Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Time to Alleviation of COVID-19-related Symptoms by Day 30Day 30

Time to alleviation of COVID-19-related symptoms of cough, dyspnea, chills, feeling feverish, repeated shaking with chills, muscle pain, headache, sore throat, and new loss of taste or smell, defined as symptom-free for a continuous period of more than 24 hours (ie, later than 3 AM/PM assessments) by day 30

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Percentage of Patients With Subsequent Emergency Department Visit or Hospital Admission for Reasons Attributable to COVID-19 by Day 30Day 30

Assess whether treatment with ciclesonide MDI plus standard supportive care reduces the incidence of subsequent emergency department visits or hospital admissions for reasons attributable to COVID-19 compared with placebo plus standard supportive care in non-hospitalized patients with symptomatic COVID-19 infection

Percentage of Patients With Hospital Admission or Death by Day 30Day 30

Assess whether treatment with ciclesonide MDI (Metered Dose Inhaler) plus standard supportive care reduces the incidence of hospital admissions or death compared with placebo plus standard supportive care in non-hospitalized patients with symptomatic COVID-19 infection.

All-cause Mortality by Day 30Day 30

Assess whether treatment with ciclesonide MDI plus standard supportive care reduces all-cause mortality compared with placebo plus standard supportive care in non-hospitalized patients with symptomatic COVID-19 infection.

COVID-19-related Mortality by Day 30Day 30

Assess whether treatment with ciclesonide MDI plus standard supportive care reduces COVID-19-related mortality compared with placebo plus standard supportive care in non-hospitalized patients with symptomatic COVID-19 infection.

Percentage of Patients With Alleviation of COVID-19-related Symptoms Defined as Symptom-free for a Continuous Period of More Than 24 Hours (ie, Later Than 3 AM/PM Assessments) by Day 7, by Day 14, and by Day 30By day 30

Assess whether treatment with ciclesonide MDI plus standard supportive care increases the percentage of patients with alleviation of COVID 19-related symptoms of cough, dyspnea, chills, feeling feverish, repeated shaking with chills, muscle pain, headache, sore throat, and new loss of taste or smell compared with placebo plus standard supportive care in non-hospitalized patients with symptomatic COVID-19 infection.
