This is a randomized, placebo-controlled, double-blind, multi-center, multi-national, phase III trial, to assess the efficacy and safety of trimodulin compared to placebo treatment, as adjunctive treatment to SoC in hospitalized subjects with sCAP receiving IMV.
Subjects will be randomized on a 1:1 basis to receive trimodulin or placebo, stratified by center. Investigational medicinal product (IMP) treatments will be blinded.
Subject will be administered IMP once daily on 5 consecutive days (day 1 through day 5) adjunctive to SoC. The subsequent follow-up phase comprises maximally 23 days (day 6 through day 28) followed by an end-of-follow-up visit/telephone call on day 29 [+3]. For subjects still in the hospital (trial site) after day 29, an extended follow-up is conducted until discharge or until day 90. For all subjects alive on day 29, a closing visit/telephone call on day 91 [+10] will be done.
