Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
A reduction in SARS-CoV-2 viral load is expected in populations at increased risk as measured by qPCR (viral clearance)

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
A faster normalisation of symptoms is expected in participants with mild to moderate disease, i.e. who maintain this clinical profile after the end of study treatment. A reduction in the time to viral elimination and viral culture positivity is also expected. Evaluation of the frequency of adverse events and viral genotyping will also be assessed
