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 were some differences in primary outcome and outcome timepoints between the original registry and updated registry (post-recruitment), and between the original protocol and final protocol (amended during the study), but the database was not unlocked until completion of follow up for all participants, overseen by the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases data and safety monitoring board. Some outcomes in the registry (hospitalizations, ER visits, pharmacokinetic) are not reported. The article reports results from an 8-week evaluation period amongst a prevention population from an ongoing, multi-part study that also includes a treatment population (to be reported separately) and a population with risk factors. The study (n = 966 in the prevention population) did not achieve its target sample size (approximately 1300 in the prevention population). |
