Figure 2. SARS-CoV-2 Viral Load over Time.

Figure 2

Shown is the change in mean viral load (in log10 copies per milliliter) from baseline at each visit through day 7 in the overall population (modified full analysis set, which excluded patients who tested negative for severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 [SARS-CoV-2] by qualitative reverse-transcriptase polymerase chain reaction at baseline) and in groups defined according to baseline antibody status and baseline viral load. 𝙸 bars in Panel C indicate the standard error. The least-squares mean difference between the groups in the time-weighted average change in viral load (TWA LS mean) from baseline through day 7, expressed as log10 copies per milliliter, was based on analysis-of-covariance models with treatment group, risk factor, and baseline antibody status as fixed effects and baseline viral load and treatment group–by–baseline viral load as covariates. The lower limit of detection (dashed line) is 714 copies per milliliter (2.85 log10 copies per milliliter).
