Reparixin 1200 mg TID as add-on to SoC to Limit Disease Progression in Hospitalised Patients With COVID-19 and Other Community-Acquired Pneumonia. A Multicentre, Randomised, Double-blinded, Placebo-controlled, Phase III Trial (REPAVID-22)

REP0321

Primary objective: - To evaluate the efficacy of oral reparixin versus standard care alone in limiting disease progression in adult patients hospitalised for infectious pneumonia acquired in the community (CAP), including COVID-19. Secondary objectives: - To determine the effect of reparixin on several disease severity/progression measures including recovery, ventilatory free days and mortality. Safety objectives: - To evaluate the safety of oral reparixin versus placebo in the specific clinical setting.
