This was a phase IIa, double-blind, placebo-controlled, randomized trial, designed to compare the safety, tolerability, and antiviral activity of EIDD-2801 (molnupiravir) versus placebo as measured by SARS-CoV-2 viral RNA detection in symptomatic adult outpatients with COVID-19.


Clinical Trial Description

This was a phase IIa, double-blind, placebo-controlled, randomized trial, designed to compare the safety, tolerability, and antiviral activity of molnupiravir versus placebo as measured by SARS-CoV-2 viral RNA detection in symptomatic adult outpatients with COVID-19. The study was a multicenter trial that was conducted in the United States. In this study, 204 participants were randomized and 202 received molnupiravir or placebo orally twice a day (BID) for 5 days. The study enrolled participants in 5 parts with each part evaluating molnupiravir doses of either 200 mg BID, 400 mg BID, or 800 mg BID. Doses were chosen based on emerging virology and safety data from this and ongoing studies. New dose groups were started after the selected dose had been studied for safety in a Phase 1 study. ;
