Time to improvement in COVID-19 clinical status: defined as time (days) required from start of treatment to improvement of clinical status severe - moderate/mild or improvement from score 2-4 to ≥5 sustained without drop below 5 within 28 days from randomization, total follow-up period 29 days (Randomization Day 1 + 28 days follow up) per National Institute of Allergy \& Infectious Diseases (NIAID) ordinal scale graded: 1=Death; 2=Hospitalized, on invasive mechanical ventilation (IMV)/extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO); 3=Hospitalized, on non-invasive ventilation (NIV)/high flow oxygen devices; 4=Hospitalized, require supplemental oxygen; 5=Hospitalized, no supplemental oxygen, require medical care; 6=Hospitalized, no supplemental oxygen, don't require medical care; 7=Not hospitalized, limitation on activities \&/or require home oxygen; 8=Not hospitalized, no limitations on activities.
