  1. *Percentages exclude patients with a missing assessment; **Number of organ failures (SOFA score components > 1); Reported in > 1 patient overall; COPD, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. Note: One patient in AZD9773 cohort 1 was recorded as having no organ failure as study drug was administered outside the protocol-defined time limit. However, this resulted from a data entry error that was not amended in the clinical database; the patient did in fact receive study drug within the defined time limit. One patient in AZD9773 cohort 3 was recorded as having no organ failure as they received study drug outside the protocol-defined time limit; inclusion of this patient was a protocol deviation
