*EPIC-HR Trial Design: The safety and efficacy of PAXLOVID were evaluated in EPIC-HR (N=2113), a phase 2/3, randomised, double-blind, placebo-controlled study in nonhospitalised, unvaccinated, symptomatic adult participants with a laboratory-confirmed diagnoses of SARS CoV-2 infection at high risk for progression to severe disease. The primary endpoint assessed the proportion of participants with COVID-19–related hospitalisation or death from any cause through Day 28 when treated ≤3 days of symptom onset. The secondary endpoint similarly assessed patients treated ≤5 days of symptom onset.1,2 A full list of inclusion/exclusion criteria is available on clinicaltrials.gov.
