a

Results are for the intention-to-treat population of patients randomized in less than 72 hours of disease onset.

b

Primary analysis population.

c

Analysis of covariance using baseline SARS-CoV-2 RNA and SARS-CoV-2 vaccination history (yes or no) as covariates.

d

Low energy or tiredness, muscle or body aches, headache, chills or shivering, feeling hot or feverish, stuffy or runny nose, sore throat, cough, shortness of breath (difficulty breathing), nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea.

e

Based on a Peto-Prentice generalized Wilcoxon test stratified by SARS-CoV-2 vaccination history (yes or no).

f

Low energy or tiredness, muscle or body aches, headache, chills or shivering, feeling hot or feverish, stuffy or runny nose, sore throat, cough, shortness of breath (difficulty breathing), nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, anosmia, and dysgeusia.
