Limitations and caveats
In participant flow, there was discontinuations due to AE, which was captured under Death as reason for discontinuation. Adverse event was COVID-19 pneumonia and the participant died due to that event and discontinued study.

ListOutcomeTime frameDescription
PrimaryTime to Sustained Alleviation of Overall COVID-19 Signs and Symptoms Through Day 28From Day 1 to Day 28
Sustained alleviation of targeted COVID-19 signs/symptoms was defined as the event occurring on the first 4 consecutive days when all symptoms scored as moderate or severe at the time of enrollment were scored as mild or absent and those scored mild or absent at the time of enrollment were scored as absent. Missing severity at baseline was considered as mild. Time to sustained alleviation of all targeted COVID-19 signs and symptoms through Day 28, was calculated as time (days) from start of study intervention or placebo (Day 1) until sustained alleviation of all targeted COVID-19 associated signs and symptoms. In this outcome measure time to sustained alleviation is reported consolidated for overall COVID-19 signs and symptoms.
SecondaryNumber of Participants With Treatment Emergent Adverse Events (TEAEs), Serious AEs and AEs Leading to Study and Study Drug DiscontinuationFrom start of study intervention (Day 1) up to Day 34
An AE was defined as any untoward medical occurrence in a participant or clinical study participant temporally associated with the use of study intervention, whether or not considered related to the study intervention. An SAE was defined as any untoward medical occurrence at any dose that resulted in any of the following outcomes: death; life-threatening ; required inpatient hospitalization or prolongation of existing hospitalization; persistent or significant disability/incapacity ; congenital anomaly/birth defect; or that was considered as an important medical event. TEAEs were defined as events that started on or after the study medication start date and time. AEs included both serious and all non-serious adverse events. AEs that led to study discontinuation and AEs that led to discontinuation of study intervention and then continued study were also reported in this outcome measure.
SecondaryPercentage of Participants With COVID-19 Related Hospitalization or Death From Any Cause Through Day 28From Day 1 to Day 28Percentage of participants with COVID-19 related hospitalization or death from any cause during the first 28 days of the study was estimated using the Kaplan-Meier (KM) method.
SecondaryPercentage of Participants With Death Through Week 24From Day 1 to Week 24Percentage of participants with death (all-cause) event were reported in this outcome measure.
SecondaryNumber of COVID-19 Related Medical Visits Per Day Through Day 28From Day 1 to Day 28Number of COVID-19 related medical visits per day were reported in this outcome measure.
SecondaryDuration of Hospitalization and Intensive Care Unit (ICU) Stay Through Day 28From Day 1 to Day 28
SecondaryPercentage of Participants With Severe Signs and Symptoms of COVID-19 Through Day 28From Day 1 to Day 28
Participants recorded a daily severity rating of their symptom severity over the past 24 hours based on a 4-point scale in which 0 was reported if no symptoms were present; 1 if mild; 2 if moderate; and 3 if severe. A participant with severe score for any targeted symptoms post-baseline was counted as severe. Vomiting and diarrhea each was rated on a 4-point frequency scale where 0 was reported for no occurrence, 1 for 1 to 2 times, 2 for 3 to 4 times, and 3 for 5 or greater. Sense of smell and sense of taste each be rated on a 3-point Likert scale where 0 was reported if the sense of smell/taste was the same as usual, 1 if the sense of smell/taste was less than usual, and 2 for no sense of smell/taste.
SecondaryTime to Sustained Resolution of Overall COVID-19 Signs and Symptoms Through Day 28From Day 1 to Day 28Sustained resolution was defined as when targeted symptoms are scored as absent for 4 consecutive days. The first day of the 4 consecutive-day period was considered the first event date.
SecondaryTime to Sustained Alleviation of Each COVID-19 Signs and Symptoms Through Day 28From Day 1 to Day 28
Sustained alleviation of targeted COVID-19 signs/symptoms was defined as the event occurring on the first 4 consecutive days when all symptoms scored as moderate or severe at the time of enrollment were scored as mild or absent and those scored mild or absent at the time of enrollment were scored as absent. Missing severity at baseline was treated as mild. Time to sustained alleviation of all targeted COVID-19 signs and symptoms through Day 28, was calculated as time (days) from start of study intervention or placebo (Day 1) until sustained alleviation of all targeted COVID-19 associated signs and symptoms. In this outcome measure time to sustained alleviation is reported for each COVID-19 signs and symptoms.
SecondaryTime to Sustained Resolution of Each COVID-19 Signs and Symptoms Through Day 28From Day 1 to Day 28
Sustained resolution was defined as when targeted symptoms are scored as absent for 4 consecutive days. The first day of the 4 consecutive-day period was considered the first event date. In this outcome measure time to sustained resolution is reported consolidated for each COVID-19 signs and symptoms.
