    Respiratory failure, is defined based on resource utilization of any of the following modalities: a) Endotracheal intubation and mechanical ventilation b) Oxygen delivered by high-flow nasal cannula (heated, humidified, oxygen delivered via reinforced nasal cannula at flow rates >20 L/min with fraction of delivered oxygen ≥0.5) c) Non-invasive positive pressure ventilation or continuous positive airway pressure d) Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation

    Measured: At Day 14

Secondary outcomes (18)
  1. Number of Participants With Adverse Events and Serious Adverse Events

    Measured: Screening to 28 (+3) days after last dose of acalabrutinib (for acalabrutinib + BSC participants) or to 38 (+3) days after randomization (for BSC alone participants)

  2. Percentage of Participants Alive and Free of Respiratory Failure at Day 28

    Respiratory failure, is defined based on resource utilization of any of the following modalities: a) Endotracheal intubation and mechanical ventilation b) Oxygen delivered by highflow nasal cannula (heated, humidified, oxygen delivered via reinforced nasal cannula at flow rates >20 L/min with fraction of delivered oxygen ≥0.5) c) Non-invasive positive pressure ventilation or continuous positive airway pressure d) Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation

    Measured: At Day 28

  3. Percent Change From Baseline in C-reactive Protein.

    Baseline is defined as the result obtained on the date of randomization. If no result was obtained on the date of randomization, the last result prior to the date of randomization is used.

    Percent change from baseline at Day X is calculated by multiplying the following result by 100%: (Day X value - Baseline value)/Baseline value.

    The mean of this result for all analyzed patients is taken to get the mean percent change from baseline.

    Measured: Days 3, 5, 7, 10, 14, 28

  4. Percent Change From Baseline in Ferritin

    Baseline is defined as the result obtained on the date of randomization. If no result was obtained on the date of randomization, the last result prior to the date of randomization is used.

    Percent change from baseline at Day X is calculated by multiplying the following result by 100%: (Day X value - Baseline value)/Baseline value.

    The mean of this result for all analyzed patients is taken to get the mean percent change from baseline.

    Measured: Days 3, 5, 7, 10, 14, 28

  5. Percent Change From Baseline in Absolute Lymphocyte Count

    Baseline is defined as the result obtained on the date of randomization. If no result was obtained on the date of randomization, the last result prior to the date of randomization is used.

    Percent change from baseline at Day X is calculated by multiplying the following result by 100%: (Day X value - Baseline value)/Baseline value.

    The mean of this result for all analyzed patients is taken to get the mean percent change from baseline.

    Measured: Days 3, 5, 7, 10, 14, 28

  6. Overall Survival

    Median overall survival, calculated using the Kaplan-Meier technique. Confidence interval for median overall survival (days) is derived based on Brookmeyer-Crowley method with log-log transformation.

  7. Percentage of Participants Alive and Discharged From ICU

    Measured: At Day 14 and at Day 28

  8. Time From Randomization to First Occurrence of Respiratory Failure or Death on Study Due to Any Cause

    Median time to first occurrence of respiratory failure or death, calculated using the Kaplan-Meier technique. Confidence interval for median overall survival (days) is derived based on Brookmeyer-Crowley method with log-log transformation.

    Measured: From randomization to 28 days after randomization.

  9. Number of Days Alive and Free of Respiratory Failure

    Respiratory failure, is defined based on resource utilization of any of the following modalities: a) Endotracheal intubation and mechanical ventilation b) Oxygen delivered by highflow nasal cannula (heated, humidified, oxygen delivered via reinforced nasal cannula at flow rates >20 L/min with fraction of delivered oxygen ≥0.5) c) Non-invasive positive pressure ventilation or continuous positive airway pressure d) Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation

    Measured: From randomization to 28 days after randomization.

For participants in hospital and experiencing respiratory failure at the time they withdraw from the study, days from last known status to Day 28 are counted as days with respiratory failure.

    Measured: From randomization to 28 days after randomization.

  11. Number of Days Hospitalized

    For this summary, the hospitalization must be considered clinically indicated to count as a day hospitalized.

    For participants who die (due to any cause) prior to Day 28, days from death to Day 28 are counted as days hospitalized.

  16. Time From Randomization to Clinical Improvement of at Least 2 Points on a 9-point Category Ordinal Scale

    9-point category ordinal scale: 0. * Uninfected, no clinical or virological evidence of infection

    1. Ambulatory, no limitation of activities
    2. Ambulatory, limitation of activities
    3. Hospitalized - mild disease, no oxygen therapy
    4. Hospitalized - mild disease, oxygen by mask or nasal prongs
    5. Hospitalized - severe disease, non-invasive ventilation or high flow oxygen
    6. Hospitalised - severe disease, intubation and mechanical ventilation
    7. Hospitalized - severe disease, ventilation and additional organ support, such as pressors, renal replacement therapy, extracorporeal membrane oxygenation
    8. Death

    Median time to first occurrence of respiratory failure or death, calculated using the Kaplan-Meier technique. Confidence interval for median overall survival (days) is derived based on Brookmeyer-Crowley method with log-log transformation.

    Measured: From randomization to 28 days after randomization.
