Trial Outcomes & Findings for Safety, Tolerability and Efficacy of Molnupiravir (EIDD-2801) to Eliminate Infectious Virus Detection in Persons With COVID-19 (NCT NCT04405570)

NCT ID: NCT04405570

Last Updated: 2022-02-16

Results Overview

The number of participants until first non-detectable SARS-CoV-2 in nasopharyngeal (NP) swabs will be estimated for each randomized arm (drug versus placebo), using Kaplan-Meier methods with a corresponding log-rank test. Non detectable defined as "a viral load below the limit of quantification
