  • proven or high suspicion of SARS-CoV-2 infection and,
  • requiring oxygen supplementation defined as:
  • SpO2 ≤ 92% regardless of supplemental oxygen (ie on room air or on oxygen), or
  • SpO2 ≥ 92% on supplemental O2 and in the opinion of the Investigator it is not safe to decrease or remove the supplemental oxygen

  • Methemoglobin \> 3%
  • Evidence of severe multi organ failure
  • Use of assisted ventilation prior to initiation of iNO
  • Pregnancy or positive pregnancy test pre-dose
  • Open tracheostomy
  • Chronic use of a nitric oxide donor agent such as nitroglycerin or drugs known to increase methemoglobin such as lidocaine, prilocaine, benzocaine, nitroprusside, isosorbide, or dapsone at screening
  • History or clinical evidence of systolic heart failure, left ventricular dysfunction (LVEF \<40%)
  • Subjects reporting massive hemoptysis associated with the current illness or with radiologically proven pulmonary embolus
