Study of the efficacy and safety of the new drug "Efesovir" in comparison with the drug "Remdesivir" in the treatment of patients hospitalized with COVID-19.
The hypothesis of clinical study is the clinical efficacy of new drug "Efesovir" is 10% to 30% higher than of "Remdesivir".
7,990 studies on the registry are indexed under COVID-19; 466 are open to participants now.
This study's planned enrollment of 62 is below the median of 102 across 4,364 interventional studies indexed under COVID-19.

Exclusion Criteria:
Underlined terms in the criteria open these too. Explained by clinicaltrials.gg, not part of the registry record. The study team decides who can take part.
Ways of preventing pregnancy. “Highly effective” methods fail less than 1% of the time a year when used correctly — for example an IUD or an implant.
Criteria usually say which methods count and how long to keep using them after the last dose, sometimes for male participants too. Some studies accept a partner’s vasectomy if it was confirmed successful and that person is the participant’s only sexual partner.
An allergy, or another reaction of the immune system, to a substance. “Hypersensitivity to the study drug” means a known allergic reaction to it — not every side effect a medicine can have.
Two enzymes measured in a routine blood test of the liver. Higher levels can mean the liver is under strain or damaged. SGPT and SGOT are older names for ALT and AST.
Criteria usually give a limit as a multiple of the upper limit of normal (ULN), often higher when cancer has spread to the liver.
GFR (glomerular filtration rate) is how much blood the kidneys filter each minute. It is usually estimated from a blood test — eGFR, by formulas such as CKD-EPI or MDRD — and some studies ask for it to be measured directly instead. Usually given in mL/min/1.73 m².
Check the method, the units and the minimum the study states. A value of 90 or above is in the normal-or-high range, but kidney damage can show in other tests too.
The share of blood the heart’s main pumping chamber (the left ventricle) pushes out with each beat, measured by an echocardiogram (heart ultrasound) or a MUGA scan. About 50–70% is normal.

The patients of experimental arm take study drug Efesovir twice a day as an antiviral therapy in dose 0.125 ml / kg. Daily dose of Efesovir: 0.250 ml / kg. Duration of treatment is 5 - 10 days, depending on the severity of the disease.
Drug: Efesovir
The patients are treated with the antiviral drug "Remdesivir" in dose 200 mg intravenously on the 1st day, then by 100 mg intravenously daily for 5 - 10 days, depending on the severity of the disease.
Drug: Efesovir
Antiviral therapy of COVID19 with Efesovir oral solution in dose 0.125 ml / kg two times per day. Duration of treatment is 5 - 10 days, depending on the severity of the disease.
Also known as: FS-1
Clinical Response Rate
Clinical Response Rate is calculated as the number of trial subjects with effective treatment over the total number of subjects multiplied by 100. It is calculated in each study group. Measured in percents. The outcome is estimated among randomized subjects completed clinical study with the protocol requirements (per protocol population (PPP)). Clinical response is evaluated as effective treatment if: all signs and symptoms of COVID19 are resolved or improved with no worsening or appearance of new signs and symptoms; there is no requirement for additional antiviral of antibacterial therapy; chest roentgenograms (CT scans) are improved. The outcome is assessed in day 21 from the start of Study Drug treatment (visits 13).
Time frame: 21 days
Early Clinical Response Rate
Early clinical response rate defined as complete resolution or significant improvement of at least 2 of 4 leading baseline signs and symptoms within 72 hours after the start of Study (Referent) Drug treatment. It is estimated in the Intent to Treat (ITT) population. The outcome is measured in percents.
Time frame: 72 hours (3 days) of study drug treatment
Early Clinical Response Rate in pneumonia
The outcome is estimated in patients with pneumonia due to coronavirus infection (modified ITT population). It is defined as complete resolution or significant improvement of at least 2 of 4 main clinical symptoms of pneumonia (cough, shortness of breath, chest pain, sputum) within 72 hours after the start of Study (or Referent) Drug treatment. The outcome is measured in percents. The percentage of subjects with an early clinical response to pneumonia in the compared groups is statistically estimated.
Time frame: 72 hours (3 days) of study drug treatment
Percentage of clinically stable patients
Percentage of patients at Day 3 who are clinically stable. Clinical stability defined as: * Blood oxygen saturation \>= 93% * Temperature \<=38.0°C * Heart rate \<=100 beats per minute * Respiratory rate \<=25 per minute * Systolic blood pressure ≥90 mm Hg * Ability to maintain oral intake * Normal mental status (oriented to person, place or time) A patient is considered to be clinically stable if all stability criteria are met. The outcome is assessed in ITT population. The difference between groups in the percentage of clinically stable patients from the total number of study subjects in the group is statistically evaluated.
Time frame: 72 hours (3 days) of study drug treatment
Survival rate
Percentage of participants surviving at day 21. The indicator is calculated as the number of live subjects at the last visit (day 21) divided by the total number of study subjects in the group multiplied by 100. The outcome is estimated among subjects who completed the study in compliance with the protocol (per protocol population (PPP)).
Time frame: 21 days
Clinical Status Change
The clinical status is determined by the ordinal scale: 1. Not hospitalized, no limitations on activities 2. Not hospitalized, limitation on activities and/or requiring home oxygen 3. Hospitalized, not requiring supplemental oxygen - no longer requires ongoing medical care 4. Hospitalized, not requiring supplemental oxygen - requiring ongoing medical care 5. Hospitalized, requiring supplemental oxygen 6. Hospitalized, on non-invasive ventilation or high flow oxygen devices 7. Hospitalized, on invasive mechanical ventilation or Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation 8. Death Clinical status is assessed in ITT population. The outcome is recorded at all visits, starting from the day of randomization. A decrease in points indicates the effectiveness of treatment. When the indicator changes during the day, the worst score of the day is recorded. Statistical analysis is performed on the Day 7 from the start Study Drug treatment, comparing with the score at randomization.
Time frame: 7 days
Adverse Events (AE)
The safety of Study Drug (Referent Drug) will be assessed by adverse event and serious adverse event monitoring.
Time frame: up to 21 days
Thyroid gland function
Changes in laboratory parameters of thyroid gland function (hormones) at the last visit in comparison with the baseline data (thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH), free triiodothyronine (FT3)).
Time frame: Day 21
Plan to share: Yes — all individual participant Data (IPD )that underlie results in a publication
Supporting information: Study protocol, Informed consent form, Clinical study report
