For antiviral monoclonal antibodies, they must have been given for an earlier stage of the disease (including pre-exposure prophylaxis), outside a clinical trial, and there should be a documentation of objective clinical deterioration plus evidence of persisting positivity for SARS-CoV-2 in appropriate biological samples. Last dose of antiviral monoclonal antibodies should have been administered at least 1 week before randomisation.
  6. Patients receiving treatment with chloroquine or derivatives within 8 weeks before enrolment or during the study.
  7. Patients receiving treatment with strong cytochrome P450 3A4 (CYP3A4) inhibitors or inducers.
  8. Viral illness (other than COVID-19) requiring therapy, except for patients with treated and adequately controlled (undetectable) human immunodeficiency virus infection.
  9. Patients with uncontrolled known primary or secondary immunodeficiency, including chronic treatment with glucocorticoids (i.e., prednisone at a daily dose of >10 mg for >1 month, or another glucocorticoid at equipotent dose).

    • Need for an unreplaceable drug that prolongs QT and it is clearly associated with a known risk for torsades de pointes (TdP); in case of being already on treatment with these aforementioned drugs, a minimum of 4 half-lives of the drug is required before replacement (if feasible).
  11. Hypersensitivity to the active ingredient or any of the excipients (mannitol, macrogolglycerol hydroxystearate, and ethanol) or patients for whom dexamethasone, antihistamine H1/H2 or antiserotoninergic agents are contraindicated.

Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm
Intervention / Treatment
Experimental: Plitidepsin 1.5 mg arm
Patients will receive plitidepsin 1.5 mg/day intravenous (IV) in addition to dexamethasone on days 1 to 3.

Plitidepsin 2 mg powder is provided as a sterile, preservative-free, and white to off-white lyophilised powder/cake comprising 2 mg plitidepsin and mannitol in a single-dose, 10 mL clear type 1 glass vial.

Solvent for plitidepsin is provided as a sterile, preservative-free, clear, slightly viscous aqueous liquid (4 mL) containing macrogolglycerol ricinoleate and ethanol in a single-dose type 1 clear glass ampoule.
