Summary
This study aims to address the following objectives: 1. To determine the efficacy of IC14, an anti-CD14 chimeric monoclonal antibody, in patients hospitalized with respiratory disease and hypoxemia due to SARS-CoV-2, in terms of improving the time to resolution of disease. 2. To determine the efficacy of IC14 in reducing the severity of respiratory disease in patients hospitalized with respiratory disease due to SARS-CoV-2. 3. To determine the safety of IC14 in patients hospitalized with respiratory disease due to SARS-CoV-2.

positive RT-PCR test for SARS-CoV-2 within 7 days of screening

- Radiologic findings compatible with diagnosis of SARS-CoV-2 pulmonary infection

- Hypoxemia as defined by any of the following:
