  2. Number of Participants With Treatment-Emergent Adverse Events (TEAEs), Adverse Events of Special Interests (AESIs), TEAEs Leading to Treatment Discontinuation and Serious TEAEs (SAEs) According to NCI-CTCAE Version 5.0 [Day 1 through Day 60]

    Adverse Event (AE) was defined any untoward medical occurrence in a participant administered with a study drug, which does not necessarily had a causal relationship with this treatment. Serious AE was defined AE that resulted in any of the following outcomes: death; life threatening; persistent/significant disability/incapacity; initial/prolonged inpatient hospitalization; congenital anomaly/birth defect. TEAEs: TEAEs was defined as events with onset date or worsening during the on treatment period. TEAEs included serious TEAEs and non-serious TEAEs.

  3. Number of Participants With Clinically Significant Changes From Baseline in Laboratory Parameters [Day 1 through Day 28]

    Laboratory investigation included hematology and biochemistry. The number of participants with clinically significant changes from baseline in laboratory parameters were reported. Clinical significance was determined by the investigator.

  4. Number of Participants With Clinically Significant Changes From Baseline in 12-Lead Electrocardiogram (ECG) Measurements [Day 1 through Day 28]

    12-lead ECG recordings included rhythm, heart rate (as measured by RR interval), PR interval, QRS duration, and QT interval. 12-lead ECG recordings were obtained after the participants have rested for at least 10 minutes in semisupine position. Clinical significance was determined by the investigator. The number of participants with clinically significant changes from baseline in 12-lead ECG findings were reported.

  3. Time to Reach Peripheral Capillary Oxygen Saturation (SpO2) Greater Than or Equal to 94 Percent for at Least 24 Hours in Room Air [Day 1 through Day 28]

    SpO2 is an estimate of the amount of oxygen in the blood. It is the percentage of hemoglobin containing oxygen compared to the total amount of hemoglobin in the blood (that is, oxygenated hemoglobin versus oxygenated and non-oxygenated hemoglobin). SpO2 measured by pulse oximetry. The time to SPO2 greater than or equal to (>=) 94 percent (%) sustained for at least 24 hours in room air is reported in days.

    Time to ICU admission was defined as the time from first dose (Day 1) to the date/time of ICU admission, or death, whichever occurs first, in days. Event-free survival function for time to event (ICU admission or death) estimated via Kaplan-Meier method.

  6. Time to Non-Invasive Mechanical Ventilation [Day 1 through Day 28]

    Time to non-invasive mechanical ventilation was defined as the time from first dose (Day 1) to the date/time of clinical status >= 5, in days. Event-free survival function for time to event (Non-invasive mechanical ventilation or death) estimated via Kaplan-Meier method.

Hospitalized, mild disease: hospitalized, no oxygen therapy; 4. Hospitalized, mild disease: oxygen by mask or nasal prongs; 5. Hospitalized, severe disease: noninvasive ventilation or high-flow oxygen; 6. Hospitalized, severe disease: intubation and mechanical ventilation; 7. Hospitalized, severe disease: ventilation plus additional organ support for example: vasopressors, and ECMO; 8. Death

  7. Time to Invasive Mechanical Ventilation [Day 1 through Day 28]

    Time to invasive mechanical ventilation was defined as the time from first dose (Day 1) to the date/time of clinical status >= 6, in days.

Title Time to Reach Peripheral Capillary Oxygen Saturation (SpO2) Greater Than or Equal to 94 Percent for at Least 24 Hours in Room Air
Description SpO2 is an estimate of the amount of oxygen in the blood. It is the percentage of hemoglobin containing oxygen compared to the total amount of hemoglobin in the blood (that is, oxygenated hemoglobin versus oxygenated and non-oxygenated hemoglobin). SpO2 measured by pulse oximetry. The time to SPO2 greater than or equal to (>=) 94 percent (%) sustained for at least 24 hours in room air is reported in days.

Event-free survival function for time to event (Non-invasive mechanical ventilation or death) estimated via Kaplan-Meier method. Clinical status was based on data collected on the 'Ordinal Scale for Clinical Status and is assessed with the following ordinal scale: 0. Uninfected: no clinical or virological evidence of infection; 1. Ambulatory: no limitation of activities; 2. Ambulatory: limitation of activities; 3. Hospitalized, mild disease: hospitalized, no oxygen therapy; 4. Hospitalized, mild disease: oxygen by mask or nasal prongs; 5.
