  1. Baseline demographics were balanced across the Auxora and standard of care groups in arm A. In arm B, baseline characteristics were more variable due to the small sample size
  2. NA not available, SOC standard of care
  3. *Patients in arm A included those who were receiving low-flow supplemental oxygen at screening and were defined by regulatory guidance as having severe COVID-19 pneumonia
  4. †Patients in arm B were defined by regulatory guidelines as having critical COVID-19 pneumonia
