Intervention(s):

TREATMENT SCHEME • An intravenous dose of 200 mg (8 vials of itolizumab) will be administered once the inclusion criteria are met. • A second dose, after 72 hours, will be administered if the patient still has signs of respiratory failure or macrophage activation syndrome. The treatment will be administered concomitant with the protocol tretaments approved by Ministry of Public Health

Outcomes and Timepoint

Section to complete information about primary and secondary outcomes including. It includes the metric or method of measurement used and, the time point for every outcome.

Primary outcome(s):

Reduction of deterioration of lung function (Patient rate without the need to increase FiO2 to keep SO2 stable and without the need for intubation and(or); Rate of patients decreasing positive pressure values at the end of exhalation (PPFE)). Measurement time: 7 days.

Key secondary outcomes:

1. Endo-tracheal intubation rate (rate of patients needing intubation). Measurement time: 7 days. 2. Non-invasive or invasive mechanical ventilation rate when respiratory failure occurs, or non-invasive mechanical ventilation failure (Rate of patients who need non-invasive mechanical ventilation (NIMV), Rate of patients who need invasive mechanical ventilation, Rate of patients with NIMV failure). Measurement time: At baseline and, at 48, 72, 120 and 168 hours of itolizumab administration. 3. Time of duration of mechanical ventilation or time to end of mechanical (Time from the start date of mechanical ventilation to the weaning date). Measurement time: Until mechanical ventilation is retired 4. Rate of patients deceased (proportion of patients deceased of the total of included patient within 14 days or once the hospitalary discharge is given). Measurement time: 14 days after use of the medicinal product. 5. Serum concentrations of IL1, IL6 and TNF alfa (in pg/ml according to the reference values of the commercial kits). Measurement time: At baseline and, at 48, 96 and 168 hours of itolizumab administration. 6.HSH score parameters (Temperature, visceromegaly, cytopenia, triglycerides, fibrinogen, ferritin, AAT (GOT)). Measurement time: at 48, 96 and 168 hours of itolizumab administration. 7. C-reactive protein, and absolute lymphocyte count (positive or negative). Measurement time: At baseline and, at 48, 72, 120 and 168 hours of itolizumab administration. 8. Adverse events related to treatment (according to the causality relationship and intensity. Measurement time: At before the administration of the antibody, during the administration and while the patient is hospitalized. 9. Hospitalization time (days in hospital from time to Itolizumab administration until hospitalary discharge or deceased). Measurement time: At the hospitalary discharge or deceased.
