Clinical Trial Description

The clinical picture of 2019-nCoV disease is in a broad spectrum, which includes asymptomatic infection, a mild upper respiratory tract infection, respiratory failure, and even severe viral pneumonia with death. Although the mortality rate is not yet clear, the reported case-fatality risk was 11-14% during the initial studies which included patients with severe disease. The overall case fatality rate was reported as approximately 2%. In addition, most cases have resulted in a pneumonia requiring supplemental oxygen therapy and ventilator support. The alarming levels of spread and severity of COVID-19 caused a global emergency and this outbreak has been characterized as a pandemic by the World Health Organization (WHO).

Studies have suggested that investigational product favipiravir can improve the recovery of patients with mild disease and reduce the treatment duration from less than 11 days.
