Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

This is a randomised placebo controlled phase II trial to examine the efficacy of antivirals to treat COVID-19 infection compared to placebo for virological cure and improved clinical outcomes. Individuals will be randomised to the candidate antiviral which in the first instance is Favipiravir or matched placebo and randomisation will be stratified according to whether the participant requires hospitalisation or not. This treatment will be given in addition to the usual standard of care in the participating hospital.
