Methods Open‐label RCT
Participants Adult COVID‐19 patients with mild, moderate, and severe symptoms
Interventions Favipiravir, oseltamivir
Outcomes Primary
  • Clinical radiologic changes: changes in lung infiltrate in chest X‐ray and/or ground‐glass opacity in chest CT scan after 14 days of follow‐up. This outcome measure will be displayed as improvement/no changes/deterioration of radiologic examination results. Time frame: 14 days

  • Percentage of RT‐PCR test conversion: conversion of RT‐PCR swab result from positive to negative at the end of 14 days of follow‐up. This outcome measure will be displayed as conversion OR no conversion. Time frame: 14 days


Secondary (time frame for all secondary outcomes: 14 days)
  • Adverse events: mild to moderate adverse events, serious adverse events such as severe allergy and increased transaminase enzyme > 3x normal limit

  • Hospital length of stay (LOS): days of hospitalization from the first dose of intervention
