The purpose of this study was to evaluate the efficacy and safety of brexanolone in participants on ventilator support for acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) due to COVID-19.
Drug: Brexanolone
Administered as IV infusion.
Other Name: Array
Drug: Placebo

Inclusion Criteria:
- Participant was confirmed positive for the novel coronavirus responsible for
SARS-CoV-2 (severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2) infection as determined
by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) at Screening
- Participant had a presumptive diagnosis of ARDS at Screening and partial pressure of
arterial oxygen (PaO2)/fraction of inspired oxygen (FiO2) (ratio of partial pressure
of arterial oxygen to fraction of inspired oxygen [PF ratio]) less than (<) 300 prior
to randomization
- Participant was intubated and receiving mechanical ventilation prior to randomization
- Participants must had initiated mechanical ventilation within 48 hours prior to
screening, or had an immediate clinical plan for such intervention at time of
screening
- Participant was likely to survive, in the opinion of the investigator, for at least 72
hours from the time of screening
Exclusion Criteria:
- Participant had fulminant hepatic failure at Screening
