    Outcome Measures

    Primary Outcome Measures

    1. Incidence rate, characteristics, and severity of adverse reactions [up to 52 weeks]

      To evaluate the safety of GX-I7 in patients with COVID-19 (rating according to NCI CTCAE v5.0)

    2. Shift from baseline of vital sign [up to 52 weeks]

      The number of patients in vital sign shifted from normal or abnormal (NCS) to abnormal (CS)

    3. Shift from baseline of physical examination [up to 52 weeks]

      The number of patients in physical examination shifted from normal or abnormal (NCS) to abnormal (CS)

    4. Shift from baseline of hematology [up to 52 weeks]

      The number of patients in hematology shifted from normal or abnormal (NCS) to abnormal (CS)

    5. Shift from baseline of blood chemistry [up to 52 weeks]

      The number of patients in blood chemistry shifted from normal or abnormal (NCS) to abnormal (CS)

    6. Dose limiting toxicity (DLT) [up to 52 weeks]

      The incident rate of DLT

    Secondary Outcome Measures

    1. Absolute lymphocyte count (ALC) [up to 3 weeks]

      The change of absolute lymphocyte count from baseline

    2. RT-PCR for COVID-19 [up to 52 weeks]

      To evaluate the efficacy of GX-I7 in patients with COVID-19

    3. Assessment of clinical improvement by modified early warning score (MEWS) [up to 52 weeks]

      Changes of modified early warning score (MEWS) from the baseline after the IP administration [Low-risk (score 0) ~ high-risk (score 3)]

    4. Ordinal scale for clinical improvement (WHO) in each visit [up to 52 weeks]

      Changes of ordinal scale for clinical improvement (WHO) from the baseline after the IP administration [Uninfected 0 ~ Dead 8]

    5. The proportion of subjects who have progressed to death or a critical illness [up to 52 weeks]

      To evaluate the efficacy of GX-I7 in patients with COVID-19

    6. Immune repertoire [up to 52 weeks]

      Changes in the rate of different immune cell types and regulatory T cell in the blood after the IP administration
