Primary outcomePrimary: Number of Participants With an Emergency Room Visit or Hospitalization, or Death by Day 28 — 21; 16 Participants
Summary
The purpose of this research is to understand if the study drug, also called sargramostim or Leukine®, can help prevent the worsening of COVID-19 when the study drug is inhaled. This study will also help researchers understand if inhaled sargramostim can help prevent visits to the emergency room or hospitalization, or death.

- Gastrointestinal symptoms (e.g., nausea, vomiting, diarrhea)
- New onset or worsening shortness of breath or difficulty breathing
- Nasal congestion or runny nose
- New loss of taste (ageusia) and/or smell (anosmia). Note: any of these symptoms (ageusia, anosmia) alone or in combination cannot be used as the SOLE qualifying symptoms for enrollment.
- At higher risk for progression to more severe COVID-19
- Age ≥ 60 years
- Age 18-59 years with a clinically stable medical history of at least 1 or more of the following conditions that could lead to severe COVID-19:

- Obesity with BMI ≥ 30 kg/m2
- Cardiovascular disease
- Sickle cell disease or thalassemia
- Diabetes mellitus being managed with concomitant medications
- Hypertension being managed with concomitant medications
- Chronic kidney disease
- Oxygen saturation by pulse oximeter > 93% on room air. Note: at altitudes of >4000 feet above sea level, oxygen saturation by pulse oximeter > 91% on room air is permitted
- Negative pregnancy test (if woman of childbearing potential)
- Females of childbearing potential and males with female partners of childbearing potential must agree to use acceptable contraceptive methods from screening to Day 28
- The patient (or legally authorized decision maker) must give informed consent
Exclusion Criteria
- Hospitalized patients
- Patients who have received or are receiving other treatments that are not approved/authorized by the relevant regulatory authority for the treatment of patients with mild or moderate COVID-19 in an outpatient setting
- Patients enrolled in interventional clinical trials for other experimental therapies
- Patients on chronic oxygen supplementation due to cardiopulmonary or other conditions
- Patients with unstable comorbid conditions (e.g., decompensated congestive heart failure, COPD with exacerbation, current angina pectoris, uncontrolled diabetes mellitus, uncontrolled hypertension, uncontrolled asthma)
- Patients with severe pulmonary comorbid conditions, including systemic steroid-dependent asthma, systemic steroid-dependent COPD, oxygen-dependent COPD, lung transplant, or cystic fibrosis
- Patients who have received highly immunosuppressive therapy (to include systemic corticosteroids) or anti-cancer combination chemotherapy within 24 hours prior to first dose of study drug
- Patients with known or suspected intolerance or hypersensitivity to sargramostim, or any component of the product
- Patients who have previously experienced severe and unexplained side effects during aerosol delivery of any kind of medical product
- Pregnant or breastfeeding females
- Patients who, in the opinion of the Investigator, will not be able to comply with all the study procedures and visits as outlined in the schedule of events, including follow-up
