Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| A reduction in SARS-CoV-2 viral load is expected in populations at increased risk as measured by qPCR (viral clearance) | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time 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 | — |
