Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Time to Alleviation or Improvement of COVID-19 Symptoms (21.5 Hours)Up to 29 days

COVID-19 symptoms will be evaluated using the COVID-19 Symptom Diary (questions 1-12). The severity of each COVID-19 symptom will be recorded on a Likert scale (i.e none/mild/moderate/severe).

The time to alleviation or improvement of COVID-19 symptoms is defined as follows: for new symptoms, it is defined as the length of time taken from randomization to the point at which a Score of 0 or 1 has been maintained for a duration of at least 21.5 hours. For preexisting symptoms, it is defined as the time from randomization to when a patient's symptoms have been maintained or improved (requires at least a single category improvement from baseline on the COVID-19 Symptom Diary Likert scale) for a duration of 21.5 hours.

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Time to Alleviation of COVID-19 Symptoms (43 Hours)Up to 29 days

Time from randomization to the point at which the following criterion is met and maintained for at least 43 hours.

- Score of 0 or 1 on Items 1-12 of the COVID-19 Symptom Diary.

Time to Cessation of SARS-CoV-2 Viral SheddingUp to 14 days

Defined as time from randomization to the first time when a negative qualitative virus RNA by RT-PCR test result is obtained.

Percentage of Participants With Adverse Events (AEs)Up to Day 33 visit
Time to Alleviation or Improvement of COVID-19 Symptoms (43 Hours)Up to 29 days

COVID-19 symptoms will be evaluated using the COVID-19 Symptom Diary (questions 1-12). The severity of each COVID-19 symptom will be recorded on a Likert scale (i.e none/mild/moderate/severe).

The time to alleviation or improvement of COVID-19 symptoms is defined as follows: for new symptoms, it is defined as the length of time taken from randomization to the point at which a Score of 0 or 1 has been maintained for a duration of at least 43 hours. For preexisting symptoms, it is defined as the time from randomization to when a patient's symptoms have been maintained or improved (requires at least a single category improvement from baseline on the COVID-19 Symptom Diary Likert scale) for a duration of 43 hours.

Time to Alleviation of Individual SymptomsUp to 29 days

Time from randomization to the point at which the following criterion is met and maintained (for each individual symptom) for at least 21.5 hours.

- Score of 0 or 1 for Items 1-14 of the COVID-19 Symptom Diary

Duration of FeverUp to 29 days

Time to return to an afebrile state (temperature ≤ 37.5°C) maintained for at least 21.5 hours.

Percentage of Participants With Any Post-Treatment InfectionUp to Day 33 visit

Post-treatment infections were defined as any treatment-emergent adverse event with a primary system organ class of infections and infestations.

Change From Baseline in the Amount of Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2) Virus RNABaseline and on Days 3, 5, 7 and 14

Plasma Concentration of AT-273 at Specified TimepointsUp to 7 days

AT-511 is the free base form of RO7496998 (AT-527). Major metabolites are AT-551, AT-229, and AT-273 (a surrogate for the intracellular concentration of the active triphosphate metabolite AT-9010)

Time to Alleviation of COVID-19 Symptoms (21.5 Hours)Up to 29 days

Time from randomization to the point at which the following criterion is met and maintained for at least 21.5 hours.

- Score of 0 or 1 on Items 1-12 of the COVID-19 Symptom Diary.

Time from randomization to the point at which symptoms (Items 1-12 of the COVID-19 Symptom Diary) have improved by at least one category from baseline on the COVID-19 Symptom Diary Likert scale, maintained for at least 21.5 hours.

Percentage of Participants Requiring Hospitalization for COVID-19Up to Day 33 visit

Hospitalizations for COVID-19 are defined as SAEs for which the investigator has cited that the suspected cause was the disease under study and where there is a non-missing hospital admission date.

Percentage of Participants Positive for SARS-CoV-2 Virus RNA at Specified TimepointsBaseline and on Days 3, 5, 7 and 14

Defined as percentage of participants with a positive qualitative virus RNA by RT-PCR.

Plasma Concentration of AT-511 at Specified TimepointsUp to 7 days

AT-511 is the free base form of RO7496998 (AT-527).

Plasma Concentration of AT-229 at Specified TimepointsUp to 7 days

AT-511 is the free base form of RO7496998 (AT-527). Major metabolites are AT-551, AT-229, and AT-273 (a surrogate for the intracellular concentration of the active triphosphate metabolite AT-9010)

Percentage of Participants With Greater Than or Equal to 1 COVID-19 Related Medically Attended VisitUp to Day 33 visit

Medically attended visit is defined as hospitalization, emergency room (ER) visit, urgent care visit, physician's office visit, or telemedicine visit, with the primary reason for the visit being COVID-19.

Percentage of Participants With COVID-19 Related ComplicationsUp to Day 33 visit

COVID-related complications are defined as death, hospitalization, pneumonia, sepsis, coagulopathy, pericarditis/myocarditis and cardiac failure.

Pneumonia, acute respiratory failure, sepsis, coagulopathy, pericarditis/myocarditis, and cardiac failure were adjudicated per blinded manual medical review of events by an internal adjudication team before study readout.
