Measure
Placebo
Placebo by mouth 1 time per day for patients with stage I or stage 2A COVID-19 Placebo: Oral placebo, given from date of admission through time participant is stable for discharge for inpatient participants in mild/moderate COVID-19 infection stages. Placebo will continue for 1 month post discharge. Participants progressing to requirement for advanced oxygenation will be reassigned to Ketamine arm.
Naltrexone
Naltrexone 4.5 mg by mouth 1 time per day for patients with stage I or stage 2A COVID-19. Naltrexone: Low dose naltrexone, 4.5 mg by mouth, given from date of admission through time participant is stable for discharge for inpatient participants with mild/moderate COVID-19 infection stages. Naltrexone will continue for 1 month post hospital discharge. Patients progressing to requirement for advanced oxygenation will be reassess when sedation and assigned to Ketamine arm. Naltrexone may be reduced to 1.5 mg/day if interfering with sedation and can be held when sedation and symptoms of withdrawal is an issue..
Ketamine
Ketamine IV infusion (0.15 mg/kg maximum 20 mg every 6 hours) for patients with stage 2B or 3 COVID-19; may be increased to 0.3 mg/kg to a maximum of 30 mg every 6 hours if needed. Patients entering this arm from the placebo or naltrexone arms remain on those medications as well. Naltrexone: Low dose naltrexone, 4.5 mg by mouth, given from date of admission through time participant is stable for discharge for inpatients with mild/moderate COVID-19. Naltrexone will continue for 1 month post discharge. Patients progressing to requirement for advanced oxygenation will be reassessed and assigned to Ketamine arm. Naltrexone may be reduced to 1.5 mg/day if interfering with sedation . Placebo: Oral placebo, given from date of admission through time participant is stable for discharge for inpatient participants in mild/moderate COVID-19 infection stages. Placebo will continue for 1 month post discharge. Participants progressing to requirement for advanced oxygenation will be reassigned to Ketamine arm.
