (CPAP, BIPAP), high flow or non-rebreather mask, or
  • 4.Need of mechanical ventilation/ECMO
  • *persistently increased respiratory rate, use of accessory muscles, inability to complete full sentences. Clinical judgement must be applied to determine whether a low oxygen saturation is indicative of disease progression or severity or is habitual for a given patient (i.e., with underlying chronic lung disease).
  • NIV=non-invasive ventilation. CPAP= Continuous Positive Airway Pressure, BPAP= Bi-level Positive Airway Pressure, ECMO = extracorporeal membrane oxygenation.
  • In addition, the following specific inclusion criterion applies to
  • immunocompromised patients:
  • SI-01. Immunocompromised patients are eligible only if they have
  • elevation of 2 or more inflammatory markers above the following
  • -Ferritin = 700 ug/l
  • -LDH = 400 U/L
  • -CRP =75 mg/dL
  • Immunocompromised patients are defined as the presence of at least
  • one of the following conditions:
  • 1. Hematological malignancy or pre-malignancy, except acute leukemia
  • or history of lymphoma
  • 2. Organ transplant recipients, except recipients of bone marrow or
  • solid organ transplant last 6 months, or with transplant rejection last 6
  • 3. HIV positive with CD4 count < 350 cells and on stable antiretroviral
  • 4. Primary immunodeficiency

Exclusion Criteria

  • Master Protocol Number 2.0 dated 1 Nov 2021:
  • Participants are excluded from the study if any of the following general exclusion criteria apply:
  • GE1.Anticipated transfer to another non-trial hospital within 72 hours
  • Baricitinib specific protocol v. 2.0 dated 1 Nov 2021:
  • GE1. Anticipated transfer to another non-trial hospital within 72 hours.
  • In addition, participants are excluded from being eligible for the intervention cohort if any of the additional specific exclusion (SE) criteria below apply:
  • SE-01. Patients receiving Janus kinase (JAK) inhibitors (including
  • baricitinib) for any indication at screening.
  • SE-20. Have received tocilizumab of sarilumab for any indication 4 weeks prior to screening.
  • Note: Tocilizumab as rescue therapy will be allowed in patients with
  • clinical progression after inclusion, see section 6.8 concomitant
  • medication. If tocilizumab or other immunosuppressive rescue therapy is
  • started, IMP should be discontinued.
  • SE-21. Patients with recent changes in immunosuppressive therapy
  • that could interfere with the potential effect of baricitinib.
  • - Recipients of bone marrow transplant or solid organ transplant last 6
  • months, or with transplant rejection last 6 months, should not be
  • - Organ transplant recipients receiving triple immunosuppression can
  • only be included if the anti-metabolite (mycophenolic acid or mTOR
  • inhibitor) has been temporarily discontinued per clinical practice. IMP
  • should be discontinued once triple immunosuppression is restarted.
  • SE-22. Any medical condition that in the opinion of the investigator
  • poses an inacceptable risk of serious infection or aggravation of the
  • medical condition by participating in the trial.
  • Note: Patients with acute leukemia or history of lymphoma should not be
  • included. Cancer patients under active treatment, HIV positive
  • individuals with detectable HIV-RNA, or other patient group associated
  • with high risk of serious infection or aggravation of the medical
  • condition should only be included if, in the judgement of the
  • investigator, the potential benefit outweighs the potential risk.
  • SE-03. Have received dexamethasone 6 mg daily (or alternative
  • regimens with equivalent of corticosteroids) for more than 4 days prior
  • to screening as part of SoC for severe/critical COVID-19
  • SE-04. Had COVID-related symptoms > 14 days or hospitalized > 7 days.
  • SE-05. Strong inhibitors of organic anion transporter 3 [OAT3], (e.g. probenecid) that cannot be discontinued at study entry.
  • SE-07. Have received any live vaccine within 4 weeks before screening, or intend to receive a live vaccine during the study (until day 90 (+/- 14 days)).
  • o Note: Use of non-live (inactivated) vaccinations, including COVID-19 vaccinations, is allowed for all participants.
  • SE-08. Are using or will use extracorporeal blood purification (EBP) device to remove proinflammatory cytokines from the blood such as a cytokine absorption or filtering device, for example, CytoSorb®.
  • SE-09. Have diagnosis of current active tuberculosis (TB) or, if known, latent TB treated for less than 4 weeks with appropriate anti-tuberculosis therapy per local guidelines (by history only, no screening tests required).
  • SE-10. Suspected serious, active bacterial, fungal, viral, or other
  • infection (besides COVID-19) that in the opinion of the investigator
  • could constitute a risk when taking investigational product.
  • SE-12. Have a history of venous thromboembolism (VTE) (deep vein thrombosis [DVT] and/or pulmonar
