Accepts healthy volunteers: no
Allocation: RANDOMIZED
Intervention model: PARALLEL
Primary purpose: TREATMENT

Brief summary: The purpose of this study is to determine if therapeutic dose anticoagulation (experimental group) improves 30-day mortality in participants with COVID-19 compared to those patients receiving the intermediate dose prophylaxis (control group). Following screening, subjects will be randomized 1:1 to intermediate dose prophylaxis or therapeutic dose anticoagulation treatment arms.Treatment will continue for 28 days, followed by a 6 month follow-up period.


Eligibility criteria: Inclusion Criteria:

* Age \>18 years old
* COVID-19 positive on (RT-PCR) nasopharyngeal swab, or suspected COVID-19 infection with detectable SARS-CoV-2 IgG or IgM.
* Intensive care unit (ICU) patient or non-ICU patient on invasive mechanical ventilation, BiPAP, 100% non-rebreather mask, or high flow oxygen or supplemental oxygen of at least 4 liters per minute nasal cannula.
* D dimer level greater than 700 ng/mL (3 times the upper limit of normal).

Exclusion Criteria:

* Objectively documented deep vein thrombosis or pulmonary embolism
* Patients in whom there is very high suspicion for pulmonary embolism and are on full-dose anticoagulation as per the treating physician
* Platelets \<30,000 not due to disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC), based on the International Society of Thrombosis and Haemostasis (ISTH) criteria and American Society of Hematology (ASH) Frequently Asked Questions
* Active bleeding that poses a contraindication to therapeutic anticoagulation in the opinion of the investigator.
* History of bleeding diathesis (e.g., hemophilia, severe von Willebrand disease, severe thrombocytopathy)
* History of intracranial hemorrhage in the last 90 days
* History of ischemic stroke in the past 2 weeks
* Major neurosurgical procedure in the past 30 days
* Cardiothoracic surgery in the past 30 days
* Intra-abdominal surgery in the past 30 days
* Intracranial malignancy
* Patients who require therapeutic anticoagulation for other reasons like atrial fibrillation, deep venous thrombosis, pulmonary embolism, or antiphospholipid syndrome.
