Condition(s) studied

COVID-19

Investigational drug(s) / intervention(s)

Paxlovid →Antioxidant

Paxlovid: This adaptive platform trial will assess therapeutics for SARS-CoV-2 in out-patient settings. The first intervention arm is Paxlovid.

Study summary

CanTreatCOVID is an open-label, individually randomized, multi-centre, national trial. CanTreatCOVID aims to establish an adaptive platform trial aimed at evaluating the clinical- and cost-effectiveness, practical challenges, and outcomes of therapeutics for SARS-CoV-2 for non-hospitalized patients in Canada. Participants will be randomized to receive usual care (i.e. supportive care and symptom relief) or a study therapeutic, which will be determined by the Canadian COVID-19 Out-Patient Therapeutics Committee. The primary outcomes being evaluated is hospitalization and/or death at 28 days, as well as time to recovery.
