What This Trial Is Studying

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effect of tozorakimab, as an add-on to SoC in patients with viral lung infection requiring supplemental oxygen, on the prevention of death or progression to IMV/ECMO.

Eligibility Snapshot
  • : * Adult participants ≥ 18 years old at the time of signing the informed consent form. * Patients hospitalised with viral lung infection. * Hypoxaemia requiring treatment with supplemental O2. Hypoxaemia is defined as: SpO2 ≤ 90% OR SpO2 ≤ 92% AND one or both of the following: Radiographic infiltrates by CXR/CT compatible with viral lung infection per investigator judgement. Use of accessory muscles of respiration or RR (respiratory rate) > 22. - Patient remains hypoxaemic at randomisation requiring treatment with supplemental oxygen.
