1 A Prospective, Randomized, Open-label, Interventional Study to Investigate the Efficacy of Complement C5 Inhibition With Zilucoplan® in Improving Oxygenation and short-and Long-term Outcome of COVID-19 Patients With Acute Hypoxic Respiratory Failure

The study is a randomized controlled, open-label trial comparing subcutaneous Zilucoplan® with standard of care to standard of care alone. In the active group, Zilucoplan® will be administered subcutaneously once daily for 14 days or till discharge from the hospital, whichever comes first. The hypothesis of the proposed intervention is that Zilucoplan® (complement C5 inhibitor) has profound effects on inhibiting acute lung injury post COVID-19, and can promote lung repair mechanisms, that lead to a 25% improvement in lung oxygenation parameters. This hypothesis is based on experiments performed in mice showing that C5a blockade can prevent mortality and prevent ARDS in mice with post-viral acute lung injury. Eligible patients include patients with confirmed COVID-19 infection suffering from hypoxic respiratory failure defined as O2 saturation below 93% on minimal 2l/min O2 therapy and/or ratio PaO2/FiO2 below 350.
