SAE=serious adverse event; AE=adverse event; MedDRA=Medical Dictionary for Regulatory Activities; SOC=System Organ Class.

a

P-value for comparing infusion reactions between treatment groups from Cochran-Mantel-Haenszel tests, stratified by disease severity at baseline.

b

Infusion adjustments are not mutually exclusive, see Table S17 for mutually exclusive representation.

c

Odds ratio for experiencing the event, aviptadil vs. placebo. Logistic regression model with 1 indicator for treatment group, stratified by disease severity at baseline. P-values for treatment group comparisons for select components from separate similar logistic regression models.

d

Any grade 3/4 hypotension during infusion, any organ failure report of hypotension with vasopressor use, any grade 3/4 AE, SAE, or death with MedDRA PT for hypotension, shock, shock haemorrhagic, distributive shock

e

Any grade 3/4 AE report if diarrhea. Per protocol, infusion-related diarrhea events excluded unless event led to discontinuation of blinded aviptadil.

f

Any grade 3/4 AE, SAE, or death with MedDRA Cardiac SOC, and any organ failure report of myocardial infarction, congestive heart failure III/IV, or atrial/ventricular tachyarrhythmia

g

Any grade 3/4 AE, SAE, or death with MedDRA PT for acute kidney injury, and organ failure report of new renal replacement therapy. Limited to patients without dialysis at baseline, Aviptadil= 213 and Placebo= 223

h

Any grade 3/4 AE, SAE, or death with MedDRA PT for pneumomediastinum or pneumothorax.

i

Hazard ratio for time to first event, aviptadil vs. placebo. Cox proportional hazards regression model with 1 indicator for treatment group stratified by disease severity. P-values for treatment group comparisons for select components from separate similar logistic regression models.
