| List | Outcome | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| Primary | Time to Sustained Alleviation of Overall COVID-19 Signs and Symptoms Through Day 28 | From 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. |
| Secondary | Number of Participants With Treatment Emergent Adverse Events (TEAEs), Serious AEs and AEs Leading to Study and Study Drug Discontinuation | From 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. |
| Secondary | Percentage of Participants With COVID-19 Related Hospitalization or Death From Any Cause Through Day 28 | From Day 1 to Day 28 | Percentage 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. |
| Secondary | Percentage of Participants With Death Through Week 24 | From Day 1 to Week 24 | Percentage of participants with death (all-cause) event were reported in this outcome measure. |
| Secondary | Number of COVID-19 Related Medical Visits Per Day Through Day 28 | From Day 1 to Day 28 | Number of COVID-19 related medical visits per day were reported in this outcome measure. |
| Secondary | Duration of Hospitalization and Intensive Care Unit (ICU) Stay Through Day 28 | From Day 1 to Day 28 | |
| Secondary | Percentage of Participants With Severe Signs and Symptoms of COVID-19 Through Day 28 | From 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. |
| Secondary | Time to Sustained Resolution of Overall COVID-19 Signs and Symptoms Through Day 28 | From 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. |
| Secondary | Time to Sustained Alleviation of Each COVID-19 Signs and Symptoms Through Day 28 | From 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. |
| Secondary | Time to Sustained Resolution of Each COVID-19 Signs and Symptoms Through Day 28 | From 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. |
