Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Main Objective: The aim of the study is to investigate if early preemptive therapy with amantadine in non-hospitalized high-risk individuals with symptomatic COVID-19 disease can prevent disease progression.;Secondary Objective: Not applicable;Primary end point(s): The primary outcome is clinical status on day 14 assessed by the ordinal scale suggested by WHO. 1)Ambulatory with no limitations to activities. 2) Ambulatory with limitations to activities. 3) Hospitalized without oxygen therapy. 4) Hopitalized and oxygen therapy by mask or nasal prongs. 5) Hospitalized and non-invasive ventilation or high flow oxygen. 6) Intubation and mechanical ventilation. 7) Ventilation + additional organ support -pressors, ECMO. 8) Death ;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: Day 14.
