Each outcome the trial registered, primary first, in ClinicalTrials.gov's words.
| List | Outcome | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| Primary | Patient-Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System (PROMIS)-29 Physical Health Summary Score | Day 10 | This measure will evaluate whether there is a difference between treatment with Ensitrelvir versus placebo in baseline adjusted mean PROMIS-29 Physical Health Summary Score at 10 post-\[ADD\]. PROMIS-29 is a validated scale assessing physical function, anxiety, depression, fatigue, sleep disturbance, ability to participate in social activities, and pain. Each domain is scored on a 5-point scale (without any difficulty, with a little difficulty, with some difficulty, with much difficulty, unable to do). A T-score is calculated from each individual domain. A T score of 50 represents the mean for US general adult population, and 10 is the standard deviation. A lower T score indicates worse physical health. |
| Secondary | Patient-Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System (PROMIS)-29 Physical Health Summary Score | Day 30 | This measure will evaluate whether there is a difference between treatment with Ensitrelvir versus placebo in baseline adjusted mean PROMIS-29 Physical Health Summary Score at Day 30 post-randomization. PROMIS-29 is a validated scale assessing physical function, anxiety, depression, fatigue, sleep disturbance, ability to participate in social activities, and pain. Each domain is scored on a 5-point scale (without any difficulty, with a little difficulty, with some difficulty, with much difficulty, unable to do). A T-score is calculated from each individual domain. A T score of 50 represents the mean for US general adult population, and 10 is the standard deviation. A lower T score indicates worse physical health. |
| Secondary | Patient-Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System (PROMIS)-29 Mental Health Summary Score | Day 10 | This measure will evaluate whether there is a difference between treatment with Ensitrelvir versus placebo in baseline adjusted mean PROMIS-29 Mental Health Summary Score at Day 10 post-randomization. PROMIS-29 is a validated scale assessing physical function, anxiety, depression, fatigue, sleep disturbance, ability to participate in social activities, and pain. Each domain is scored on a 5-point scale (without any difficulty, with a little difficulty, with some difficulty, with much difficulty, unable to do). A T-score is calculated from each individual domain. A T score of 50 represents the mean for US general adult population, and 10 is the standard deviation. A lower T score indicates worse mental health. |
| Secondary | Patient-Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System (PROMIS)-29 Mental Health Summary Score | Day 30 | This measure will evaluate whether there is a difference between treatment with Ensitrelvir versus placebo in baseline adjusted mean PROMIS-29 Mental Health Summary Score at Day 30 post-randomization. PROMIS-29 is a validated scale assessing physical function, anxiety, depression, fatigue, sleep disturbance, ability to participate in social activities, and pain. Each domain is scored on a 5-point scale (without any difficulty, with a little difficulty, with some difficulty, with much difficulty, unable to do). A T-score is calculated from each individual domain. A T score of 50 represents the mean for US general adult population, and 10 is the standard deviation. A lower T score indicates worse mental health. |
| Secondary | Quality of Life (Global Health Score) on a 100-point Visual-Analogue Scale | Day 10 | This measure will evaluate whether there is a difference between treatment with Ensitrelvir versus placebo in the baseline adjusted mean Quality of Life 100-point Visual-Analogue-Scale at Day 10 post-randomization. 0 represents the worst health a person can imagine and 100 represents the best health a person can imagine. |
| Secondary | Quality of Life Score (5-Item EuroQol EQ-5D-5L) Index Value Score | Day 10 | This measure will evaluate whether there is a difference between treatment with Ensitrelvir versus placebo in baseline adjusted mean Quality of Life (5-Item EuroQol EQ-5D-5L) Index Value Score at Day 10 post-randomization. 5-Item EuroQol EQ-5D-5L questions assess pain/difficulty in day-to-day activities over the past week. The 5-Item EuroQol EQ-5D-5L produces a score that typically ranges from 0 - 1, with a higher score indicating better quality of life. |
| Secondary | Duke Activity Status Index (DASI) | Day 10 | This measure will evaluate whether there is a difference between treatment with Ensitrelvir versus placebo in baseline adjusted mean DASI at Day 10 post-randomization. The Duke Activity Status Index is a patient-reported estimate of functional capacity, maximal oxygen consumption (VO2 max) and maximum metabolic equivalent of tasks (METs). The DASI questionnaire produces a score between 0 and 58.2 points, which is linearly correlated with a patient's VO2 max and METs, as measured from cardiopulmonary exercise testing (CPET). It inquires about a person's ability to perform self-care, walk, climb stairs, run, do house and yard work, engage in sexual intercourse, and perform moderate recreational activities. A higher score indicates higher functional capacity. |
| Secondary | Orthostatic Hypotension Questionnaire (OHQ) Composite Score | Day 10 | This measure will evaluate whether there is a difference between treatment with Ensitrelvir versus placebo in baseline adjusted mean OHQ composite score at Day 10 post-randomization. The Orthostatic Hypotension Questionnaire (OHQ) was developed as a psychometric tool to capture patients' experience quantifying symptomatic burden and functional limitations caused by neurogenic orthostatic hypotension The OHQ composite score range is 0 -10 with a higher score indicating higher burden. |
| Secondary | World Health Organization Disability Assessment Schedule 2.0 (WHO-DAS 2.0) Questionnaire | Day 10 | This measure will evaluate whether there is a difference between treatment with Ensitrelvir versus placebo in baseline adjusted mean WHO-DAS 2.0 score at Day 10 post-randomization. The World Health Organization Disability Assessment Schedule 2.0 questionnaire asks about difficulties due to health conditions. Health conditions include diseases or illnesses, other health problems that may be short or long lasting, injuries, mental or emotional problems, and problems with alcohol or drugs. The range is scored from 0-48, with a higher score indicating a higher level of disability. |
| Secondary | Patient Global Impression of Change (PGIC) | Day 10 | This measure will evaluate whether there is a difference between treatment with Ensitrelvir versus placebo on the Patient Global Impression of Change (PGIC) scale at Day 10 post-randomization. The self-reported PGIC reflects a patient's belief about the efficacy of treatment. We used a modified PGIC scale which has been used to study pain syndromes and has been employed in other Long COVID clinical trials. It is a common data element developed by the National Institutes of Mental Health. The PGIC ranges from 0 (Much better) to 10 (Much Worse). A score of 5 indicates no change. |
