Brief Summary: The goal of this single center, double-blinded, placebo-controlled, and randomized Phase 1 trial is to determine if i.v. citicoline is safe and efficacious compared to i.v. saline/control in adults presenting with SARS CoV-2 infection complicated by acute hypoxemic respiratory failure. The main questions it aims to answer: * Is citicoline safe in this patient population? * Does citicoline have a benefit in terms of improving oxygenation? * Does citicoline reduce overall severity of illness as reflected by standardized scales. Patients will be assigned to i.v. treatment with citicoline or saline twice daily for 5 consecutive days. SpO2/FiO2 ratios will be recorded daily as per standard clinical practice to compare citicoline treatments at three different doses to placebo.
Detailed Description: SCARLET is a single center, double-blinded, placebo-controlled, and randomized Phase 1 trial of i.v. citicoline in adult patients of any sex, gender, age, or ethnicity who are present with acute hypoxemic respiratory failure due to SARS CoV-2 infection. The goals are safety over a range of doses based on the number of treatment related adverse events as assessed by CTCAE v.5, and demonstration of efficacy as reflected by SpO2/FiO2 measured at day 3 in hospitalized COVID infected patients with acute hypoxemic respiratory failure, as defined by requiring at least 4 liters nasal cannula oxygen supplementation to maintain the SpO2 above 90%. The trial will enroll 20 patients per dose for 3 citicoline doses (1, 5, and 10 mg/kg/day) along with 20 placebo-treated controls.
