ITT, intent-to-treat.

The ITT population excluded 2 subjects with no drug intake (favipiravir arm) and 1 subject with no post baseline efficacy assessment (favipiravir arm).

The favipiravir arm received treatment with favipiravir + standard supportive care; the control arm received standard supportive care alone.

Kaplan–Meier was used to estimate the median duration of time-to-event and 95% confidence intervals. The two treatment groups were compared using a log-rank test to estimate the P value. The hazard ratio of favipiravir/control was computed based on the Cox regression model with covariates of age, treatment, and baseline comorbidity. Subjects who terminated the study without documented event were censored at day 28. Subjects who died without documented event were censored at day 28 or the date of death, whichever was later.

Only patients with clinical signs and symptoms at baseline were included in this analysis.
