General comment |
In addition to the published report, the preprint article, the trial registry (dated May 28 2020) was used for data extraction and risk of bias assessment. The study achieved the target sample size as reported in the registry. There is no change from the trial registration in the intervention and control treatments. The registry primary outcome reflects the reported primary outcome, but timepoints were not specified in the registry. Additional outcomes are reported in the article, including mortality, antibody detection, self-reported health, and symptom duration.
This study was updated on the March 2nd, 2022 with data from the published report. |

Risk of bias Overall The overall risk of bias reported in the table corresponds to the highest risk of bias for the outcomes assessed for the systematic review |
Low |
General comment | In addition to the published article, the trial registry, protocol, statistical analysis plan and supplementary appendices were used in data extraction and assessment of risk of bias. There is no change from the trial registration in the intervention and control treatments. The primary outcomes described in the article generally reflect those in the registry, with the omission of the percentage of participants who discontinued study intervention due to an AE. Recruitment was terminated on the basis of positive efficacy results from a planned interim analysis performed when 50% of target enrollment had been followed through day 29, and thus the study (n = 1433) did not achieve its target sample size (n = 1550). |

General comment |
In addition to the pre-print, the three trial registries, protocol and statistical analysis plan were used in data extraction and risk of bias assessment. The supplementary figures and tables referred to in the article were not available through the medRxiv pre-print webpage. The article reports on the molnupiravir sub-study of a platform trial. The primary and secondary outcomes in the article reflect those in the registry. The trial (n = 180) achieved its target sample size (n = 180).

There is no change from the trial registration in the intervention and control treatments. The registry primary outcome reflects the reported primary outcome. Some outcomes (e.g. viral negative conversion, WHO Score 7 and above, adverse events) are reported in the paper, but were not pre-specified in the trial registry/protocol.

General comment | The conference abstract and the trial registry were used in data extraction and risk of bias assessment. The registry primary outcome reflects the reported primary outcome. The study (N =1218) achieved the target sample size specified in the trial registry (N =1218). This trial is still ongoing. Results on incidence of viral negative conversion and clinical improvement are reported with percentages only; we were unable to calculate the number of events since the denominators for the outcomes are unclear. |
