* Rdm = randomized; DB = double–blind; PC = placebo-controlled. Negative delay means that the treatment began before the virus challenge or symptoms onset. The positive delay means that the treatment began after virus challenge or symptoms onset. Initially, the clinical trials should be placebo-controlled, but no reliable control was possible because of the rarity of EV infections. NS = not specified.
