Ensitrelvir Reduces symptoms in mild to moderate COVID-19: Phase 3 Trial
Despite vaccination efforts, COVID-19 treatment options are still needed, especially for those with mild to moderate symptoms. Ensitrelvir, a novel antiviral medication, was evaluated in a randomized clinical trial to assess its ability to reduce symptom duration and improve patient outcomes. As the COVID-19 pandemic continues, the search for effective treatment options remains paramount.
This study was published in the journal JAMA Network Open by Hiroshi Y and colleagues. A recent phase 3 clinical trial investigated the efficacy and safety of ensitrelvir in patients with mild to moderate COVID-19. The phase 3 trial, part of a larger phase 2/3 study, was conducted across 92 institutions in Japan, Vietnam, and South Korea from February 10 to July 10, 2022. A total of 1821 patients aged 12 to <70 years with mild to moderate COVID-19 were enrolled, randomized, and followed for 28 days.
